I would call 9-11 because many people would sue you if you rescued them say like you broke their arm to get them out of the car.
Paramedics pay insurance so people can't sue them

See how many people are involved and then ring an ambulance. Ambulance and paramedics can help the most when they know what they are dealing with and how many ambulances to see. Then see if I need to ring police (to stop traffic flow) etc. then go see if I can help anyone!
It sounds so harsh but you can only help one person at a time but imagine if you didn't make that call and another three cars drove into the original car crash? |

I was... saw this girl flip her car 5 times barrel roll style.
I am an EMT so here's what is supposed to happen:
... if you are a first responder call 911.
1. Pull over and make sure scene is safe... so no leaking liquids, sparks, metal that you can injure yourself on.
2. Assess patient condition... were they wearing a seat belt... conscious... bleeding open wounds, broken limbs.
3. Address victim... talk to them and assess their mental state.
4. Stabilize patient as they are not supposed to move... usually from the back seat holding their head up and straight forward...
5. Keep patient aware of what is going on and wait for help to arrive.
Here is what happened:
I see the girl from about 6 car lengths back going about 40 mph... she veered left into someone elses lane and hit them a little bit and oversteered right and off of the road over a curb blowing out her tires probably. ... she then tried to regain control of the car on the grass as she was headed for a parking lot not more than 20 feet away. Her wheels got caught in the dirt as she angled her car back towards the roadway... (Not the best decision btw... stable objects always better than moving ones.) As the wheels caught they created deep pits in the grass which then flipped the car over its side about 5-6 complete rolls. when on the side of the last roll the car hit a metal pole for a store sign, stopped vertically and then fell down back towards the direction that it came from.
I was pulling over as it was still rolling. I pull to the shoulder, put my hazards on and realize as I step out of the car, the girl is already out of her car running full sprint towards me, she traveled about 80 ft... in the time it took me to put my car in park and step out.
She kept begging me for my phone, she was in shock. I had to follow protocol. This is what you do in this situation:
Of course again call 911, I did this while stopping.
1. Inform the motorist that they have been in a car accident. That they need to sit down on the curb and move their head as little as possible. ( I did this and she kept ranting) I said please hold onone moment I will give you my phone.
2. Give her the phone (not an actual step, but it was necessary to get her to sit down.
3. Kneel behind the patient and hold their head still. (she wouldn't let me and it is strictly under patient approval to accept care...
4. Wait for emergency medical personnel.
She called her mother and that is when she broke out of the shock and adrenaline... she wouldn't keep her head still... you can't really do anything at this point... Some people came out of a nearby restaurant. you have to just tell them to give her some room, cause shock is still there, just not she's totally overwhelmed and the last thing she needs is someone patting on her back. EMTs showed up and I gave them my information and what I did. They said thanks and I left. Simple enough. She did alright, not too much harm, was wearing a seat belt.... a few bruised ribs and a sprained wrist.
Crazy to actually kick into that robotic crisis managament mode though. I love it. |

been there done that

A drunk driver crossed the centre line and hit another car head on in front of my house. I went out to see if I could help either driver. He (drunk) had fallen out of his car and was away from the vehicles. She was trapped in her vehicle and was unconscious. There was no danger of fire and I couldn't get her out (pinned) I called 911 on my cell and made sure he wasn't going into shock. I then directed traffic around the wrecks until the police arrived. I continued to detour traffic (at the corner) away from the scene until the police and emergency crews cleared the mess. (3 hours) He was charged and eventually went to jail. She unfortunately passed away from her injuries. Sometimes you do what you can and it never seems enough. |

Call 911.
If there's an immediate threat, like a car on fire, help get the people out of the car. If there's no immediate threat you are best off leaving the people where they are and waiting for the professionals. If someone is badly hurt but they've already gotten themselves out of the car, get them to lay down and not move. If they're bleeding, try to stop the bleeding by applying pressure. If they're not breathing, start CPR.
You can't sue a good Samaritan. OK, technically you can sue anyone for any reason, they can't win because of the good Samaritan law. |

Stop and turn on my four way flashers and then check on the passengers in the involved cars to see if there are any injuries. If no one is seriously injured I would leave them alone and try to encourage them to stay with their vehicle.
While doing this I would see if anyone has a cell phone to call 911 with. I do not carry a cell phone.
I carry flares in my car - I would set them out.
If someone were seriously injured I would try to help them. I do have a first aid course but I am not qualified to perform medical miracles. Unless the vehicles are on fire or in imminent danger the wounded stay where they are until qualified personnel show up.
That's when I step away and wait for the Police to take my statement. If my further assistance is required I will offer it but only if asked. |

First I would call 911, observe the scenery around me for dangers, then check on those who are injured. Best to leave them in the position they are in unless in immediate danger such as fire, etc. The other person said they can sue if you injure them from moving them, which has a good possibility of happening. If someone is mobile and gets up, I would tell them to not move. |

Call 911 on a cell phone. |

1: Scene Safety-
- Fire?
- Hazardous Materials? ID number (placard)?
- Crime?
- Safe place to park?
- Visibility to traffic (i.e. high visibility vest)?
If there's something dangerous- LEAVE and call 911 from a SAFE distance, preferably up-hill AND up-wind!! If you can safely read the ID number on the hazard placard- this will help ID the material being carried. If the scene becomes unsafe after you stop- LEAVE. Remember- you're of no help to anyone if you become injured, in fact you become another drain on already limited resources. Also make sure all involved cars are in park, turned off, and if they're on their wheels- parking brake set so they don't move. If they're in another position (i.e. upside-down, side, perched on something, etc) you'll have to make a judgement call about if it's safe to approach.
2: Check for injuries- you're primarily doing a head count at this time so the dispatcher knows what to send.
3: Notify 911 if not already done- yourself or someone else. If you have someone else call 911 point at them so it's clear who you're speaking to and say "You, call 911, tell them ______ and come back and tell me when you're done." so that you know it's been done.
4: Protect the scene as much as possible to prevent secondary crashes & protect rescuers. Do this as step 2 if needed. NOTE: Do NOT use flares if there is any flammable or unknown material leaking.
5: If first aid is required do only what you are trained and equipped to do. Do NOT move injured people unless there is a serious danger.
6: Wait for help and tell them what has been done. Confirm that they are finished with you as they may want to try and gather more info.
As an EMT in a rural area I carry-
- ANSI 107 rated high-visibility jacket
- BLS jump kit (basicly an advanced profesional level first aid kit)
- Flares & warning triangles
- 10lbs Fire extinguisher
- Sturdy work gloves & glasses/goggles

Call 911 immediately and tell them where the crash is and how many cars were involved and maybe an estimate of how many people are injured. Don't move anyone that may have broken bones or severe injuries. Although you may want to help someone don't do so without their consent as you may hurt them further. I would say that it is safe to help those out of the cars that are on fire or smoking a lot. Also assist those who maybe just a little scratched up with consent though. Hope I helped! |
