South Carolina Police Crash Report Form
Form Overview
The South Carolina collision report used by law enforcement agencies is officially titled the Traffic Collision Report Form TR‑310. The form name and revision date appear on the document’s footer and in state accident reporting guides. According to the index of crash forms maintained by the Accreditation Commission for Traffic Accident Reconstruction (ACTAR), South Carolina’s current report is Form TR‑310 (revision January 2001)【325376792544999†L145-L156】. The Department of Public Safety (SCDPS) issues the form and prescribes its use for all police agencies across the state. A corresponding code sheet provides numeric values for vehicle types, contributing factors, weather conditions and other entries so that the coded data can be uploaded into the state crash database. South Carolina also publishes an instruction manual that explains how officers should complete each field and use the codes; the manual is incorporated into law‑enforcement training. Drivers involved in minor collisions do not complete a separate owner report; instead they obtain a copy of the TR‑310 filed by the investigating agency. The report is printed on paper in triplicate and is also available through the state’s electronic reporting system. At the top of the first page are spaces for the investigating agency name, case number and crash classification. The footer lists the revision date, confirming that the current edition has been in use since January 2001. Using a single form across the state ensures that data from Charleston to Greenville can be compared and aggregated.
Section Breakdown
Because many boxes on the TR‑310 contain only small spaces or numbers, officers rely on the code sheet to translate descriptive information into numeric codes. Codes exist for everything from weather conditions to vehicle body type and for driver distraction categories. By using codes instead of long descriptions, the state can input the data into computer systems quickly and consistently. South Carolina also uses supplemental pages when more than two vehicles are involved or when there are more occupants than fit on the primary report. Additional narrative pages may be attached if the officer’s description will not fit in the space provided. These supplements ensure that no important information is omitted.
Header and crash details
The first page of the TR‑310 opens with a header section where the officer records the crash date, time and exact location. According to a guide to reading South Carolina crash reports, this “location information” block includes fields for city or county, road name or number, intersecting roadway and distance from the nearest intersection【278468813081406†L150-L258】. Latitude and longitude may also be recorded. Officers note whether the crash occurred on a state highway, county road or local street, and they record weather and roadway surface conditions. The first page also asks if the crash occurred in a work zone, the posted speed limit and whether emergency vehicles were involved.
Driver and vehicle sections
Below the location fields are large boxes for each vehicle and driver. These boxes capture the driver’s name, address, driver’s license number and state, date of birth and phone number. Officers also note whether the driver was impaired, distracted or using a mobile device, and whether alcohol or drug tests were given. Vehicle information includes the make, year, vehicle identification number, registration state and insurance policy number. Separate lines identify the owner if different from the driver. A small diagram of each vehicle shows the areas of damage and provides coded selections for vehicle type—passenger car, pickup truck, SUV or commercial motor vehicle. The report includes a “sequence of events” grid where the officer can code the first harmful event, subsequent events and the most harmful event, such as collision with another vehicle, overturning or striking a fixed object. For each contributing factor (e.g., speeding, failure to yield or distraction), the officer selects a code from the accompanying code sheet.
Occupants and injuries
The bottom half of page one and the entirety of page two deal with people. The “Personal Information” section lists every driver, passenger or pedestrian involved in the crash. Each row records the person’s name, address, date of birth, gender and whether that person was the driver, a passenger or a non‑motorist. Officers note seatbelt use, helmet use for motorcyclists, airbag deployment, whether the person was ejected and whether EMS transported them to a hospital. A law‑firm guide to reading South Carolina crash reports explains that page two includes an “Injury Information” table that specifies the severity (fatal, incapacitating, evident or possible injury), as well as a block for “Sequence of Events” and “Presence of Alcohol or Drugs”【278468813081406†L196-L244】. There is also a section for “Vehicle Defects,” where officers code any mechanical issues like faulty brakes or worn tires that may have contributed to the crash【278468813081406†L196-L244】. These details are crucial for safety research and for determining liability.
Narrative, diagram and officer details
Along the right margin of the first page is a column reserved for the crash diagram. The investigating officer sketches a bird’s‑eye view of the roadway, showing lanes, intersections, traffic control devices and the positions of vehicles prior to impact. Arrows indicate directions of travel and points of impact. The diagram helps insurers, attorneys and engineers visualise the scene without visiting it. Below the diagram is a narrative section where the officer writes a brief description of how the crash occurred. This narrative summarises witness statements, identifies contributing factors and notes any citations issued. A final section on the first page lists the officer’s name, badge number, agency, and the date and time the report was prepared. This ensures accountability and provides a contact for anyone seeking clarification.
