ATLANTA — Calling the police in the wake of a car wreck is a common action that won’t be so common anymore in Atlanta.
The Atlanta Police Department will no longer be responding on-scene to calls regarding traffic accidents unless there are injuries, WSB-TV reported.
City officials announced the decision Thursday via social media.
Motorists who are involved in car accidents are to fill out an online form with details of the incident.
“To protect the health and safety of our staff and customers, and to help mitigate the impact of COVID-19, the Atlanta Police Department will not be dispatched to the scene of non-injury automobile accidents,” the announcement reads.
The move is a temporary one, WSB-TV reported.
