Correct answer

  • CSeñalizar y asegurar la zona del accidente.Mark and secure the accident area.
Explanation

The first action when you witness an accident is to protect and mark the area to prevent new accidents. Once the scene is safe, alert the emergency services and, finally, help the injured, if you know how and without moving them unless there is serious danger. This follows the PAS principle: protect, alert and help.
