0730 what should you do when car accidents happen?

How should you do if you have a car accident when you drive? According to my friend’s description, a few days ago, my friend had a car accident while she was on the way to work. In the morning, she drove her car to hospital to work like normal days she did. While she switched her car from the inside lane to the outside lane, she almost cannot see the view in front of her car because of the glaring sunrise. Suddenly she heard a bump, so she stopped her car, and she realized she had a car accident. Another person who had accident with my friend is a 65-year-old bicyclist, and he was felt down on the sidewalk. Even though he was bleeding near his right ear, he still had consciousness. After about 10 minutes, one ambulance and one police car came, and the ambulance took the bicyclist to a hospital. The police officer asked my friend how this accident happened and took pictures. Finally, she got a simple accident sheet. The police told her to go home and fill out the online report.

When people have a car accident, the first thing is calm down. Calming down can help thoughts clear, and then you can deal with car accidents well. The second step is call 911. Telling to the responder of 911 the exact address where the accident happens and how many people get hurt is important. While the ambulance comes, you might ask ambulance men which the hospital the patient will be sent because you probably go to hospital to visit the injured people. When police officers come, they will take picture of the accident scene and want you to describe how the accident happens or answer some questions. Finally, you have to call your car insurance company you have a car accident, and ask them what you have to do next step. When the accident report comes out, police officers will tell you who have to take responsible for this accident. That’s all the processes of dealing with car accident.
