What should I do if I witness a traffic crash?

If you witness a crash, if possible, stop on the side of the road and stay until the police arrive. If you are not able to remain, you should call police dispatch at 314.644.7100 or 911 if there are injuries, and advise that you have witnessed the crash. The dispatcher will forward your name and contact information to the investigating officer.
