Guideline (MMUCC) (https://
www.mmucc.us); and
b. A guideline format for input of data
into a statewide traffic records system.
B. Crash investigation and incident
reporting. Each State should establish
procedures that require the reporting of
motor vehicle crashes and incidents to
the responsible State agency within a
reasonable time after the occurrence.
C. Driver reports.
1. In motor vehicle crashes involving
only property damage, and where the
motor vehicle can be safely driven away
from the scene, the drivers of the motor
vehicles involved should be required to
submit a written report consistent with
State reporting requirements, to the
responsible State agency. A motor
vehicle should be considered capable of
being normally and safely driven if it
does not require towing and can be
operated under its own power, in its
customary manner, without further
damage or hazard to itself, other traffic
elements, or the roadway. Each driver
report should include, at a minimum,
the following information relating to the
crash:
a. Location
b. Date
c. Time
d. Identification of drivers
e. Identification of the owner
f. Identification of any pedestrians,
passengers, and pedal-cyclists
g. Identification of the motor vehicles
h. Direction of travel of each motor
vehicle involved
i. Other property involved
j. Environmental conditions existing at
the time of the accident
k. A narrative description of the events
and circumstances leading up to the
time of the crash and immediately
after the crash.
2. In all other motor vehicle crashes
or incidents, the drivers of the motor
vehicles involved should be required to
immediately notify and report the motor
vehicle crash or incident to the nearest
law enforcement agency of the
jurisdiction in which the motor vehicle
crash or incident occurred. This
includes, but is not limited to, motor
vehicle crashes or incidents involving:
a. Fatal or nonfatal personal injury or
b. Damage to the extent that any
motor vehicle involved cannot be driven
under its own power, and therefore
requires towing.
D. Motor vehicle crash investigation
and incident reporting. Each State
should establish a plan for motor
vehicle crash investigation and incident
reporting that meets the following
criteria:
1. A law enforcement agency
investigation should be conducted of all

motor vehicle crashes and incidents
identified in section III.C.2 of this
guideline. Information collected should
be consistent with the law enforcement
mission of detecting and apprehending
violators of any criminal or traffic
statute, regulation or ordinance, and
should include, as a minimum, the
following:
a. Violation(s), if any occurred, cited
by section and subsection, numbers and
titles of the State code, that contributed
to the motor vehicle crash or incident or
for which the driver was arrested or
cited.
b. Information supporting each of the
elements of the offenses for which the
driver was arrested or cited.
c. Information (collected in
accordance with the program
established under Highway Safety
Program Guideline No. 15, Traffic Law
Enforcement Services), relating to
human, vehicular, and roadway factors
causing individual motor vehicle
crashes and incidents, injuries, and
deaths, including failure to use seat
belts.
2. Multidisciplinary motor vehicle
crash investigation teams should be
established, with representatives from
appropriate interest areas, such as law
enforcement, prosecutorial, traffic,
highway and automotive engineering,
medical, behavioral, and social sciences.
Data gathered by each member of the
investigation team should be consistent
with the mission of the member’s
agency, and should be for the purpose
of determining the causes of motor
vehicle crashes, injuries, and deaths.
These teams should conduct
investigations of an appropriate
sampling of motor vehicle crashes in
which there were one or more of the
following conditions:
a. Locations that have a similarity of
design, traffic engineering
characteristics, or environmental
conditions, or that have a significantly
large or disproportionate number of
crashes.
b. Motor vehicles or motor vehicle
parts that are involved in a significantly
large or disproportionate number of
motor vehicle crashes, or fatal or injury
producing crashes or incidents.
c. Drivers, pedestrians, and motor
vehicle occupants of a particular age,
sex, or other grouping, who are involved
in a significantly large or
disproportionate number of fatal or
injury producing motor vehicle crashes
or incidents.
d. Motor vehicle crashes in which the
causation or the resulting injuries and
property damage are not readily
explainable in terms of conditions or
circumstances that prevailed.

evaluation.
