"Due to icy roads and numerous crashes on the North and East sides of Colorado Springs," the Police Department has gone on accident alert status, police said.

When a crash happens while the Police Department is on accident alert status, motorists should exchange insurance information and file a report later.

The crash must fall under certain criteria, however: A report can be filed later if there is no injury requiring medical attention, if no driver is suspected of being under the influence of alcohol or drugs, if no driver fled the scene and if there is no damage to public property.
