Numerous people called for help after an accident at the intersection of Broad Street and Packer Avenue took place on a recent afternoon. One person had to be taken to the hospital.

What You Can Do After an Accident
As noted, there is no significant information about the cause of the accident in this situation. However, it helps to know what you should do if you are involved in an accident. When possible, move yourself out of the way of further harm and call 911. You want law enforcement to arrive to document the incident and provide medical care.
Then, when it is safe to do so, take some photos of the accident scene and the surrounding area. Gather data on everyone involved, including names and contact information. Ask witnesses to share their contact information and statements about what they saw. Then, seek medical care right away. With that information, your attorney can investigate.
