If you're involved in a car accident in which there are fatalities, are you obliged to remain on the scene of the accident after the ambulance service had been called?

Description
Art. 44 para. 2 pt. 3 of the Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137)
Explanation
Correct answer: Yes
According to Art. 44 para. 2 of the Road Traffic Act, in the event of an accident with casualties (fatalities or injuries), the driver is obliged to remain at the scene of the incident. Leaving the scene is exceptionally permissible, for example, to call for help, after which one must return immediately. Unauthorised departure from the scene of such an accident is treated as fleeing and constitutes a criminal offence.
