The weather at the time of the accident was overcast. The road surface was dry. Beacon Street and Washington Street are both public ways maintained by the City of Newton. I spoke with the operator of MV1, Paige Mahoney (S85200426). Mahoney stated she was stopped in traffic at a red light on Beacon Street (W) at Washington Street in her 2018 black Volkswagon Tiguan (MA: 633MV6). Mahoney stated while her vehicle was at a complete stop, she felt and heard something hit the rear of her vehicle. Mahoney exited her vehicle and saw a bicyclist on the roadway. I observed minor damage to the rear middle bumper area of MV1. There was a small amount of blood present on the damaged area. I observed the roadway where the accident occurred. There was a small pool of blood in the left lane of Beacon Street (W) where the bicyclist fell to the roadway. The area of the roadway where the accident occurred is currently undergoing restoration and the asphalt has been graded down to it's sub base in preparation to be resurfaced. The current road surface condition is bumpy and uneven. The area where the roadway goes from a smooth surface to a bumpy surface is where the accident occurred. The injured bicyclist was identified as Timothy Johnson (S29270605). I spoke with him in the Newton Wellesley Hospital emergency room. Johnson stated he was operating his bicycle Westbound on Beacon Street on the right side of the left lane. Johnson stated he was coming to a stop in traffic at a red light when his wheel abruptly turned to the left and he began to fall over. Johnson stated his head hit the back of a vehicle stopped in front of him and he landed on his right side, with his bicycle landing on top of him. As a result of the accident, Johnson suffered an injury to the right side of his head and had scrapes on his right arm. Johnson stated he did not lose consciousness as a result of the accident and he appeared to be alert and orientated while I was speaking with him. Johnson was wearing a helmet at the time of the accident. There were fresh markings on the right side of the helmet with minor black paint transfer. These markings are consistent with Johnson's statement that he fell into the back of MV1 and hit his head. Johnson's bicycle was removed from the roadway prior to my arrival and was being stored in the driveway of 2044 Beacon Street by the resident there. I observed no obvious damage to Johnson's bicycle. After speaking with all parties involved and examining the roadway where the accident occurred, it appears that the condition of the road surface contributed to Johnson losing control of his bicycle and crashing into the rear bumper area of MV1 while it was stopped in traffic. Photos were taken of the road surface, John's bicycle, and MV2 and submitted to the IT Bureau.","[""Bike"", ""Crash"", ""Helmet"", ""Hospital"", ""Pictures""]",[],[],/static/reports/1900000754.pdf,/static/images/1900000754.png,"Beacon St & Washington St, Newton, MA 02462, USA",42.3300068,-71.2484874,0,2020-10-07T12:31:27.008125

Mike Wade of the Newton Police Traffic Bureau. Sgt. Wade stated a serious MVA/Bicycle crash had just occurred at the intersection of Cherry Street and Derby Street in Newton and the bicyclist was a 10-year-old boy with a possible head injury. Sgt. Wade stated the Traffic Bureau was requested to respond by the Shift Commander and asked if I could respond to investigate the crash. On arrival, Officers reported to me that the cyclist involved, Benjamin Lavoie, was transported to Children's Hospital in Boston with a possible head injury. It was reported to them that Benjamin was traveling Southbound on Cherry Street towards Derby Street on his bicycle. Benjamin entered the intersection of Derby Street and crashed into the front passenger side area of a passing motorist that had a green light. Officers on the scene also reported that the motor vehicle and the bicycle involved had been moved from their original rest location. Cherry Street is a public roadway maintained by the City of Newton. It supports two way travel (N and S) from Washington Street (S) to Waltham Street (N). The travel lanes are divided by an unprotected double yellow line median. The posted speed limit for this street is 25 miles per hour. Derby Street is a public roadway maintained by the City of Newton. It supports two way travel (E and W) from Waltham Street (E) to Lexington Street (W). The travel lanes are divided by an unprotected double yellow line median. The posted speed limit for this street is 25 miles per hour. The weather at the time of the crash was clear and sunny. The road surface in the immediate area of the crash was dry. I spoke with the operator of MV1, Ms. Erica Pusateri (S61409866). Ms. Pusateri stated he was operating her 2021 Kia Seltos (MA: 8HC743) Westbound on Derby Street towards Cherry Street. Ms. Pusateri stated that she had a green light at the intersection and proceeded to cross Cherry Street to continue onto Derby Street. Ms. Pusateri stated halfway through the intersection she heard a noise and saw a bicyclist hit the front passenger side door area of her vehicle. The collision caused the glass window from the front driver-side door to shatter. Ms. Pusateri's vehicle controlled her vehicle to a stop and she observed a young boy lying on the roadway in the intersection behind her. Ms. Pusateri exited her vehicle, ran over to the injured bicyclist, and rendered aid to him by stabilizing his neck. Ms. Pusateri remained on scene and cooperated fully with Officers. I asked Ms. Pusateri if she was distracted at all while operating her vehicle prior to the collison. Ms. Pusateri stated she was not. I asked Ms. Pusateri if she could recall where in the intersection the bicyclist crashed into her vehicle. Ms. Pusateri stated the bicyclist crashed into her vehicle in the Northwest side of Derby Street just outside of the marked crosswalk in the intersection. Ms. Pusateri stated she knows it was in the street in the intersection because she observed a woman with a stroller on the sidewalk on the corner of Cherry Street at Derby Street on the Franklin Elementary School side and she had already travelled through the intersection passed the East side of Cherry Street. Due to the unknown injury status of the bicyclist, Ms. Pusateri's vehicle was towed to the Newton Police Station and secured in the garage area as evidence. Ms. Pusateri reported a small laceration on her right hand with no other injuries. I observed damage to the front passenger side fender/door area. There was no airbag deployment as a result of the crash. I observed glass through out the front passenger side compartment area of the vehicle from the window breaking. I contacted Benjamin' s parents, Cheryl and John, to check on the status of their son. Cheryl stated Benjamin did not suffer any life-threatening injuries and appears to have bumps, bruises, and a cut on his head. I asked if I could speak with Benjamin for his account of what happened at the crash. Benjamin stated he was riding his bicycle on Cherry Street (Southbound) on the sidewalk on the East side of Cherry Street. Benjamin stated he left the sidewalk and entered the intersection to cross Derby Street and continue on Cherry Street. Benjamin acknowledged that at this time Cherry Street had a red light and Derby Street had a green light. Benjamin stated he then crashed into a passing car in the roadway. Benjamin was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash. The helmet had significant damage to it as a result of the collision. I told Benjamin his bicycle was being held at the Newton Police Department for safekeeping and we will arrange to get it back to him. Benjamin is a student at the Franklin Elementary School. I make contact with a witness to the crash, Mr. Benjamin Crosby. Mr. Crosby stated he did not witness the actual crash, just the aftermath. I was able to reviewthe 9-1-1 call Mr. Crosby made regarding the crash in Newton Disptach. Mr. Crosby stated a boy on a bicycle was in a crash with a motor vehicle. Mr. Crosby is heard saying ""he went through the light"" to the Dispatcher taking the call. After completing my investigation, I have summized the following. The bicyclist (Benjamin Lavoie) traveled down Cherry Street (S) and went through a red light to cross the intersection at Derby Street (W). As a result of traveling through the red light and entering the intersection, he crashed into the front passenger side door area of a passing motorist that had a green light (Erica Pusateri).

The weather at the time was clear and sunny (70 degrees) and the road conditions were dry. The accident location is a t type intersection with Brookside Avenue having a stop sign in order to turn onto Washington Street. Washington Street is a four lane road with a painted divider. There is no crosswalk at the intersection as it appears it was recently paved. On arrival, the accident scene was already clear as the bicyclist and his bicycle were waiting on the sidewalk. The motor vehicle involved was parked further back on Brookside Avenue away from the intersection. I spoke to the operator of the motor vehicle identified as Balarama Thavanati. He was operating a 2012 Toyota Camry color white bearing MA reg. # 44VN32. He states that he was operating southbound on Brookside Avenue and stopped at the stop sign at Washington Street. He was attempting to make a left turn onto Washington Street. He states that he inched out after because you can not see the vehicles approaching you. Next, a vehicle stopped on Washington Street to let him out and he thought it was clear never seeing the bicyclist on the right of him. He says the bicyclist approached him very fast and it appeared that he never stopped the bicycle prior to entering the street from the sidewalk. Once he attempted to pull out for the turn he then made contact with the bicycle on the left side. Thavanati pointed to the approximate location where the bicycle came to rest and it appears he was pushed forward approximately three feet from the impact. I observed black scrape marks on the right side of the front bumper which appear to be from the bicycle tires. At this time, the bicyclist, Jacob Harrison, was being tended to by Fallon Medics and Jacob's mother (Juliet Harrison) was already on scene. Jacob stated he was fine but since he was not wearing a helmet and hit his head on the pavement his mother had him transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital by Fallon Ambulance. After, I spoke to Jacob in the emergency room along with his parents. He sustained whiplash to his neck and a scrape to his right inner thigh area. I then asked him what had occurred during the collision. He states he was bicycling on the sidewalk eastbound on Washington Street. He says he stopped at Brookside Avenue and saw the Toyota Camry which was also stopped. He thought it was clear to proceed as if the vehicle was going to stay stopped. He then pedaled into the street and was struck by the Camry on the left side of his body. He fell down and he does not recall what else occurred as the incident happened so fast. The bicycle sustained damage to the front tire rim as it became bent. No other visible damage. At the time, Jacob was wearing black shorts and a white t-shirt with a red picture on it. He was not wearing a helmet and was going against the traffic on Washington Street. On scene there were three witnesses who were walking southbound on Brookside Avenue near Washington Street at the time of the crash. There names were Christine Butera, Marlene Austen, and Marta Travers. All three of them stated that the operator of the Toyota Camry was stopped on Brookside Avenue waiting to make the left turn. He then pulled out and in a split second the bicycle entered the intersection and was struck. They did not have the vantage point to see if the bicyclist ever stopped first before entering the roadway from the sidewalk.

At the time of the accident the weather was sunny and the road surface was dry. Both Cherry Street and Webster Street are owned and maintained by the City of Newton. While in route to the scene, units updated dispatch that the party was unconscious and not responding. Upon arrival I observed the bicyclist laying in the middle of the intersection being tended to by the medics. Medics on scene updated that the bicyclist was now conscious but was not alert and not responding to questions. Medics were able to locate a wallet and cell phone in his pocket and I was able to identify the bicyclist by his Mass License as Thanh Nguyen (S84815152). My first observations of the scene was that Mr. Nguyen was wearing a helmet at the time of the accident. I also observed his bicycle to be completely intact and the brakes functioning properly. The bicycle is a red Fifiel folding bicycle with a basket attached to the front. Inside the basket was a plastic bag containing recyclable cans. Also inside the basket was a bike lock and cable charger. Fastened on the handlebars of the bicycle with tape was a King meter reader. While the medics were preparing Mr. Nguyen for transport I spoke with the operator of the motor vehicle involved, identified by a Mass License as Jeffrey Carter (S21903831). Mr. Carter was visibly shaken up and very concerned about the bicyclist. Mr. Carter stated he was travelling eastbound on Webster Street and had the green light to cross over Cherry Street. He stated as he proceeded through, the bicyclist appeared out of nowhere very fast in the wrong lane and struck the front of his Ford F150 truck. Mr. Carter stated he immediately pulled over and tried to assist the bicyclist but he was not responsive. Mr. Carter stated he moved the bicycle to the side of the road to get it out of the way and waited for help to arrive. Mr. Carter stated his vehicle struck the bicyclist on his right side which caused him to fall to the ground and slide several feet. Mr. Carter stated the bicyclist did not come up onto the roof of his vehicle. He reported minor damage to the front grill and bumper of his truck. Mr. Carter stated he was not injured and signed a patient refusal on scene. His Ford F150 had minor front damage and was able to leave the scene. Sgt. Wade was on scene and speaking with a witness who was in the area walking her dog at the time of the accident. Kara Brewton stated she was walking on the sidewalk of Cherry Street, approaching Webster Street when she heard a loud pop sound. As she looked towards the sound she saw the bicycle and truck make contact and she remembers the red light was facing her on Cherry Street. Kara stated the truck had the green light and the bicycle had the red light at the time she heard and saw the crash. She stated she ran over to assist and dialed 911. She stated she observed the bicyclist with a helmet on at the time of the accident and he was not responsive. Several photos of the scene were taken and submitted to the IT Bureau. The bicycle was taken over to support services were it was logged into evidence for safe keeping. Property and evidence form was completed and submitted by Officer Gaudet. I responded to 223 River Street the residential address listed for Mr. Nguyen to notify his family of the accident but got no response. I was able to locate a phone number for his place of work who was able to provide me with his emergency contact information. I was able to leave several messages with his wife, daughter and sister. His daughter identified as Quynh-Chi Nguyen returned my phone call and was notified of the accident and that her father was transported to the Beth Israel Hospital in Boston. I provided her with my direct line and advised her to contact me with any questions. Later in the day, she contacted me back to state that her father was in stable condition and was going through a number of tests by hospital staff. I will be following up with Mr. Nguyen tomorrow after all his tests are completed. On Tuesday November 2nd, 2021 I was able to make contact with Mr. Nguyen's wife, Cindy Chau. Cindy stated her husband was ok and she was on her way to pick him up from the hospital. She stated she will have him contact me when he arrives home. I asked about his injuries and she stated he did not have any broken bones but wasn't sure and will contact me when they get home. Later that afternoon I attempted to make contact with Mr. Nguyen and was only able to leave a message. I am still waiting to hear back. On Friday 11/05/2021 I returned a phone call to Mr. Nguyen's daughter, Quynch-Chi who left me a voicemail. She stated Mr. Nguyen was home and all his test results came back negative. She stated she provided him with my contact number and he will contact me when he is feeling up to it. She also stated she believes Mr. Nguyen suffered some kind of head injury as he has wound on his head and does not remember anything about the accident. Quynch-Chi asked that I refrain from contacting her mother as she does not feel comfortable speaking to me since she does not speak English well. She asked that all communication go through her. She also asked for a copy of the report and I advised Quynch-Chi that I am still waiting to hear from her father so I can complete the report. I received a call from Mr. Nguyen a few minutes later. He was able to state that he doesn't remember anything from the accident except that he thinks when he went through the intersection the light changed from green to red. Mr. Nguyen also stated that the only other thing he remembers is waking up in the hospital. When asked about his injuries Mr. Nguyen stated he has a hard time breathing and his head, neck and legs are sore. I advised Mr. Nguyen that I will be adding his statements to the report and to have his daughter contact me if he needs anything further. Mr. Nguyen called me again to state that the accident happened because he was turning left and the driver was turning right. I informed Mr. Nguyen that based on the evidence and witness statements it appears that both him and the driver of the motor vehicle were travelling straight at the time of the accident and neither party were attempting to turn. Mr. Nguyen remained silent and just kept stating he was turning left and they were turning right. I advised Mr. Nguyen I will add his statements to my report to which he was satisfied.","[""Bike"", ""Crash"", ""Helmet"", ""Hospital"", ""Phone"", ""Pictures"", ""Solar"", ""Walk""]",[],[],/static/reports/2100000886.pdf,/static/images/2100000886.png,"Cherry St & Webster St, Newton, MA 02465, USA",42.350159,-71.228704,0,2021-11-06T16:27:09.126314

Units checked the area and could not find the bicyclist or the vehicle. Shortly after clearing the initial call the operator of the vehicle called to report the accident. I spoke to Jean Ferreira who stated she was traveling southbound on Walnut St and noticed a young male about 13 yoa riding a bicycle along side her on her right side. As they approached the intersection of Cabot St Ferreira felt a thud along her passenger side. She looked in her rearview and saw the male down on the ground. She immediately stopped and exited her vehicle to check on him. As she approached the male party he apologized for hitting her car and said it was his fault. Ferreira did everything she could to help the male but he kept saying he was uninjured and he was sorry and that he only lived down the road (pointing down Cabot St).

The weather at the time of the crash was clear and sunny. The road surface was dry. Cabot Street and East Side Parkway are both public ways maintained by the City of Newton. I spoke with the operator of MV1 (2016 Mazda CX3, NY: JNB6711), Mr. Tushar Singhal (NY: 287647610). Mr. Singhal stated he was operating his vehicle on Cabot Street (E) towards the East Side Parkway intersection. Mr. Singhal stated he came to a complete stop at the stop sign on Cabot Street. Mr. Singhal stated he did not see any vehicles or pedestrians in the area at this time. Mr. Singhal stated he proceeded to travel through the intersection from his stopped positon and take a left turn onto East Side Parkway. Mr. Singhal stated at this time a bicyclist crashed into the passenger side of his vehicle. Mr. Singhal stated the bicyclist then fell over his hood and onto the roadway. Mr. Singhal reported no injuries from the crash. I observed damage to the front passenger side door, mirror, fender, and hood. Sgt. M. Wade spoke with the injured bicyclist, Keiji Imai, while he was being evaluted by Newton Medics. Mr. Imai stated he was operating his Trek bicycle on Cabot Street (W) towards the East Side Parkway intersection. Mr. Imai stated he was on the sidewalk and entered the intersection with out stopping. Mr. Imai stated he crashed into the side of MV1 and fell to the roadway. Mr. Imai was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital with minor injuries to his left wrist and rear. Keiji was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash. I observed the helmet to have no fresh damage or defects. Photos were taken of the helmet to document it's condition. Keiji's father, Koguke Imai, was made aware of the crash involving his son and stated he would respond to the hospital. I observed no substantial damage to the Trek bicycle. I transported Keiji's blackTrek bicycle to Keiji's residence. I spoke with a witness to the crash, Ms. Madison Albano. Ms Albano stated she was walking her dog on Cabot Street (E) on the Northbound sidewalk at the East Side Parkway intersection. Ms. Madison Albano stated she observed MV1 approach the intersection to her right side on Cabot Street (E) and come to a stop at the stop sign. Ms. Albano stated she then observed MV1 make a left turn onto East Side Parkway and she heard a crash. Ms. Albano stated she observed a bicyclist crash into the passenger side of MV1 and then fall to the roadway. Ms. Albano stated she did not see the bicyclist prior to the crash and does not know if he came off of the sidewalk or was in the roadway. After speaking with all involved parties, I have summized the following. As MV1 was completing his left turn onto East Side Parkway (N) from Cabot Street (E), the involved bicylist failed to yield at the stop sign while traveling on Cabot Street (W) across the intersection. The bicyclist entered the intersection with out yielding and crashed into the passenger side of MV1. MV1 had the right of way. No citations will be issued as a result of this crash. Photos were taken of the scene and submitted to the IT Bureau.
