We all pray not to be involve in a road accident, but sometimes there are some safety tips we need to know peradventure we got involved in a road accident.
Lagos Response Unit (LRU) tells us the rightly steps to take when we are involved in a road accident.
First check yourself for any injuries.
Check other person(s) for injuries: Perform a quick assessment of the situation & see who needs the most help.
Look for signs of breathing: check if the person is breathing and if he/she has a pulse.
Call for help: Immediately dial 112 (Lagos State Emergency helpline) for an ambulance
Check 4 obstructions in the person’s mouth and throat: If u do not hear any breath sounds, check for any obstructions & clear the airway.
Put the patient in recovery position: If there is bleeding from the mouth or vomiting, turn the person to his side.
Deal with open wounds: apply pressure to the area using a cloth with your palms.
Always suspect spinal injuries: If the person’s neck is in an awkward position, do not move the patient. Get help immediately.
Avoid feeding the person: Do not give the person any fluids or food through the mouth to avoid choking.

Good to know
Tanks for dis

Hmm.. Good post. The truth is that all these stuffs you mentioned are not very applicable in 9ja cos if they were applicable death rate would hv been reduced during accidents. Is either you were neglected or they use you as headlines to make money or some will snap selfie and quickly upload it one whatsapp, instagram, facebook etc. I no blame them shaa; naa network providers wey reduce subscription to 1k i dey blame. I wonder why some persons are so mentally derailed. But Gods grace be upon us IJN.
Accidents are not a good thing,would you even remember any of this if involved???
