crash_reports: 1900001207

MV1 stated he got off the Mass Pike Eastbound at exit 17, and once at the top of the ramp, his GPS directed him to take a left onto Washington St. While responding to a separate call, I witnessed MV1 traveling the wrong direction (NE) in the area of 320 Washington St. (one way section of rotary). I activated my blue lights and pulled up to MV1, telling the operator the street was a one way and he needed to turn around. The operator stated he had room to turn around, at which point I blocked Washington St. While turning around, the trailer of MV1 struck a City of Newton concrete light pole and knocked it down. The concrete pole was taped and coned off, and Daigle was notified to respond. Photos were taken and submitted to the IT bureau.
