Highway or Freeway Accident: Safety, Evidence and Next Steps.

What to preserve from the start

• Use hazard lights and follow law-enforcement instructions.
• Do not remain in an active lane to document damage.
• Note the highway, exit, direction of travel and approximate location.
• Keep towing information and where the vehicle was taken.

Why this kind of crash can become complicated

• Witnesses can be difficult to locate after traffic moves on.
• Commercial vehicles and multiple lanes can complicate the sequence.
• Traffic-camera footage is not always retained for long periods.

Build a simple timeline

Write down the date, approximate time, location, vehicles involved and the sequence as you remember it. Then add reports, photos, medical care, insurance calls and new documents as they appear. A simple timeline is usually more useful than trying to reconstruct everything weeks later.
