If you witness or are involved in a road accident in Baguio, especially on Marcos Highway, Kennon Road, or the steep/foggy roads, prioritize life safety first—not determining who is at fault. 🚨 What to do immediately 1. Stop and secure the area * Turn on hazard lights. * If safe, place warning signs/triangles behind the vehicle. * Stay away from traffic, especially on blind curves. * Do not move an injured person unless there is immediate danger such as fire, falling rocks, or another collision. 2.

If someone is seriously injured * Don’t give food, drink, or medicine. * Don’t remove a helmet from an injured motorcycle rider unless necessary to manage an airway. * If they are bleeding heavily, apply firm pressure with clean cloth/gauze if you can safely do so. * Follow the 911 operator’s instructions. 4. Document the accident Once everyone is safe, take photos/videos of: * All vehicles and their positions * License plates * Damage * Road conditions, signs and lane markings * Skid marks/debris * Weather/fog/visibility * Nearby CCTV cameras or witnesses Don’t post the accident on social media while the situation is being handled. 5.
