Best Answer

Unless the accident required further investigation, i.e. there was a traffic death or the accident occurred during the comission of a crime, the report should be turned in at the end of the day. It might still have to be approved by the officer's supervisor and go through records, so it could be about three business days before a copy of the report is available to the public.

Absolutely they will want a police report. Not only that but they will also insist that you press charges unless you decide that you did give him permission to use the vehicle. If you gave him permission the accident will count against you and your policy. If you press charges, then it will not count against you.
