Colorado law requires that all motor vehicle accidents be reported to the proper law enforcement authorities. In some circumstances, you may be able to report your accident online to the Colorado Division of Motor Vehicles.
To file a report using the State of Colorado Online Accident Report, the accident must meet each of the following criteria:
This report should also be used when "Accident Alert" was in effect at the time the accident occurred. "Accident Alert" is defined as those times when weather conditions are so severe that officers are unable to respond to the large volume of motor vehicle crashes or when the city is operating under a declaration of emergency. The Montrose PD is operating under "Accident Alert" for the duration of the COVID-19 declaration of emergency.
File your accident report online, if all of the above criteria are met.
