Why Some Crashes are Not in the State File
• Do not meet Oregon’s reporting threshold. • Involved license suspensions w/non-compliant drivers and
were delayed in DMV’s process. • Were ‘hit-n-run’ with a parked vehicle or property. • Involved multiple driver’s who agreed not to report and no
police are present to report. • Single vehicle crash not attended by police, not reported by
driver. • Report doesn’t reach DMV due to serious injury litigation or
ongoing criminal investigation. (This is rare but has occurred.)
• Do not involve a motor vehicle, i.e. bicycle only.
