Michigan State Police traffic crash reports

Where to buy a copy of the UD-10 traffic crash report written by the officer who responded.

What it is

The UD-10 is the standard Michigan traffic crash report. The responding officer writes it, and it records the date, the vehicles, the people involved, the insurers named at the scene, any citations, and a diagram of how the officer understood the crash to have happened.

Why you want it

Almost every no-fault step asks for the report number. Insurers ask for it, an attorney will ask for it, and it is often the only contemporaneous record of who said what at the scene.

When it is available

Usually about a week after the crash, sometimes longer if the investigation is still open. If it is not there yet, try again rather than assuming it does not exist.

If something in it is wrong

The report is the officer's account, not a finding of fault, and it can be wrong. Corrections go through the agency that wrote it, and a disagreement about fault in the report does not decide your claim.

A crash report is the responding officer's account. It is not a legal finding of fault and it does not decide a claim.

  • Date, approximate time and location of the crash
  • The name of the responding agency, if you know it
  • Your own name as it appears in the report
  • The report or incident number, if the officer gave you one
