Sec. 634.29  Traffic accident investigation reports.

    (a) Accidents requiring immediate reports. The driver or owner of 
any vehicle involved in an accident, as described in Sec. 634.28, on the 
installation, must immediately notify the installation law enforcement 
office. The operator of any Government vehicle involved in a similar 
accident off the installation must immediately notify the local civilian 
law enforcement agency having jurisdiction, as well as law enforcement 
personnel of the nearest military installation.
    (b) Investigation records. Installation law enforcement officials 
will record traffic accident investigations on Service/DLA forms. 
Information will be released according to Service/DLA policy, the 
Privacy Act, and the Freedom of Information Act.
    (c) Army law enforcement officers. These officers provide the local 
Safety Office copies of traffic accident investigation reports 
pertaining to accidents investigated by military police that resulted in 
a fatality, personal injury, or estimated damage to Government vehicles 
or property in excess of $1,000.
    (d) POV accidents not addressed in Sec. 638.28. Guidance for 
reporting these cases is provided below:
    (1) Drivers or owners of POVs will be required to submit a written 
report to the installation law enforcement office within 72 hours of an 
accident in the following cases:
    (i) The accident occurs on the installation.
    (ii) The accident involves no personal injury.
    (iii) The accident involves only minor damage to the POV and the 
vehicle can be safely and normally driven from the scene.
    (2) Information in the written report cannot be used in criminal 
proceedings against the person submitting it. Within the United States, 
the installation law enforcement official may require such reporting on 
Service forms or forms of the State jurisdiction.
    (3) Reports required in paragraph (d)(1) of this section will 
include the following about the accident:
    (i) Location, date, and time.
    (ii) Identification of all drivers, pedestrians, and passengers

including a sketch of the collision and roadway with street names and 
north arrow.
    (v) Property damage involved.
    (vi) Environmental conditions at the time of the incident (weather, 
visibility, road surface condition, and other factors).
    (vii) Narrative description of the events and circumstances 
concerning the accident.
