A witness not necessarily be a Eye Witness.
Therefore, a person helping accident victim is required to be a witness for the matters within his knowledge.
It is incorrect apprehension in the mind of people that being a witness is a harassment by police. In such cases, police will simply record the statement of such a person as per his / her say and he will be summoned to depose in the Court as and when matter is taken-up by Court for recording of evidence of witnesses.
