    Report a Motor Vehicle Crash to PennDOT (Police Only)

    PennDOT gives police the newest tools to finish crash reports.

    Submit a Report Online

    Overview

    Police can use these forms to report crashes more easily.

    Crash Information Sheet: The Police Crash Information Sheet (DOC) helps police fill in all the needed details for a crash report. While it doesn't replace online submissions, it's a useful tool.

    Driver's Accident Report Form: The AA600 Driver Report Form (PDF) helps helps gather info for accident prevention programs. PennDOT only collects AA600 forms from drivers in crashes.

    1. PennDot's Crash Reporting System: Official can submit crash reports using PennDOT's website. To submit, you must have a username and password. Each police agency should have at least one person who can set up an account on the website.
