Under normal circumstances, I would stop and help! I have the training and experience to know what to do (and more importantly what NOT to do). Many times injuries are made more severe by people "helping" and not knowing the correct things to do!
There are times and places where I would not stop. If the incident was on the opposite lanes of a divided highway, and there was a lot of traffic, I would not stop because there is no safe way to get to the victims! I will do no one any good by getting hit myself! In such a case I would use my cell phone to call 911, and make sure that they had an accurate location for the incident!
I also would not stop if I knew that Fire / Rescue was going to be on the scene within the next minute. I want them to have the room they need and my stopping could block the apparatus!

I would stop, being careful not to cause more problems by stopping in an unsafe way, but yes I know I would want to try to help if possible. I would at least be able to call for help. And I would like to think someone would stop and help me :-)

I have before, and would again, stop to help. Not a medical professional, but I am CLS certified, as well as first aid trained. I could possibly be the deciding factor of them living or dying. Of course I will stop (unless I am in a life or death situation myself.)

To be honest...
If the wreck looked like everyone had perished, I would call and report it, but I would not risk the chance of seeing someone, dead or dying.
However anything other than that yes, I would stop.

I would definitely stop and try to help them in any way I can, starting with calling 911, and doing whatever it's necessary to save their lives.

I'd stop and do what I could, if nothing more than using a cell phone to call for help.

A normal person would stop and try to help.
