What to do after a crash in Oxford

Call 911 and ask Oxford police, the Lafayette County Sheriff or the Mississippi Highway Patrol for a report. In Oxford, see a doctor within a day or two. Photograph the cars, the road and the signals, and collect witness names, which may include visitors who leave town the next day. For Oxford residents, Mississippi lets fault be shared between drivers, so give the other driver's side only the basics and wait before any recorded statement.

Crash patterns around Oxford

Highway 6 runs east and west along the north side of Oxford with signals and shopping, and Highway 7 runs north and south past the university and the commercial strip, both crowded with turning traffic. University Avenue and Jackson Avenue funnel students and visitors toward the campus and the Square. Home football weekends bring tens of thousands of fans, tailgaters and impaired drivers onto the roads, and pedestrians cross in heavy numbers at night. Spring storms, flash flooding and summer heat add to the hazards, and rolling hills limit sight distance on county roads.
