Don't see your city or county listed? The agency that responded to your crash still has your report — contact its records unit directly, or start with the state route above.

What's on your report, and why it matters

A standard crash report records the date, time, and location of the crash; the vehicles, drivers, and any passengers involved; a diagram of how the crash happened; any citations issued; and the officer's notes on contributing factors and fault. Insurers use this report as their starting point, so double-check that the facts, especially the fault narrative, are accurate before you rely on it.
