On Friday, September 13, 2019 at approximately 16:19 hours, while assigned to N496, I responded to 162 Warren St. for a report that two boys were hit by a car earlier in the day. Once on scene I spoke with Wes Moore and Luca Toro (both attend Oak Hill Middle School), as well as their mothers Jamie Moore and Alyssa Toro. Wes and Luca explained that at about 15:15 hours, they were crossing at the crosswalk adjacent to the Bank of America in Newton Centre (808 Beacon Street), heading towards the Newton Centre municipal parking lot. The boys stated that as they crossed a large van, which was traveling westbound on Beacon Street in the left turn lane, stopped to let them cross. Wes and Luca stated that they did not realize that there was another westbound travel lane, and after passing the truck they were both hit by an unknown sedan. Wes and Luca stated that the driver, who they described as an approximately 50 year old white female, got out of her car and started yelling at them to be careful. Wes and Luca stated that the unknown female operator checked to see if they were hurt and then left the area heading westbound on Beacon Street. Wes and Luca stated that they both fell to the ground as a result of being hit by the unknown motor vehicle, but only sustained minor injuries. I offered to have an ambulance respond to evaluate Wes and Luca, however, Mrs. Moore and Mrs. Toro declined. I advised the boys and their mothers that I would be documenting this incident with a crash report, and that I would head to the area to see if Bank of America had and cameras facing the crosswalk, so that we could hopefully identify the operator of the unknown motor vehicle. I then responded to the Bank of America, however, the bank was closed for the day. Supplement by Officer Ferguson: On Monday 09/16/2019 at approximately 0900 hours I responded to the Bank of America and spoke with the employees who stated they do not have any cameras that record the street or sidewalk areas. The camera they have only records the front door and lobby area.
