Explanation

In a road accident with injured people, after protecting the scene, alert the emergency services to ask for help (112). Then make a general assessment of all the victims to see which one is in the most serious condition: check whether they are conscious, breathing or have a pulse. As a general rule, do not move the injured, and never give them food or drink, even if they ask for it.
