At the time, the road surface was dry and the weather was cloudy. Traffic was particulary heavy as there were several streets in the area still blocked off for the Walk for Hunger and there were participants still walking the route in the area. My attention was drawn to the intersection of Centre Street and Bowen Street as there was a motor vehicle travelling southbound on Centre Street with their left turn signal on attempting to take a left turn on to Gibbs Street. Gibbs Street was temporarily blocked to non-residential motorists as there were several pedestrians in the road crossing over Gibbs Street. As the motor vehicle attempted to turn, there were several pedestrians in the crosswalk crossing over Gibbs Street. The vehicle had stopped halfway into the northbound lane on Centre Street blocking on coming traffic. The operator appeared to realize Gibbs Street was blocked and attemped to turn the vehicle back into the southbound lane to continue southbound on Centre Street. As the vehicle turned back into the southbound traffic lane, the vehicles rear end collided with Officer Richard Clements, who was operating NPD motorcycle unit 533. Officer Clements was traveling southbound on Centre Street and was passing the vehicles in the southbound traffic lane which were currently all at a standstill. Officer Clements had his emergency lights activated as he was on his way to remove traffic cones from the street to open up all the traffic lanes along the event route. Officer Clements was working the City of Newton detail for the Walk for Hunger assigned to the motorcycle to assist with traffic. Officer Clements front wheel, left side of the motorcycle and left leg collided with the rear end of the motor vehicle. The impact of the crash caused him to fall off the left side of the motorcycle and land on the street face first. At this time I immediately ran from my post to Officer Clements location and radioed dispatch that a motorcycle officer was down and that I needed assistance. As I approached Officer Clements he was face down, unconcious and breathing. I was able to roll Officer Clements into the recovery position and at this time Officer Clements regained conciousness and was able to speak and stated "" What happened? What was that lady doing she turned right into me"". I advised Officer Clements that he had just been involved in an accident and to stay still and that help was on the way. The operator of the motor vehicle identified as Helen Leibner (S52717988) stopped her vehicle immediatley after the crash and got out of her vehicle to offer her assistance. I advised Helen and several other witnesses and bystanders who were now crowding around Officer Clements and I to back away from the scene and to not move any of the vehicles involved. Officer Selig arrived on scene and was able to help crowd control until further help arrived. Helen and all witnesses were advised to stand by for police to take their statements. While tending to Officer Clements he was disoriented and made several attempts to move his body to which I had to physically hold him still to prevent possible further injuries. While speaking with Officer Clements I noticed blood coming from the inside of his mouth. Officer Clements was in a noticeable amount of pain. He complained of head, back and left leg pain. Officer Clements was wearing a yellow ANSI certified Newton Police reflective jacket and a Newton Police issued motorcycle helmet. Once the paramedics and fire personnel arrived I was able to speak to the operator of the motor vehicle and several other witnesses. Helen stated she was traveling southbound on Centre Street operating her blue 2014 Audi A4 (MA REG 213BC9). Helen states she was attempting to take a left turn onto Gibbs Street and activated her left turn signal. Helen states she had stopped halfway into the northbound lane as several pedestrians were crossing Gibbs Street in the crosswalk at the time. Helen states after the pedestrians cleared she saw the traffic cones blocking the street and realized the street was closed. Helen states she turned her vehicle back into the southbound traffic lane and did not see Officer Clements or the motorcycle until impact. Helen was not injured and her motor vehicle sustained moderate rear end damage. Her motor vehicle was able to drive away from the scene. Witness Adron Gordon (S90357161) stated he was participating in the Walk for Hunger and had just crossed over Gibbs Street when the crash occured. He stated he witnessed the Officer on the motorcycle with the emergency lights on traveling southbound on Centre Street behind the motor vehicle. The motor vehicle stopped in traffic attempting to turn left onto Gibbs Street. He states then the vehicle made a slight turn back into the southbound traffic lane and the motorcycle collided with the rear end of the motor vehicle. He states the Officer then fell off the motorcycle landing in the middle of Centre Street. Witness Elizabeth McCarthy (S00242346) and Katherine Regan (S43486601) stated they both were in the same vehicle together stopped in traffic in the northbound lane of Centre Street just before the set of lights at Centre Street and Bowen Street. Both witnesses stated they do not remember if the driver of the motor vehicle had the turn signal on but they did see her attempt to turn onto Gibbs Street. They stated they also saw the motorcycle with emergency lights activated travel southbound on Centre Street approaching behind the vehicle. Witnesses state the motor vehicle then suddenly turned back into the southbound lane and the motorcycle collided with the passenger side tailight of the motor vehicle. Both witnesses state the motorcycle attemped to turn away from the vehicle to avoid the crash but was unable to do so. Witness Nina Wang (S39460985) stated she was parked on the southbound lane of Centre Street just prior to the crash scene. Nina states she was in her City of Newton DPW marked vehicle with the hazards on as she was working to assist with traffic safety for the Walk for Hunger. Nina states she witnessed the motorcycle travel southbound on Centre Street and pass the vehicles stopped in the traffic lane. Nina states the motorcycle passed the traffic using the left side and had the emergency lights activated. Nina states the motorcycle was just passing through the green light at Centre Street and Bowen Street when the motor vehicle that was stopped at the lights attempting to take a left turn onto Gibbs Street. Nina states the vehicle then abruptly jerked her car to the right and collided with the motorcycles left side. Nina states she heard a loud crash and witnessed the Officer fall off the motorcycle and land face first onto the street. The motorcycle's final resting place was on its left side approximately two feet away from where Officer Clements was located. The motorcycle sustained moderate damage to its left side, including the front wheel well and undercarriage. The motorcycle left scuff marks on the street which were measured and photographed. Several photographs of the scene and damage to both vehicles were taken and submitted to the IT Bureau. The motorcycle was towed by Todys. Centre Street and Bowen Street are both public ways maintained by the City of Newton. The injured motorcyclist, Officer Clements, was transported to Saint Elizabeth Hospital with fire fighters on board. I was able to follow up with Officer Clements on the phone the next day who was admitted over night at the hospital. Officer Clements stated he has no recollection of the accident and can only remember driving down Centre Street to begin to pick up cones to open up all lanes of traffic. Officer Clements stated he suffered a brain bleed, head, back, left foot and right thumb injuries. A Massachusetts Uniform Citation was issued and mailed to Helen for Chapter 89 Section 7A, failure to yield to emergency vehicle, police motorcycle.","[""Citation"", ""Crash"", ""Crosswalk"", ""Fire"", ""Helmet"", ""Hospital"", ""Moderate"", ""Night"", ""Ped"", ""Phone"", ""Pictures"", ""Solar"", ""Walk""]","[""Inattention""]",[19],/static/reports/1900000458.pdf,/static/images/1900000458.png,"Bowen St & Centre St, Newton, MA 02459, USA",42.3336185,-71.193432,0,2020-10-06T16:46:27.600758

It was also reported by Newton Dispatch that one of the occupants on the bus had suffered an arm injury as a result of the crash. Meadowbrook Road is a public way maintained by the City of Newton. The road surface at the time of the crash was dry. The weather at the time of the crash was clear and sunny. When I arrived, I was updated by Officer Iarossi that the crash involved a City of Newton contracted school bus transporting students from the Williams School (141 Grove Street, Newton). The students were participating in ""Step Up"" day and were leaving Brown to go back to Williams. Officer Iarossi stated a student on the bus was injured as a result of the crash. Tegan Quirk was transported by Fallon Medics to Newton Wellesley Hospital with a right arm injury. The remaining students that were on the bus reported no injuries to staff at the time and were moved to another bus to be transported back to the Williams School. I asked the Brown staff that was assembled in front of the school to contact the Williams School and ask them to hold the children involved in the crash at the school once they arrived. I made this request so we could make sure there weren't any new injuries reported; and I wanted to inquire if any of the children witnessed the incident. The staff stated they would contact Williams and relay the request. I spoke with the operator of the school bus (MA BUN: BU44536), Mr. John Aubert (S48613114). Mr. Aubert stated he was operating bus #361 while transporting students from Brown Middle School to the Williams School. Mr. Aubert stated as he was preparing to leave Brown, he made an announcement to students on the bus to sit down. Mr. Aubert stated he got the okay to leave from one of the staff members on the bus. Mr. Aubert stated there was another bus parked in front of him prior to leaving. Mr. Aubert stated he began to reverse the bus to create distance from the bus in front of him, and then operated the bus forward to exit from his position on the right side of the road and merge into the travel lane to his left around the bus parked in front of him. Mr. Aubert stated as he merged onto the roadway, he heard screaming from the students on the bus and the rear passenger side of the bus made contact with a brick support column in front of the school positioned along the sidewalks edge next to the roadway. Mr. Aubert stated he exited the bus and observed a student's arm pinned on the rear passenger side of the bus between the side of the bus and the brick column. Mr. Aubert stated he got back in the bus and reversed it until the students arm was free. Mr. Aubert stated at this time, staff helped the injured student. The staff there helped facilitate transportation for the remaining students back to the Williams School. Mr. Aubert reported no injuries, but was concerned for the welfare of the student. After speaking with Mr. Aubert, I observed damage to the school bus and the brick support column as a result of the crash. I observed fresh damage (scrapes) to the rear passenger side of the school bus between the last passenger side window and the back of the bus. I also observed fresh damage to the brick support column. The column is a support to an overhead covering that runs from the sidewalk to the front entrance of the school. There was fresh paint transfer from the bus and a crack in the column. Pictures were taken of the damage and submitted to the IT Bureau. The travel lane where the crash took place is a one way access road that runs from Meadowbrook Road to the front of the school, and exits onto a parking lot between the Brown Middle School and the Oak Hill Middle School. I responded to the Williams School to follow up with staff there regarding this crash. All of the students that were involved in the crash had been released prior to my arrival. I spoke with the Principal of the Williams School, Ms. Ayesha Farag, Ms. Michal Shapiro (Social Worker), and Ms. Katie Costello (School Nurse) about the students on the bus. They stated no injuries were reported to them, and they notified the parents of the involved parties about the crash. They also provided me with contact information for all of the students on the bus at the time of the crash. I spoke with the three teachers that were on the bus at the time of the crash, Ms. Kimberly Andersen, Ms. Tess McLean, and Ms. Katherine O'Leary. All three teachers stated prior to the bus leaving Brown Middle School they accounted for all of the students and were ready to leave to travel back to the Williams School. One of the teachers recalled hearing the bus driver make an announcement to the bus that they were about to leave, but could not recall the exact wording of the announcement. The teachers stated as the bus began to move, they heard screaming from the rear of the bus, looked back, and saw a student's arm stuck outside the window. After realizing the student was injured, they assisted with helping to free the student from his pinned position. They helped the injured student until EMS arrived on scene. They assisted the remaining students by directing them away from the crash and onto another bus for transportation back to Williams. The three teachers reported no injuries as a result of the crash. I responded to the Newton Wellesley Hospital Pediatric Emergency Room to check on the status of the injured student, Tegan Quirk. I spoke with Tegan and his mother, Kathryn Quirk in his room. While attempting to talk to Tegan and his mother, Tegan became very upset and did not want to talk about the specifics of the crash. Out of courtesy for Tegan, I exited the room and spoke with his mother outside the room. I explained to Ms. Quirk the events of the crash, and how her son's arm became injured. I asked Ms. Quirk if she could assist me with faciliating a conversation with Tegan about the events of the crash. I explained to her I understood how traumatic the events of the crash were for her son, but as part of my investigation I would need to find out what led to Tegan's arm being outside the bus window at the time of the crash. While speaking to his mother, Tegan explained that he was waving to a friend with his arm out of the bus window when the bus started to move. Tegan stated his arm hit the column, and became stuck between the bus and the column. Tegan stated he was screaming for the bus to move and that it took forever for the bus to move so he could free his arm. Tegan stated the bus driver gave no warning to the students that the bus was going to start moving. The staff at Newton Wellesley Hospital stated Tegan has a right arm injury. The severity of the injury is unknown at this time due to further examination that needs to take place. I advised Ms. Quirk about the conversations I had with the other parties involved. I spoke with Mr. David Stickney (Head of Facilities) from the Newton Public Schools to try and obtain footage of the crash. Mr. Stickney stated unfortunately there is not footage of the crash from the Brown Middle School or Oak Hill Middle School surveillance cameras. I advised Ms. Regina Moody (Newton Public Schools Transportation Director) about the crash. Ms. Moody was able to show me footage of the incident from the camera inside the bus. In the footage, the bus driver can be heard announcing to the students prior to the bus moving, ""Guys, guys, get off the seat and sit correctly"". One of the teachers can be seen doing a count of the students. The teacher is heard saying to the student, ""Everyone needs to be in a seat and sitting at 3 and 2 and 1 and thank you."" Student are observed still standing up. The teacher is then heard saying, ""sit down sit down."" After the teacher passes the students in the back of the bus, she says, ""We are good."" to the front of the bus. Students are then observed standing after she passes. As the bus begins to back up, students can be observed standing in the rear of the bus and not sitting down on their seats. As the bus moves forward, a student (Tegan Quirk) can be seen standing on his seat and extending his right arm out of the last window on the passenger side of the bus. Screaming can then be heard as his arm makes contact with a support column on the passenger side of the bus. The bus is stopped, the driver exits the bus to asses what happend, gets back on the bus, and reverses the bus a short distance. The injured students right arm is released and he brings his arm back into the bus through the window. The amount of time between the students arm being pinned against the column to when it is released is approximately 40 seconds. After speaking with all parties involved and reviewing the footage from inside the bus, it appears that Bus #361 was pulling out of it's parked position in front of the Brown Middle School to enter the roadway and return students to the Williams School. A student that was sitting in the last row on the passenger side of the bus extended his right arm out of a window next to his seat to say goodbye to a friend. While his right arm was extended out of the rear passenger side window of the bus , the bus collided with a brick support column affixed to the sidewalk in front of the school. When the bus made contact with the column, the students right arm made contact with a brick support column and became pinned between the column and the passegner side of the bus. After the students arm was freed from it's pinned position, the student was able to bring his arm back into the school bus and was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital for a right arm injury.","[""Bus"", ""Crash"", ""Ems"", ""Hospital"", ""Pictures"", ""School"", ""Solar""]","[""Inattention""]",[19],/static/reports/2100000437.pdf,/static/images/2100000437.png,"125 Meadowbrook Rd, Newton, MA 02459, USA",42.3091306,-71.1898743,0,2021-06-29T16:27:15.688148

2100000844,2021-10-15T08:27,2021-10-15,08:27,139 BRANDEIS RD,WEST 139 BRANDEIS RD,,0,25,1,1,"On 10/19/21 at 08:30 hours, Sgt. Wade notified me that he received an email regarding a motor vehicle accident involving a pedestrian/student that occurred on 10/15/21 between the hours of 08:20am and 08:35am. The crash was never reported by the operator of the vehicle or the student/pedestrian. Approximately two hours later, the student went to the nurse's office seeking assistance for neck pain which is how the school became aware. This crash occurred in the marked crosswalk on Brandeis Road in front of Newton South High School which is located at 139 Brandeis Road. The weather at the time was 63 degrees with mostly cloudy and sunny conditions (wunderground.com). Brandeis Road is a two way roadway divided by an unprotected median that runs east and westbound. In front of the school there is a marked crosswalk in the roadway. There is also a one way driveway near the main entrance of the school with parking stalls and parents can drop their children off there on the right side of the driveway. The driveway then leads back out to Brandeis Road. Right after you exit the lot there is the above mentioned crosswalk to the left of the driveway which is very visible with nothing obstructing your view. On arrival, I spoke to the Dean of the school named Charlie Myette. Mr. Myette brought me to his office and started looking at the school's video surveillance system. He also requested that the student/pedestrian involved to report to his office. The student was identified as Tsukasa Iinishi. I asked Mr. Iinishi what had occurred and he stated that he was walking to school on the morning of 10/15/21. He says that he was wearing a pink hoody sweatshirt with gray shorts. He was walking through the woods which is across the street from the school which exit out to Brandeis Road. He says that he waited at the crosswalk and let two vehicles go westbound by him. He then thought it was clear to proceed and started walking. At the tail end of the crosswalk he was struck by a red colored Toyota Prius which exited left from the driveway and was on the left side of the roadway. He was struck on the left side of his body and he says that he used his left hand to brace himself against the hood and that's when the Prius stopped. He says that the operator of the Prius asked him if he was okay and he replied that he was. He then kept walking toward the school. The operator then continued on it's way without providing any information or notifying us. He described the operator as an Asian female with black hair approximately 40 to 50 yrs in age. During this time, Mr. Myette was able to find surveillance video of the crash. There are two camera angles. One shows the driveway along with the walkway of the school building. The other one shows the same but it also overlooks out in to Brandeis Road. The view of the road is partially blocked from the parked cars in the lot. The video shows a red colored Toyota Prius pull in to the driveway of the school. An Asian female student wearing a white long sleeve shirt with green lettering and dark colored jeans exits the passenger front of the Prius and eventually enters the school. The Prius then pulls out and goes toward the left side of the driveway around other vehicles waiting to exit. At 08:27 hours, the Prius pulls out angling towards the left side of the driveway going around other vehicles waiting to exit. The Prius then exits the lot on the left side (wrong side) of the roadway and makes contact with the pedestrian. In the video you cannot see the front hood area of the car, but you see Iinishi's torso bend towards the vehicle on impact. It shows the Prius stopped there for approximately ten seconds and then it drives away. In the video you are not able to see the registration plate number. Mr. Myette is going to send the photo of the student dropped off in the Prius to his staff to have her identified so I can follow up with the operator. On 10/21/21, I received an email from Mr. Myette stating that some of his staff has not come forward on the identification of the student. He stated that he would now send a message out to a larger group of staff to see if he gets a response. He also attempted to enhance the registration plate using the surveillance software but the plate is still too blurry to make out. On 10/25/21 at approximately 08:40 hours, I went over to Newton South High School to see if I could locate the red Toyota Prius involved in the crash. As I was driving on Olde Field Road approaching Brandeis Road near the school, I observed a red Prius approximately four cars ahead of me in heavy school traffic. Eventually, I observed the Prius pull in to the drop off driveway of the school and drop an Asian female student off. I identified her as the same student that got out of Prius prior to the past accident on 10/15/21. The operator was an Asian female which appeared to be in her late forties. After, the Prius exits the lot on to Brandeis Road and I flagged her down. I had her pull in to the parking lot across the street from the school. I asked her if she was involved in a accident with a student on the morning of 10/15/21 to which she replied that she was. She was identified as Xiaojin Liu through her MA Driver's License # S49033927. She was operating a 2010 Toyota Prius bearing MA reg.# 8JY630. I asked her what occurred and she stated that she was exiting the driveway of the school to turn left on to Brandeis Road. She says that she has a habit to think that no one is ever walking through the crosswalk and thought it was clear to proceed. She turned and then saw the student crossing and attempted to stop but was not able to in time. She then bumped the student with the front of her vehicle. She says that she stopped and asked the student if he was ok several times and he stated that he was. The student then walked away and she says that she did not know what else to do. I advised her that she should of gave her information to the student, notify the school, or call us to which she understood. I issued MA Uniform Citation # 172129AB to Ms. Liu for Ch. 90/24/A Leaving the scene of personal injury. After, I went inside the school and notified Mr. Myette of my findings. I asked him for the surveillance footage as I previously did in person and through email. He stated that he would put the video on a zip drive and notify me.","[""Citation"", ""Crash"", ""Crosswalk"", ""Ped"", ""Pictures"", ""School"", ""Solar"", ""Walk""]","[""Wrong way"", ""Inattention""]","[8, 19]",/static/reports/2100000844.pdf,/static/images/2100000844.png,"139 Brandeis Rd, Newton, MA 02459, USA",42.3145561,-71.1876348,0,2021-11-11T16:27:08.593089

Washington Street is a two way divided roadway with an unprotected median that runs in a easterly and westerly direction. At this location, there is a marked crosswalk with a walk signal along with traffic signals above in both directions. On arrival, the scene was cleared up and both parties were waiting in the parking lot of the Burke & Blackington Funeral Home at 1479 Washington Street. I spoke to the bicyclist involved who was identified as Rajmattie Thakoordeen. I asked her what occurred and she stated that she was attempting to cross Washington Street in a southerly direction on her electric bicycle. She says that she pushed for the crosswalk signal to activate and once it did she began riding her bicycle when she was suddenly struck by a silver Saab 93. She made it out in to the crosswalk approximately four feet when she was struck by the Saab which was travelling westbound in the right lane of Washington Street. She says that she was struck on the left side of her leg area. She complained of her left leg being sore near her knee area but signed a patient refusal with Fallon Ambulance declining transport. At the time, she was riding a Rad Power Bike Roadrunner 1 Plus that is silver and black in color. It is a Class 2 electric bicycle (750W) that can go up to 20 m.p.h. The only damage it sustained was scrapes to the outside left pedal. Ms. Thakoordeen was wearing black/gray/white pants, yellow reflective jacket, and a black bicycle helmet at the time. Next, I spoke to the operator of the Saab 93 bearing RI registration # FN193. He was identified as Nevan Hanumara with Rhode Island Driver's License # 9960501. He stated that he was travelling westbound on Washington Street in the right travel lane when he came around the curve and noticed the red light signal above in the last second. He says by the time he reacted and attempted to stop he went through the red light and made contact with the bicyclist in the crosswalk. He reported no injuries and no damage to his vehicle.

The weather at the time was cloudy and sunny and the road conditions were dry. It appears the crash occurred at approximately 14:30 hours on this date according to statements. On arrival, I spoke to an employee identified as Alan Hayden of the tree company. Mr. Hayden works for Tree Technology and Landscape Company Inc. and at the time of the crash he was up in the air inside the bucket of his truck conducting tree trimming work. No other workers were inside the truck at the time. The truck is a 2022 Freightliner M2 bearing MA commercial reg. # W23962. Hayden states the truck was parked at the end of Cragmore Road a bit out into the Boylston Street off ramp. While doing work, Hayden states a full size yellow school bus attempted to go around his truck while turning right on to the Boylston Street off ramp from Cragmore Road. The school bus did not make a wide enough right turn and struck the driver's side black metal cage which supports the bucket to the truck. The bucket then started shaking back and forth while Mr. Hayden was in it. The metal cage goes overhead in front of the truck and sticks out on both sides of it. He says that the school bus scraped along the side of the cage and there should be long sized scrape marks along the top right side of the bus. I observed the scrape marks to the cage and noticed that the cage was also bent outward slightly on the passenger side. No injuries were reported by Mr. Hayden. I took several photos of the Freightliner truck and cage area and submitted them to the I.T. Bureau. Two other employees for Tree Technology were outside of the truck observing the work being done at the time. They were identified as Edgar Ortiz and Kemwrick Thames. Both of them did not observe the collision but heard the school bus scrape along side their company's truck. They stated that they yelled out to the bus operator but the driver continued westbound on to Boylston Street without stopping. Neither of them saw any writing on the bus or a registration number for it. They did observe some type of paper sign attached to the side of it. They stated that numerous students were on the school bus at the time. They did not observe the sex of the bus operator. Dispatch attempted to contact the City of Newton Transportation Dept. with negative results. Sgt. Wade left a voicemail with the director Regina Moody to see if the bus involved was transporting students for the City of Newton/Public Schools. It is unknown at this time if this bus was contracted by the city. Traffic Bureau update (Officer Gaudet): On Thursday, June 16, 2022, I was asked to conduct a follow up investigation for this crash. I spoke with Ms. Regina Moody from the City of Newton Transportation Department. Ms. Moody identified the operator of the school bus as Mr. Urban Mills (S49560217) and stated he was operating bus #351, a 2019 Thomas School Bus (MA BUN: BU43104). Ms. Moody was able to provide me with a copy of the audio/video surveillance from the bus involved in the crash. I viewed this footage in Ms. Moody's office. The footage shows Mr. Mills operating the school bus on Cragmore Road (S) towards Boylston Street. As the bus approached Boylston Street, a tree trimming crew can be seen working ahead at the corner of Cragmore Road and Boylston Street. There is also a stop sign at this intersection that can be clearly viewed from the footage. As the school bus approaches the intersection it does not come to a stop at the stop sign posted on the right side of the roadway. This was confirmed by Ms. Moody using the GPS system that gives the speed of every bus traveling during it's route, including when it comes to a complete stop. The school bus takes a right turn and a loud ""crunching/scraping"" sound can be heard. The attention of the children on the bus is turned to the passenger side of the bus. Through my training and experience, the sound heard on the footage is consistent with a vehicle hitting a large object. Children on the bus can be heard yelling, ""What the fuck!"" and discussing what has just happened with one another. The bus completes it's turn and travels on it's way with out stopping. All of the students on the bus were dropped off at their usual destination. There have been no injuries reported by any of the parties on the bus at the time of the crash. All of the students on the bus at the time of the crash were from Brown Middle School. Ms. Moody stated she would contact the Brown Middle School to try and get a list of the students that were on the bus at the time of the crash. A copy of the footage from the school bus and pictures of the damage to bus #351 was submitted to the IT Bureau. Mr. Mills provided a statement to Ms. Moody sometime after the crash occurred. From Mr. Mills's written statement, he states, ""On approaching the intersection, I noticed a couple of tree cutting vehicles parked on the right side of the roadway (Cragmore Road) at the very corner. Nevertheless, I negotiated the turn and proceeded. This will require me to maneuver my bus onto the sidewalk. While executing this maneuver, I heard some noises which at the time I thought it was as a result of the bus getting onto the sidewalk because while executing the maneuver my eyes were fixed on the right side mirrors and was a great distance away from the vehicles to my right."" After viewing the footage from the crash, Mr. Mills will be mailed Massachusetts Uniform Citation 477181AB for Chapter 90, Section 24 (Leaving the Scene of Property Damage), Chapter 89, Section 9, (Fail To Yield, Stop Sign), and Newton City Ordinance Chapter 19, Section 75 (Failure to Use Care). A copy of the criminal application and associated paperwork was submitted to the Police Prosecutor. Ms. Moody was apprised of the findings of my investigation.
