Get help with your crash report

Official California collision reports are generally not available for 7–14 days after a crash, and they are filed by incident number with whichever agency responded. If you are not sure which office holds your report, or you cannot find your crash on this site, tell us what happened and we can help you track it down.

You do not need to know your incident number. The date and a rough location are usually enough.
