What should I do at the scene of the accident?
You should stop immediately it is safe to do so, and place your accident warning triangle at a distance sufficient to allow oncoming traffic to take avoiding action.
Call the Police. Generally speaking it is the law in most countries that the Police must attend any accident involving a foreign vehicle. However, if you have insufficient command of the local language to do so, you will normally find that the other party will call them, if only to overcome the language problem.
