MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - Memphis Police Department has implemented their inclement weather crash policy.

In the event of a crash, rather than calling police, drivers should:

  • Exchange names, addresses, phone numbers, insurance information and tag numbers of the vehicles involved
  • Take photograph(s) of the damage and tag number of vehicles involved
  • Both drivers should call the nearest Memphis Police Station or the Memphis Police Traffic Office to report the accident. This should be done within five (5) working days.
  • An Officer or PST will complete a Crash Report or a “Non-Investigated Crash Report” (NIR).

If there are injuries, you should still call for help.
