You can prevent further accidents by keeping your hazard lights on.
If it is dark and your lights don’t work, you should have a flashlight to keep you safe while you wait in your disabled car or by the side of the road.
Never drive away from the scene of an accident, even a minor one. Warn other motorists of road blockage by making use of items (eg. vehicle breakdown signs, red lights, reflectors).
Take photos of the scene and its surrounding areas, such as traffic signs, wet roads and debris.
Take close-up photos to document the extent of damage to your vehicle.
Take photos of the damage to the other vehicle(s) and their license plate(s). For multiple-vehicle collisions, photograph the vehicles with direct contact, i.e. the vehicle in front of and behind your vehicle.
If you have an in-vehicle camera, retain a copy of the video recording.
