Fotografate anche la posizione delle macchine prima di spostarle.
Also photograph the position of the cars before moving them.

Take a panoramic photo of the entire scene.

Prendete una foto con il GPS attivo per la geolocalizzazione.
Take a photo with GPS active for geolocation.
Modern smartphones embed GPS coordinates in photo metadata — police find this useful.
Italian insurance companies (compagnie assicurative) accept smartphone photos submitted via their claims apps. Major companies like Generali, UnipolSai, and Allianz have dedicated apps with guided photo sequences for accident documentation.
