Abstract
A vehicle accident reporting system and method identifies, using a sudden event detection processor operatively coupled to non-transient storage and an accelerometer in a vehicle, a sudden event when a measured acceleration of the vehicle sensed by the accelerometer exceeds either a predefined maximum acceleration or a predefined maximum deceleration indicative of an accident. A notification is transmitted, using the sudden event detection processor, over a network to an accident management hub that a sudden event has occurred. A prompt is transmitted over the network to a mobile device associated with an owner or operator of the vehicle, the prompt requesting that the owner or operator photograph a license plate of any other vehicle involved in the accident and record video of the accident scene. The requested image of the license plate and video of the accident scene is receiving from the mobile device.
