In some cases, injured people must be placed in the recovery position; why?

Correct answer

So that they do not suffocate.

Whenever we encounter a casualty from a road accident who is not breathing properly on their own, we must place them in the recovery position, also called the lateral decubitus position. This will help open the airways and thus prevent them from suffocating.
