Hello-
Just to clarify, are you saying you cannot provide these crash reports? Thank you.
From: Clark, Jennifer
Mr. Simonite,
I can get the crash reports for you. They will be $10.00 each and I would need payment before I can provide them. Once payment is received I could then mail the reports to you. You can mail a check or money order, payable to Department of Highway Safety, to my attention at Office of General Counsel, 2900 Apalahcee Pkwy., Room A432, MS 2, Tallahassee, FL 32399.
Or, if you go to www.buycrash.com<http://www.buycrash.com> you could get the reports today.
Thanks,
Jennifer Clark
