Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Anyone who is involved in an accident, witnesses it or learns of it is required to assist or to request assistance for the victims (General Traffic Regulations, Article 129(1)), and in particular to seek medical assistance, under Article 129(2)(d). That is why what is mandatory is to alert the emergency services (112), giving the exact location and the condition of the victims. Clearing the roadway by changing the position of vehicles and debris is not an obligation: if there are dead or seriously injured people or the authority has been notified, the user involved must avoid altering the state of things and the evidence, unless the safety of the injured or of traffic is jeopardized, under Article 129(2)(c). Transporting the injured to a hospital in any vehicle is not mandatory either, and improper handling can aggravate spinal or serious internal injuries.
