Correct answer

  • CSí, a menos que la ayuda ya esté organizada.Yes, unless help is already organised.
Explanation

Under Article 129 of the General Traffic Regulations, all road users who witness or learn about an accident must help any victims. This includes working together to avoid further danger and to restore traffic safety. The correct answer is 'Yes, unless help is already organised': if no emergency service is already on its way, the person who witnesses the accident has a duty to help the injured.
