Report Motor Vehicle Collisions Online

Community members can now report Motor Vehicle Collisions (MVCs) online. Submit the collision details, including information about the other driver, any witnesses, and your personal statement.

After you submit your report, you will receive:

  • a unique reference number, and
  • instructions for visiting the Collision Reporting Centre (CRC), including its location, hours, and required documents such as identification and your vehicle.

At the CRC, staff will verify your documents, photograph your vehicle, and finalize the report.

This online option makes the process faster and more convenient, allowing you to start from home and reduce your time at the CRC.

Report a collision online

Attending the Collision Reporting Centre

We work in collaboration with Accident Support Services  to provide efficient and effective collision reporting through the Collision Reporting Centre (CRC).

CRC Phone Number: 705-983-0994 
Accident Support Services can also be reached at this number.

Before attending the CRC, please ensure you have:

  • Your valid Driver’s Licence
  • Your vehicle ownership
  • Your insurance slip
  • The vehicle involved in the collision

If your vehicle was towed from the collision scene, confirm with the tow company that it has been taken to — and will be available for — CRC photographs.

Motor vehicle collisions that occur within the City of Greater Sudbury are generally directed to the Collision Reporting Centre.

What should you do after a collision?

 Assess the Damage
 Check your vehicle and any others involved to determine whether the total damage appears to exceed $5,000.
 Exchange Information with the Other Driver
You must exchange information with the other driver involved. The easiest way is to take clear photos of the required documents using your phone.

Please collect the following:

  • Driver’s Licence
  • Contact details (phone number)
  • Insurance information
  • Vehicle ownership information and licence plate number
Mandatory Reporting
Accidents involving injuries or death, criminal activity (such as impaired driving), or damage to private or public property - including buildings, light standards, hydro poles, road signs, or guardrails - must be reported, regardless of the amount of damage.
Attend the Collision Reporting Centre
Attend the Collision Reporting Centre if the total damage appears to exceed $5,000, if you are unsure of the total cost, or if you wish to report the damage for insurance purposes and ensure all required information is documented.


Call 9-1-1 when the collision:

  • Results in serious injury or death
  • Causes significant property damage
  • Involves a vehicle carrying hazardous materials
  • May involve criminal activity, such as an impaired driver or a stolen vehicle
  • Places you or someone else in immediate danger
  • Is a hit and run

If you witness or are involved in a hit and run, record as much information as possible, including the licence plate, vehicle description, occupants, location, and direction of travel of the suspect - only if it is safe to do so.

 What happens when you attend the Collision Reporting Centre

1. If your vehicle is safe to drive

  • Drive your vehicle to the Collision Reporting Centre within 24 hours of the collision.
  • Complete the collision report.
  • Leave with your vehicle once the report is finished.

 

2. If your vehicle is NOT drivable or is too damaged

  • The vehicle must be towed by a licensed tow company to the Collision Reporting Centre and will remain on the tow bed.
  • CRC staff will take photographs of the vehicle.
  • After photos are taken, the tow company will take the vehicle to a location of your choice or back to the tow company’s pound.
  • You may attend the CRC at the same time or shortly after your vehicle arrives to complete the collision report.
  • The vehicle must be viewed at the Collision Reporting Centre as part of the collision reporting process.
