01About this service
About this service
Troopers of the Leonida Highway Patrol work crashes on the interstates, including Interstate 404, on U.S. Route 1 and on State highways outside city limits. Inside a city, the local police write the report, for example the VCPD in Vice City.
Reports are ready about ten days after the crash. For the first 60 days, only the people involved, their insurers and their attorneys can get a copy.
Who it’s for
- Drivers, passengers and owners of vehicles involved in a crash
