    When any vehicle for hire is involved in an accident or collision that results in any injury or damage to any person or property, including, but not limited to, damage to the vehicle for hire or injury of the licensee or a passenger, the licensee shall report the accident or collision to the permittee without delay. The permittee shall keep on the permittee's premises records of all accidents and collisions upon forms to be promulgated by the director, which shall include the following information:

    (1)

    The permittee's and the licensee's names;

    (2)

    The licensee's driver license number;

    (3)

    The time and location of the accident or collision; and

    (4)

    A detailed description of any injury or damage to any person or property involved in the accident or collision.

    (b)

    A permittee shall report any accident or collision to the director not later than five business days after the accident or collision. Upon one hour's prior request by the director during normal business hours, the permittee shall make the records available to the director for inspection and copying.

    (c)

    A vehicle for hire involved in an accident shall not thereafter be placed in service and used in operation as a vehicle for hire until it has been inspected by the director. If the director's inspection reveals that the vehicle for hire has been damaged to an extent that it is not in a reasonably good operating condition from the standpoint of the safety, health and comfort of passengers, the director shall order the vehicle for hire out of service until the director has authorized the return of the vehicle for hire to operations, which authorization shall not be given until proper repairs or corrections have been made and the vehicle for hire is inspected and meets all applicable minimum operation requirements prescribed by this chapter.
