I spoke to the operator of MV1, who told me that he was driving Eastbound on Vine St, he turned on his left directional and began to pull into his driveway at 78 Vine St. The operator of MV 2 attempted to pass MV 1 on the left hand side crashing into MV1. MV2 put the vehicle in reverse and left the scene. The operator of MV1 said that the front bumper of MV2 had fallen off in the collision with MA License plate 4KZ917 still attached. The owner of that vehicle lives in Boston, so Boston Police were notified. I attempted to make contact with the owner of MV 2 with negative results. Update January 1, 2019 16:15 hours: I was able to contact the owner of MV2, who admitted that she was the operator of the vehicle and that she was in the vehicle alone. The operator of MV2 said that the operator of MV1 was driving very slow and stopped in the right lane so she attempted to pass the vehicle. MV1 began turning and MV2 struck MV1. The operator of MV 1 said that she was nervous and left the scene because her phone died and attempted to contact the Newton Police in the morning. I am mailing citation T1441275 to Cecelia Spangenberg for MGL90/24C, leaving the scene of property damage. Photographs of the bumper have been submitted to IT to be attached to this report. The license plate was logged into evidence and placed into property and evidence locket #8.","[""Citation"", ""Crash"", ""Fatal"", ""Phone"", ""Pictures""]","[""Reckless driving"", ""Wrong way""]","[""10"", ""8""]",/static/reports/1900000001.pdf,/static/images/1900000001.png,"78 Vine St, Chestnut Hill, MA 02467, USA",42.3034656,-71.1725852,0,2020-10-06T16:44:32.765630
1900000451,2019-05-04T09:47,2019-05-04,09:47,273 DEDHAM ST,NORTH 273 DEDHAM ST,,0,30,0,1,"On 05/04/19 at approximately 09:47 a citizen called in a vehicle that was parked on Elinor Rd near Woodcliff Rd with heavy damage. The anonymous caller stated the car had been parked there for at least 4 hours. Upon arrival Mass Reg #4FJ861 a 2004 Grey Honda Accord was spotted parked crooked in the road with its back bumper missing, bent drivers side rim and flat tire and large dent in the middle of the front bumper. Dispatch was able to get in touch with the vehicle owner Jaleh Jalili who stated her son Pouya Jalili was driving her car last night. While canvassing the neighborhood of Elinor Rd , Sgt. O'Connell was able to find a tire marks on a lawn and a downed ""Sharp Bend"" sign in front of #273 Dedham St. This crash site is approximately 1/4 mile away from where the parked car was found. I went to #273 Dedham St and witnessed fresh tire marks that went up on the curb onto the lawn of #273 Dedham St, over a vacant sign post hole and then a ""Sharp Bend"" sign that was half bent and then resting in the South brake down lane of Dedham St.. There was also a plastic black part of a car along with two (2) metal parts to the under side heat shield of an exhaust. The owner of #273 Dedham St was not home so I left a message on his door regarding this incident. Tody's was called and David showed up and towed the car from the scene. Officer Hagopian went to the residence of Pouya Jalili and spoke with him. Pouya told Officer Hagopian that he was involved in a spin out somewhere on Rt 9. in Wellesley and his bumper became detached. He then pulled into the CVS in Newton at #978 Boylston St where he pulled his bumper the rest of the way off. He then told Officer Hagopian that he continued down Rt 9 until he realized his car wouldn't make it any further and that's when he pulled off and parked on Elinor Rd. He then called a friend to pick him up and drive him home. On the way back to the station I stopped by #978 Boylston St with Officer Benes. He found a Grey rear bumper which is believed to belong to Pouya Jalili's car. I called David Donahue (Tow Driver) and asked that he look under the Honda to see if it had its heat shield. Donahue responded back that Mass Reg# 4FJ861 was missing its heat shield. I then drove to #93 Waltham St and spoke with Pouya Jalili with his mother Jaleh present. Pouya restated the same story he told Officer Hagopian and that he never struck anything in Newton nor was he drinking. Pouya said he might have been in a rush because he wanted to get home before his junior operator curfew. After finishing my interview with Pouya, I went to my cruiser and wrote Mass Criminal Citation #T1444231 for Ch 90/ Sec 24-Leaving the Scene of Property Damage (lawn and sign damage), Ch 90 / Sec 24-Operating to Endanger(putting the public at risk by driving up on the sidewalk) and Ch 89/ Sec 4a- Marked Lanes Violation (crossing Dedham St marked double yellow lines) and handed it to Pouya. I took pictures of the scene where the car was found, the crash site at #273 Dedham St and the bumper found at CVS and placed the disk in an envelope. The envelope was t.o.t. our I.T. Bureau for attachment to this report. Jaleh said her son was returning to Alabama tomorrow to finish high school and then he would be attending The University of Alabama in the Fall. I advised Jaleh about the Criminal Application process. As of today 05/04/19, Pouya has an active Massachusetts License and no B.O.P..Wellesley P.D. was notified of this incident in case they came across new damage on Rt 9.","[""Citation"", ""Crash"", ""Night"", ""Pictures"", ""School""]","[""Wrong way""]",[8],/static/reports/1900000451.pdf,/static/images/1900000451.png,"273 Dedham St, Newton, MA 02461, USA",42.3108512,-71.2029856,0,2020-10-06T16:46:30.222157

Upon arrival, I observed a utility pole broken in half, wires hanging in the street, and also a transformer on the ground. Fire and medics responded. Other police units were able to block the street from traffic. I spoke to witness, HARRIS, who stated that she was traveling Southbound on Adam Street when she saw MV1 in the wrong lane traveling toward her at a high rate of speed. HARRIS stated that MV1 then turned into the utility pole located outside of 109. MV1 took out the pole, side swiped MV2 and then hit MV3 head on. Operator of MV1 stated that he was traveling Northbound on Adam Street when he sneezed. At this point, he said his eyes were off the road and the next thing he could remember was being in the parking lot of 109 Adam Street after the accident. There was significant damage to the front of MV1 with airbag deployment. Operator of MV1 was checked out by the medics for a head injury and signed a refusal. Operator of MV1 was asked if he had consumed any alcohol or taken any medication today and he declined. Officer Spinney (N491) asked if he was willing to do a Field Sobriety Test, and he stated yes. Operator of MV1 did not show any signs of intoxication. Operator of MV2 stated that he had parked his car outside of 109 Adam Street and was sitting in the driver seat when he was hit by MV1 and also the utility pole.

The weather at the time of the crash was overcast with light rain. The road surface at the location of the crash was wet. Park Street and Alba Circle are public ways maintained by the City of Newton. Park Street supports two way travel (N, S) with no marked divider to indicate travel lanes. I spoke with the operator of the 2013 Nissan Juke (MA: 137LX7) involved in the crash, Ms. Cynthia Cowan (S59504510). Ms. Cowan stated she was traveling on Park Street (N) towards Alba Circle. Ms. Cowan stated ahead of her there was a large landscaping truck (MA CON: X1515, 2001 Ford DRWSUP) parked on the right side of the roadway and blocking her lane of travel. Ms. Cowan stated she looked ahead of the landscaping truck and did not see any traffic coming towards her in the opposite lane. Ms. Cowan stated she entered the opposite lane of travel (S) to pass the parked landscaping truck and continue down Park Street. Ms. Cowan stated as she was traveling past the front of the landscaping truck, she crashed into a standing mower that had entered the roadway. Ms. Cowan stated the mower entered the roadway from in front of the parked landscaping truck. Ms. Cowan stated because of her obstructed view from the landscaping truck, she did not see the mower until it was too late. Ms. Cowan stated she stopped her vehicle and observed the operator of the mower on the sidewalk in front of 248 Park Street. I observed damage to the front passenger fender/bumper/wheel area with airbag deployment from the driver seat. I also observed yellow paint transfer on the front bumper area consistant with the color of the mower involved. MV1 was removed from the roadway by Tody's Towing. Ms. Cowan signed a patient refusal with Newton Medics and walked home from the crash site. The other party involved in the crash is a landscaper for 4 Seasons Services. I observed a yellow Wright Standing Mower 52"" resting on the side of the roadway in the Northbound lane. The mower has significant damage to its front portion. 4 Seasons Services removed the mower from the roadway. A worker on scene estimated the value of the mower to be $11,000.00. Photos were taken of the mower, MV1, and the roadway and submited to the IT Bureau. The injured party, Mr. Louis Padilla-Gonzalez (S32927586), was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital for a left shoulder injury and an injury to the left side of his face. I spoke with Mr. Padilla-Gonzalez in the emergency room with the assitance of a language translation service set up by the nursing staff there. Mr. Padilla-Gonzalez stated he was operating the standing mower and left the sidewalk into the road. Mr. Padilla-Gonzalez stated he drove by the front of the parked landscaping truck and when he got into the street he saw a car coming towards him fast. Mr. Padilla-Gonzalez stated he tried to reverse the mower and get out of the way, but he could not because of the wet roadway. Mr. Padilla-Gonzalez stated he was hit by MV1 and thrown from the mower to the street. After speaking with Ms. Cowan and Mr. Padilla-Gonzalez, it appears both parties had their view of the roadway obstructed due to where the 4 Seasons Services landscaping truck (MA CON: X1515) was parked. I did not observe any posted parking restrictions where the vehicle was parked, but due to the size of the vehicle it did take up the entire Northbound travel lane in front of 248 Park Street. The location of the parked landscaping truck and the wet road surface contributed to the crash. There were no witnesses to the crash.","[""Airbag"", ""Crash"", ""Hospital"", ""Ped"", ""Pictures"", ""Rain"", ""Walk""]","[""Wrong way""]",[8],/static/reports/2100000428.pdf,/static/images/2100000428.png,"248 Park St, Newton, MA 02458, USA",42.3484979,-71.1826571,0,2021-06-16T16:27:05.958211
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
