Which of the following would NOT typically be included in an accident report?

An accident report is designed to be an objective and factual account of the events surrounding a traffic incident. It typically includes details such as the specifics of the incident (location, time, and nature of the accident), witness statements that provide additional perspectives, and driver’s insurance information, which is necessary for processing claims and determining liability.

Personal opinions of the officers, on the other hand, have no place in an accident report. The primary purpose of the report is to document observable facts rather than subjective viewpoints. Including personal opinions could lead to ambiguity and undermine the integrity of the report, as it could introduce bias or speculation. Law enforcement documentation must remain impartial to effectively serve its purpose in legal and insurance proceedings. Therefore, it is essential to keep the report focused on objective information.
