Which Incidents the FHP Feed May Omit

Why Florida Crash Watch must not be treated as a complete census of Florida crashes.

Editorial starter: review this page against current source behavior and the site’s approved policies before enabling search indexing.

Florida Crash Watch monitors selected public Florida Highway Patrol live incident feeds. An event that never appears in those feeds cannot be detected by this system. The feeds may also change, be delayed, become temporarily unavailable, or omit fields needed for publication.

Coverage can differ by investigating agency, road jurisdiction, reporting workflow, incident age, and source availability. Local police, sheriff, fire-rescue, medical examiner, and other agency records are outside the live-source boundary for this version of the site.

Accordingly, the absence of a page is not evidence that a crash did not happen. The public source-status page shows recent polling health and repeats this coverage limitation.
