Welcome to the
Colorado state law requires that ALL motor vehicle accidents be reported immediately to the proper law enforcement authorities (42-4-1606 CRS). A traffic accident is defined as unintentional damage or injury caused by the movement of a vehicle or its load. By choosing to report the accident online or by downloading and mailing your report to the State of Colorado Motor Vehicle Division there will NOT be an official police report. No tickets will be issued to any of the drivers involved in the accident. If you have questions about this, contact the law enforcement agency that referred you to the State of Colorado Online Accident Report.
To file a report using the State of Colorado Online Accident Report, the accident must meet each of the following criteria:
· No fatality or injury requiring medical attention was sustained by any person(s) involved in the accident, and;
· The accident is not an alleged hit and run or it is an alleged hit and run, and there is no information on the other driver involved in the accident, and;
· The accident does not involve damage to any public property other than wildlife, and:
· No drivers involved in the accident are suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or have insurance or driver's license violations.
If the accident does not meet ALL of these above criteria, do not complete this report, and contact the law enforcement agency in whose jurisdiction the accident occurred for additional reporting instructions.
