Question 1 (1 point)

Saved

Listen

Terry caused a car crash in which the driver of the other car, Kelly, was severely injured. Mark witnessed the crash, but was otherwise not involved in the crash. Mark did not stop to provide assistance to Kelly. Because of Terry's driving and Mark's failure to provide assistance, Kelly died of his injuries. Mark's failure to provide assistance is likely to break the chain of causation between Terry's poor driving and Kelly's death.
