Cumberland County accident questions
Can I get my Cumberland County accident report online?
Yes. Vineland and Millville use CrashDocs, Bridgeton uses BuyCrash, and the townships use the $13 State Police portal. Millville says about five days; the State Police portal says up to 14 business days.
Are accident reports public record in NJ?
The basic police crash report is. The State Police portal calls "the basic crash investigation report" a public record, but not the serious or fatal investigation files. Who can request what is in our New Jersey accident report guide.
What if police did not come to my accident?
The police report is the NJTR-1, which only officers fill in. Without one, file NJDOT's SR-1 self-report (rules below). Insurance and deadlines are on the New Jersey car accident help hub.
What these numbers can and cannot tell you
The counts on this page are police-reported car accidents from NJDOT crash records, analyzed by us. They show where and when accidents where someone was hurt happened in Cumberland County. They do not show who was at fault in any accident, and they say nothing about whether you have a claim or what it could be worth.
Rules that apply anywhere in New Jersey
- Your own auto policy's PIP pays eligible medical expenses "no matter who caused the auto accident," up to your policy's limit and after its deductible and co-pay. If you chose your health insurance as primary, it pays first and PIP pays second. A claim against the other driver for pain and suffering is separate: it depends on fault and on the lawsuit option on your policy. 13
- Being partly at fault does not stop you from recovering, as long as your share is not greater than the other driver's, or the combined share of all the drivers you claim against (the "51 percent" rule). Your damages are reduced by your share. 14
- If someone is hurt or killed, or property damage to any one person is over $500, the driver must tell the police right away and send a written report to the Motor Vehicle Commission within 10 days, unless a police officer files one. If police did not investigate, New Jersey's SR-1 self-reporting form is the form for that. 15
- An injury lawsuit generally must be filed within two years, and a claim against a public body (a town, the state, NJ Transit) needs a written notice within 90 days. These are general rules with exceptions; check your own dates with a lawyer. 16
Next steps: how to get your New Jersey accident report, agency by agency, and how New Jersey no-fault (PIP) insurance works after an accident. This is general information, not legal advice.

How we counted
- Injury accident: a police-reported crash in which someone was hurt or killed. NJDOT records 2023 to 2025, fatal crashes added from the State Police feed (6 November 2026).
- 2025 is preliminary (county total 1.041 times 2024). Bridgeton 2023 is mostly missing, so 2023 totals for Bridgeton, Route 49 and Route 77 run low.
- The station field is read as a State Police unit. Station, corner and cross-street tables use 2024 and 2025.
- Merged spellings: Delsea and Landis 2+1+3+3+1+1 = 11, Bluebird 8+2 = 10, Route 47 Landis 12+8+4+3 = 27.
- Roads table: every route 47 record (974); the Route 47 section needs a state road name (973). Route 540 joins 39 County-coded and 40 other records.
