COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- Icy conditions and large amounts of deep snow contribute Wednesday morning to Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD) declaring a state of "cold reporting" -- also called accident alert status -- for traffic crashes.

This means drivers are reminded if they are involved in a traffic crash, as follows:

* With no fatality or injury requiring medical attention

* No driver involved is suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and

* No damage to public property such as a street sign or utility pole has occurred,

drivers should exchange information and follow the procedure for completing a counter (cold) report.

Drivers can either pick up a traffic accident report form at any of the police department substations or go online at www.springsgov.com, click on the the CSPD home page/Forms & Documents/Counter Reporting.
