Stop your car and find out if anyone is injured.
Call the police or highway patrol. Tell them the exact location. Tell them how many people were hurt and the types of injuries. The police will notify the nearest medical unit.
Cover injured people with a blanket to keep them warm. (This is done to help if they are cold, but it is more often done to comfort them since they are probably in some level of shock.)
Try to protect the accident scene. Take reasonable steps to protect the car from further damage, such as setting up flares, getting the car off the road and calling a tow truck. (Flares…who has flares?! You should carry a couple of flares in your trunk for emergencies... next to your battery cables, flashlight, and first aid kit. You can get these items at any auto parts store.)
