What to do in a Traffic Collision

  • ​First if injuries are involved call 911 to start medical aid and police.
  • When there are no injuries, move your vehicle out of traffic to the nearest place of safety.

  • In a non-injury collision, call Ukiah PD Dispatch non-emergency line, 707-463-6262
  • Exchange driver license, vehicle registration, and insurance information with the other driver or drivers.

  • Do not accept or place any blame. Your insurance company has people trained to determine who is at fault.

  • Gather contact information from possible witnesses.

  • Take a moment to write down details of the collision, such as time of day, traffic conditions, weather conditions, and the events that led up to the collision.
