  3. Inform the police and the insurance company.
  4. Correct answer: Stop immediately, and make sure that the falling freight is cleared away immediately.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Stop immediately, and make sure that the falling freight is cleared away immediately.

Freight that falls onto the road is a dangerous obstacle for everyone using it. The driver who was carrying it is responsible for it, so he must stop immediately and make sure it is cleared away at once. He cannot shift this duty to the municipality, the Public Works Department or the insurance company, or simply wait for others to arrive.
