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.
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.
Note:
By using this method to report an accident, you are filing the
report electronically with the Colorado State Patrol and not the
Glenwood Springs Police Dept. If you still wish that the
Glenwood Springs Police Dept. make the report, you must do so at the
front desk during normal business hours. |
