Unless the police officer witnessed the accident, he will need a witness to prove the citation.

First of all, I hope that your wife is all right. Depending upon what happened in the crash, it sounds as if your wife may have a pretty good injury claim against the other driver's insurance. As far as the ticket goes, you should probably get a lawyer in your area who deals with a lot of tickets. He can probably resolve the situation with your wife paying court costs and the court withholding any adjudication of guilt. Our office handles a lot of injury claims. We would be happy to speak with you about the situation. We offer a free initial consultation.
