General
足球游戏_中国足彩网￥体育资讯 policy requires that any accident involving college-owned or -rented vehicles must be reported immediately to local law enforcement within the jurisdiction where the accident occurred, and to 足球游戏_中国足彩网￥体育资讯’s Department of Campus Safety (if possible).

In the event that there is an accident involving a 足球游戏_中国足彩网￥体育资讯-owned or -rented vehicle, the driver’s primary safety function is to insure that all parties are safely moved out of harm’s way from the vicinity of the accident. Note: severely injured parties should be moved only by trained medical personnel, except under the crisis circumstances, to prevent additional injuries to the victim.
In the glove compartment of every 足球游戏_中国足彩网￥体育资讯-owned vehicle is an accident reporting kit, which contains a “足球游戏_中国足彩网￥体育资讯 Accident Report Form” and an insurance card with policy information, and instructions for filing in a claim.

For rental vehicles, a 足球游戏_中国足彩网￥体育资讯 “For Hire” insurance card and a “足球游戏_中国足彩网￥体育资讯 Accident Report Form” may be obtained from Chris Bohaska in Campus Services in advance of the rental of the vehicle or on the respective links above. 足球游戏_中国足彩网￥体育资讯 Accident Report Forms are also recommended for drivers utilizing personal vehicles for college-related travel.
Within 24 hours of any accident, the completed “足球游戏_中国足彩网￥体育资讯 Accident Report Form” should be sent to Campus Services at cbohaska@mica.edu along with any other related paperwork, like a Campus Safety Incident Report and/or a police report. Drivers must also report the accident to their supervisor.
Other points of consideration in the event of an accident:
- Make no statements to anyone other than local law enforcement or 足球游戏_中国足彩网￥体育资讯 Campus Safety officers;
- Make no statement about payment of damages or the nature of the 足球游戏_中国足彩网￥体育资讯’s insurance;
- Do not admit liability.
Drivers of 足球游戏_中国足彩网￥体育资讯-owned and -rented vehicles as well as personal vehicles are responsible for all citations/fees received as a result of an accident, excessive speed, moving violations or toll violations. 足球游戏_中国足彩网￥体育资讯 will not reimburse these citations/fees.
If a college-owned vehicle is damaged and cannot be moved, the Police or Campus Safety officer will make recommendations for towing through Greenwood Towing. If a Transportation shuttle or bus is damaged and cannot be moved, contact the Transportation Office or Miller Transportation for assistance in calling Rosedale Towing. If a rented vehicle is damaged, follow the procedures outlined in the rental agreement or posted inside the vehicle.
