Campus Safety

Traffic Accidents

To Avoid an Accident

  • Always keep a safe distance from the car in front of you. Increase this distance even more during rainy or foggy conditions.
  • Allow rude or impatient drivers to pass. Stay clear of weaving or reckless drivers; avoid passing them if possible.
  • Do not react to a driver who has become hostile. Avoid making eye contact or gesturing.

In Case of an Accident

  1. Unless there is immediate danger of further accidents, vehicles should be left in accident position for the perusal of the investigating authority. If there is danger and no serious injuries if possible, move your vehicles to a safe area such as a service station or well lit parking lot. Let the other driver know what you are doing so he/she does not think you are fleeing the scene.
  2. Conceal and secure any valuables before exiting your vehicle.
  3. Write down the names, addresses, and phone numbers of all persons involved and all witnesses. Also write down their vehicle description including the license plate.
  4. Notify Campus Safety or if off campus, other authorities.
  5. Notify your insurance company when practicable. Fill in the following: Insured By: Policy No:
