The answer

Assisting a road accident victim is permissible and encouraged, with Islamic legal stipulations, and may become obligatory if it is incumbent upon them. They should contact medical authorities. It is permissible to give him water or a mobile phone, and it may be obligatory to rescue him from perdition. It is permissible to treat him if they are knowledgeable in medicine, even if it requires touching him out of necessity, following the example of the female Companions during battles.
