1900000222,2019-03-01T17:37,2019-03-01,17:37,1354 WASHINGTON ST,EAST 1354 WASHINGTON ST,,0,25,1,1,"On 3/1/19 while working N493, myself and N492 Officer Selig were sent to the area of 1354 Washington St for a motor vehicle accident with reported injuries. On arrival, I spoke to Matthew Digregorio DOB7/2/74 ( hereby referred to as operator #1) who was standing on the sidewalk next to MA reg 134TR9 (vehicle #1 ). Vehicle #1 had significant damage to the front and right quarter panels. It was straddled between the travel lanes and did not have the keys in the ignition. It was immediately apparent that operator #1 suffered an injury to his head, as there was a moderate amount of blood and small pieces of glass stuck in his forehead area. I observed operator #1 to be unsteady on his feet, have bloodshot eyes and slurred speech. I could detect a moderate odor of alchoholic beverage coming from operator #1 as I was approaching him, which was apparent from about an arms length away (it should be noted that medics were already en route to the scene at this time). Prior to the medics arrival, I asked operator #1 for a brief synopsis of what transpired. Operator #1 stated that he had just left Paddy's Pub and was driving westbound on Hunter St (which is approximately 1/8 mile from our location) when he collided head on with vehicle #2. Vehicle #2 was not immediately visible upon police arrival, however was pointed out as being located at the intersection of Hunter and Putnam St. I asked operator #1 where he was heading, as Hunter St is a back road not directly in the vicinity of Paddy's. Operator #1 could not answer the question and also remained silent when I asked him how much alcohol he had consumed this evening. At this time the medics arrived on scene. I asked operator #1 for the car keys to reliquish to the tow truck operator, which is standard operating practice. Operator #1 reached into his pocket and then provided me with the keys. Due to concern over operator #1's obvious head trauma, he was then transported to NWH to be evaluated while the investigation continued on scene. Two other parties approached myself and Officer Selig. One was the operator of vehicle #2, MA reg 1RD999. Operator #2 is identified as Luke Ferdinands DOB 5/11/80. The other party who approached is identified as Douglas Dasilva-Pimenta DOB 6/2/86 (Dasilva-Pimenta will now be referred to as operator #3). Operator #2 states that he was taking a right onto Hunter St from Putnam St, when he observed vehicle #1 on the wrong side of the road approaching him head on. Operator #2 states vehicle #1 then collided head on with him, took a right onto Putnam St, and continued onto the Washington St overpass near 1354 Washington St. Operator #3 states he was inside of #5 Hunter St when he heard a loud crash coming from outside. He looked out the window and saw vehicle #1 traveling at a high rate of speed on Hunter St towards Putnam St. Operator #3 observed damage to the right side of his parked vehicle (now referred to as vehicle #3) MA reg 7CAK80. He immediately got in his vehicle and proceeded to follow vehicle #1, which then crashed into vehicle #2 head on. Operator #1 did not stop until it was obvious that operator #3 was following close behind. This ultimately landed vehicle #1 at it's final location near 1354 Washington St. Vehicle #1 and vehicle #2 were not driveable and were towed to Tody's. It should be noted that there was a passenger in vehicle #2 at the time of the collision. Airbags were deployed and medics checked out both operator and passenger. Both declined transport. The passenger is identified as Elizabeth Ferdinands DOB 5/22/53.Ferdinands' version of events coincide with that of operator #2. Upon speaking with Officer Selig it was learned that operator #1 dropped his cell phone several times as he was holding it on scene. Both Officer Selig and operators #2 and #3 observed this. Operators #2 and #3 both expressed concern over the obvious odor of alcohol eminating from operator #1, and the fact that he was unsteady on his feet. I responded to NWH to follow up with operator #1 however he did not wish to speak further. He did express concern over the well being of all parties involved. Operator #1 was issued in hand the following citations: T1268426 - 90/24 OUI Alcohol, 90/24 Leaving the Scene (property damage, vehicle #2), and 90/24 Leaving the Scene (property damage, vehicle #3). T1268425 - 89/4a Marked Lanes violation. T1269216 - 90/24 Negligent Operation of a M/V (mailed after consultation with superiors) All streets mentioned are public ways in the City of Newton. 1354 Washington St will be the address used on this report and subsequent citations due to multiple locations being involved. Citations and paperwork have been placed in the prosecutor's mailbox.

The operator of MV#1 was upset and sitting in MV#1 when I interviewed her and only stated that her left hip hurt. Operator #1 refused medical treatment at that time and wanted to wait for her mother to arrive before making any decisions. The operator of MV#2 stated that he was traveling east on Commonwealth Ave in the area of #2102 in the left hand lane when a pedestrian appeared in the roadway. According to operator #2, he cut his steering wheel to the left to avoid the pedestrian and struck MV#1. No tows and only a minor injury to the operator of MV#1, though she did not want to be evaluated by the medics. Two independent witnesses to the crash gave me similar statements that operator #2 had driven on the wrong side of the road prior to the crash and was operating at a high rate of speed. Operator #2 cited for failure to obey signage. Only after I completed this report, was I notified by Cheryl Petitti, the mother of Marisa Petitti that Marisa was not operating MV#1 at the time of the crash and that she may have been struck by MV#2. I re-interviewed both witnesses and they confirmed that Marisa was in fact the pedestrian crossing the street, which I did not know, but they did not witness her being struck by MV#2 due to their view being obstructed. Cheryl Petitti also states that she was contacted by another witness, who had left prior to my arrival, that has information to provide. At this time I will notify the Traffic Bureau of a possible Auto Pedestrian to be further investigated.","[""Citation"", ""Crash"", ""Ped"", ""Speed""]","[""Lane departure""]",[9],/static/reports/2100001020.pdf,/static/images/2100001020.png,"2102 Commonwealth Avenue, Auburndale, MA 02466, USA",42.3477264,-71.2477463,0,2021-12-08T16:27:08.688910

Upon arrival I spoke with the operator of MV 1, who stated that she was on the left lane on Washington St waiting to turn left onto Hovey street. She stated that the oncoming vehicles stopped for her to turn left on Hovey St when MV2 swerved around the vehicles and crashed into her causing major damage to the center front and right side of the MV. The operator of MV1 stated that she had a dash cam that caught the whole accident on video and they she would provide the video so I can view it.

He stated that he had the right of way and that there were no cars in front him which is why he continued driving straight. He also stated that he did nothing wrong and that he was following the speed limit. The operator of MV1 was able to send the dash cam footage from the accident. Based on my observations the video was consistent with the statement that operator of MV1 gave. In the video it is clear that MV1 had the right of way to make the left turn onto Hovey St. The operator of MV2 was mailed Mass Uniform Citation T1445888 fir M.G.L 89 4A Marked Lanes violation.
