Accident Reports

Provides preliminary information regarding the parties involved in an accident, the vehicle involved, insurance information, along with a brief summary of the accident. It is for informational purposes only and isn't considered an official accident report.

Accident Information Summaries are available to any parties involved in the accident via the DESPP website for 30 days from the accident date. This report is provided free of charge. Some information may be restricted and if this is the case, you may visit the State Police Troop in the area the accident occurred for a copy of the Accident Information Summary.

There are four ways to request a completed case report as outlined below. Remember that it can take up to 10 business days after an accident for the report to be completed and available:

• If you need a completed case report, you can request it for a non-refundable search fee of $16 by visiting BuyCrash.com 10 business days after the accident. There may be additional fees charged by the third-party vendor.
• For accidents that aren't available online within 30 days of the accident's date (as well as other investigative reports), you can request a report electronically here.
