In a collision where someone is injured
MTO Driver’s Handbook: Safe and Responsible Driving, In a collision where someone is injured
Every driver involved in a collision must stay at the scene or return to it immediately and give all possible assistance. If you are not personally involved in a collision, you should stop to offer help if police or other officials have not arrived.
In a collision with injuries, possible fuel leaks or serious vehicle damage, stay calm and: call for help or have someone else call; turn off all engines and turn on emergency flashers; set up warning signals or flares, or have someone warn approaching drivers.
