2. Check for injuries: Check yourself and any passengers in your car for injuries. Call 911 if anyone needs medical attention.

3. Contact the police: Even if there are no injuries, it's important to contact the police to file an accident report. This can be important evidence if you need to file a personal injury claim.

4. Exchange information: Exchange contact and insurance information with the other driver(s) involved in the accident. Be sure to write down their names, phone numbers, license plate numbers, and insurance information.

5. Document the scene: Take photos of the accident scene, including damage to both vehicles and any injuries. This can be useful evidence if you need to file an insurance claim or lawsuit.
