When Does a California Car Accident Have to Be Reported to the Police?
Drivers in California are required to stop at the scene of all crashes, and must fulfill certain other requirements. For example:

• Drivers must move their vehicles off the street or highway after a crash if no one is injured or killed

• Drivers must pull over and stop if they kill or injure animals

• Drivers who hit parked cars must try to find the owner or must leave a note with their contact details. The collision should be reported to the police or the California Highway Patrol.

• Drivers must report a collision in writing to the police or the California Highway Patrol if anyone is hurt or killed and the police aren’t present at the crash scene. If drivers cannot physically file a report, others who were in the vehicle should make the report.

• Drivers must complete the Report of Traffic Accident Occurring in California (SR 1) form and submit it to the DMV within 10 days of an accident if more than $1,000 in property damage occurred in the crash, if anyone was hurt (even slightly) or if anyone was killed
