What Is It?
Use this form to report a motor vehicle crash or collision that occurred on campus or in nearby areas under Campus Safety’s jurisdiction. This includes crashes involving:
- Two or more vehicles
- A single vehicle striking a fixed object (pole, barrier, building, etc.)
- Vehicles and pedestrians or cyclists
Campus Safety uses this information to:
- Document what occurred and how Campus Safety responded
- Coordinate with Facilities, Risk Management/Insurance, and law enforcement as appropriate
- Identify patterns or locations with repeated incidents that may need safety improvements (signage, lighting, traffic controls, etc.)
- Support accurate internal records and, when applicable, statistical reporting obligations (for example, when a crash involves a Clery‑reportable crime such as aggravated assault or hit‑and‑run that meets reporting criteria).
If there is an active emergency - injuries, fire, fuel leak, or a crash blocking traffic - call Campus Safety at 610-409-3333 or 911 immediately. You can submit this report afterward to provide details.
Who Can Use This Service
- Students
- Faculty and staff
- Campus Safety officers/dispatch documenting crashes they respond to
- (Optionally) Risk Management or Facilities staff, if they need to log incidents directly
When to Use This Service
Use this service when:
- A crash has occurred on campus or on adjacent property where Campus Safety has responsibility (e.g., campus parking lots, drives, or walkways).
- You discovered damage to your vehicle on campus and suspect it may be related to a crash or hit‑and‑run.

Do not use this service when:
- The crash is off campus and handled entirely by local police unless Campus Safety specifically asks you to document it here.
- You need immediate medical help or traffic control—call Campus Safety / 911 first
