ACCIDENT REPORTS ~

Kansas law says the driver of a vehicle involved in an accident resulting in injury or death of any person, or total damage to all property to an apparent extent of $500.00 or more, shall give notice immediately of such accident, by the quickest means of communication, to the nearest office of a duly authorized police authority. An accident report must be filed on all such incidents.
