Question 5114

In a traffic accident in which you are involved...

  1. you must not try to remove the injured person until specialized help arrives.
  2. you must quickly remove the injured from the vehicles.
  3. if an injured person is unconscious, you must perform cardiac massage on them, even inside the vehicle.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: you must not try to remove the injured person until specialized help arrives.

Don't take the injured person out of the car, because you could make a spinal injury worse. Call 112 and wait for firefighters and medical personnel, who know how to free them. A fire or another immediate danger does justify taking them out sooner. In the image, the occupant is still inside the overturned passenger car.
