Cambria County Accident Reports

Start with the agency that responded. If the Pennsylvania State Police investigated your Cambria County crash, request the report through the official State Police channel linked above — the fee is $22 and reports are generally not available until 15 days after the crash. If a borough, township, or city police department responded, that department's records unit holds the report, and its fee and turnaround are set locally.

In Cambria County, crashes on US-219, US-22, PA-56 and other state-maintained highways are frequently State Police investigations, while collisions inside Johnstown and the surrounding boroughs are usually handled by municipal police.

A Cambria County injury suit is filed with the Prothonotary of the Court of Common Pleas, the 47th Judicial District, at Cambria County Courthouse, 200 South Center Street, Ebensburg, PA 15931 (814-472-2173). Bring the report's incident number with you; it is the identifier every later record request keys on.

Whichever agency responded, keep the exchange-of-information slip the officer gave you at the scene. It carries the incident number and the department name, and it is the fastest route to the correct records unit.
