This is why we say: get safe first, sort the vehicle second.
A crash like this is never just “a towing job.”
It is a shaken driver.
It is traffic moving past.
It is emergency services doing their work.
It is damaged vehicles, debris, blocked lanes and a scene that needs to be handled properly.
When two vehicles are involved, there can be a lot going on very quickly — and the safest thing you can do is slow everything down.
If you’re ever involved in an accident:
Get yourself and passengers away from traffic if it’s safe.
Call 000 if anyone is injured, trapped or in danger.
Put your hazards on if you can.
Don’t stand between vehicles or near moving traffic.
Don’t try to drive a badly damaged car home.
Call a licensed tow operator to move it safely.
Modern vehicles can hide damage you can’t see straight away — steering, suspension, tyres, brakes, airbags, fluids and electrics can all be affected.
That quick “I’ll just get it around the corner” can turn into another problem pretty fast.
