At approximately 1830HRs on Friday, February 1, 2019, I was dispatched to the intersection of Austin St. and Lowell Ave. for a report of an MVA. Upon arrival, I spoke with the operator of MV1 (MA Pass: 4AD259), who stated that she was traveling Northbound on Lowell Ave. when MV2 entered the intersection after stopping at his stop sign and did so when she was too close, which caused her to collide with MV2. I spoke to the operator of MV2 (NH Pass: 3745570), who stated that he was stopped at his stop sign on Austin St. and that he believes MV1 was in his blind spot because he did not see it. Thinking there was no other traffic, he entered the intersection and attempted to continue Eastbound on Austin St., when his vehicle collided with MV1. On scene, I observed that Austin St. is controlled on both the East and West sides of Lowell Ave. by stop signs, while Lowell Ave. has no traffic controls at that intersection. I noted damage to the right fender area and what appeared to be a broken right front axle on MV2. I observed MV1 to have minor damage to its left front bumper area. Both parties stated they were uninjured, MV2 was towed from the scene by Todys Services and I cleared without incident.
