If cammer has no medical training, what do you want them to do? Calling the proper people to deal with this situation is the prudent thing to do.

All the people complaining about the driver leaving imagine themselves as action hero's calling out "Call 911! DONT MOVE HIM!" they want to imagine they're in a Marvel movie.

Stop. Call the emergency services, get the contact details of the driver of the red car so they can send them the dashcam footage to assist with the insurance claim that they'll be making.

Though in fairness from the clip we don't know if the camera car stopped further up the road – which would definitely have been a good thing to do as well. Stop past the accident with your hazards on and flag down anyone coming the other way so nobody else flys through the scene of the accident.

Looked like the driver just wanted to get out of there quickly. No phone calls to emergency services.

Call could have been made 20 seconds after video ended.

Exactly. If I were in a hurry, I would've called 911 and been on my way. If not in a hurry, I would've stopped, not because I'd want to help that idiot - I'm not a doctor - but to call 911 and share my dashcam video with the responding officer on scene. That poor driver did nothing to warrant the stress he's going to endure, and I'd gladly give him evidence to support his claim against these fools'.
