The operator of MV1 stated she was traveling Westbound on Washington St. at Church St. in the left travel lane and was coming to a stop behind several other cars at the red light. She stated as the light turned green she was struck from behind by MV2. As she proceeded to pull over, MV2 continued to travel Westbound on Washington St. and didn't stop. MV1 sustained minor damage to the right rear and was able to drive away from the scene safely. MV2 came back registered to GOMES, Leonel of 72 High St. Waltham, and dispatch requested Waltham PD respond to check for the vehicle. Waltham PD located the vehicle in the driveway and the registered owner was sitting in the vehicle. An ELMUS, Elmer was on scene to translate for the operator as he only spoke Spanish. Dispatch relayed to me that there was no status found on GOMES' license, and upon speaking to GOMES and ELMUS they confirmed he did not have a license or passport. GOMES relayed to ELMUS that he was aware that he struck MV1 at the intersection of Washington St. at Church St. He stated that the light was green and that he was traveling Westbound on Washington St behind MV1. He attempted to brake and turned his wheel to the right to avoid the crash, but struck MV1 in the right rear. He stated that he thought MV1 was going to leave so he didn't stop and drove back to his residence in Waltham. MV2 sustained minor damage to the front left bumper. All parties involved were uninjured.
