Steps to Take After a Multi-Vehicle Collision in Scranton, PA

PennDOT reported 109,515 reportable crashes in Pennsylvania in 2025, including 979 fatal crashes. The agency also says driver behavior is the leading factor in 83 percent of the fatal crashes that occur each year. When several vehicles are involved, people often leave the scene unsure what to do next.

• See a medical provider the same day, even if you feel fine, because some injuries appear hours or days later.
• Ask police for the crash report number and the name of the investigating agency, so you can request the report when it is filed.
• Photograph every vehicle, the road, any fluids on the pavement, and your injuries before anything is moved or cleaned up.
• Get names and phone numbers from the other drivers, passengers, and witnesses while they are still there.
• Notify your own insurance company promptly, and keep every medical bill and record of missed work.
• Decline a recorded statement to another driver’s insurer until you understand your rights.
