WHAT TO DO AFTER A 15 PASSENGER VAN ROLLOVER ACCIDENT
Stay calm and collected. Calm behavior will reassure other
people who may have been injured in the accident.
Call 911 right away to report the accident so that help will
arrive as quickly as possible. Even if there were no serious
injuries you should contact the police.
Determine if you were injured in the rollover accident. If
you were not seriously injured check the status of other passengers.
Let them know that you have called 911, and reassure them
that everything is alright and try to keep them calm.
Check other accident victims for serious or life threatening
injuries.
Apply pressure to any bleeding areas on yourself or other
victims.
Unnecessary movement of injured victims may cause more pain
and suffering; only move an injured person if he or she is
in an area that may cause more harm.
Assess the scene of the accident for hazardous conditions,
such as gasoline leaking from a vehicle or power lines in
the middle of the street.
Do not interfere with the assistance provided by paramedics,
police officers, highway patrol, or fire fighters.
Write down anything that you can remember leading up to the
accident, and the location, time of day, road condition, and
weather when the accident occurred. If a camera is available
take photos of where the accident occurred and any damage
to your vehicle.
