2. Exchange the following information with the other driver(s) involved in the auto accident: name, address, contact information, driver's license number and state of issue, and insurance company and policy number. Obtain the identity of witnesses and their contact information.
3. Contact the police or highway patrol.
   
4. If you are injured, seek medical attention immediately.
   Keep in mind, that some injuries do not manifest themselves for several hours or days.
   
5. Document any damages or injuries: Take photographs of the vehicles and your injuries.
