Georgia State Patrol Crash Reports
Highway and interstate accidents in Georgia are typically handled by the Georgia State Patrol (GSP). GSP troopers file the GDOT-523 crash report form — the official state document for all highway collisions. Enter your accident date and location to retrieve your GSP crash report.
The Georgia Department of Public Safety (including the Georgia State Patrol) and local law enforcement agencies maintain official crash records for the state.
Under Georgia law, O.C.G.A. § 40-6-273 requires the driver of a vehicle involved in a crash that causes injury, death, or property damage to an apparent extent of $500 or more to immediately notify law enforcement by the quickest means of communication. If law enforcement does not investigate the crash at the scene, drivers are expected to file a written accident report (Form SR-13) with the appropriate authorities within 10 days of the collision so that the crash information can be properly documented and maintained by the state.
