We get CPR training at work - and the "best CPR practices" seem to change about every other year.
Pretty confusing. I've never had the same instructions twice ...
Our (mandatory !) first aid kit in a car is pretty useless for severe accidents.
The most useful is the tourniquet ... which I hear you're no longer supposed to use (pressing down on wounds instead).
If you're not trained in emergency medical aid, don't try to provide it as you can't.
Call professional help ASAP and signal / secure the crash site as best as you can.
Moving driver and passengers will likely increase their injuries, so unless a car is on fire or sinking, or they face any other immediate certainty of dying, leave them where they are.
