Colorado police to track cell phone involvement in crashes
Wednesday, January 17, 2007
According to a Rocky Mountain News article:
Drivers who chat on cell phones be warned: The Colorado State Patrol is now asking drivers involved in fatal, serious injury and even fender- bender crashes whether a cell phone was in use.

The new information will go on the accident report form, helping the State Patrol, insurers and lawmakers determine if cell phone use while driving poses a public safety issue, said Gil Mares of the State Patrol.

While most drivers tell the truth, Mares said, cell phone records have been subpoenaed in lawsuits in other states where cell phone use was suspected as a cause, he said.
This is a step that needs to be taken by Missouri as well.
