All information in this thread will contain information about general road closures, accident alerts and chain laws. Specific information about accidents can be found here.....

Those incidents do get their own thread unless we have several incidents in one location. Those situation are combined in an effort to keep the board running efficiently.
Perhaps we could add this information to our scanner thread above.
Would that be a better way to get info?

Well, see, the Traffic, Cams, & Road Conditions is actually like a "Super Sticky" (which is only a thread that is kept at the top of whichever forum it is located within, regardless of activity - ie, it doesn't need to be posted in to be bumped to the top) - it's only a thread, not a forum in which we can start multiple threads within it. We started it to have a quick and handy reference to the most used webcams on the first page (Conifer Marketplace, high school, highways) & variable message signs on 285 & C-470, and also for our members ourselves to have a common place in which to post what they themselves experienced while driving (which would then show up on the most recent page(s)) since we have the individual incidents that are official from the scanners in their forum. Did I explain that well enough? My apologies, I'm overly tired at the moment and not thinking too clearly. Basically, we can't start a new thread within a thread, but let us think over how we might be able to more effectively organize the information that comes in during an event. Thanks for spelling it out better for us to finally get it!

I get it now. When I saw the "new topic" button I assumed it meant in the Traffic, etc., header, not in the Campfire. It makes sense now. Thanks.

This report should also be used when "Accident Alert" was in effect at the time the accident occurred. "Accident Alert" is defined as those times when weather conditions are so severe that State Troopers and Police Officers are unable to respond to the large volume of motor vehicle crashes. Accident Alert is initiated on a jurisdictional and geographical basis, in other words some cities may be on accident alert whereas others may not depending on how the weather conditions are affecting each jurisdiction. To find out if the location of your accident was on "Accident Alert" at the time of your accident, contact the law enforcement agency with jurisdiction over the location of your accident.

To file a report using the State of Colorado Online Accident Report, the accident must meet each of the following criteria:
· No fatality or injury requiring medical attention was sustained by any person(s) involved in the accident, and;
· The accident is not an alleged hit and run or it is an alleged hit and run, and there is no information on the other driver involved in the accident, and;
· The accident does not involve damage to any public property other than wildlife, and:
· No drivers involved in the accident are suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or have insurance or driver's license violations.

If the accident does not meet ALL of these above criteria, do not complete this report, click the "Cancel" button, below, and contact the law enforcement agency in whose jurisdiction the accident occurred for additional reporting instructions.
