Kinds of Emergency Situations and Incidents

Learning Objective:
At the end of this lesson, the trainees will be able to identify the different
kinds of emergency and potential situations.

Introduction:
An emergency is any situation that possess and immediate threat to a
person’s health, security, property, or environment. As a driver, you my
encounter various types of emergencies on the road where victims will be
needing your help. Hence, knowing how to be able to help the victim.

The following are the kinds of emergency situations:

1. Vehicle Collision
A traffic collision, also known as a motor vehicle collision (car
crash in case cars are involved in the collision), occurs when
a vehicle collides with another vehicle, pedestrian, animal, road debris, or
other moving or stationary obstruction, such as a tree, pole or building. Traffic
collisions often result in injury, disability, death, and property damage as well
as financial costs to both society and the individuals involved. Road transport
is the most dangerous situation people deal with on a daily basis, but casualty
figures from such incidents attract less media attention than other, less
frequent types of tragedy.

Procedures
 A. Rear-end Collision

Rear-end collisions often result from drivers failing to pay attention to the road
or following too closely. When a
motorist doesn’t maintain enough
space from the vehicle in front in
traffic, then the rear driver may lack
the time and space to brake and
avoid a collision if traffic ahead stops
suddenly. Drowsy driving, impaired
driving, and driving while distracted
are all common contributors to rear-
end collisions.

While the rear driver often causes the crash by driving too close to the
forward vehicle, they’re not always at fault. The forward driver might be at
fault if he or she stopped suddenly in an active traffic lane or reversed without
reason.
Injuries in rear-end collisions run the gamut from minor to severe. Even at low
speeds, rear-end accident victims can develop severe injuries such as broken
bones, neck injuries, and damage to the spinal cord.

B. Head-On Collisions

Head-on collisions are among the

most dangerous kinds of crashes, though less common than other types of
auto accidents. Because both vehicles are moving toward each other, the
force of impact is magnified.

As a consequence, head-on collisions are much more likely to result in

severe injuries or death than other types of car accidents.

Common causes of head-on collisions include distracted driving, driving while

impaired, driver fatigue, speeding, and reckless driving. Injuries from head-on
collisions are often severe and may include traumatic brain injuries, spinal
cord damage, internal organ damage, broken bones, and more.

Procedures

C. Side-Impact Collisions
Side-impact collisions occur when a vehicle moving in one direction strikes
another vehicle at a perpendicular angle. The vehicles often form a “T” shape
when they collide.
Side-impact collisions are especially
dangerous for occupants in the vehicle
that is struck in the side. The sides of
vehicles have less mass to absorb the
impact of a collision than the front and
rear ends of a vehicle.

Side-impact collisions are often caused

by drivers failing to yield, failing to stop at
intersections, or disregarding traffic signs
and signals. A driver who is distracted, impaired, or driving recklessly may
cause a side-impact collision and may be held financially accountable for the
injuries that others sustain in the crash.

D. Rollover Accidents

Rollover collisions happen

under a wide range of
circumstances and are more
likely to cause catastrophic
injuries. The force of being
flipped in a moving vehicle
often inflicts serious injuries
on anyone inside the vehicle.
Rollover accidents can lead
to vehicle fires from spilled
fuel or cargo igniting, which
can inflict additional injuries
or be fatal if the vehicle explodes.

A rollover accident can also lead to the driver’s or passengers’ ejection,

causing catastrophic injuries on impact. Some common causes of rollover
crashes include speeding, distracted driving, impaired driving, driving while
fatigued, driving off the road shoulder, and other vehicles or objects forcing
vehicles off the roadway.

Procedures

E. Merging Collision
Merging collisions occurs when a
car moves from one lane to a
parallel lane and hits a vehicle
already occupying that lane. This
can happen because the merging
car fails to speed up or slow down
enough to miss the car in the lane
beside them. They may misjudge
the space between the vehicles or
not see the other car for various
reasons.

There are also times when the car driving in the parallel lane cannot avoid an
accident. They may not realize the merging vehicle is trying to move into their
lane. This is common if the merging car fails to use a turn signal.

F. Multiple Vehicle Collisions

Multiple vehicle collisions
(colloquially known as a pile-
up or multi-car collision), is a road
traffic collision involving
many vehicles. Generally occurring
on high-capacity and high-speed
routes such as freeways, they are
one of the deadliest forms of traffic
collisions. The most disastrous
pileups have involved more than a
hundred vehicles.

Multiple-vehicle collisions are particularly deadly as the mass of crumpled

vehicles makes escape for survivors difficult. Even if survivors are able to exit
their vehicles, other cars may strike them. Individual vehicles in a multiple-
vehicle collision are often hit multiple times at high speed, increasing the risk
of injury to passengers who may have survived the first impact with the
benefit of now-discharged protective airbags. Collisions after the initial
collision may occur from the side of the vehicle, where the passenger
compartment is more vulnerable.

2. Crime Incidents
 An incident is an offense (violation, misdemeanor, or felony),
emergency or occurrence that is potentially dangerous to life, health, or safety
of a person or actually or potentially damages property.

These are the different example of a Crime Incidents:

A. Hold-up/Robbery

Robbery is the
threat of force, from the victim’s
person or presence and by putting
the victim in fear. According to
common law, robbery is defined
as taking the property of another,
with the intent to permanently
deprive the person of that
property, by means of force or
fear, that is, it is a larceny or theft
accomplished by an assault.
B. Kidnapping
In criminal law,
Kidnapping is the unlawful
transportation, asportation and
confinement of a person against
their will. It can also be defined as
false imprisonment by means of
abduction, both of which are
separate crimes that when
committed simultaneously upon
the same person merge as the
single crime of kidnapping.

C. Hit and Run
 In traffic laws, Hit and runs
include any accident where a
vehicle hits a person, object or
vehicle and the driver knowingly
leave the scene without
providing their information.

3. Fire Resulted from Engine Overheating or Faulty Electric Wiring.

A vehicle fire is an undesired conflagration (uncontrolled burning)
involving a motor vehicle. Also termed as car fire or a carbecue, it is one of
the most common causes of fire-related property damage.
Examples:
a. Fuel System Leaks- are the
most common cause of
automobile fires.

b. Electrical System Failures-

are the second most
common cause of vehicle
fires.

Procedures in the Event of Emergency

Learning Objective:
At the end of this lesson, the trainees will be able to know and
understand if what are the responsibilities and actions to be taken in
accordance with emergency procedures and/or regulatory requirements when
responding to an emergency.

Introduction:
As a driver, you may come across an accident while out on the road. It
can be a frightening and stressful experience but as professional driver and
as a responsible person, responding and taking actions must be your priority.
Hence, it is important to know exactly how to respond to emergencies and
take appropriate measures to prevent a potentially dangerous situation. Our
decision to help others can offer them a chance of survival.

The following are the steps that you can do when responding to an
emergency situation:

1. Pull your vehicle over

When you happen
to see an emergency
situation, stop to ensure
that there is really an
emergency.

Reminders:
 Park in a safe
position off the
road. This is to
ensure that you
will not cause traffic and to prevent further emergencies.
 Turn on your hazard lights and headlights. Any and all lighting that may
help other motorist see that there has been an accident and slow down
is necessary. Don’t put your bright lights on as this may temporarily
blind incoming motorists.

DRIVING NC II Date Developed : Document No.

Implementing and Coordinating Developed by:

Accident-Emergency Lea Marie C. Legaspi Page 17 of 00

Procedures

 If the accident is on a blind rise or bend, parking your vehicle back from
the accident in a “fend-off” position so vehicles see the accident scene
may help prevent further accidents.
 Put out your warning triangles if you have them.
2. Remain Calm
Although emergencies
require rapid action, the
most important factor in
effectively handling the
situation is to keep calm. If
you find yourself becoming
confused or anxious, stop
what you’re doing. Take a
few deep breaths to help
yourself relax. Remember
that to be calm in a stressful
situation, you must
deliberately adjust your behavior. Acting calm will also help other people
nearby relax as well. Reassure yourself that you can handle the situation.

3. Assess the emergency

A step in an
emergency response where
you assess the extent and
impact of the damage
caused by the accident and
the capacity of the affected
victim to meet its immediate
survival needs (degree of
vulnerability).

Although the impact

may vary considerably from
one emergency to another, typical needs that arise include:
 Immediate medical assistance
 Needs ambulance to immediately transport the victim with acritical
condition.

Procedures

4. Ask for help

If you have a companion, ask him/her to call the authorities. Thus, it is
important to know emergency numbers such as 911. Telephone appropriate
authorities (rescue squad, ambulance, police or fire department) and describe
the problem. Be sure to give your name, location and the number of people
involved.

A. Call the
emergency
hotline immediately. Notify the
dispatcher of the crash location, the
number and type of vehicles involved, and if any pedestrians or bicyclists are
involved.
 Answer all the questions the dispatcher asks. The job of the
dispatcher is to provide quick, appropriate emergency response.
He/she can only do this by asking these questions.
 If you are calling on a traditional telephone or a GPS-equipped
cellphone, emergency services may be able to track your location
even if you’re unable to speak. Even if you cannot talk, call
emergency services and someone will be able to find you to
provide help.
 It may be a good idea to go over how you would communicate
during an emergency, especially if you have a reason to expect
an emergency might arise.

B. Call the local police to report the accident. At the scene of the
accident, the police officer’s duty is to make sure everyone is safe and to
manage the logistics like automobile removal, traffic movement, and to
document the accident. After the accident, however, they may also have a
role in helping to determine fault.

5. Assist the injured

If you have a First Aid Kit,
take it out of your vehicle. Put on
the rubber gloves that are inside
the first aid kit.
 Calm and reassure the people that have been involved in the accident.
Make them aware you have called the emergency services and that help is
on the way. This may be the only thing and the most important thing you can
do to help someone involved in an accident.

The most important principles when helping an accident victim are the
following:

 Safety- Do not attempt heroics which may potentially jeopardize your

own safety. Your safety comes first before that of the injured. You are of
no use to anyone if you become injured while attempting to help others.
 If there is any fire/flames and you have a fire extinguisher, use it and
direct the foam/water at the base of the flames.
 Do NOT move the patient or attempt to remove them from the vehicle
UNLESS there is an immediate threat to life (e.g. the car is on fire and
you are unable to extinguish it). There may be an underlying injury to
the neck or spine and unnecessary movement could make this worse.
 If the person is unconscious, open the mouth and check if there is
nothing inside causing obstruction.
 Check if the person is breathing.
 If the patient is breathing, leave them in the position you find them and
monitor them regularly.
 If the patient is NOT breathing and you have been trained to do so, you
may begin CPR and rescue breathing necessary.
 If a person is bleeding heavily from a wound, take any available
material e.g. a t-shirt/gauze from the first aid kit/ a towel/ a blanket or
etc. and place it over the open bleeding wound. Then press tightly
applying direct pressure to the wound. Maintain that pressure until the
emergency services arrive. Do not stop pressing to check if there is
continued bleeding or to look at the wound. This procedure may save a
person’s life.

Handling Crime Incidents

Learning Objective:

At the end of the lesson, the trainees will be able to ensure safety when
witnessing and handling crime incidents on the road.
Introduction:

We sadly experience on our roads, not only threats from irresponsible

and bad drivers but also threats to life and property from criminals targeting
road users. All of us and our loved ones are worthy of protection and safety.
We may all at some stage become the victim or need assistance to recover
from the impact of the criminal activity.

When you witnessed a crime, it is important to consider reporting it to

the police. Although the consequences include that you may be required to
testify, you will do your social responsibility in some way, prevent future
similar crimes.

The following are the things that you need to consider when handling
crime situations:

1. Personal safety is your first priority

 The golden rule is Personal
Safety First!
 You firstly need to consider
your own safety- If this includes
avoiding confrontation that will
be the way to go.
 Our instinct is often to help the
victim in question- Yet one
should not get involved
especially when criminals are armed.
 Do not try to be a hero e.g. crashing into the car of the culprit or trying
to make a private arrest as this may endanger your life. No heroic
gesture is worth your own life.

Procedures

 Furthermore, the witness will not be any help to anyone should he/she
sustain an injury.
 Pay attention to road head, leaving enough distance between yourself
and the position of the incident to ensure safety from explosive material.

2. Who do we call when witnessing a road crime?

  When clearly a criminal act-
Call the police authorities first.
 When someone has been
struck in a hit-and-run it is of the
utmost importance to call the
numbers of emergency medical
services you may know.
 When there appears to be
criminal activity on our tolled
