Emergencies & HazardsQuestion 92 of 120
You are the first vehicle at the scene of a crash on a rural highway. What is the correct order of priorities?

b.Move all injured people off the roadway immediately, then call for help
c.Take photographs first for the insurance claim
d.Leave the scene to find a phone with better signal
Explanation
Preventing a second collision protects both you and the people already involved, and emergency services are needed before hands-on care. Moving injured people risks worsening spinal injuries unless fire or another danger is present, and photographs or leaving the scene delay the response.
