Missouri injury resource

Missouri car accident report guide.

Missouri crash records depend on the investigating agency. A city police department, county sheriff, or Missouri State Highway Patrol troop may be the right starting point depending on where the crash happened.

Highway Patrol reports

Missouri State Highway Patrol provides an official crash-report search and request path for Patrol investigations.

Local agency reports

If a city police department or sheriff handled the scene, the report path may start with that local agency instead.

Useful details

Date, county, roadway, report number, involved drivers, insurer information, and responding agency details can make records requests easier.
