Collisions are a common occurrence on the roadways and you may not know what to do if you’re involved in one.
The latest question for ‘Ask a Cop’ covers a motorist’s responsibility in a collision. Halton Police Constable and Media Relations Officer Ryan Anderson says you should know when to call the police.

He adds that collision centres are not open on weekends or holidays. That means you may have to meet at the centre on another day, which is one of the many reasons to gather each other’s information.

Recently, a woman ran out of gas on the QEW, causing a five-car pile up on the highway. Anderson says that while the OPP looks after highways, he can attest from many local multi-car pile ups that the process is long and arduous. That can be because of many factors; like weather, stress, injuries, etc. If you’re ever involved in a collision, especially one that involves multiple vehicles, know that the process won’t end quickly.
‘Ask a Cop’ will return next week with more of your questions being answered. Reach out if you have any questions that you’d like answered by a local police officer.
