My squad was posed a question about traffic crashes the other day. Basically i want to know if you can clear from a single vehicle traffic accident that did not involve any form of dui or injuries. the accident was caused by a distraction by the assumed driver (no witnesses) and he failed to navigate a turn which caused significant damage (well above$500) to his own vehicle and we are having the vehicle removed by the next rotation wrecker at his request. the only property damage is some grass, a pine tree, and a palmetto bush that he struck. these plants are on county owned property but are not landscaped plants but rather wild growth.
I think that while yes i should do a FL DHSMV short form I could also do a driver's report of crash. what do you guys think? my Lt is somewhat receptive while my sgt thinks its impossible. this is all hypothetical and was just a question they posed.
I am basing my answer off the fact that if the owner is removing the vehicle themselves and no one was impaired or injured then past experience has shown that i did not have to complete the short form which was approved/preferred conduct by both supervisors at similar crash.
