FRANKFORT, Ky. (Oct. 3, 2019) – The Kentucky State Police is now making traffic collision reporting easier through an online form. Funded through the Kentucky Office of Highway Safety, the Civilian Traffic Collision Report can be accessed from an online submission tool.
Kentucky law requires that any person involved in an accident resulting in property damage in excess of five hundred dollars, file a written report of the accident with the Kentucky State Police within 10 days of the accident. These forms only need to be completed when an investigation is not conducted by a law enforcement officer.
Kentucky State Police Public Affairs Branch, Trooper Robert Purdy says this is an incredibly useful tool that allows drivers involved in minor collisions to easily fulfill the collision reporting requirements.
“Replacing the paper civilian traffic collision reporting form to this online platform is a must in today’s digital age” said Trooper Purdy.
Individuals can visit the KSP website to submit their report and download a free copy upon completion. Paper forms of the civilian traffic collision report will be accepted through June 30, 2020.
