On 01/26/19 at 09:58 hours, I responded to a two car motor vehicle accident at Chestnut and Elliot Streets with no reported injuries. Both streets are public ways and maintained by the City of Newton. Operator of M/V # 1 (Quinn) states that she was stopped at the intersection of the above mentioned intersection going (EB) on Elliot Street. Once she received the green light signal she proceeded straight through and was struck by M/V # 2 on her passenger side. The vehicle sustained heavy damage to the passenger side front quarter panel area and it was towed by Tody's towing. Operator of M/V # 2 (Sanaguaray) states that he was operating straight ahead (NB) on Chestnut Street. He states that he thought the signal light was yellow when he proceeded through and does not recall what happened next. The vehicle sustained heavy front end damage and it was towed by Tody's towing. There were two witnesses to the accident. The first one, Karen Cherson, stated that she was traveling behind M/V # 2 when she observed him speeding and run through the red light striking M/V # 1. She said that the light was red by at least two seconds when M/V # 2 went through it. The second witness, John Quackenbush, states he was operating behind M/V # 1 when he observed their travel lane receive the green light signal. M/V # 1 then attempted to proceed through the intersection when it was struck on the passenger side by M/V # 2. Based on the two witness statements, it appears that Sanaguaray (M/V # 2) proceeded straight through the above mentioned intersection against the red light signal and struck M/V # 1. Sanaguaray was also operating a motor vehicle without a license and was issued a MA Uniform Citation # T1441052 for Ch. 89/9 and Ch. 90/10/A. He further stated that he has resided in Massachusetts for five years and was assigned a number of #S19552221 through the MA RMV but it shows no license status.
