If I have a minor accident, do I have to wait for the police to arrive?

Technically, no, unless the total property damage is $1,000 or more. You do have an obligation to provide your insurance information to the other driver or owner of the property that was damaged. However, the Owatonna Police Department encourages you to report the accident and wait for an officer.
