Upon arrival myself and n496(Ofc. Howes) observed a white SUV on its roof facing westbound in the eastbound lane of Vine Street (a public way owned, operated and maintained by the City of Newton). Upon our arrival Newton Firefighters had extracated the operator, (FOSTER Isabelle), who was sitting on a large rock in the front yard of 130 Vine Street. FOSTER was visibly upset, but didnt appear to have any major injuries. I asked FOSTER what happened and she stated she was travelling from Westgate Rd in Boston on her way home to Wellesley. She took a right turn onto Vine Street from LaGrange Street and began travelling westbound. FOSTER stated that she was travelling too fast and didnt realize how the road curved causing her to veer off the road and strike a large tree in the front of 130 Vine Street. FOSTER was travelling at a speed fast enough to cause the vehicle to flip onto its roof in the opposite lane of traffic. FOSTER admitted to me she was travelling too fast on the road. Vine street is a winding road that is not very well lit. Speed limit on the road is 20mph and its estimated FOSTER was travelling at least 30-45mph. The speed coupled with FOSTER's lack of familiarity with the area and her inexperience driving were all contributing factors to the crash. FOSTER was issued Massachusetts Uniform Citation T2012909 with the following civil motor vehicle infractions; C90 s18 SPEEDING (Posted) C89 s4a Marked Lanes Violation. FOSTER was transported to Beth Israel hospital by the medics and I was unable to issue the citation in hand at the time of the crash. Due to FOSTER's age (17) I also wanted to notify her parents and meet with them and FOSTER upon her release from the hospital. At approximately 1700 Hours I met with Scott Foster(Father) in person, Jodi Foster (Mother) and Isabelle foster via cell phone (speaker phone). I discussed the charges with all parties and explained the citation to Isabelle. Citation was given in hand to her father, Scott Foster and brough the citation to Isabelle.","[""Citation"", ""Crash"", ""Fire"", ""Hospital"", ""Phone"", ""Speed"", ""Tree""]","[""Speeding"", ""Inattention""]","[2, 19]",/static/reports/2000000621.pdf,/static/images/2000000621.png,"130 Vine St, Chestnut Hill, MA 02467, USA",42.3028431,-71.1704502,0,2020-12-27T11:33:34

Both Tremont St and Waverly Ave are public ways in the City of Newton. Qualter stated that she was driving into solar glare and did not see any traffic in the intersection as she proceeded into it.

David stated that west bond traffic on Tremont St had a green light and that vehicle one did not stop at a red light. Based upon statements made to me and my observations of the involved vehicles, I issued Qualter MA Citation T2016100 and cited her for a violation of MGL 89/9 , failure to stop at a red light. I took photos of both vehicles and the disk was downloaded by the NPD's IT Bureau. Both vehicles were towed by Tody's Towing, and I filled out towed motor vehicle forms. During my investigation of this crash I discovered that the motor scooter that Ward was operating is classified as a motorcycle, because it's cylinder capacity exceeded 50cc. Ward's vehicle speedometer indicted that it's top speed was 50 MPH, and it's VIN tag stated it was a motorcycle. I observed that there was no license plate on Ward's vehicle and he stated to me that it was unregistered.

Zandman stated that while on scene Dexter called his mother Jess Jagoditish who immediately responded to the scene. Zandman stated that he exchanged information with Jess Jagoditish who then took Dexter home. Zandman states that a witness Mia Martin was also on scene. At approximately 1425hrs I called and spoke to Dexter and his mother Jess Jagoditish. Dexter states that he was walking on the sidewalk near 483 Centre St. Dexter states that he wanted to cross Centre St and thought there were no cars coming.
