Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, until the police arrive.
Yes. If someone is seriously injured and you are involved, you must notify the police and stay until they arrive. You may leave earlier only with their permission, to help an injured person, or to receive medical care. It makes no difference whether you are uninjured.
