Collision Reporting Centre
Collision Reporting Centre Criteria
Collisions may be reported at the CRC so long as the following conditions are met:
- None of the involved drivers is suspected of being intoxicated;
- Large vehicles (i.e. buses and transport trailer units) so long as they are not carrying hazardous materials;
- The drivers are residents of Ontario;
- Drivers do not have to attend together, but must ensure they have exchanged all pertinent information prior to leaving the scene;
- Do NOT get your vehicle fixed prior to attending the CRC, as officers will need to view and photograph damage.
Towing and Storage:
You are free to
choose any towing company to remove your vehicle from the collision scene. You
are responsible for the fees associated with the towing, storage and
environmental clean-up and may be required to make immediate payment to your
Towing Vendor to have your vehicle released.
Attending the CRC:
You are required to
attend the Collision Reporting Centre by the next business day following
involvement in a motor vehicle collision for mandatory reporting. You must
attend with your vehicle, unless it had been previously towed directly to the
Collision Reporting Center (during business hours) or photographs of the damage
have already been obtained by the Windsor Police Service (after hours).
Failure to attend the
Collision Reporting Centre if directed by the Windsor Police Service may result
in enforcement action being taken.
What to bring with you when you go to the Collision Reporting Centre:
- The vehicle involved in the accident
- The case number given to you by the Windsor Police Communications Centre
- Driver's License
- Valid ownership of involved vehicle
- Proof of insurance for the involved vehicle, valid at the time of the collision
