COMMISSION -- REPORT BY UTILITY. The commission shall investigate the cause of
all accidents occurring within this state upon the property of any public
utility or directly or indirectly arising from or connected with its
maintenance or operation, resulting in loss of life or injury to person or
property and requiring, in the judgment of the commission, investigation by
it, and shall have the power to make such order or recommendation with respect
thereto as in its judgment may seem just and reasonable: provided, that
neither the order or recommendation of the commission, nor any accident report
filed with the commission, shall be admitted as evidence in any action for
damages based on or arising out of the loss of life, or injury to person or
property in this section referred to. Every public utility is hereby required
to file with the commission, under such rules and regulations as the
commission may prescribe, a report of each accident so occurring of such kinds
or classes as the commission may from time to time designate.
