Public help for documenting an incident — calm, clear, and neutral.
Photos & video
Overall scene and approach directions
Each vehicle or object involved (multiple angles)
License plates and state (if safe and respectful)
Traffic controls, signs, signals nearby
Insurance cards — only if the other party agrees and it’s safe
Written details
Time, approximate location, weather, and a short factual description help later. Stick to what you saw — ALEC and OnSceneHelp don’t provide legal or medical interpretation.
Witnesses
If someone is willing, ask for a name and a way to contact them. Don’t pressure anyone.
