All Halton Region Collision Reporting Centres
Halton Regional Police operates three Collision Reporting Centres across the region. You must report at the CRC in the municipality where the accident occurred — not necessarily the one closest to your home. However, ASSI notes you can also attend any operational CRC location in the region.
The Burlington CRC is the best alternative when the Oakville location is closed. It offers the longest operating hours and is open on weekends and statutory holidays.
When Are You Required to Report a Collision in Oakville?
Under Ontario’s Highway Traffic Act, you are legally required to report a collision to police if any of the following apply:
This is the combined damage to all vehicles and property involved. Updated from $2,000 as of January 2025.
Even minor injuries like neck stiffness or dizziness must be reported. Call 911 immediately if anyone is hurt.
Includes impaired driving, hit and run, assault, stolen vehicle involvement, or leaving the scene.
Traffic lights, guardrails, fences, signposts, or utility poles damaged in the collision.
All pedestrian and cyclist collisions must be reported regardless of damage amount.
⚠️ Legal Warning: Failing to report a collision when required is an offence under the Highway Traffic Act. Even if the damage appears minor, it’s safer to report — the other driver could file a claim later, and having no report on file puts you at a disadvantage. For full details, visit the official Halton Regional Police — Report a Collision page.
What to Bring to the Collision Reporting Centre in Oakville
Arriving at the collision reporting centre in Oakville without the right documents wastes time and may mean a second trip. Here’s your complete checklist:
🪪
Driver’s Licence
Valid Ontario driver’s licence for all drivers involved
📄
Vehicle Registration (Ownership)
The vehicle permit for each vehicle involved
🩷
Proof of Insurance (Pink Slip)
Your current insurance card or pink slip — expired slips are not accepted
📋
Other Driver’s Information
Name, licence number, insurance details, plate number of other vehicles
📸
Photos & Evidence
Photos of damage, the scene, road conditions, and licence plates
🚗
Your Damaged Vehicle
During business hours, your vehicle must be present at the CRC for photos
Ideally, both parties involved in the collision should attend the CRC at the same time — this speeds up the reporting process significantly.
The Collision Reporting Process — Step by Step
Not sure what to expect when you arrive at the collision reporting centre in Oakville? Here’s the complete process:
Visit the Halton Police online collision reporting tool from your phone or computer before arriving. This pre-fills your information and saves time at the CRC.
Drive or have your vehicle towed to the CRC. Bring your licence, ownership, insurance, and all collision details. During business hours, the vehicle must be present.
A CRC officer will conduct a private interview about the collision. You’ll describe what happened, provide details about the other driver, and review your documentation.
CRC staff will photograph the damage to your vehicle. This becomes part of your official collision report and is shared with your insurance company.
You’ll receive a driver’s copy of the collision report free of charge. This document is essential for your insurance claim. A full police report copy costs approximately $59.89 if needed later.
The entire process typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on how busy the centre is and whether both parties are present.
Towing Your Vehicle to the Collision Reporting Centre
If your vehicle can’t be driven after the accident, you’ll need a tow truck to bring it directly to the collision reporting centre in Oakville. This is a legal requirement during CRC business hours.
During Business Hours (Mon–Fri 10 AM – 6 PM)
Your damaged vehicle must be towed directly from the accident scene to the CRC. Do not have it towed home or to a repair shop first — doing so could complicate your collision report and insurance claim.
After Hours, Weekends & Holidays
If the accident happens when the CRC is closed, you can have your vehicle towed to the location of your choice — your home, a secure storage facility, or a body shop. You then have 72 hours to bring your vehicle to the CRC during the next available business hours for photographs and reporting.
Towing Oakville provides accident towing 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We know the CRC process inside and out and will take your vehicle exactly where it needs to go. We also offer insurance towing with direct billing — meaning no out-of-pocket cost for most drivers.
💡 Pro Tip: We recommend flatbed towing for all accident-damaged vehicles. Hidden damage to the suspension, axles, or drivetrain can be worsened by wheel-lift towing. Flatbed transport keeps all four wheels off the ground for safe delivery to the CRC.

Starting Your Collision Report Online Before You Visit
Halton Regional Police allows you to start your collision report online before visiting the collision reporting centre in Oakville. This pre-fills your information and significantly reduces wait time.
To start your online report:
- Visit the Halton Police — Report a Collision page
- Click the online collision reporting link
- Enter your personal details, vehicle information, and accident description
- Submit the form — you’ll receive a confirmation
- Attend the CRC in person with your vehicle and documents to complete the process
⚠️ Important: Starting the report online does not replace the in-person visit. You must still attend the CRC with your vehicle during business hours for photos and final processing. The online form simply speeds up the process once you arrive.
What Happens After You File Your Collision Report
Once you’ve completed the reporting process at the collision reporting centre in Oakville, here’s what comes next:
Contact Your Insurance Company
Call your insurance provider as soon as possible — Ontario regulations recommend within seven days, but sooner is always better. Your insurer will assign a claims adjuster who reviews the collision report, assesses damage, and determines fault based on Ontario’s Fault Determination Rules.
Get Your Vehicle to a Repair Shop
After reporting, you have the legal right to choose your own body shop or mechanic. If your vehicle is still at the CRC, our towing team can move it to the repair facility of your choice. We also offer long-distance towing if your preferred shop is outside Oakville.
See a Doctor
Even if you feel fine, visit your doctor or a walk-in clinic within 24–48 hours. Injuries like whiplash and concussions often have delayed symptoms. Medical documentation protects your right to accident benefits under Ontario’s insurance system.
Obtain Your Full Police Report (If Needed)
The free driver’s copy you receive at the CRC includes basic collision details. If you need a full certified police report — for a lawsuit, legal proceedings, or detailed records — you can request one from Halton Regional Police for approximately $59.89.
Other Roadside Services After an Accident in Oakville
Beyond accident towing to the CRC, you may need additional roadside assistance depending on your situation:
- Flatbed towing — safest option for collision-damaged vehicles
- Breakdown towing — if your car won’t start after the collision
- Battery boost — if the impact drained or disconnected your battery
- Tire change — if tires were damaged in the collision
- Car unlocking — if keys are trapped inside after the crash
- Winching recovery — if your vehicle went off-road or into a ditch
We cover all of Oakville and the surrounding service area, including Burlington, Milton, and Mississauga.
