What Information is in a Crash Report?

In an accident report, you’ll find the following information:

  • Date and time of the occurrence
  • Contact information for all parties involved
  • License plate and VINs
  • Driver’s license numbers
  • Witness contact information
  • A diagram of the accident scene
  • Crash location
  • A description of personal injuries and/or property damage
  • Insurance information
  • A crash narrative that describes the events that led up to the accident and which party the responding law enforcement officer believes was responsible for the collision.

Why Can't I Locate My Crash Report?

If you are unable to locate your crash report from the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office, you can contact other local law enforcement agencies, including:

  • Carver County Sheriff’s Office
  • Grant County Sheriff’s Office
  • Dallas County Sheriff’s Office

How Can A Collision Report Help My Insurance Claim?

If you were involved in an accident that was not your fault, an accident report can help strengthen your claim. The crash narrative includes a written statement by the responding law enforcement officer that details how, when, and where the accident occurred and who the police officer believes was at fault. It also includes a description of injuries, vehicle damage, and property damage. In many cases, a crash report can be valuable to accident victims who plan to pursue compensation in an auto insurance claim since it contains the unbiased opinion of the police officer regarding who they believe was negligent.
