A driver involved in an accident, including any damage to a vehicle while the vehicle is moving or not moving, while operating a government or Tribal vehicle owned, rented, leased, or otherwise, must ensure that the following procedures are followed:
Stop and identify himself or herself to other party.
If this is not possible because the other party is not present, or if there is no other party because the accident is damage of any kind to the government or Tribal vehicle, the following steps for reporting the accident/damage shall still be followed, then complete the Tulalip Tribes Accident Report Form:
The Tulalip Tribes Accident Form is attached to these regulations and can be found in the glove compartment of the vehicle. Record the date, time, and location of the accident, names and addresses of occupants of other vehicle(s), description and license numbers of other vehicle(s) involved, the name of the driver’s insurance company and policy number, and the names and addresses and telephone numbers of any witnesses. Describe how the accident happened and submit the Accident Report Form immediately to the TLD.
Do not give any statements or discuss who is responsible for the accident with anyone other than the law enforcement authorities. If the accident is serious and/or there are bodily injuries, notify the Tulalip Tribes Police Department, or, if off-Reservation, the appropriate law enforcement agency.
