Call 911.

Don't hesitate. Make sure you have notified someone who can do something about the injuries. Even if you can do something, the 911 responders can likely do more.

The last of the first things you do is to investigate exactly how the accident happened. The police will straighten all that out.

If you have something to cover the person, that would be a good second thing to do. Don't move him or her. If there is blood involved, you can try and stop it, if it will not cause injury. Do this if there is a lot of blood and not just a small trickle.
