The parking lot is a public/thru way that motorists use to access the Star Market along with other businesses. The weather at the time was cloudy and rainy and the parking lot was saturated. Prior to my arrival, the pedestrian involved left the scene and did not want to speak to the officer nor wanted medical attention. Ofc. Claflin then cancelled Cataldo Ambulance. The pedestrian, Mary Alexander, left her information with a store employee prior to leaving. I spoke to the operator of MV # 1 (Joshua Randel MD Lic.# R534440603244) who stated that he was travelling through the third row of the Star Market parking lot at an appropriate speed. He was then attempting to make a left turn near the entrance/exit of the store. He says that there was a large white van parked in the end handicapped spot towards the left of him. He says the van was sticking out in the spot limiting his visibility. As he was half way through his left turn and coming around the corner, he was not able to see a pedestrian pushing a shopping carriage. He then struck the carriage that was being pushed by Mary Alexander. He further says that the cart jolted Ms. Alexander and she fell down to the ground. At the time, Alexander was walking through the lot near the store entrance heading back towards the parked cars. She was not in the crosswalk at the time which was approximately ten feet down from her location. After, I attempted to go to Ms. Alexander's residence to follow up. I spoke to her friend who was bringing up Alexander's groceries and she stated that she decided to go to Newton Wellesley Hospital for treatment. I then spoke to Ms. Alexander in the lobby of the hospital. She stated that she was exiting the store through the lot with her shopping carriage. She believes she was approximately eight feet away from the door when all of a sudden she only saw red coming at her. She believes MV # 1 was speeding at the time. I asked her if she was struck by the vehicle or was the shopping carriage only struck. She replied that she did not know and only remembers falling to the ground after. She sustained a large bruise to the inside palm area of her right hand and her left knee was swollen. Digital photos of the scene were taken and pictures of Ms. Alexander's injuries were taken at the hospital. As far as possible video surveillance, I was told that the Loss Prevention Department has to access the video. On 11/13/19 at approximately 14:20 hours, I went in to the Star Market and spoke to the manager, Nidal Rajeh, inquiring about possible video surveillance. He said there is coverage in the parking lot and he was able to show me the video. A copy of the video would have to be done by Loss Prevention which I requested. I observed at the 12:12pm mark in the video, MV # 1 was parked five spots up from the third row of the lot that he was exiting. I also observed a white transport van parked in the end handicapped spot mentioned by the operator but it was parked correctly and not limiting visibility. Next, MV # 1 backs out of the spot and drives forward going at a reasonable speed. The pedestrian (Alexander) has already exited the store with her carriage and is walking at an angle toward the same third row of parked cars. As the pedestrian is walking towards the direction of MV # 1, it appears that the pedestrian should be visible to him. MV # 1 then starts to take the left turn around the corner without slowing or stopping and strikes the carriage head on. Due to the impact, Alexander then loses grasp of the carriage and it goes past her twisting her body around. She then hits and rolls up on the hood of the vehicle on her left side. MV # 1 then suddenly stops and immediately gets out and provides assistance to the pedestrian.

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

Commonwealth Avenue and Lowell Avenue are both public ways maintained by the City of Newton. The weather at the time of the crash was overcast with light rain. The road surface at the time of the crash was wet. Feeney Brothers Utilities has been performing gas repair services at this intersection for the past month and they have had a paid Newton Police Detail with them during their service. The detail presented itself as follows on my arrival. There was service being conducted in the northbound lane of Lowell Avenue in-between the Commonwealth Avenue carriage roads. A large trench was present in the northbound lane that made the roadway impassible. Traffic was permitted to travel down the southbound lane of Lowell Avenue towards Commonwealth Avenue for the detail. Access to Lowell Avenue from Commonwealth Avenue was prohibited. The northbound lane was blocked by orange construction cones and road closed signs. There was also no access to the Commonwealth Avenue carriage roads at this location. Both of these roadways were closed with orange construction cones and caution tape. There was also caution tape and orange construction cones restricting access to a walkway that traveled from Commonwealth Avenue to its carriage road just after Lowell Avenue (E). I also observed a ""Sidewalk Closed"" sign posted on the walkway. I spoke with Officer Gabriel of the Newton Police Department. Officer Gabriel stated he was working a paid detail for Feeney Brothers at this location. Officer Gabriel stated he had just assisted two female parties cross Commonwealth Avenue (E) at Lowell Avenue. Officer Gabriel stated a short time later, he heard a scream and observed two female parties laying on the roadway on the opposite side of Commonwealth Avenue in the carriage road. Officer Gabriel immediately contacted Newton Police Dispatch via his portable radio and requested aid for the injured parties. Prior to my arrival, Officer Gabriel stated one of the pedestrians was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital with a head injury. I spoke with one of the pedestrians involved in the crash, Ms. April Stein. Ms. Stein stated she was walking in the carriage road of Commonwealth Avenue (E) towards Lowell Avenue with her friend Sarah Kish. Ms. Stein stated when they got to Lowell Avenue there was work being done in the roadway, and a Police Officer assisted them with crossing the area. Ms. Stein stated they then re-entered the carriage road when they crossed Lowell Avenue. Ms. Stein stated they were walking along the edge of the roadway when they were hit by a front loader. Ms. Stein stated they fell to the roadway due to the collision. Ms. Stein stated she did not hear or see the front loader backing up towards them and did not notice it because they were having an ""intense conversation"". Ms. Stein reported no injuries and signed a patient refusal with Fallon Medics. I asked Ms. Stein if she had transportation to her residence. Ms. Stein stated she would walk home. I spoke with the operator of the front loader involved in the crash, Mr. Mark Mannion (S91049325). Mr. Mannion is an employee of Feeney Brothers Utilities and stated he was operating a 2015 Case Loader (MA CON: R99118) at the time of the crash. Mr. Mannion stated he was backing up the loader down the Commonwealth Avenue carriage road (E) from Lowell Avenue. Mr. Mannion stated he was going to get a load of fill from a pile of dirt on the side of the road inside the marked off work area. Mr. Mannion stated as he was backing up, he was looking over his right should behind him to make sure there were no obstacles in his way. Mr. Mannion stated his emergency backing alarm was activated while he was backing up. Mr. Mannion stated he noticed something enter the roadway to his right side and immediately slammed on his brake. Mr. Mannion stated then heard a scream and saw 2 female parties on the ground. Mr. Mannion stated he exited the loader and checked on the welfare of the two women. Mr. Mannion's CDL License, Vehicle Registration, and Hoisting License are all active. I asked Mr. Mannion to put the vehicle in reverse to assess if the emergency backing alarm was functioning properly. Mr. Mannion was cooperative and while reversing the vehicle the emergency backing alarm was functioning properly in my presence. I asked Mr. Mannion if the loader had moved since it was brought to a stop due to the crash. Mr. Mannions stated it had not moved. I observed this vehicle to be within the parameters of the work zone that was taped off. The vehicle at this time was released back to Feeney Brothers. Photos were taken of the work site and loader and submitted to the IT Bureau. I responded to Newton Wellesley Hospital and spoke with Ms. Sarah Kish (S85088490) in the Emergency Room. Ms. Kish stated she was walking down the Commonwealth Avenue carriage road (E) towards Lowell Avenue with her friend April Stein. Ms. Kish stated a Police Officer assisted them with crossing Lowell Avenue via the crosswalk located on Commonwealth Avenue. Ms. Kish stated after they crossed Lowell Avenue, they walked to the carriage road. Ms. Kish stated as they were walking, she was hit from behind by a front loader in the roadway. Ms. Kish stated she did not hear or see the front loader and believes the bucket hit her in the head. Ms. Kish stated she fell to the roadway. Ms. Kish was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital for her injuries. Ms. Kish stated at this moment, she had some lacerations to her back and head, and her left shoulder/neck/back area was sore. I asked Ms. Kish how often she walks that particular route. Ms. Kish stated 5 times a week. Ms. Kish stated there was nothing in place to restrict her access down to the carriage road after she crossed Lowell Avenue. I spoke with a witness to the crash via telephone, Ms. Megan Boitano. Ms. Boitano stated she was traveling on Lowell Avenue (N) towards Commonwealth Avenue. Ms. Boitano stated she was stopped at the light right next to the trench that was in the northbound lane of Lowell Avenue. Ms. Boitano stated she observed two women crossing Lowell Avenue at Commonwealth Avenue in front of her. Ms. Boitano stated she then observed a heavy piece of construction equipment approaching the trench to her left at a high rate of speed. Ms. Boitano stated it startled her as the front loader dumped dirt into the trench. Ms. Boitano stated she then observed the front loader back down the carriage road at a high rate of speed towards a dirt pile. Ms. Boitano stated she observed the two women that just crossed Lowell Avenue in the roadway behind the front loader. Ms. Boitano stated she lost sight of the women, and then observed the front portion of the front loader aggressively shake. Ms. Boitano stated she then observed one of the women walk around from the side of the front loader holding her head. As presented while investigating this crash, the Feeny Brothers work site appeared to be properly set up to mitigate a potential safety incident with ample cones, barriers, caution tape, and signage. There was also a police detail present to assist with pedestrian travel. The area of the work zone where the pedestrans entered from Commonwealth Avenue after crossing Lowell Avenue was taped off with caution tape and a sidewalk closed sign was present. The crash happened inside the work zone parameters.","[""Crash"", ""Crosswalk"", ""Hospital"", ""Ped"", ""Pictures"", ""Rain"", ""Speed"", ""Walk""]",[],[],/static/reports/2100000528.pdf,/static/images/2100000528.png,"1087 Commonwealth Avenue, Newton, MA 02459, USA",42.3384414,-71.2113856,0,2021-07-21T16:27:06.312300

Wade of the Newton Police Traffic Bureau at 0032 hours. Sgt. Wade stated a serious motor vehicle crash occurred on Washington Street in Newton and it involved a City of Newton marked police cruiser (N494). Sgt. Wade stated Officer Katelyn Pohlman and the operator of the other vehicle involved were transported to the hospital with potential serious injuries. I was requested by Sgt. Wade to respond to the scene from my residence and investigate the crash further. On arrival at the scene, I observed the two vehicles involved in the crash to be a 2015 Ford Explorer (MA: 586RT7) and Newton Police marked unit N494 (MA MVN: MP494B). These vehicles were observed disabled on the roadway in front of 612 Washington Street, Newton. There was a large debris field comprised of various parts from both vehicles on the roadway and in the parking lot of 612 Washington Street. The road surface at the time of my arrival was wet and there was light rain falling. Sgt. Wade reported that at the time of the crash the road was completely dry and it had not started to rain yet. Washington Street is a public way maintained by the City of Newton. The portion of Washington Street where the crash took place supports two- way travel, Eastbound and Westbound. There are two travel lanes in both directions. Travel direction is divided by a double yellow line in the middle of the roadway. The area is well lit and features numerous light poles illuminating the roadway. The closest intersection to this location is Crafts Street just west of the crash location. MV1 (MA: 586RT7) had substantial front-end damage, especially to its front passenger side and was inoperable. I observed this vehicle at its final rest on the roadway with its front end facing Northbound on Washington Street just over the double yellow line in the middle of the roadway. The front and side impact airbags had deployed inside the vehicle as a result of the collision. I did not observe anything hanging inside the vehicle that would have obstructed the view of the operator prior to the collision. MV1 was removed from the roadway by Tody's Towing. MV2 (MA MVN: MP494B) had substantial front end damage and was inoperable. The impact from the collision caused the vehicle to spin uncontrolled and the final rest, with the front end of the vehicle facing the front entrance to the 7-11 (S). The vehicle's final rest was on the sidewalk in front of 612 Washington Street. The front and side impact airbags had deployed inside the vehicle as a result of the collision. I did not observe anything hanging inside the vehicle that would have obstructed the view of the operator prior to the collision. MV2 was removed from the roadway by Tody's Towing. The Officer involved in the crash is Officer Katelyn Pohlman. Officer Pohlman stated she was operating Newton Police marked unit N494 on Washington Street (E) past Crafts Street. Officer Pohlman stated as she was operating her vehicle past 612 Washington Street (7-11), a vehicle in the westbound lane of Washington Street abruptly crossed the double yellow line in the roadway and entered her travel lane head-on. Officer Pohlman stated she did not have an opportunity to react to the vehicle in front of her and the front passenger side of MV1 crashed into the front end of her vehicle (MV2). Officer Pohlman sustained injuries to her left forehead area and both of her arms. Officer Pohlman was later transported to Brigham and Women's Hospital for evaluation and was released a short time later. It was reported to me by numerous Officers on scene that Officer Pohlman exited her cruiser after the crash and rather than tend to her own injuries, she focused her efforts on rendering aid to the operator of the other vehicle involved. Officer Pohlman found the operator of the other vehicle lying on the floor of the front passenger seat under the dash. Officer Pohlman rendered aid to the operator while waiting for Newton Medics to arrive. Officer Pohlman was also assisted in rendering aid to the other operator by Officer Conary and Officer Larson. Officer Larson reported that while interacting with the operator of MV1, the operator repeated numerous times, ""Is she ok? Is she ok?"". Officer Larson also stated the operator said to him ""I feel bad because I was texting on my phone"". Officer Larson stated the operator of MV1 works for the Department of Corrections Special Operations Unit and has Department issues equipment inside the vehicle. The following items were placed into Support Services, locker 9 for safekeeping by Officer Larson: 1 Gray Pelican Gun Case, 1 Black Gun Belt, 1 Taser, 1 Can OC Spray, 15 (50) Round Cases Of Ammunition. The operator of MV1 (MA: 586RT7) was identified as Mr. David Cafarelli (S16965940). Mr. Cafarelli was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital for a potential head injury before my arrival. I spoke with Mr. Cafarelli at Newton Wellesley Hospital in the Emergency Room with Sgt. Wade. Mr. Cafarelli's mother and father were present when we spoke with him. Mr. Cafarelli stated he was out with friends before the crash and was driving to the 7-11 on Washington Street. Mr. Cafarelli admitted that before the crash, he had his cell phone in his hand while he was operating his vehicle. Mr. Cafarelli stated he does not remember if he was texting or changing the music on his phone at the time of the crash. Mr. Cafarelli stated he looked up and was unable to avoid the vehicle (N494) directly in front of him. Mr. Cafarelli stated he also does not believe he applied his brakes before the collision. When we spoke with Mr. Cafarelli in the Emergency Room, he was still waiting for test results to determine the severity of his injuries. On Monday, August 23, 2021, Sgt. Wade responded to 612 Washington Street, Newton to retrieve surveillance footage from the 7-11 of the crash. 7-11 stated their outside surveillance system was not operating correctly, but they were able to capture some of the incident from a camera inside the store. I observed this footage. MV1 is observed traveling on Washington Street (W) in the westbound travel lane in front of the storefront. MV1's driver side is then observed traveling over the double yellow line in the middle of the roadway and into the eastbound lane of Washington Street. A head on collision ensues and MV1 can be seen rotating counterclockwise in the roadway backwards to its final rest location on Washington Street. MV2 is then observed at its final rest position on the sidewalk facing southbound in front of the 7-11 storefront. After completing my investigation, I have surmised the following. Mr. Cafarelli was operating his 2015 Ford Explorer (MA: 586RT7) in the area of 612 Washington Street, Newton. Mr. Cafarelli was holding his cell phone in his hand while operating his vehicle. Mr. Cafarelli became distracted while he was operating his vehicle due to his attention being focused on his cell phone. Mr. Cafarelli traveled over the double yellow line from the westbound lane of Washington Street and entered the eastbound lane of Washington Street. Newton Police marked unit N494 was traveling on Washington Street (E) in the area of 612 Washington Street at this time. Mr. Cafarelli's vehicle crashed into the front end of Newton Police marked unit N494. Mr. Cafarelli was not wearing a seatbelt and as a result of the impact from the crash, he was ejected from the driver seat and his final rest inside the vehicle was in the flood of the front passenger seat. As a result of my investigation, Mr. Cafarelli was issued Massachusetts Uniform Citation for Chapter 90, Section 13B (Hands-Free Violation), Chapter 89, Section 4a (Marked Lanes Violation), and Chapter 90, Section 13a (Seat Belt Violation).

Kelvin stated a parked vehicle on his right opened the drivers side door and struck the passenger side mirror of his truck causing minor damage. The operator of the parked vehicle identified as George Hoffman stated he was parked and opened his drivers side door and was unsure if he struck the DPW truck or the DPW truck struck his door. Minor damage to the drivers side door and panel were photographed as well as the minor damage to the DPW truck.
