What to do if you're in an accident

It's happened to all of us at some point in our lives. You're driving down the road and you see something out of the corner of your eye: a car coming straight for you! Your heart starts pounding, your hands start shaking, and it feels like there is no way out. It's natural to panic when faced with this situation, but what should you do? The best thing that someone can do in this situation is stay calm and call 9-1-1 immediately.

The easiest thing that you can do is to remain calm and call 9-1-1 right away. This will be the first step in getting you out of harm's way as soon as possible. You can then follow these steps: Tell 9-1-1 your location: "I'm on (Insert road name here) at (Insert intersection or landmarks here) and there has been an accident."

Be ready to give a description of the vehicle(s) involved in the accident. If you can, try to find the license plate number or state that you did not have time. Also tell them if anyone was driving recklessly before the crash occurred.
