If the person got up and walked away I'm not sure what damage you'd be doing by reasonably removing your car from blocking others while waiting for police.

It can be not known to some, but it's not uncommon for person with serious injures to walk and run in the first monents after accident. Injuries can sometimes be hidden.

So "walk away" cannot be a legal criteria for decision to move the car or not. There can be some very serious consequences for the "but I did not know" in case of the following collapse or any other damage.
