The operation of removing the injured persons from the motor vehicle must be carried out in such a way as not to worsen the existing injuries. In some cases, if these procedures are carried out quickly, the risk of worsening the existing injuries or causing other injuries increases.
In the case of an accident resulting in injured persons inside the motor vehicle, when removing them from the motor vehicle, you must take into account that the injuries should not be aggravated. If the victims are not blocked, they will be removed from the motor vehicle by lifting; if the victims are blocked by parts of the motor vehicle, they will be left in the car without being moved until the extrication teams arrive.
It is prohibited to remove the traces which could help explain how the accident occurred, but if rescuing the victims requires it, you may remove these traces, but when the officers investigating the case arrive, you will declare to them what exactly was removed.
The correct answer is: B
The situation is not regulated by legal articles. It depends on the basics and principles of preventive conduct.
