π IMPD changed how it handles fender benders in Indianapolis.
As of October 5, if your crash involves no injuries and less than $2,500 in property damage, you call IMPD's non-emergency line (317-327-3811). Instead of sending an officer, dispatch texts you a link so you and the other driver can trade information and get off the roadside.
Attorney Matt Boulton believes it's a good change for a true fender bender, but the catch is that you have to decide at the curb whether anyone is hurt and whether the damage is under $2,500.
β οΈ Of course, if anyone might be hurt, always call 911, and if you wake up sore the next day, be sure to see a doctor.
