MPD: Do This If You’re In an Ice-Related Fender Bender

Drivers should report a collision to police within five days of the accident.

As snow, sleet, ice, and rain fall again on Memphis, the Memphis Police Department (MPD) outlined what motorists should do if they get into a non-life-threatening collision on slick roads.

Under the MPD’s Inclement Weather Crash Policy, drivers should:

• Exchange names, addresses, phone numbers, insurance information, and tag numbers of the vehicles involved 

• Take photographs of the damage and tag number of vehicles involved 

• Within five working days, both drivers should call the nearest Memphis police station or the Memphis Police Traffic Office to report the accident.

An officer or Police Service Technician will then complete a crash report or a non-investigated crash report
