If you come up on an accident scene, unless the vehicle is on fire, NEVER move a victim in the vehicle no matter what. Hidden injuries to the cervical area could be made more extensive causing paralysis or death. Many people mistake a vehicle being on fire due to antifreeze leaking or the powders and and gasses expelled from the air bag deployment.
