Wayne County Sheriff’s Office

 

Accident Reporting      

 

 

          When involved in a motor vehicle accident, call 9-1-1 to report the accident and request the assistance of law enforcement and other emergency services as needed. You will be asked to provide the dispatcher with your location, the extent of any injuries, and the number of vehicles involved.

 

 

            Each driver involved is required to complete the Driver’s Motor Vehicle Accident Report form for the Nebraska Department of Roads, Highway Safety Division, within ten days following the accident if the damage exceeds $500.00 or personal injury occurred. The report forms are available at any Nebraska law enforcement agency.

 

            When the officer’s report is completed with ten days of the accident, a copy of the accident report for insurance purposes is available. A copy of the general two-page report will cost $2.00; any additional pages (i.e., supplemental report forms, photos) will cost $1.00 per page.
