Do I call police if I’m involved in a traffic crash?
Did you know that not all traffic crashes require police reporting?
In 2015 the reporting conditions in Queensland changed, to help reduce danger to road users and minimise traffic congestion.
In the unfortunate event that you are involved in a traffic crash, the following information should be considered before calling Police click here.
With the wet season fast approaching, it’s a timely reminder to ensure that we take care on our roads and drive to the conditions.
It is also that time of year again when flood-waters cover roads, making them impassable and potentially dangerous.
Shallow water can be deceptive and easily sweep vehicles away. Water that appears calm on the surface, poses a risk of strong currents and debris under the surface. Just a small amount of flood-water can wash your vehicle away.
Remember, If its flooded, forget it!
If you have information for police, contact Policelink on 131 444 or provide information using the online form 24hrs per day.
You can report information about crime anonymously to Crime Stoppers, a registered charity and community volunteer organisation, by calling 1800 333 000 or via crimestoppersqld.com.au 24hrs per day.
