If a truck deliberately hits a motorcycle, how is this crash categorized on a UD-10?

Reportable as a traffic crash
Considered intentional and reportable as felonious assault
Reportable as reckless driving
Not reportable as it was intentional

The correct answer is: Not reportable as it was intentional

When categorizing a crash on a UD-10, intentional acts, such as a truck deliberately hitting a motorcycle, generally fall outside the typical definitions of a reportable traffic crash. The UD-10 form, used in Michigan for reporting traffic crashes, seeks to capture incidents that arise from non-intentional driving behaviors. In this scenario, since the act of hitting the motorcycle is deliberate, it is categorized as intentional rather than accidental or negligent driving. As a result, this specific type of incident might not be included in the standard traffic crash reports. Therefore, indicating that it is "not reportable as it was intentional" would be the appropriate classification, aligning with the understanding that intentional actions do not meet the requirements for traditional traffic crash reporting.
