Correct answer
Protect the scene, yourself and those involved.
Protect: first check scene safety and your own safety, and avoid creating further risks for those involved. Then call 112 promptly and assist as directed and within what you can safely do. Protecting does not mean exposing yourself to traffic, routinely moving casualties or indefinitely delaying the call until every task is finished. Others can help and call while the scene is made safer.
