You are a car accident participant. Which of the listed pieces of information should you give when calling the emergency number?
aThe place of the accident, the number and the condition of casualties.
bOnly the number of vehicles taking part in the accident.
cOnly the number of casualties.
Why?
The exact location helps rescuers reach the accident, while the number and condition of casualties help determine what assistance is needed. The number of vehicles or casualties alone is insufficient to assess the situation. Answer the operator’s questions and do not hang up until instructed.
