WAC 132N-156-440   Traffic accidents.  Persons involved in traffic accidents on college property are to report the accident to the security/safety office. Security personnel will investigate the incident and, in the case of injury, extensive property damage, apparent criminal activity, or unusual circumstances, file an accident report. In addition, RCW 46.52.030 requires that accidents on college property involving injury or property damage in excess of five hundred dollars be reported to local law enforcement agencies within twenty-four hours. Security officers are authorized to obtain and share with all parties to an accident information on the insurance coverage of the parties.

     Nothing in this section should be interpreted so as to delay the immediate reporting of traffic accidents which involve injury or loss of life to appropriate noncollege authorities.
