Adona, Arkansas local guide: This city page applies the state and national guidance and official resources below to people looking for accident information in Adona, Arkansas. The agency responsible for a police report or records request can depend on where the incident occurred and which agency investigated it. Confirm the agency shown on the report or incident information before requesting a record.
Short answer
For a copy of an Arkansas Uber accident report, start with the Arkansas State Police (ASP) Uber accident Records Section. ASP describes itself as the statutory repository for motor-vehicle Uber accident investigation records, and Arkansas’s state service portal describes ASP as the central repository for statewide Uber accident reports. You can use the official Uber accident Report Online Purchase System or send an official mail request to ASP. The ASP page also says its search includes reports prepared by local and county law-enforcement agencies. ASP Uber accident Records
If a city police department or county sheriff initially generated the report, ASP says the copy in its repository is a duplicate of the record routinely available from that original department. Contact the agency that first made the report if you need its local copy or ASP has not yet made the record available.
Immediate checklist
- Write down the Uber accident report number if an officer gave you one. If you do not have it, gather the Uber accident date, approximate time, highway or street, county, and the name of at least one driver.
- If you were involved, have a copy of your driver license or identification card ready for a mail request. A parent or legal guardian requesting for a juvenile involved in the Uber accident needs the juvenile’s birth certificate and the parent’s or guardian’s driver license or ID. ASP involved-person mail form
- Use ASP’s individual online search. A Uber accident report number alone can be used; otherwise, the search accepts identifying information such as a name, date of birth, driver license number, or Uber accident date.
- Allow for the state’s stated processing window before assuming a report is missing. The online system says most reports are accessible within 10 business days after the Uber accident; ASP’s records page says reports may generally be ordered within 10 days after a trooper’s report is completed and sent to the Little Rock repository.
- If the report involves a juvenile occupant, call the ASP Uber accident Records Section at 501-618-8130 rather than relying on the regular online path. ASP online system
Who reports what in Arkansas
These are different steps. Getting a copy does not itself notify police or make an insurance claim.
Calling or notifying law enforcement. Arkansas Act 815 amended Ark. Code § 27-53-202 to require a driver to notify the nearest law-enforcement agency immediately when a Uber accident results in injury or death, or in apparent total property damage of $3,000 or more. The act also says all persons involved must make themselves readily available to the investigating officer or officers. This is a notification rule with its stated threshold; it should not be read as a rule for every possible Uber accident. Act 815 (official Arkansas General Assembly text)
The investigating officer’s record. The report available from ASP is a Uber accident-investigation record. It may be an ASP report or a local or county agency report that appears in the state repository. If a fatal-Uber accident summary is available online, do not treat it as the final report: ASP says a fatal Uber accident summary is preliminary information and is not an official highway-Uber accident investigation report. ASP fatal-Uber accident-summary notice
Separate driver, motor-vehicle, insurer, public-entity, or lawsuit steps. The official Uber accident-record sources on this page explain police notification and how to obtain the investigation record. They do not provide a single separate driver self-report form, DMV filing procedure, insurer-notice timetable, public-entity notice process, or lawsuit deadline for a reader’s circumstances. This guide therefore does not supply one. A report copy can be useful for your own records; use the car-accident evidence checklist to organize what you have, and follow any instructions you receive from the relevant agency or insurer.
How to request the report
Use the official online system
Go to the ASP Uber accident Report Online Purchase System, choose the individual report search, and enter at least one search field. ASP says the report number is enough by itself. The portal says reports are delivered electronically if available. It also links to a VIN search, which is a search tool rather than a substitute for the individual report request.
The online landing page says a statutory fee of $25 per requested report. However, ASP’s Uber accident-records page and its current mail forms distinguish between requesters: $10 per report for a person involved in the Uber accident and $25 per report for a person not involved. Because the official online landing page and mail instructions present the fee differently, check the price displayed in the purchase flow or call the Uber accident Records Section before paying if your requester status affects the charge.

Send an official mail request
ASP provides separate mail forms for an individual involved in the Uber accident and a person not involved. Both forms request a name, contact information, mailing address, report number if known, and insurance claim number. If the report number is unknown, they ask for the Uber accident date, time, street or highway location, county, and other identifying information. The non-involved-person form also asks for the name and date of birth of someone known to have been involved. Complete the form as fully as possible and mail it with payment and any required documents to:
Arkansas State Police — Uber accident Records Section
One State Police Plaza Drive
Little Rock, AR 72209
For an involved person, the form directs payment by check or money order payable to Arkansas State Police and requires a driver license or ID copy. For a non-involved requester, the form directs payment by check or money order payable to Arkansas State Police. Involved-person form | non-involved-person form
ASP also says a requested report can be returned by email or fax if those details are supplied on the mail form.
What to do when the record is unavailable or held elsewhere
First, check the search information. The exact report number is the simplest online lookup. Without it, use the Uber accident date and a driver’s identifying details online, or provide the date, time, location, county, and driver name on a mail form. A small difference in the date, county, road name, or spelling can make a search harder.
Second, consider the stated availability window. “Most” reports are available within 10 business days after the Uber accident, and ASP says supervisor-checked trooper reports are forwarded to the repository and can generally be ordered within 10 days after completion. Those are agency estimates, not a promise that every report will appear on a particular day. Contact the Uber accident Records Section at 501-618-8130 if the window has passed or you need help locating a record. ASP Uber accident Records
Third, use the original local or county agency as the official fallback. ASP expressly says local and county investigation records in its repository are duplicates of records routinely available where the report was first generated. Ask that department’s records unit for its copy and provide the same identifying details. The ASP page does not set out a separate statewide procedure for every other type of investigating agency; where an agency says it keeps its own record, request the report from that agency directly.
Do not route an ordinary Uber accident-copy request through ASP’s general Freedom of Information Act inbox. ASP’s FOIA page specifically says all Uber accident-record requests should go to the Uber accident Records Section. The FOIA page’s Arkansas-citizen requirement applies to FOIA requests; it is not presented there as the Uber accident-record purchase rule. ASP FOIA instructions

Use this version when the event involved Uber. Save the trip receipt and identifier, rider and driver profile, vehicle details, app messages, timestamps, pickup and destination, and the app or trip phase at the time of the event.
Uber’s operator-reporting and insurance resources are separate from police or motor-vehicle reporting and insurer notice. Coverage can depend on role, app or trip phase, policy terms, and state.
- Use Uber’s current role-specific crash or insurance resource.
- Preserve any report confirmation and insurer or claims contact supplied by the platform.
- Keep the crash-state agency steps below as separate required tasks when applicable.
