Correct answer
- CNo, excepto que con ello se perjudique la seguridad de los heridos o de la circulación.No, unless not doing so would put the safety of the injured or of traffic at risk.
If an accident has caused deaths or serious injuries, those involved must avoid changing the state of things and the marks or evidence that could help establish responsibility, unless this would put the safety of the injured or of traffic at risk (Article 129.2 of the General Traffic Regulations).
