Specific Information Regarding Traffic Accident Reports

Most generally citizens will use this report system for private property accidents, such as on parking lots or privately owned lands, where a Officer could not respond right away at the time and the parties involved had to leave the scene after they exchanged their personal information and insurance information and needing a report for their insurance company.

Beware under Ohio Revised Code Traffic Laws it is unlawful not to stop after you knowingly hit another vehicle or property belonging to another person. You are required to stop immediately at the scene and exchange information (i.e. name, address, phone number, insurance name and policy number). If the other vehicle was unattended or the property was not at home the law says you must attached a written note with your information on it and attached it to the other vehicle, usually underneath the wiper blade or leave at the property owners residence.

Upon submitting your Accident Report a Officer will be contacting you to go over the report and will require you to submit or bring in your auto insurance information. The Officer will also determine if this accident needs to be reported to the Ohio BMV and if so the Officer will transfer your information onto an Ohio Traffic Crash Report to send to the Ohio BMV.
