The right thing to do if you witness a road accident

You would be surprised at just how many people would rather walk away from a road accident scene than lend a helping hand to those that have suffered serious personal injuries. Many people die every year from head injuries and chest injuries as a result of car crashes and other road traffic accidents. By doing something as simple as calling the emergency services you could save lives.

On arriving at an accident scene you should check around and see if there are any personal injuries that need immediate attention. Once you have assessed the situation call the emergency services and inform them of the following:

• Where you are (use road names and landmarks to help you)
• What has happened (describe the road accident)
• How many people are injured
• Whether the injured parties are breathing or bleeding

The operator will then talk you through what to do while you wait for the ambulance to arrive.
