On 11/26/19 at 14:11 hours, I responded to Newton South High School located at 140 Brandeis Road for a two car motor vehicle accident involving a school transport van for the City of Newton and another vehicle. No injuries were reported. The road conditions at the time were dry and the weather was a mix of sun and clouds. Traffic conditions were heavy due to the release of school at the time. Operator of MV# 1 states he was operating straight ahead eastbound on Brandeis Road awaiting the backed up traffic in front of him that was entering the right roundabout for the main entrance to the high school. While doing so, he states that MV # 2 came up and passed him on the left to go around the traffic. MV # 2 then clipped his vehicle on the driver's side front quarter panel while passing him. I observed no visible damage to the quarter panel area and scuff marks to the left front rim which possibly were from the accident. Operator of MV # 2 states she was also operating straight ahead eastbound on Brandeis Road awaiting the backed up traffic in front. She states that once there was an opening in the roadway ahead of her, she signaled her left directional and started to pass traffic on the left. While doing so, she says that MV # 1 suddenly pulled out to the left without signaling and struck her vehicle on the front passenger side. I observed minor scuff marks to the front passenger quarter panel area and slight damage to the metal grate footstep on the passenger side. The operator was also transporting two students for the City of Newton through JSC Transportation Services at the time. Both students attend Newton South High School. Digital photos taken of the scene and damage.
