COMPREHENSIVE DRIVER SAFETY PROGRAM

ACCIDENT REPORTING

For the protection of the driver and the University, it is very important that any and all accidents are reported timely and properly.

In the event of a vehicular accident on campus: the driver should immediately contact the campus Public Safety Office. If any persons involved sustain injuries they should be referred directly to the Campus Nurse, or if injuries appear serous or life threatening, emergency responders should be notified immediately. The driver and involved parties are required to complete a State of Missouri Automobile Loss accident form with the Public Safety Office. (Appendix item J)

When accidents occur off campus the driver should always report the accident to the local police, and the driver is required to complete a State of Missouri Automobile Loss accident form with the Public Safety Office. (Appendix item J)

Emergency situations should be handled accordingly. If the vehicle is too damaged to complete travel, then the driver (or, by default, other responsible member of the traveling party) must make local arrangements for towing. Arrangements should also be made (via telephone with campus supervisors) for repair authorization and, if appropriate, continued transportation. These procedures are outlined in the Rental Vehicle Procedures Form that is supplied to the driver/group sponsor when the vehicle is received for use. (Appendix item K)
