Operator of vehicle 1 states she was traveling westbound on Washington St when the vehicle to her right began to enter her lane and then struck her passenger side pushing her onto the raised island. As a result vehicle 1 suffered a flat front driver side tire. Vehicle 2 did not stop and continued westbound on Washington St towards Wellesley. Operator of vehicle 1 was able to follow the other vehicle and got a license plate of MA reg#149DE7 and described the vehicle as a black sedan. AAA responded and fixed vehicle 1s flat tire and she was able to go on her way. I ran the license plate that was given for the other vehicle and it came back to a 2013 black Kia Rio sedan owned by a Dan Kuksin of 24 Bryon Rd apt 2 in Boston. I was unable to get a phone number for Kuksin. Dispatch requested Boston send a unit by to try and make contact and as of finishing this report I have not heard back. Traffic Bureau Update (Officer Gaudet): On Tuesday, July 6, 2019, I attempted to make contact with the registered owner of MV2, Daniel Kuksin (S61105670), with a negative result. A Hit and Run inquiry was mailed to the Kuksin. On 08/07/2019 the owner of MA reg#149DE7 came into headquarters to discuss what happened. With him was his father, Arkady Kuksin who was operating the vehicle at the time of the incident. Kuksin admitted to operating the vehicle in the area at the time of the incident but stated that someone had thrown a rock at his vehicle causing damage. He then stated that it was not thrown but kicked up from his tire. Myself and Officer Gaudet went outside with Kuskin and examined his vehicle and saw obvious damage that corresponded with the damage to vehicle 1. There were obvious signs of fresh paint transfer. I informed Kuksin that I would be updating my report and he would be receiving a summons in the mail for 90/24 leaving the scene property damage. i mailed Kuksin MA uniform citation T1444589.
