In the event of a motor vehicle crash not investigated by law enforcement, the involved driver, or another on their behalf if necessary, must complete the CRB-2 form, also known as the Driver's Crash Report. This document is critical in Texas, where it serves to record incidents involving injury, death, or property damage exceeding $1,000 to any one person, including the driver themselves. It is mandatory that this form be submitted within ten days following the crash, detailing specifics such as location, vehicle information, driver and owner details, insurance, and any property damage or personal injuries sustained. This form plays a pivotal role not only in fulfilling legal obligations under the Texas Motor Vehicle Safety-Responsibility Act but also in assisting with insurance claims and maintaining an accurate and comprehensive state record of motor vehicle crashes. Information required includes the crash location, date, time, and a narrative of how the incident occurred, alongside a directive to avoid submitting photographs with the report. Ensuring the form is completed accurately and thoroughly is essential for its acceptance by the Texas Department of Public Safety, underscoring the importance of reviewing instructions carefully before submission.
