MV1, a City of Newton contracted school van, was the first car stopped at the red light north on Walnut St at Homer St. MV2 was slowing as she approached the red light and rear ended MV1. According to MV1, driver of MV2 got out of her MV and looked at both MVs. She then got back into her car and when the light turned green they both pulled over just past the intersection. MV2 asked MV1 if she hit him and he stated yes. She stated that she did not see his van, which is bright blue. MV2 operator stated to me that she was stopped at the traffic light and thought MV1 backed into her. When I told her MV1 statement she didn't argue. There was minimal damage to MV1. The outline of MV2 license plate was imprinted in dust on the bumper. There was no visible damage to MV2. I took pictures of the damage to MV1 and MV2.
