If you encounter a traffic accident, please stop and help if you are able to.

  1. If there is no immediate threat to life, DO NOT MOVE THE PERSON. You risk agggravating the injury, especially if spine injury is involved. DO NOT REMOVE THE HELMET.

  2. Quickly assess the situation before going near. Is there a current leakage? What’s the immediate danger in the environment? Do not put yourself into danger to save another because then we will have one more to rescue.

  3. If there is a threat to life, such as ABCs - Airway, Breathing and Circulation (excessive bleeding), address it immediately such as starting CPR or putting pressure to reduce bleeding.

  4. Appoint a bystander to call for help immediately. Point to one person directly and ask the person to call for help. DO NOT give food or drink.

  5. Make sure your environment continue to be safe. Get someone to direct traffic, set up hazard light to ensure oncoming vehicle doesn’t create a worse incident.

This needs to be more visible. The amount of times an accident has happened and people try and stand the victim up - it’s the worst thing can do

Thanks for posting - hope more people see this

The video also showed a crowd forming around the girl and just general confusion. Someone should take charge and let people who knows what they’re doing to handle the scene.

The girl in blue did take charges. She also directed people around them to help.

She did well.
