What is the first action you should take when involved in a crash?

When involved in a crash, the first action you should take is to check for injuries. Assessing the condition of yourself, your passengers, and anyone else involved in the accident is crucial. This initial step ensures that you can address any immediate medical needs and prioritize safety. If there are injuries, calling for emergency services becomes necessary to get medical help on the scene as quickly as possible.

Moving the vehicle to safety is also important, but it should only be done if the vehicles can be safely moved without causing further harm to anyone involved. Engaging in a discussion with other drivers or exchanging information comes after ensuring that everyone’s well-being is the top priority. Safety and medical considerations should always come first in these situations.
