In the event of a traffic accident with injuries, what is the correct general guideline for behavior?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The general rule for first aid (based on the PAS procedure: Protect, Alert, Succor) dictates that you must never move injured people or try to remove them from the vehicle unless there is an imminent danger of death (such as fire or risk of the vehicle falling), as this could aggravate irreversible spinal injuries. The correct action is to call 112 immediately. Furthermore, you must never offer them food or drink (not even water or painkillers), as this could cause choking or serious complications if they require urgent surgery and anesthesia. You should try to calm them down and cover them to prevent body heat loss.
