The general rule is that a police officer may not force or compel you to submit to breath, blood or urine tests. However, an officer is required by law to take a specimen of your breath or blood if: There is a DWI arrest and an accident; The officer has a reasonable belief that any individual has died or will die as a result of the accident or another individual other than the person arrested has suffered serious bodily injury; and The individual arrested for DWI refused to give a specimen voluntarily.
