1. A method of wirelessly reporting a vehicle accident, the method comprising:
- establishing a short range communication link between a mobile unit and a vehicle communication system comprising a microprocessor and a transceiver;
determining, by the microprocessor, if the short range communication link is authorized;
determining, by the microprocessor, that an accident occurred;
sending, by the microprocessor and the transceiver, through the mobile unit, a communication to an emergency services personnel, the communication comprising the position of the vehicle and identification information; and
receiving, by the microprocessor, through the mobile unit, a voice communication from the emergency services personnel, thereby confirming the communication was received.
