As you approach, a pedestrian is being dragged from underneath the car. Their leg is partially amputated below the knee and blood is gushing out at an alarming rate. The patient also has some lacerations to their face and arms. The scene is safe to approach, and the patient is in a semi-conscious state. Bystanders have already called 999.
