Colorado Traffic Accident Report (DR 2447 series)

Page 1 – party and vehicle information

The first page bears the title “State of Colorado Traffic Accident Report” and includes checkboxes to indicate whether the report is amended, supplemental, an under‑$1,000 property‑damage crash, a counter report or a private‑property crash【806718446384579†screenshot】. These options allow officers to file updates or note when no investigation was conducted at the scene. Fields at the top capture administrative identifiers: DOR code, case number, accident date, agency, page number, county ID and a barcode. There is a mailing address instructing agencies to send reports to the Colorado Department of Revenue’s traffic records section.

Location and case details

Just below the header, the form records the date of accident, time of accident and time notified, along with latitude and longitude or cross‑street references. Officers specify whether the crash was investigated or non‑investigated (e.g., counter reports filed at stations). Checkboxes indicate whether the crash involved a pedestrian, bicycle, train or other circumstances【806718446384579†screenshot】. The form includes a section for the officer’s name, badge number and signature.

Driver and personal data

The central portion of page 1 is dedicated to driver and vehicle information for a single party. A column lists the party’s last name, first name and middle initial; their street address, city, state, zip code and personal phone number. Demographic details such as sex, race, driver’s licence number, driver’s licence state, class and date of birth are captured【806718446384579†screenshot】. Colorado also records the primary violation suspected (statute number), the citation number and a common code describing the violation. This integration of enforcement information ensures that legal outcomes are directly tied to the crash report.

Vehicle and towing information

Next, the form describes the vehicle: year, make, model, body type, colour, licence plate number, state or county of registration and vehicle identification number (VIN)【806718446384579†screenshot】. The officer notes the vehicle owner’s name and address if different from the driver. A checkbox indicates whether the vehicle was towed due to damage or disabled; there is a column to record the severity of damage as slight, moderate or severe and to note the towed by service. If the vehicle was hauling a trailer, additional boxes record the trailer’s VIN and whether damage occurred to the trailer’s undercarriage【806718446384579†screenshot】. An undercarriage diagram allows the officer to mark damage to the vehicle’s underside.

Insurance and property damage

An area near the bottom of the page asks for the driver’s insurance company and policy number and whether the driver carries insurance proof. There is a section for other property damage: officers identify any non‑vehicle property damaged (e.g., fences, guardrails) and provide the owner’s name, address and phone number. Recording property owners ensures that all parties impacted by the crash can be contacted.

Page 2 – diagram sheet and carrier identification

The second page of the Colorado report is largely blank except for a labelled grid【663459666543971†screenshot】. The top row repeats the case number, DOR code, accident date and agency, ensuring the diagram is linked to the correct report. Officers draw a scaled diagram showing lanes, roadway geometry, vehicle paths, skid marks, debris, traffic control devices and other physical evidence. The grid is lettered along the axes to provide reference points. Using a separate diagram sheet prevents crowding the information fields on page 1 and encourages detailed, legible drawings. At the bottom of the diagram page are boxes for the carrier name and address for up to two commercial carriers. Additional checkboxes identify whether the carrier is regulated by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) or state DOT and provide a carrier identification number【663459666543971†screenshot】. These fields are used when the crash involves a commercial motor vehicle and link the report to carrier registration databases.

Page 3 – Colorado Investigator’s Fatal Traffic Accident Supplemental Report

The third page is titled “Colorado Investigator’s Fatal Traffic Accident Supplemental Report” and is used when a collision results in a fatality【971999757939827†screenshot】. This supplement captures data that is not otherwise collected on the standard report: * Emergency medical services (EMS) – officers record whether EMS was called, the time the call was placed, the time of arrival on scene and the time of departure. These data help evaluate EMS response times. * Accident avoidance manoeuvre – checkboxes indicate actions taken by drivers to avoid the collision, such as braking, steering, accelerating or “no apparent avoidance.” The form asks for a separate response for each involved unit【971999757939827†screenshot】. * Hazardous materials involvement – the officer notes whether hazardous materials were present (e.g., a placarded truck), whether there was a release and whether the crash involved a fire. This information assists hazardous‑materials response teams. * Trafficway flow and number of travel lanes – the supplement records whether the roadway was divided, undivided, one‑way or part of a complex interchange. There is a checkbox to indicate whether the traffic flow was one way, two way with median, two way without median or other【971999757939827†screenshot】. Officers also record the number of through travel lanes. * Traffic control device functioning – the officer lists the most significant traffic control devices at the crash scene (e.g., stop sign, yield sign, signal, railroad crossing) and notes whether the device was functioning properly【971999757939827†screenshot】. * Occupant data for fatal crashes – a large section labelled “must be completed for all persons involved except uninjured bus/railway passengers” captures details for each occupant, including seat position, ejection path, alcohol suspected, tested for alcohol or drugs, taken by coroners or transported by EMS and deceased at scene. By requiring this level of detail, Colorado ensures that fatal crashes are analysed comprehensively. The supplemental form ends with spaces to note whether an occupant was pronounced dead at the scene or at a hospital, and to list the names of the physician or coroner and the funeral home. Such information is essential for death‑certificate and legal‑process documentation.

Coding and analysis

Colorado’s traffic accident report uses codes to standardise data entry. Although the code sheet is not reproduced here, the report fields rely on coding for primary violation, common code, vehicle body type, damage severity, occupant seat position, restraint use and injury severity. The report also collects information on alcohol and drug involvement, ejection, extrication and EMS response times. The separation of fatal‑accident information into a supplemental sheet underscores Colorado’s focus on detailed fatality analysis. By combining detailed driver/vehicle data, occupant information, diagrams and commercial carrier identifiers, Colorado’s report supports comprehensive crash analysis.

Unique aspects and comparison

Compared with other states’ reports, Colorado’s form emphasises violation and enforcement data. The inclusion of statute numbers and citation information on the main page helps integrate crash records with court and driver‑licensing databases. The occupant table on page 1 allows investigators to link occupant characteristics directly to a particular unit, which aids in reconstructing occupant kinematics. The diagram page uses a fine grid and reference coordinates, promoting accurate scale drawings. The fatal accident supplement is notable for capturing EMS times, avoidance manoeuvres and hazardous‑materials involvement【971999757939827†screenshot】, reflecting Colorado’s commitment to understanding factors that influence fatality outcomes. In summary, the Colorado Traffic Accident Report provides a structured yet flexible framework for documenting collisions. It records detailed information about drivers, vehicles and occupants; captures the physical context through diagrams; and offers a dedicated fatality supplement. These components work together to support enforcement actions, insurance claims, engineering studies and highway safety research.
