Stopping is really dependant on a lot of factor's.
What is traffic / area population like? If your on I-10 in Houston Metro area, don't stop. Avoid being involved in the accident itself, and use the cell to notify emergency assitance orginizations.
If you are on US287 south of Lyman CO..... stop beyond the accident itself, walk back to the scene to see if you can assist.
If you are carrying HAZ-MAT load..... you are rquired to continue on your journey. It is safer to pass it by, than to provide opportunity for something worse to happen.
Worst accident I have ever seen?
SB I-5 in Seattle, in a construction zone where there was no shoulder, car broke down mid-way thrpugh in the right lane....as I approached the car, I saw that it was stopped...so I moved from the right center lane, across to the far left lane...as I was set to pass the disabled car, the driver's door opens, a man climbs out of the car, he and the door were propeled down the roasd and against the jersey barrier by the pickup that hit him at speed. His wife and kids were sitting in the car. I was in a fuel tanker, carrying 11,500 gallons of gasoline..I kept moving, but called 911 on the truck phone. May 2000.
