I was involved in 3 vehicle traffic accident on 11/17 at about 0645. I was stopped at a traffic light and struck from the rear by a van that was stopped behind me. They were struck from the rear and pushed into me. The driver of the third vehicle apparently made no attempt to stop and struck the van. The driver of the third car left on a backboard. ISP was the responding agency.
My questions:
1) How long does it typically take for an accident report to be available. The trooper told me that I could get it within ten days. This is now day eleven and counting. The only response I can get from the ISP post is that the trooper hasn't finish it yet. Surprisingly though, He found the time to notify the DMV and they managed to get a letter to me even with a holiday and a weekend.
2) Is there a statutory time limit for them to be available?
3) When did the State start requiring you to purchase the report from a third party?
4) When did the law require that everyone involved in a traffic accident be given a Breathalyzer at the scene and also required to consent to a blood draw at the hospital, even though none of the other drivers showed any signs of impairment? ( we were both told to drive ourselves to the hospital by the trooper at the scene)
