The Division of Highways will not identify persons or vehicles involved in accidents. Requests for such information must be made to the investigating police agency or to the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles. Single copies are available upon request from the Traffic Engineering Division. A variety of computer-generated reports which contain accident data by location, including circumstances, types and engineering data for accidents, are available. These do not contain driver or vehicle identifiers.
Computerized reports are available at no cost to public agencies.
If the request involves special, rather than standardized reports, the requestor will be charged for actual time expended plus the computer charges. Limitations on Use of Data Since the States' accident data are compiled and collected to support highway safety improvement programs and projects, their use may be restricted by the United States Code, Chapter 23, Section 409. Please note that 23 U.S.C. 409 bars the use of certain highway documents in litigation. Such documents are not subject to discovery and not admissible into evidence. Not only may the Department of Transportation prevent use of these documents, but any party to litigation may do so.
