State-reportable Car Crash Records Now Available Online
PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — South Dakotans wanting to get copies of car crash reports can now find those records online.
The state Department of Public safety says the new online system for state-reportable crash records went live this week.
The new system allows users to search the state database for crash records. There is a flat $10 fee to purchase each record online.
Crash records are typically sought by insurance companies, law firms and individuals involved in state-reportable vehicle crashes. A state-reportable crash is currently for those resulting in $1,000 of damage per vehicle or more than $2,000 in damage for all of the vehicles involved.
Those limits will increase later this year.
