Correct answer

  • BSí, en cuanto le sea posible.Yes, as far as they can.
Explanation

Any road user who witnesses an accident, whatever their vehicle, must help the victims or call for help, as far as possible (Article 129 of the General Traffic Regulations). You do not need to know first aid: it is enough to call 112 and protect the scene.
