What information should I give 999 after a road crash in Northern Ireland?

Give the exact location, the direction of travel where relevant and the number of vehicles involved, along with any immediate dangers or injuries.

nidirect's road first-aid guidance says emergency services need the exact location of the collision, including direction of traffic where relevant, and the number of vehicles involved.

Also explain obvious injuries, fire, trapped people or other immediate danger.

A useful emergency call describes the exact location, what has happened, how many people or vehicles are involved and any immediate hazards such as fire, traffic or trapped casualties.

DfI Roads is the key public-road authority for these Northern Ireland reporting services. Accurate road names, locations and defect details help route a report to the right maintenance or traffic team.
