Dealing with a winter accident: Steps to take
With winter arriving earlier this year in Rochester, the roads are now icy and slippery, necessitating extra caution while driving. Captain Greg Bello of the Rochester Police Department stressed the importance of prioritizing your safety in the event of an accident. He suggested moving vehicles off the road to a safe location and calling 911 for assistance. If there are no injuries and the damage is under $1,000, a formal police report may not be needed. However, it is advisable to exchange insurance information and document the scene through photos or videos. Keeping an emergency kit in your car with essentials like a phone charger, non-perishable food, water, a blanket, and a flashlight is also recommended by safety experts like Mark Gruba from AAA.
