Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Anyone who witnesses or is involved in a traffic accident has a legal and moral obligation to provide assistance. Necessary measures must be taken to attend to the victims, provided there is no risk to oneself or third parties. However, if help is already organized by emergency services, it is not mandatory to stop. In that case, you must continue driving to avoid obstructing traffic or causing new accidents.
