BDifficulty 2/5

If you witness a traffic accident and are going to help while the emergency services arrive, should you move the injured?

Correct answer

No, unless it is essential for their safety.

Generally do not move them or take them out of the vehicle, as injuries could worsen. Protect the scene, call 112 and follow instructions. Moving them may be essential in immediate danger or for a life-saving intervention. Do not remove a helmet on your own initiative; if necessary to assist breathing, appropriate technique is needed, normally with two people.
