Explanation
In the photo you can see a car that has hit a tree next to a street with its front: a crushed bonnet, a bumper torn off, debris all around. A person involved in an accident in which people are injured must give the necessary help to the victims and call an emergency medical team and the police - answer C. Removing the vehicle from the road (A) and collecting parts from the roadway (B) are actually prohibited when there are injured people, because they make it harder to establish how the accident happened.
The Road Traffic Act requires a driver involved in an accident in which someone is killed or injured to give the necessary help to the victims of the accident, call an emergency medical team and the police, not take any action that could make it harder to establish how the accident happened, and remain at the scene. The obligation to remove the vehicle without delay applies only to accidents with no one killed or injured. You call 112, give the location, the number of injured people and their condition, and then follow the dispatcher's instructions; you secure the scene with the warning triangle and the hazard warning lights, but you do not move the cars.
