"The ABC's of what to do in case of a collision"
"A"CTIONS to be taken in case of a collision
Police must be called to the scene when:
- The collision involves injury or death
- Criminal activity is suspected (ex. impaired driving, stolen vehicle, assault)
- Collision involves a suspended or un-insured driver
- Collision involves a Government vehicle (TTC included)
If Police assistance is NOT REQUIRED, then:
- Remove the vehicles from the roadway if so, to do so
- Exchange information with the other involved parties including eyewitnesses (see bottom of the page for details)
- As soon as possible, WITH YOUR VEHICLE, attend the Collision Reporting Center or CRC closest to the accident scene.
"B"E aware, BE informed:
If your vehicle is not driveable and requires towing: be cautioned! Many tow truck drivers are routinley paid commisions based on a percentage of the total repair cost. The results can be shoddy and slipshod workmanship, frequently using non-certified aftermarket parts. Don't let this happen to you.
It's your decision where your car is taken for repairs.
