Photo sequence
Use the parts that fit your situation. Safety, medical care and official instructions take priority over completing the list.
- Start with wide views of the roadway and vehicle positions
- Add medium views of each vehicle and approach
- Take close views of damage, marks, debris and controls
- Photograph identifying details without posting them publicly
- Capture the vehicle again before repair, sale or disposal
Evidence index

Why this matters
An evidence index lets you find the original and explain its source without editing metadata or relying on memory.
