SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah Department of Public Safety has a new system that allows drivers to get their accident reports online.
Rather than going in person to the responding law enforcement office, people can log on to http://crashreport.utah.gov and request a copy of the report. After the system verifies the person's identity, the report is available for purchase and can be printed from a home computer.
“We are excited to offer this valuable service to our citizens,” said Commissioner D. Lance Davenport of the Utah Department of Public Safety. “Utahns are some of the most tech-savvy citizens in the nation and expect innovative services such as this. We work very hard to offer services that are both helpful and convenient.”
After purchasing a report, it remains available online for up to 10 days.
According to the most recent data from Utah Highway Patrol, Utah law enforcement agencies process more than 56,000 traffic accidents annually.
