Pick an answer to test yourself.
Correct answer
Move the victim only if there is a risk of fire or further injury.
Official explanation
Never move an injured person at the scene of a collision unless there is a risk of fire or further injury. Moving an injured person could add to their injuries. Trained personnel know best how to attend to injured persons. Call the emergency services (on 999 or 112) or make sure that someone else has called them.
