Explanation
Anyone who is involved in an accident, witnesses it or learns of it must help the victims or call for help; failing to do so may be the offence of failing to assist people in danger. Someone who is not involved is only exempt if their help is clearly not needed or if the authorities or their officers are already at the scene.
