Reporting A Snowmobile Crash Incident

A "reportable" snowmobile crash incident is any incident (regardless of the number of snowmobiles involved) which results in a fatality or an injury that requires medical treatment by a physician.

Wisconsin law requires every snowmobile operator involved in a "reportable" incident to report the incident without delay to law enforcement officials. In addition, within 10 days of the incident, the operator must submit a written report on Form 4100-174 (PDF, 26KB) to the Department of Natural Resources.

If you are unable to download the pdf form above, forms are also available from DNR offices, sheriff's departments and many local police departments. Additionally, forms may be requested at the address below or by e-mail.

Mail completed forms to:

Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources
Safety Section - LE/8
P.O. Box 7921
Madison, WI 53707

Failure to comply with the reporting requirements is punishable by a penalty up to $326.

Pursuant to Section 350.15(4)), Wis. Stats., this report may not be used as evidence in a trial.
