If I witness a car accident, but...?

I don't know where you are but in Tennessee, you must "render aid to the best of your ability." Stay at the scene, call 911, and do as much as you can. If that is nothing but talking with the victim. You may be surprised how much impact another human voice has on a injured person.

Pull yourself together enough to call 911 and do whatever you can, but don't leave.

I think you should try. If you faint, you faint. But you could end up saving a life. At the very least, stay and keep traffic away from the victims, so the scene doesn't get worse.

you should always stay in case the police to ask you questions or verify what happened

Call 911 and wait for help to arrive.
If you try to help and don't know what you're doing, you may just cause more injuries / damage to the person.

Call 911 and give them your info, etc. But don't just ignore it if possible especially if it's more than a fender bender. Pull over and call an ambulence or wait for the police to come.

Calling for help would be your best bet. If you faint at the sight of blood what will you be able to do to help them. In fact you could just make things worse. Call 911 and let the professionals do their jobs. Calling 911 would be your way of helping. Otherwise see if you could muster up the strength to help if help didn't arrive quickly. It is a tough decision to make and only one that you can make when it actually happens. You never know what you are capable of doing until something of that magnitude happens. I hope this helps. Take care and have a good Thanksgiving.

foxy lady

my guess is you would faint and wouldnt be able to do anything because youd be out cold....so dont worry bout it everyones reactions are different when it actually happens so stop beating yourself up with wot if!

I live in Germany and i could be locked up if i did not stay or leave my name and address so yes call 911 and give your name location of accident and stay till help is there if you can do more that is good if not just stay...

aout

Call 911 and stay until the police gets there so that you can let them know what you saw. The operator will ask you a bunch of questions, answer them as best as possible and/or find someone who can answer.

The textbook answer is to get professional help before anything else. (911). Identify yourself and describe the situation as good as possible.
