Vehicle Crash / Collision Report

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.
  • Campus Safety responds to a collision and wants a structured record with involved parties and follow‑up.

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
