Remain Calm
- and treat injuries first.  

Police should be called to the scene when the collision involves:

 - any serious injuries or death.

 -  any appearance of criminal activity.  (i.e. impaired driving, assault, stolen vehicle etc.)

 -  an uninsured or suspended driver

 -  pedestrians or bicycles.

 -  any Municipal, Provincial, Federal Government  vehicles or TTC.

 -  other party refusing  to provide required information as is legally mandatory.

If police assistance is not required, the driver should:

 -  If it is safe to do so, remove vehicles from the roadway.

 -  Obtain the other driver’s license number, name, address, telephone number and insurance 
    information. It is illegal for anyone to refuse to provide this. Call police if they refuse.

 -  Obtain names and phone numbers of any witnesses.

 -  As soon as possible, within 24 hours, with your vehicle attend the  Collision Reporting Centre closest to 

     the accident scene. Please do not sign anything for anyone other than the police. 
 

If a tow truck is required, 
 - Remember -- they must go directly to the Collision Reporting Centre and  direct them to drop off the           vehicle where the first 24 hrs of storage is free. After that it is only $45.00  per day, which your                     insurance will pay for. Usually your vehicle will be picked up before any storage charges are incurred

Please note:   Be very careful in letting the initial towing company tow away your vehicle from the                                     CRC after the report is made, as there is no regulation regarding how much they can                                         charge for a second tow, whereas the first tow is regulated. Your vehicle could wind up                                     locked up at their pound for days incurring unnecessary and exorbitant charges.

 - Contact your insurance company or the Body Shop of your choice and let them look after towing your          vehicle from the CRC. You will have to give the CRC permission to release your vehicle to company of          your choice as they will not so without that.
