How can I get a copy of a traffic accident report?
|
| Answer/Pointer: |
This information on ordering accident reports comes from the Florida Highway Patrol Web site (http://www.fhp.state.fl.us/html/fhpfaqsa.html#crash). There is a link from that Web site to local district offices in the state.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Crash reports may be obtained from the local Florida Highway Patrol Station that is closest to where the crash occurred. Crash reports are kept in the local districts for 2 years from the date of crash. Homicide reports are kept in the local districts for 5 years from the date of crash.
To order a crash report ($2.00) older than 2 years, call (850) 488-5017.
To order a traffic homicide report ($25.00) older than 5 years, call (850) 488-1009.
To order traffic homicide photographs, call (850) 488-5984.
Photographs are $1.00 for 5"x7" or $1.50 for 8"x10".
NOTE: When requesting photographs, have at least two of the following pieces of information available when you place your
request:
Date of Crash
County of Crash
Name of Fatality Victim
Traffic Homicide Case Number
