Explanation
When approaching a crash scene, maintain focus on driving and keep moving unless you are directly involved. The rationale is to prevent additional hazards and maintain traffic flow. However, if you find yourself part of the crash, do not drive away. If you are involved in a collision with a parked vehicle, you must try and locate the owner. If any person is injured or killed, the police must be notified, and you must help secure medical aid for the injured.
