Correct answer
Yes, except where their assistance is clearly unnecessary.
If you are a driver and come across a traffic accident involving casualties in which you are not involved, you are required to stop and provide assistance, unless your help is clearly unnecessary. You must help the victims, request further assistance if necessary, help prevent further danger, and contribute to traffic safety and the clarification of the facts. It is important not to alter the accident scene or the evidence unless this is essential for safety. If the authorities are already at the scene or your help is not required, it is best to continue on your way so as not to obstruct rescue operations or traffic. If officers are at the scene, follow their instructions.
