In the event of a traffic accident with minor vehicle damage in which no one was injured and the vehicle was still moving, please take photos and collect evidence and quickly evacuate the scene, move the vehicle to a place that does not affect traffic, and handle the matter through negotiation through the traffic control 12123 APP.
