MV1 operator, David Gorman (2017 Mazda Cx3, MA Reg:6TL761), stated that he was traveling from Commonwealth Ave turning right on Lexington St heading NORTH when he realized the vehicle behind him was following him very closely. MV1 continued to drive on Lexington St when MV2 (2015 Toyota Highlander, MA Reg: 6VS151), started to beep at him continuously and went over the double yellow line in an attempt to pass MV1. MV2 was unable to pass MV1 because of oncoming traffic so MV2 steered to get back into his lane. MV2 collided with MV1 in the area of 281 Lexington St. A witness, John Maclellan (off-duty police officer Watertown) who was in the area of Lexington St and Orris St. stated that he heard a vehicle beeping repeatedly and then heard a collision. Maclellan came outside to find MV2 over the double yellow lines facing oncoming traffic. MV2 had damage to its passenger front and MV1 had damage to its drivers side rear. Maclellan told MV2 operator, Renato Ribeirodasilva, to move his vehicle to a safe location on the right side of the road and get out of the vehicle to exchange paperwork with the other driver involved (MV1, Gorman). Maclellan phoned Newton PD to notify of the accident and as he was on the line, he witnessed both parties getting into a heated arguement on the sidewalk outside of their vehicles. MV2 operator, Renato Ribeirodasilva was taken into custody for the following charges: 90/24J - OUI Liquor, 90/24E - Neglegant Operator of a MV, and 89/4A - Marked Lanes Violation. Claudineia called a sober friend to drive her and her three children home to Waltham in Claudineia's vehicle. Claudineia was also under the influence of alcohol.
