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 road conditions were dry and Washington Street is a public way maintained by the City of Newton. 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.

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.
