Do Accident Victims Have Any Chances Of Surviving If They Get Cpr?

A seventeen-year old girl was knocked down by a speeding jeep and lay dead , no pulse, no breathing, when I arrived half an hour after the accident. I thought I saw her chest move just very lightly but when I tried to initiate cpr a hostile crowd of onlookers wondered if I couldnt recognize a dead person. Two female bye-standers said they felt the girl was breathing. Somebody later consoled me that the girl probably had severe internal injuries. Do accident victims have any chance of surviving if they get cpr?
