Safety Tips
If you are involved in a car crash, move your vehicle safely from the roadway if possible and call police for assistance. Be sure to tell the dispatcher if you suspect there might be injuries to anyone present. Failure to remain at the scene of a collision or refusing to provide identifying information to other drivers can be a crime with severe penalties.

If you have had a collision which was not reported to police, you can complete the Washington State Patrol's Collision Form.
