Accident Register

Motor carriers whose vehicles have been in an accident in the last 365 days must provide an accident register.

 

All carriers involved in an FMCSA-reportable crash in the past year must retain an Accident Register or report. A reportable crash is one in which a vehicle was towed from the scene, or an injury or fatality occurred. Records must be kept for three years.

 

The report needs to include:


  • Date of accident
  • City or town, or most near, where the accident occurred and the State where the accident occurred
  • Driver name
  • Number of injuries
  • Number of fatalities
  • Whether hazardous materials, other than fuel spilled from the fuel tanks of motor vehicle involved in the accident, were released
