West Yorkshire Police form helps report crashes online - when to use it

People can report road traffic collisions providing no one has been injured and they’re not causing an obstruction.

• Join our new traffic and travel Facebook group to keep up to date with the latest on the roads and rails and share any disruptions you see while you're out and about

Other reasons to call emergency services instead of using the form include having already reported the collision to the police via a phone call or the 101 Live Chat; you have already exchanged details with the other driver (third party); if the incident occurred outside of West Yorkshire.

You can now report road traffic collisions to us, using an online form on our website – if there are no injuries to anyone involved.

Reasons to use the form include road traffic collisions where a drive has 'failed to stop', damage only road traffic collisions and if the incident has occurred in West Yorkshire.

People can report information via www.westyorkshire.police.uk/report-a-road-traffic-collision

It is hoped the form will save emergency call operators' time.
