Correct answer
Assess hazards and protect without exposing yourself to another crash.
Protect: assess hazards and seek safety for yourself, the scene and those affected without traffic exposure. Then alert 112 promptly and follow its instructions; assist within your skills. Do not enter a dangerous area or routinely move casualties. Protection does not require completing unsafe tasks before calling for help.
