What do I do if I am in an accident?
If you are in a non-injury accident with minimal damage, pull off the roadway and call the police department at 623-3131. While you are waiting for an officer to arrive, if other drivers are involved, exchange information with them. Have your insurance card and driver's license available for the officer. If you are in an injury accident, call 911 immediately and wait for officers to arrive.
