risk of being crashed into by other
drivers.
• Indicate that an accident has
occurred by placing the emergency
triangle (if equipped) in a well
visible position and at the prescribed
distance.
• Call the emergency services,
providing as much information as
possible. On the motor way, use the
special call boxes.
• Remove the ignition key (if present)
from the vehicles involved.

can be smelled, do not smoke and
ask people around you to put their
cigarettes out.
• To extinguish fires, even small ones,
use a fire extinguisher, blankets, sand
or earth. Never use water.
In an Emergency
• In multiple accidents occurred on
motorways, particularly where
visibility is poor, there is a high risk of
being involved in other collisions.
Leave the vehicle immediately and
move away from the area.

In case of Injured Persons

• Never leave the injured person alone.
Persons not directly involved in the
accident are also required to give

to assist them to avoid possible panic
attacks.

restraining the injured persons.
