A traffic accident occurs when vehicles collide or come into contact with each other or with objects on the road. These incidents can involve cars, trucks, motorcycles, bicycles, or pedestrians. Common causes include speeding, distracted driving, and poor weather conditions. Traffic accidents can lead to injuries, property damage, and even fatalities. Emergency services, such as police and ambulances, often respond to traffic accidents to provide assistance and investigate the scene. After an accident, drivers may exchange information, such as insurance details and contact information. Authorities may also analyze the accident to determine causes and prevent future incidents on the roads.
