Correct answer
Protect the scene without exposing yourself, call 112 and assist safely.
Protect, alert and assist: stop without creating danger, assess safety, call 112 and help according to your training and the instructions received. Do not expose yourself to traffic. This is a general approach, not a reason to delay a life-saving action: calling for help and assisting can be coordinated simultaneously. If someone is unresponsive and not breathing normally, seek urgent help and begin CPR following the 112 dispatcher.
