When should a collision be reported to the police and when should one attend a Collision Reporting Centre (CRC)?
In Toronto, the police should be notified of any collision in which people are injured, or damage is valued at more than $1,000 to vehicles or property, or there is damage to any highway property. All drivers involved in a collision should attend a CRC, without the need for police to be present at the site, unless any of the following conditions apply: • the collision involves injury or death; • there is criminal activity involved in the collisions (e.g., impaired driving, stolen vehicle, assault, etc.); • the collision involves Federal, Provincial or Municipal vehicles (including TTC); • the collision involves vehicles transporting dangerous goods; • the collision involves a person who is uninsured or is a suspended driver; • the collision involves damage to private, municipal or highway property; • the collision involves bicycles or pedestrians; • any of the involved parties refuses to provide required information.
