For State of Michigan employees:

In the event of an accident while operating a state vehicle, it is important to document as much information as possible. The Maintenance Assistance Program (MAP) guide, which is typically stored in the state vehicle’s glovebox, provides details regarding the information that should be documented. This information is needed when filing a police report.

Following an accident, the state employee driver must:

  1. Immediately contact the nearest police department to report the accident.

    If police cannot respond to the scene of the accident, the state employee driver must go to the nearest police station to file a report. If police are not able to take a report, due to jurisdictional issues or otherwise, the state employee driver must document the circumstances in a written statement. Reimbursement for any fee(s) paid to obtain a copy of a police report must be requested from your agency/department, through the travel reimbursement process.

  2. Send a copy of the police report (via mail or fax) to:

    Wheels, Inc.
    c/o State of Michigan Repair Services Collision Management
    666 Garland Place
    Des Plaines, IL 60016
    Fax: 847-699-8491

  3. Report the accident to the Fleet Services Collision Center at 1-800-937-8149.
    The Collision Center will:
    • Obtain information about the accident over the phone to complete a crash report
    • Assess damages to the state vehicle and determine the necessary repair actions
    • Arrange towing services, if needed, for the state vehicle • Identify a repair service vendor
