Wyoming Investigator's Traffic Crash Report
Form overview
The Wyoming Department of Transportation issues the Investigator's Traffic Crash Report and requires all law enforcement agencies in the state to use it for reportable crashes involving injury, death or at least $1,000 in property damage. The form spans eight pages, each focusing on a different set of data: general crash information, driver and vehicle details, occupant codes, vehicle causation, second vehicle details, driver actions and citations, crash circumstances and environmental factors, and a diagram with narrative. A coding sheet accompanies the form so that officers can convert descriptive information into standardized numeric values. The structure ensures that data can be entered into the state's crash database and shared with federal agencies.
Section breakdown
Page 1 – Basic crash details
The first page captures the date, time and location of the crash. Officers document whether an ambulance responded, whether the crash was a hit and run and the estimated monetary value of the damages to the vehicles involved. This estimated damage amount can influence insurance claims, so it is important for drivers to review it. At the bottom of page 1, the report lists the investigating officer's name and identifying information, providing a point of contact for anyone needing clarification.
Page 2 – Driver and vehicle information
Page 2 contains mirrored sections for driver one and driver two. Each section lists the driver's name, address, date of birth, driver's license number and insurance information. Officers record the point of impact on the vehicle, whether the vehicle was towed and which part of the vehicle sustained the most damage. Drivers are instructed to carefully review this information because insurers may dispute claims if the report inaccurately reflects the damage. Additional vehicles can be documented on supplemental pages.
Page 3 – Occupant injury codes
The third page includes a matrix of codes for each person involved in the crash. These codes describe the person's seat position (driver, front passenger, rear passenger), whether an air bag deployed, whether the person was ejected, their injury status (fatal, incapacitating, non‑incapacitating, possible injury, none), the most injured area, injury classification and how the injured party was transported (ambulance, helicopter, private vehicle). The bottom half of page 3 provides space to record these codes for each individual. This level of detail allows researchers and public health officials to link crash outcomes with safety equipment use and vehicle design.
Page 4 – Vehicle one cause and sequence of events
Page 4 focuses on Vehicle 1 and documents the cause of the crash for that vehicle. The officer notes whether the vehicle was involved in a collision or non‑collision incident and identifies the most harmful event (e.g., striking another vehicle, hitting a fixed object, overturning). A series of boxes allows the officer to record up to four sequential events that occurred during the crash—such as initial impact, secondary collisions, or leaving the roadway—and to select from 23 contributing circumstances codes. These codes include factors like speeding, distracted driving, mechanical failures, roadway defects and weather conditions. By systematically recording these factors, the report enables analysts to determine what combination of events led to the crash.
Page 5 – Vehicle two details
Page 5 mirrors page 4 but applies to Vehicle 2. It contains the same sequence of events boxes and contributing circumstances codes for the second vehicle. Even if the driver of vehicle two appears to be at fault, the report ensures that both vehicles' actions and conditions are documented completely. In two‑vehicle crashes, comparing the sequence of events and contributing circumstances for each vehicle can reveal whether driver actions or environmental factors were the primary cause.
Page 6 – Driver actions and citations
The sixth page collects additional information about each driver's actions and impairment. Officers note whether driver one was speeding, improperly passing, following too closely, failing to yield or violating any other traffic laws. They indicate whether the driver was under the influence of alcohol or drugs and whether any citations were issued. The bottom half of the page contains the same fields for driver two. Because Wyoming follows comparative negligence, even a driver who is partially at fault may still recover damages. Accurate documentation of driver actions is therefore crucial for legal proceedings and insurance claims.
Page 7 – Crash circumstances and environment
Page 7 is labeled as base information and records the first harmful event, the object struck, and environmental details. Codes indicate whether the collision involved another vehicle, a pedestrian, an animal, a fixed object or a non‑collision event like overturning. The page also lists weather conditions, road surface conditions, lighting, whether the crash occurred in a work zone or at an intersection and the manner of collision (rear‑end, head‑on, sideswipe, angle or backing). This information helps transportation planners identify risk factors that contribute to crashes and design appropriate countermeasures.
Page 8 – Diagram, narrative and witness information
The eighth page contains space for the investigating officer to draw a diagram of the crash scene. Officers illustrate the road layout, direction of travel, skid marks and the point of impact. Beneath the diagram is a narrative section where the officer describes the crash in their own words. This narrative may include witness statements or observations that do not fit into coded fields. Because the narrative carries weight with insurance companies and courts, drivers should review it to ensure accuracy. The bottom of page 8 provides space to list witnesses, including their names and contact information. Witness testimony can be crucial evidence, and the report encourages officers to document all eyewitnesses.
Coding sheet and supplements
Throughout the eight pages, officers use a coding sheet to translate descriptive information into standardized values. Codes exist for seat position, injury severity, contributing circumstances, road conditions, light and weather. This system enables Wyoming's crash database to capture complex crash characteristics in a consistent format. When crashes involve more than two vehicles or additional occupants, supplemental pages may be attached. The supplemental forms mirror the structure of the primary pages, ensuring that all parties and events are documented.
Use cases
Law enforcement and crash investigation
Wyoming's investigators use the crash report to piece together the sequence of events and determine causation. The step‑by‑step sequence of events on pages 4 and 5 allows reconstruction experts to build a timeline of the crash. Contributing circumstances codes and driver action fields highlight behaviors like speeding or distracted driving that may have led to the collision. The injury codes on page 3 help police and medical personnel understand the severity of the crash and coordinate emergency response. Accurate reports also support law enforcement in enforcing traffic laws and pursuing criminal charges when necessary.
Insurance and legal proceedings
Insurers rely on accident reports to evaluate claims and assign liability. Driver and vehicle information on pages 2, 4 and 5 allows adjusters to determine who was at fault and whether damage estimates are accurate. Injury codes on page 3 help insurers assess medical claims and allocate benefits. Attorneys representing injured parties use the report's narrative, diagram and witness information to build a negligence case, while defense attorneys look for errors or omissions that could mitigate their client's responsibility. In Wyoming's comparative negligence system, accurate documentation can significantly affect settlement amounts.
Transportation planning and safety improvements
The Wyoming Department of Transportation uses crash data to identify high‑risk locations and factors. By analyzing patterns in first harmful events, manner of collision and environmental codes, engineers can determine whether specific road segments or intersections need improvements such as rumble strips, guardrails, improved signage or reduced speed limits. Data on animal collisions may lead to the installation of wildlife crossings or fencing. Weather and road surface codes help maintenance crews decide where to deploy snowplows, sand or de‑icing chemicals during winter storms.
Public health and research
Public health researchers study crash reports to understand injury trends and evaluate interventions. The detailed occupant codes on page 3 provide insights into seat belt use, airbag deployment and ejection, helping design educational campaigns and legislation. Data on driver impairment and contributing circumstances support substance abuse prevention programs. Because the Wyoming crash report has been standardized for years, researchers can conduct longitudinal studies to assess the impact of new laws or safety technologies on crash outcomes.
Conclusion
The Wyoming Investigator's Traffic Crash Report illustrates the importance of standardized police reports and crash reports. Its eight pages capture everything from basic crash details and driver information to injury codes, sequence of events, contributing circumstances and detailed narratives. The coding system transforms complex crash scenarios into data that can be analyzed across the state and compared with national trends. By ensuring consistency, the report enables law enforcement, insurers, engineers, attorneys and researchers to work from a common factual record. In a state with long stretches of highway and varied weather, such uniform reporting is essential for protecting motorists and improving road safety.
