Correct answer
Yes, provided that assistance is necessary and no authority agents are present.
If you witness a traffic accident, you have certain obligations, unless authority agents are already present or your assistance is not needed. These obligations include: Helping or calling for help for the victims: if there are injured people, you must help or seek help. Helping to ensure safety and clarify the facts: this means helping to prevent further danger, helping to restore road safety, and assisting in clarifying what happened. Not altering the scene of the accident: you must not change the state of the scene or the evidence unless it is necessary for the safety of the injured or traffic. This is particularly important if there are fatalities or seriously injured people. You are not obliged to intervene if authority agents are already at the scene or if your help is not needed.
