What to Do After a Car Accident in Minneapolis

A collision can make driving unsafe even when a vehicle still starts. Use this checklist to protect people first and prepare for recovery.

Check for injuries and hazards

Call emergency services for injuries, immediate danger, or a roadway hazard. Follow instructions from police, fire, or medical responders.

Move only when it is safe

Turn on hazard lights and move out of active traffic only if the vehicle can do so safely. Do not stand near damaged vehicles, leaking fluids, or traffic lanes.

Prepare for the tow

Tell Markaa Towing the collision location, vehicle damage, whether it rolls and steers, and the preferred destination. A flatbed tow may be considered for some damaged or specialty vehicles; dispatch confirms the appropriate equipment.
