- The process involves notifying the Communications Centre, exchanging documentation with the other party, and attending a CRC to complete a collision report.
Filing a Collision Report
- The driver must exchange documentation with the other party, including driver's license, vehicle permit, and insurance information.
- The driver must attend a CRC to complete a collision report, either immediately or on their next scheduled shift.
