Obtaining a Crash Report

There are a few factors that must be considered before requesting a crash, or accident report. Most importantly, was the crash investigated by the Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP), or another agency (county sheriff's office or city police department)?

If the crash was investigated by the Tennessee Highway Patrol:

Any driver/owner/passenger or their agent or legal representative may purchase a copy of the Crash Report for a fee of $4.00. The reports are available approximately 7 days after the date of the crash at the THP District Office. This can be purchased through the mail, or by visiting their office in person. Access a complete listing of THP District Office locations can be found at the bottom of this section.

If the crash was investigated by a law enforcement agency other than the THP:

You can also contact the agency that investigated the crash to purchase a copy of the report from their office.

When purchasing a Crash Report, you should provide the following information:

• Date of crash
• County in which crash occurred
• Name(s) of driver(s) involved
• Agency Tracking Number
