Definition

A "Reportable" crash either originates or terminates on a traffic way, which involves at least one motor vehicle in transport, and results in any of the following:

  1. Injury or fatality of a person
  2. Total damage to one person's property to an apparent extent of $1000 or more
  3. Damage to government-owned property to an apparent extent of $200 or more, except government-owned vehicles, which are $1000.

Reportable Crash Report Requests

"Reportable" Crash Reports are available online through the Wisconsin Department of Transportation. Reports may not be available until 10 days AFTER the date of crash. If you were involved in a crash which was documented by the University Police Department, electronic crash reports can be obtained using the above button or going to https://crashreports.wi.gov/ .  Printed reportable crash reports are made to those reporting in person to the University Police Department for pickup.

"Non-Reportable" accidents are available at the University Police Department, as they are not made available by the State of Wisconsin for purchase. A release will be required and University Police will provide printed copies of non-reportable and reportable crash reports to those reporting in person to the University Police Department for pickup only.
