Correct answer
- BNo sacarlos del vehículo hasta que llegue ayuda especializada, salvo que sea imprescindible.Do not take them out of the vehicle until specialised help arrives, unless it is essential.
Do not take injured people out of the vehicle after an accident, because moving an injured person without assessment and help from professionals can increase the risk of further injury. Keeping the injured inside the vehicle until specialised help arrives avoids making their injuries worse, as the emergency services have the equipment and training to handle medical situations safely and effectively. It is justified to take the injured out of the vehicle when there is imminent danger inside it, such as a fire, the need for resuscitation (CPR), or any other threat to the safety of the people inside. In such cases, the priority must be to get the injured away from the danger as quickly as possible, but always carefully, to avoid making their injuries worse.
