Upon arrival I observed MV1(MA REG 7TT558) in the travel lane with both tires broken free from the axle. I spoke with the operator who could not recall how the accident happened, or what was struck. After an investigation the operator was placed under arrest for 90/24 OUI Alcohol. Officer Boyle was able to assist in the accident investigation. It appears the operator had been traveling westbound on River street and struck a utility pole on the drivers side front tire. The vehicle continued to the intersection of River street and Auburndale avenue and struck a curb here on the passenger side tire. Both tires were broken free from the axles. The vehicle was towed by Tody's and an inventory form was filed. Eversource was notified about the pole.","[""Alcohol"", ""Crash"", ""Solar""]","[""Reckless driving""]",[10],/static/reports/1900000143.pdf,/static/images/1900000143.png,"Cherry St, Newton, MA, USA",42.3560826,-71.2279862,0,2020-10-06T16:43:11.435775
1900000195,2019-02-17T01:10,2019-02-17,01:10,DEDHAM ST & SPIERS RD,EAST DEDHAM ST,SPIERS RD,1,25,0,1,"At approximately 0110HRs on Sunday February 17, 2019, I was dispatched to the area of Dedham St. and Spiers Rd. (both public ways in the City of Newton), for a report of a motor vehicle vs pole accident with injury, airbag deployment and entrapment. Upon arrival, I exited my cruiser with my medical bag and AED and went to assist the motorist involved in the crash. MV1 (MA Passenger: 255ZA9) was completely off the roadway and on the shoulder of the road (facing Eastbound) with its nose contacting the light pole ( Verizon Pole #:103/80), which was now broken and listing to the side. Attempts to open the doors were unsuccessful and I attempted to communicate with the operator through a partially broken driver's window frame which was bent. The operator was slumped forward with his hand cradling his head and he was unable to speak, but was breathing. Newton Fire arrived and attempted to gain access to the vehicle via several manual tools with no success and instead deployed the Jaws of Life which was successful. Newton Fire also made entry into the rear passenger compartment because we viewed a child's car seat and checked with negative results for any child in the vehicle. Once the operator was cut out of his seatbelt and safely out of MV1 and on board Newton Medic 1, I entered the ambulance where he was identified as Mark Topham. It should be noted that Topham was having difficulty answering basic questions such as his name, date of birth, today's date, Etc. At one point when he was asked what today's date was, he gave his birth date of February 21, 1983 and it took him several attempts to say his last name, I had to run him over the air with a partial name to ascertain who he is. Also of note, in my presence and that of Sgt. Devine, Topham informed the medics that he had been consuming alcoholic beverages prior to the crash. Upon viewing the scene, I noted that the roadway was lit and I did not observe any skid marks on the dry, ice-free payment, indicating that there was unlikely any braking or swerving to avoid the collision. I spoke to the reporting party, Lindsay Giardina, she stated that she was traveling on Dedham St. when she heard what she believed to be a motor vehicle crash. When she came upon said crash, she attempted to assist the operator, as she was an off duty firefighter. She was unable to gain access to the inside of the vehicle, but communicated to the operator in the same manor as I did. She stated that she was able to smell the odor of an alcoholic beverage emanating from the operator. Topham was transported to Beth Israel of Boston, where he was assigned patient record number 3109921. I attempted to speak with him at the hospital, but was unable to do so because of his current state; I noted several injuries on Topham, such as a bloody lip, a wound to his lower left side and a wound to his left leg. Due to Topham's statements onboard of Medic 1 and Lindsay Giardina's observations, I will be charging Topham with one count of violating MGL Ch.90 S. 24 K OUI Liquor 2nd Offence, one count of violating MGL Ch.90 S. 24 E Negligent Operation of a Motor Vehicle and one count of violating MGL Ch. 89 S. 4A Marked Lanes Violation via MA Criminal Citations which I placed in the mail. Additionally, I will be seeking a subpoena for Topham's blood work from the hospital. Note: The crash occurred on the Newton/Boston line, Newton dispatch's GPS indicated that the crash was in Newton. I took several pictures of the scene and have forwarded them to IT to be attached to this report. I completed and filled an NPD Motor Vehicle Tow Inventory Form and Officer Boudrot stood by for the tow.","[""Airbag"", ""Alcohol"", ""Citation"", ""Crash"", ""Ems"", ""Fire"", ""Hospital"", ""Ice"", ""Pictures"", ""Solar""]","[""Reckless driving""]",[10],/static/reports/1900000195.pdf,/static/images/1900000195.png,"Spiers Rd & Dedham St, Newton, MA 02459, USA",42.2948266,-71.1789151,0,2020-10-06T16:42:37.839982

Upon arrival, I spoke with the operator of MV1 (MA Veteran:J706), who stated that as he sat stationary in his vehicle just before entering pump: 3, MV2 backed up from pump: 1 and struck MV1 in the front bumper, despite him activating his horn and keeping it active as she continued to back up. The operator of MV1 then approached the driver's side door of MV2 to exchange information, however the operator of MV2 drove off; the operator of MV1 provided MA Pass: 8SV842 being attached to MV2 and I noted damage to the front bumper of MV1. I spoke to witness 1 via phone and he concurred with the operator of MV1's account of the incident. It should be noted that witness 1 could see the crash well from his vantage point by pump: 2. The operator of MV2 could not be reached by this officer for comment. Natick PD responded to the operator of MV2's residence and observed damage to MV2's rear bumper. They requested the operator of MV2 contact me via phone and she stated she would; Natick PD did not get a contact number for her. Natick PD informed us to expect her call and a few minutes later, dispatcher Kelly stated that she received a call from the operator of MV2, who immediately hung up once the call was answered. It should be noted that since she called on the business line and immediately hung up, we were not able to retrieve her phone number as the system does not store it. Due to the operator of MV2 failing to provide her information after the crash/fleeing the scene and her not being cooperative with my investigation, I have issued her by mail MA Criminal Citation:T2013367 for violating one count of MGL. Ch. 90 S. 24 (Leaving The Scene Of An Accident After Property Damage). Note: the clerk at Sunoco stated that the cameras at the pumps do not store footage. **Update** At approximately 1540HRs on Thursday, 01/07/2020, I spoke with the operator of MV2 via telephone. She contacted the Newton Police Traffic Bureau and provided her phone number, who in turn forwarded it to me. She stated to me that on the night in question, she was at the pumps and the pump she initially wished to use (pump: 1) had a sign on it to pay inside. She then elected not to use said pump and backed her car up and heard the operator of MV1 activate his horn. She stopped and was unaware that she struck MV1. When she saw the operator of MV 1 exit his vehicle, she assumed he was going to pump gas. She then stated she left the gas station because she was frustrated and did not intend to leave the scene of an accident. I advised the operator of MV2 that since I was unable to speak with her that night, I had already issued her MA Criminal Citation:T2013367 for violating one count of MGL. Ch. 90 S. 24 (Leaving The Scene Of An Accident After Property Damage) via mail and advised her how to proceed.","[""Bus"", ""Citation"", ""Crash"", ""Night"", ""Phone"", ""Solar""]","[""Reckless driving""]",[10],/static/reports/2000000023.pdf,/static/images/2000000023.png,"325 Boylston St, Newton, MA 02459, USA",42.3194892,-71.1817056,0,2020-10-06T16:52:42.430220

There I observed MV1 in contact with the building used by retail store TJ MAXX. The operator, Beverly Linsky, was already outside the vehicle. I assisted Linsky to a bench where she was evaluated by Fallon medics. Linsky refused medical treatment. She stated that she was ""fine"". It should be noted that despite the heavy front end damage to MV1 the airbag did not deploy. Linsky states that while attempting to park her vehicle she accidently stepped onto the gas pedal instead of the brakes and drove into the TJ MAXX store building. MV1 was towed from the scene by Tody's towing service. The store manager was notified.

2100000565,2021-07-28T13:39,2021-07-28,13:39,WATERTOWN STREET & WALNUT STREET,EAST WATERTOWN STREET,SOUTH WALNUT STREET,1,25,1,0,"On 07/28/21 at 13:39 hours, I (Traffic Unit # 523) responded to 10 Cummings Road for a past hit and run motor vehicle bicyclist crash which occurred approximately twenty minutes prior. Dispatch updated units that the accident occurred at the intersection of Watertown and Walnut Streets and that a white colored SUV left the scene after striking the bicyclist. The white SUV was last seen heading southbound on Walnut Street towards Washington Street. The bicyclist then walked back home to 10 Cummings Road and told her mother about the incident. The mother then notified NPD. Watertown Street and Walnut Street are both public ways maintained by the City of Newton. It is a four way intersection with crosswalks on every side. There are no turn on red signs on every corner of the intersection. The weather at the time was partly cloudy and sunny and the road conditions were dry. On arrival at 10 Cummings Road, I spoke to the mother identified as Vanessa Cruz and her daughter, Angelique Cruz, who was involved in the crash. Fallon Ambulance was already on scene and a patient refusal was signed as Angelique did not have any injuries. I asked Angelique what had occurred and she stated that she left FA Day Middle School at approximately 13:00 hours. It is estimated that the crash took place between 13:10 and 13:20 hours. She was then bicycling down to the intersection of Walnut & Watertown Streets. She says that she pushed the walk signal button to cross the street at the crosswalk to continue southbound on Walnut Street towards Lowell Avenue. Once the cross signal light activated, she bicycled through the crosswalk. At the tail end of the crosswalk, her rear bicycle tire on the right side was struck by a white SUV making a right turn on to Walnut Street from Watertown Street. She was then knocked to the ground where she sustained a scrape mark to her left knee on her sweat pants. The white SUV continued southbound on to Walnut Street without stopping. She feels that the driver might of misjudged taking the right turn and never realized that she struck her. Angelique says she only saw a female operator in the SUV and could not determine the race or age. She also did not observe the registration on the vehicle. She further stated that a female assisted her up from the ground. Once she said she was fine she then proceeded home. No one else phoned 911 regarding the incident. At this point, I asked to see the bicycle which was stored away. The bicycle is a Schwinn Sidewinder 21 speed color black with lime green block style writing for the brand and model on it. Both tires have white reflectors attached to them. I observed no damage to the bicycle. At the time of the crash, Angelique stated she was wearing purple sweat pants, blue sweater, and no bicycle helmet. She was also carrying a black backpack attached to her rear shoulders. I took digital photos of Angelique along with her Schwinn bicycle. After, I went over to the intersection of Watertown and Walnut Streets and took photos of the scene. A canvass was also conducted that produced negative results. I observed no surveillance cameras on the buildings or residences that are near the intersection. At 109 Walnut Street, I spoke to several tenants in the six unit apartment complex and they have no security cameras. 583 Watertown Street has no cameras along with 592 Watertown Street. I also checked near the intersection of Walnut and Washington Streets as the white SUV was last seen heading in that direction. The Trio apartment complex along with other businesses are lined against both streets and have outside security cameras. I spoke to the leasing office and they stated that the cameras do not provide any coverage of the street area.","[""Bike"", ""Bus"", ""Crash"", ""Crosswalk"", ""Ems"", ""Helmet"", ""Phone"", ""Pictures"", ""School"", ""Solar"", ""Speed"", ""Walk""]","[""Signs/Signals"", ""Reckless driving""]","[3, 10]",/static/reports/2100000565.pdf,/static/images/2100000565.png,"Watertown St & Walnut St, Newton, MA 02460, USA",42.3558464,-71.2090275,0,2021-08-02T16:27:06.092717

The weather at the time of this crash was clear and sunny. The road surface in the area of the crash was dry. Langley Road and Hamlet Street are both public ways maintained by the City of Newton. I approached the area of the crash coming from Boylston Street and when I arrived my attention was drawn to two locations on Langley Road. I observed a female party laying prone on the sidewalk area of Langley Road (E) at the Hamlet Street intersection. This female party, later identified as Ms. Melinda Conroy, was being attended to by passerby's in the area. My attention was then drawn to an overturned vehicle resting half in the roadway/half on the sidewalk (W) in front of 323 Langley Road. As I began to run over to the vehicle, I observed a woman standing next to the vehicle screaming frantically. This party identified herself as the driver of the lone vehicle involved, Ms. Natalya Kabanovsky (S65512051). There were parties at the back of the vehicle yelling to me that there was a woman trapped under the vehicle and that they were holding the vehicle up to get her out. I ran over to the rear of the vehicle and observed a female party, later identified as Ms. Annette Sooper, lying underneath the vehicle in the roadway. There was a large pool of blood on the roadway as the result of a laceration to what appeared to be her head/face area. Due to the unknown stability of the vehicle resting on its roof, and due to the passerby's stating they were holding the vehicle up so it did not roll over onto Ms. Sooper, I reached under the vehicle from the rear, grabbed Ms. Sooper's person, and dragged her away from the vehicle to a safe location on the sidewalk. At this time, I observed a large laceration to Ms. Sooper's head and she stated she had suffered a leg injury. Newton Fire and Medics along with additional Police units arrived on scene and took over rendering aid to the victims. I then started to conduct my investigation into the crash. I spoke with the operator of the vehicle, Ms. Kabanovsky. Ms. Kabanovsky stated she was operating her 2005 Lexus ES330 (MA: 293TAB) on Hamlet Street (W) towards Langley Road. Ms. Kabanovsky stated as she approached the intersection, a female party (Ms. Conroy) ahead of her was running across Langley Road (S) at Hamlet Street. Ms. Kabanovsky stated she attempted to hit her brakes, but instead hit her gas pedal. Ms. Kabanovsky's vehicle crashed into Ms. Conroy and then she panicked. Ms. Kabanovsky stated her car then accelerated across the street and crashed. Ms. Kabanovsky stated she was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash and extricated herself from her vehicle after it rolled over onto its roof. I requested Ms. Kabonovsky's license while speaking to her, but she was too upset to located it. I queried Ms. Kabanovsky's license and registration status through Newton Dispatch. Ms. Kabanovsky's license stated is expired as of 12/18/2016. Ms. Kabanovsky registration is active. I observed substantial damage to the entire front end, driver, and passenger side of Ms. Kabanovsky vehicle. Ms. Kabanovsky was evaluated by Newton Medics and complained of right arm pain. Ms. Kabanovsky was also visibly distraught and expressed concern over the two pedestrians involved in the crash. Ms. Kabanovsky was transported to Brigham and Women's Hospital for treatment. I briefly spoke with Ms. Melinda Conroy as she was being attended to by Newton Medics and Fire. Ms. Conroy stated she was running on Langley Road (S) and observed MV1 traveling on Hamlet Street (W) towards Langley Road. Ms. Conroy stated she believed MV1 was slowing down and coming to a stop. Ms. Conroy stated she waved at the vehicle and as she crossed the intersection, MV1 accelerated and crashed into her left side. Ms. Conroy stated she flipped over the vehicle and landed on the roadway. Ms. Conroy was conscious and alert when speaking to Newton Medics and was transported to Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital in Boston. I later spoke with Ms. Conroy after her release from the hospital. Ms. Conroy stated she suffered some bumps and bruises had no major injuries. Officer Pohlman spoke with Ms. Sooper prior to her transport to Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital in Boston by Newton Medics. Ms. Sooper stated she was walking on the sidewalk in front of 323 Langley Road after returning from Newton Centre. Ms. Sooper stated as she was walking, she observed MV1 hit Ms. Conroy and then travel across the street in front of her into a tree. Ms. Sooper stated she does not remember what happened after that. I spoke with Ms. Sooper's son at NPD HQ and was advised Ms. Sooper was admitted to the hospital and suffered a fracture of her left hip and required 6 staples to close a laceration on her head. Tody's Towing responded to the scene and removed MV1 from the roadway. Traffic Officer Wilson took pictures of the scene and submitted them to the IT Bureau. After speaking with all parties involved, Ms. Kabanovsky will be cited with Massachusetts Uniform Citation 494688AB in hand at her residence for Chapter 90, Section 10 (Unlicensed Operation), Chapter 90, Section 24 (Operate To Endanger), and Newton City Ordinance Chapter 19, Section 75 (Fail To Use Care). Ms Kabanovsky was also cited with Massachusetts Uniform Citation 494800AB in hand at her residence for Chapter 90, Section 13A (Fail To Wear A Seat Belt).
