Why does the officer's accident report depict something different than what I told him/her?
An officer investigating a crash has many things to consider before completing a FR300 to DMV. The officer has to consider driver and witness statements, physical evidence such as skid marks and damage to vehicles and property. Investigating officers examine the angles at which vehicles collide, skid marks, hills and curves in the roadway etc. All of these factors influence what the officer reports in the FR300.
