For all the Florida Highway Patrol owners if you want to request a crash report here is the info right from their site


How to get a copy of a crash report?

Crash reports may be obtained from the local Florida Highway Patrol Station that is closest to where the crash occurred. Crash reports are kept in the local districts for 2 years from the date of crash. Homicide reports are kept in the local districts for 5 years from the date of crash.

To order a crash report ($2.00) older than 2 years, call (850) 617-3416.
To order a traffic homicide report ($25.00) older than 5 years, call (850) 617-2306.


To order traffic homicide photographs, call (850) 617-3409.
Photographs are $1.00 for 5"x7" or $1.50 for 8"x10".

NOTE: When requesting photographs, have at least two of the following pieces of information available when you place your request:


Date of Crash
County of Crash
Name of Fatality Victim
Traffic Homicide Case Number

Whenever a police vehicle is involved in a crash they must take photographs. Run a car fax on your car and if it was involved in a crash there will usually be a case number right on the carfax. Call the number above for the crash reports older than 2 years and they will tell you how many photographs are available of your accident (mine had 26!) this is a great way to document the original features of your car when it was in service. The people on the phone will tell you where to send the money. They charge you for the report and for each photo. Good luck! and maybe we can make this post a sticky?
