What to do in the event of a crash
Try to stay calm – don’t panic. Switch off the ignition, and activate emergency hazard lights. Check to see if anyone is injured, and if they can be assisted immediately. Keep yourself and others off the road.
If someone is injured, dial 000 (free call) and ask for either Ambulance, or Police, in order of urgency. Be prepared to tell the Emergency Service: It’s a car crash, where it’s located, how many people are injured and your name.
Exchange names, addresses, registration numbers and insurance company details. Do not admit liability for the accident, or blame yourself publicly (this is for your own legal protection). Contact your insurer at your earliest opportunity. They will work with all parties involved in order to determine responsibility.
Phone number (when exchanging details) Take photo’s of the damage to your vehicle and the other vehicle IF safe to do so.
If the car is unroadworthy (broken lights, damaged tyres, not able to open boot/bonnet) to contact Towing Allocations on 13 11 76 for Melbourne for a tow truck to be booked.
