"The ABC's of what to do in case of a collision"

"A"CTIONS to be taken in case of a collision

Police must be called to the scene when:

  • The collision involves injury or death
  • Criminal activity is suspected (ex. impaired driving, stolen vehicle, assault)
  • Collision involves a suspended or un-insured driver
  • Collision involves a Government vehicle (TTC included)

If Police assistance is NOT REQUIRED, then:

  • Remove the vehicles from the roadway if so, to do so
  • Exchange information with the other involved parties including eyewitnesses (see bottom of the page for details)
  • As soon as possible, WITH YOUR VEHICLE, attend the Collision Reporting Center or CRC closest to the accident scene.

"B"E aware, BE informed:

If your vehicle is not driveable and requires towing: be cautioned! Many tow truck drivers are routinley paid commisions based on a percentage of the total repair cost. The results can be shoddy and slipshod workmanship, frequently using non-certified aftermarket parts. Don't let this happen to you.
It's your decision where your car is taken for repairs.
