The Kansas Highway Patrol releases crash report information under the Kansas Open Records Act, K.S.A. 45-215 et seq. The public can copy or print these documents. However, to protect personal privacy, the Act allows withholding private information if disclosure would be an unwarranted invasion of privacy (K.S.A. 45-221(a)(30)). In fatal crashes, victim names are withheld until next of kin are notified. Official crash reports are available online at https://www.kansas.gov/accident-reports/ or through the Kansas Highway Patrol General Headquarters Records section. The specific address for the Kansas Highway Patrol General Headquarters Records section is available on their website.
