Both parties should keep insurance and vehicle registration information within reach
Get a story and information any witnesses that may stop at the scene under the circumstances that one of the vehicle drivers changes their story after the occurrence
Record if the driver admits to fault or apologizes because they could deny it in court
Ask for an ambulance, along with police assistance, if needed because insurance will cover these bills
