Have you been in a collision? Here's what you should do.
The Ontario Highway Traffic Act requires that all vehicle collisions that involve injuries or property damage valued at more than $5,000 must be reported to police as soon as possible.

If you’ve been involved in a minor vehicle collision in Windsor, you can report the incident at the Windsor Police Service’s Collision Reporting Centre (CRC). The CRC is your one-stop service to safely and conveniently file accident reports and insurance claims as well as document damage with photographs.

You can also start your report online through Report a Collision. Here, you can enter preliminary collision details before visiting the CRC to finalize your report. (The site provides a reference number, which you can share with the CRC staff to expedite the reporting process.)
