Correct answer
- BLas que no se detienen ante un accidente en el que la ayuda no está organizada.Those who do not stop at an accident where help has not been organised.
The Criminal Code punishes anyone who does not help a person who is helpless and in obvious and serious danger when they could do so without risk to themselves or others. So a person who does not stop at an accident where help has not yet been organised commits the offence of failing to help; someone who cannot help must call for help.
