If you find yourself the witness of an accident, here are six key tips to keep in mind. The following are the steps you should take when you see a vehicle collision:

- If you're the first person at a vehicle crash, pull completely off the road, preferably 100 feet or more away from the collision. Turn on your emergency flashers. Emergency personnel have to be able to see the collision and stop next to it for easy access.

- Check to see if anyone is injured. Keep your distance from the vehicle, however, and don't touch any of the people in the accident. At this point you are just trying to assess what happened.

- Call 9-1-1. If another person stops to help, ask that person to call 9-1-1. The person calling 9-1-1 must be ready to answer questions and provide as much information as they can, such as the location of the emergency (cross streets, freeway on/off ramp information) and how many people need help (is anyone bleeding, unconscious, or without a pulse?).

- Help anyone who is not already walking around and talking. Do not move an injured person unless he or she is in a burning vehicle or in other danger. Moving someone incorrectly often makes an injury worse.

- If possible, assist the driver of the wrecked vehicle in moving the car out of the traffic lane. Do not drive the vehicle yourself unless instructed to do so by a police officer or emergency worker.

- If you happen to have a camera on you, you will be doing the drivers of the accident a service by taking a few pictures. Be prepared to hand these over to law enforcement or the drivers themselves.

Nice one

911 no dey work for here oooo. For here na GSM number them dey ask us to call.

For here also, no one will dare to help because of the frame up by police. Nigerians are more interested in taking pictures for social media purposes than help the victim.

Except for Osun state that has a 122 emergency number that I know of clearly, many other states foolishly expect you to call a standard 11-digit GSM number during an emergency.

And lagos state with 767.
But lets face it, The security of Nigeria is 0 (Zero like 0 in 0rex),
If u help, u are prime suspect, if u don't help, ur heart fell burdened (for those who have a hearth and for those u have a faint hearth and cant withstand accident scenes)
I can remember alot of accident scenes i have seen, some, right before my eyes and few even involved me myself. I can still remembered one vividly that took lives, The perpetrator car, ran away, A Hummer bus involved and damaged to unrecognizable bcoz it hit a luxurious bus, (Not his faulth, but d car that ran away. Police got there and instead of trying to rescue people, they went ahead trying to arrest the luxurious bus driver. I took another bus and left the scene, as i couldn't stand the police a d the accident scene anymore. With all these happening, Nigerians are always being careful, trying to mind their bizz, so they don't get into trouble while helping. That isn't who we are. Government just need to rehabilitate, reform, reshuffle, reorganiz, bla bla bla, all those who respond to emergency, be it police, paramedics, road safety, call centre etc
