On Thursday, August 8th 2019, at approximately 8:25pm, I, Officer Brooks, was parked in front of 719 Washington street facing westbound. I looked into my side view mirror to pull into traffic and observed MV1 (MA REG 118GL4) parked behind me with the driver's side door open. The operator was leaning into the car to retrieve an item, and then stood up and turned around to close the door. I observed MV2(IN REG VWI565) traveling westbound, at what I estimated to be 45 miles per hour. MV2 struck the open door of MV1, narrowly missing operator #1. MV1 sustained major damage to the driver's side door and was towed by Tody's. MV2 had heavy damage to the passenger side front end. The operator of MV2 was placed under arrest for Operating under the influence of alcohol after investigation. MV2 was towed by Tody's. There were no injuries as a result of the accident.
