I was recently in an accident in which my car was driven into a ditch. I got a ride home from a friend. I was later contacted by an officer who came accross my car later that day. The officer riffled through the contents of my car and cited me fo failure to have control of a vehicle. The following Wisconsin state statute was cited in the ticket along with a city ordinance which is not published on the internet.
My question is can I be cited for this violation if the office never actually witnessed the accident. Also the only evidence he has of my accidents is what I told him on the phone. There were no other witnesses he contacted. In addition the ticket falsley stated my VIN and color of the car.
Any suggestions?
Thank you for your time.
