Winter weather car accidents are a common occurrence around the Bronx and New York.

Common winter weather accidents include:

• Spinouts: Snowy or icy road conditions can often result in tire spinouts, especially if the tires are worn down or not designed for wintery conditions.
• Rear-End Collisions: During hazardous weather conditions, it is always advisable to keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you. Failure to do so can result in a rear-end crash.
• Head-On Collisions: When the roads are slippery, you should always drive at a safe speed. It doesn't take much to lose control and skid into oncoming traffic.
• T-bone Accidents: Speeding or icy downhill conditions at an intersection can cause a driver's vehicle to skid, often resulting in a T-bone or broadside accident.

What to do after a winter weather accident

Following a winter weather accident, you may be wondering what to do next. The first thing you should do is secure the accident scene in order to prevent any more damage. Contact the police, and if another party is involved, exchange license and insurance information.
