It’s likely that you’ll be in shock if you’re involved in a car crash. So, if you don’t have the right training, it’s natural that you might not make the most rational decisions or get your priorities mixed up. This is why educating yourself about your top priorities in an accident and then practicing over and over again is so important. That way, you’ll tend to do what you need to do automatically, instead of panicking.

Generally speaking, if someone is conscious and communicating with you, and they tell you they’re fine, it makes sense to move on to check on everyone else. Though, keep in mind that someone who says they’re okay might not know that they’re hurt.

According to St John Ambulance, first make sure that the accident area is safe for both you and others. Park safely, turn on your hazard lights, put up warning triangles, and put on a high-visibility jacket if you have one in the car.

Then, make sure that you switch off the ignition of all the damaged surrounding cars. Meanwhile, if there are any larger diesel vehicles involved, apply their handbrake, put them in gear, or put a block in front of the wheels.

In the meantime, constantly observe your surroundings and make sure that you avoid any further oncoming traffic, and that nobody smokes near the car crash site. Then call the emergency services, and mention any damaged power lines, fuel spills, or hazardous cargo.

When it comes to everyone involved in the automotive accident, assume that they might all have neck of spinal injuries. “Treat the casualties in the position you find them if possible and make sure you support their head and neck at all times,” St John Ambulance warns.

Then, you should:

• Make sure to search the area to find any casualties who might be further away
• Ask the people nearby to help you
• See if anyone is trapped inside or under any vehicles. The fire service will need to help them
• Monitor the casualties, record their breathing, pulse, and level of response

Traffic collisions have massive negative consequences for individuals and society alike

As reported by the World Health Organization, around 1.19 million people lose their lives every single year due to road traffic crashes.

They are the leading cause of loss of life for children and young adults, aged between 5 to 29 years old.

The vast majority of the world’s fatalities on roads occur in low and middle-income countries.

And over half of all lives lost in car accidents involve vulnerable road users, including pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists.

As per the National Safety Council, in the United States in 2023 alone, motor vehicle incidents resulted in 5.1 million medically consulted injuries and injury costs at around $513.8 billion.

Automotive accidents have wide-ranging negative effects, from motor vehicle property damage and employer costs to medical expenses, administrative expenses, and wage and productivity losses.

Meanwhile, the WHO notes that road traffic crashes cost most countries around 3% of their gross domestic product.
