What to do if you're involved in a car crash

Being involved in a crash is a stressful experience. Whether at fault or not, crashes can happen anywhere, anytime. When a crash does occur, Fleetcare can help you manage this process making it easier for you to be back on the road.

In the event of a crash, you should take the following steps:

Immediately after the crash

• Stop your vehicle and remain calm.
• If the crash is minor and the vehicle can be moved safely, turn on hazard lights and move to the side of the road.

• If the police have been called, stay at the scene of the crash until the police arrive.

Who do I contact?
