On August 1, 2019 at approximately 17:34 hours I, Officer Guarino, responded with Newton Fire and Medics for a report of a single vehicle crash into the building of 335 Boylston St. Upon arrival, the operator and sole occupant of the vehicle was out of the vehicle and had minor injuries. MV1 struck a stop sign and was up against 335 Boylston St, which appeared to have a broken window and minor structural damage. Operator of MV1 said that he was traveling in the right lane of Boylston St (Westbound) when a white Mercedes sedan (unknown model or registration number) turned into his lane and almost struck his vehicle. Operator of MV1 swerved to the right to avoid a collision and as a result crashed into the stop sign on John St. and the side of 335 Boylston St. Witness 1, who was parked at 325 Boylston St. saw the incident and corroborated MV1's story. A second witness, who I was unable to make contact with stopped and gave MV1 his phone number of (508)215-4951 and texted MV1 that he caught up with the possible vehicle, MA Reg 9BT373, which comes back to DESOUZA PLASTERING SERVICES INC. I will attempt to make contact with an operator during their business hours. The owner of 335 Boylston St, Onir Spiegel, was on scene, was given the incident number and was advised to contact her insurance company. MV1 was towed from the scene by Tody's and the operator signed a patient refusal from the Medics. Pictures were taken at the scene of the damage and submitted to IT to be attached to this report. Sergeant McLean notified the DPW for the stop sign and glass in the roadway. Sergeant McLean also left a message for Newton Inspectional Services to come inspect damage to the building at a later time.
