What to do after a car accident on I-15?

Secondary accidents like this are tragic and sadly not uncommon. The following are three safety precautions drivers should take if they are ever in a minor accident on a busy highway or road that does not involve serious injuries:

1. DO NOT get out of your car and stand around on a busy road to exchange information.
2. If no one is injured, move out of traffic and then call 911 and exchange information.
3. If a driver and / or passenger is injured, do not move cars. Each person involved should stay in their car with headlights and flashers turned on (if there are not any fuel leaks).  A call should be made to 911 and a police report citing all injuries should be obtained.
