Knowing the following
pointers on what to do
about car accidents may
save someone's life. Maybe
youn.
The most important
thinap to remember when a
serious accident occun are
don't panic, think what
needs to be done in logical
order and don't try to be a
hero.
If you are the tint to
arrive at the scene of a bad
accident, don't park behind
the wreck or on the opposite side of the road. Pull
safely off the road several
yards beyond the accident
and turn on your flaihert. If
it's safe, reduce the chance
of fire by turning off the
ignitions of the wrecked
can.
Check to tee if anyone ii
not breathing and look for
severe bleeding. Ask the injured where they hurt. But
don't move the victims unleaa absolutely necessary—
moving could be fatal to
them. An exception would
be if the car is burning or
there is some other immediate danger. Call for help,
and search the area for
victim* who might have
been thrown from the can.
If breathing has stopped,
trained personnel should immediately give mouth-tomouth resuscitation.
To stop bleeding press
directly against the wound
with a clean cloth. Keep the
pressure on till the bleeding
stops. Don't apply a tourniquet unless it's absolutely
necessary—it could lead to
loss of a limb.
