If there is no fire, danger of explosion, or other hazards, injured people in a collision should be?

  1. Helped immediately

  2. Moved to the side of the road

  3. Treated on the spot

  4. Left where they are until medical help arrives

The correct answer is: Left where they are until medical help arrives

The correct answer is to leave injured individuals where they are until medical help arrives, provided there is no fire, danger of explosion, or other hazards. This approach prioritizes the safety and well-being of the injured. Moving individuals who may have sustained serious injuries, such as neck or spinal injuries, can lead to further damage. When they are left in their position, they are less likely to experience complications from improper handling, and medical professionals can assess them properly when they arrive. In scenarios without the aforementioned hazards, while the instinct to help may be strong, moving a person unnecessarily can complicate their injuries. It's essential to remain calm and provide reassurance while waiting for trained medical personnel, who are equipped to handle such situations safely and effectively.
