Crash Report Form-01‐2704A R11- What is it?

Private citizens in Arizona are not required to file a crash report, however, a police officer that responds to the scene of an auto accident is required to fill one out if:

  • The accident resulted in death
  • The accident resulted in injuries
  • Vehicle damage or property damage exceeded $1,000
  • If a citation was issued

You must remain at the scene of the accident until law enforcement arrives. After you’ve spoken to the responding police officer, you will be cleared to leave. During this time, the police officer will ask you a series of questions regarding the events that led up to the accident and will obtain your personal information. All of this information will be documented in the accident report.

If you were involved in an auto accident and it meets the conditions mentioned above, a police officer must fill out an accident report. In most cases, they will be required to complete the form within twenty-four hours.

The crash report will contain the following information regarding traffic collisions:

  • Date and time of the accident
  • Location of the accident
  • Property damage descriptions

Identifying information regarding all of the parties involved including witnesses, such as:

  • Proof of insurance
  • Vehicle ownership and registration
  • Phone number, address, and full names of all parties involved

The form will also include a narrative description concerning the facts surrounding the accident, as well as a simple diagram of the accident scene, the police officer’s name, identification number, and police agency.
