You will often see that cars switch on their hazard lights when they are involved in some sort of accident and this is generally good practice to adopt. When it comes to accidents think safety first. Call an ambulance immediately if there is anyone who is injured. Note that if there are any injuries then it is a requirement to report the accident to the police as soon as possible - and within 24 hours.
