In Las Vegas, who has your crash report depends on which agency came. Nevada State Police Highway Patrol keeps the reports its troopers write, and its Southern Command office covers the Las Vegas area. After a crash, move somewhere safe and call 911 if anyone is hurt. Trade names, plates and insurance. Write down the crash number and photograph both cars.

Which agency has your report depends on who came to the scene and on the road where the crash happened. Here is where to start in the Las Vegas area.
01
Nevada law says no report goes to the DMV when a police officer investigated the crash and that officer's report lists the insurance company, the policy number and the coverage dates for everyone involved. So the first question is whether an officer worked your crash.
Nevada Legislature02
Nevada State Police asks for the crash number, the last name of a person in the crash, and the date of the crash. Its crash numbers start with the letters NHP. Look on the paper or card the officer handed you at the scene.
Nevada State Police Highway Patrol03
Nevada State Police points you to an online crash report site and lists a fee on its page. Reports are not posted the same day, so check back if yours is not there yet. For a fatal crash or for crash photos, the page says to contact the regional office.
Nevada State Police Highway Patrol04
The Nevada State Police Southern Command office sits on Bermuda Road in Las Vegas. Its page says that office covers Las Vegas, Boulder City, Laughlin and Searchlight, and it keeps weekday hours. That is the office to contact about a fatal crash report or crash photos.
Nevada State Police Highway Patrol05
The Nevada DMV form SR-1, Report of Traffic Crash, covers a crash in Nevada that law enforcement did not investigate at the scene. The form lists what has to be attached and where to mail it. Read the official form before you fill anything in.
Nevada Department of Motor VehiclesAgencies change their forms, portals and fees. Open the linked page before you pay for anything, and keep a copy of every request you send.
Federal fatal-crash counts, 2022 to 2024
That is 66.1% of every fatal crash the federal file records in the state over the same three years.
These are crashes in which at least one person died within 30 days, as counted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. They are not a count of all crashes, injuries, insurance claims or lawsuits, and most crashes are not in this file at all.
The counts are not adjusted for population, road miles or how much people drive, so they cannot say one place is more dangerous than another. A crash appearing here does not show who was at fault, whether anyone was insured or whether anyone has a claim.
