What happens if the police attend a collision?
The nature and seriousness of the collision will determine the level of police involvement. If the police attend the scene it does not guarantee that a formal police report will be made. It may not be necessary for an official record to be created. The police may attend to protect the scene of a collision and make sure no further collisions occur. They will ensure that anyone injured gets prompt treatment and assist the flow of traffic. Police may also arrange for the recovery of vehicles where appropriate.
