Incidents, accidents and emergencies

Which numbers can you call in the UK to reach the emergency services after a crash?

  • 999 or 112
    Correct
  • 101 or 111
  • 100 or 123
  • 911 only

Why?

Annex 7 of The Highway Code says to call the emergency services on 999 or 112. Both numbers reach the same operators, who can send the police, ambulance and fire service. The non-emergency numbers 101 and 111 are not for reporting a crash with casualties.
