Utah Investigating Officer’s Report of Traffic Crash (DI‑9) Explained
Form overview
The Utah DI‑9 crash report is issued by the Utah Department of Public Safety and is a multi‑page document that uses an accompanying overlay to translate numerous numbered boxes into meaningful data. A 2021 article on how to read a Utah accident report notes that the form is officially called the Utah Investigating Officer’s Report of Traffic Crash (DI‑9 Report Form)【894214089439754†L13-L22】. Officers must complete this form whenever a crash causes more than \$1,000 in property damage or results in injury or death【894214089439754†L15-L22】. The DI‑9 form is designed to collect detailed information about the crash scene, vehicles, occupants, and contributing factors while also providing space for narrative description and witness information. Utah’s crash reporting system relies on overlay sheets that contain all the codes needed to complete the DI‑9 form【894214089439754†L56-L86】. Each numbered box on the report corresponds to a code describing a specific attribute, such as crash severity, vehicle body type or driver contributing circumstances. The overlay ensures that officers select from a standardized set of options, which improves data quality and makes it possible to aggregate crash statistics statewide. The overlay is also updated periodically to reflect new vehicle technologies and changes in traffic laws.
Section breakdown
The DI‑9 cannot be fully understood without its overlay code sheets. Each numbered box on the form corresponds to a code explained on the overlay. For example, the code sheet lists all possible vehicle maneuvers, driver contributing circumstances, roadway surface types, non‑motorist actions and lighting conditions. When an officer marks a code next to a numbered box, they must consult the overlay to select the correct value. The overlay is printed on translucent paper so it can be aligned over the report during data entry. This design minimizes ambiguity and makes it easier to feed the information into electronic databases. In addition to the overlay, Utah provides an instruction manual that explains how to complete each field, defines terms and clarifies common misunderstandings. Supplemental forms are available for crashes involving more than two vehicles, additional occupants or witnesses, and commercial vehicles transporting hazardous materials. These supplements ensure that the crash record is complete even in complex multi‑vehicle incidents.
Page 1 – Crash severity, vehicle details and initial codes
Page 1 of the DI‑9 contains a series of numbered boxes running along the border. These boxes are used to describe fundamental aspects of the crash. According to the Law.com guide, the boxes on page 1 encode information such as crash severity, motor vehicle body type, trailing units, cargo body type, special function of the motor vehicle, area of initial impact, most damaged area, vehicle deformity, suspected alcohol or drug use, alcohol or drug test status, test results, work zone type, work zone location, direction of vehicle travel, vehicle contributing circumstances, driver condition, driver contributing circumstances, vehicle maneuver, driver distraction, traffic control device, roadway description, manner of collision and roadway contributing circumstances【894214089439754†L56-L86】. Each of these items is selected from the overlay sheet using a two‑digit code. For instance, crash severity codes distinguish between property‑damage‑only crashes, injury crashes and fatal crashes, while vehicle body type codes differentiate between passenger cars, pickups, SUVs and motorcycles. The top of page 1 also includes a time section where the investigating officer records the exact time of the crash, and a location section that identifies the county, city or milepost where the crash occurred【894214089439754†L90-L95】. Beneath these sections is a detailed area for vehicle information. Here the officer lists each vehicle’s year, make, model, license plate number, number of occupants, and the driver’s name and contact information【894214089439754†L97-L101】. If a driver receives a citation, the citation number is recorded in this area. There is also space to note insurance information and whether the driver was tested for alcohol or drugs. For crashes involving commercial vehicles, page 1 includes a commercial vehicle information box. This captures the carrier’s name, U.S. DOT number, cargo body type and hazardous materials information【894214089439754†L97-L105】. A separate section near the bottom records non‑vehicle property damage, such as damage to guardrails or utility poles, along with estimated costs【894214089439754†L110-L112】. Finally, page 1 lists the names and contact information of any witnesses and provides checkboxes for the officer to indicate whether photographs or videos were taken【894214089439754†L114-L117】. At the bottom, the officer notes whether this is the original report, an additional persons report, a supplemental report or an amended report【894214089439754†L120-L124】. This classification helps record‑keepers track updates to the initial crash report.
Page 2 – Environmental conditions and non‑motorist information
The second page of the DI‑9 continues the numbered boxes and focuses on environmental and non‑motorist factors. It includes codes for visual contributing circumstances (such as glare or obstruction), weather conditions, lighting conditions, roadway surface conditions, roadway or junction feature, road jurisdiction, non‑motorist actions, non‑motorist contributing circumstances, non‑motorist location, horizontal alignment, vertical alignment, pavement type, and location of first harmful event【894214089439754†L131-L149】. These codes allow researchers to understand not just what vehicles did but also how road design and environmental conditions influenced the crash. Below the code boxes, page 2 provides lines for the officer to describe additional sequence of events or to list events that occurred after the initial impact (for example, secondary collisions or vehicles leaving the roadway). There is also space to record injury details for each occupant, including seating position, safety equipment use and ejection. If the crash involved pedestrians or bicyclists, their actions and locations are recorded here. The bottom of page 2 includes fields for officers to certify the report, including signature lines for the investigating officer and the supervisor who reviews the report.【894214089439754†L131-L149】
