The incident occured on my exit slip road, I had to drive slowly round several askew cars, a mangled bike, several standing people and a body(!) to get where I was going.
In any case, there is a judgement to make between interfering 'rubber-necking' and whether you may be able to help, including as a witness.
In this incident, I quickly established that the best thing to do was to drive on by, though this might have been different if I'd got there a couple of minutes earlier.

If no-body was working on the casualty, then I would have stopped, regardless of how many were standing around, its amazing how a bit of first aid knowledge can keep someone alive, keeping the airway open for example.

"It's known as compassion, Mapmaker."
Quite right, not a Christian but isn't there a parable about the Samaritan who didn't pass by the other way A parable for the modern age if ever there was one.
