"Citizens with emergencies should call 911, citizens with non-emergency issues should wait to call CSPD until we return to normal operations. Drivers are reminded if they are involved in a traffic accident with no fatality or injury requiring medical attention, no driver involved is suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and all drivers are present with license, registration and insurance information drivers should exchange their information and follow the procedure for completing a counter report. When damage to any vehicle requires a wrecker, counter reports can still be made providing the previous criteria is met. Drivers can either pick up a traffic accident report form at any of the police department substations or they can go on line at Springsgov.com, go to the CSPD homepage and select “report a minor traffic accident” for instructions."
