On January 16, 2020 Officer Bergdorf, Sergeant M Wade and I, Officer Guarino responded to Union St @ Langley Rd for a report of a motor vehicle crash into a bicyclist. Upon arrival, both the operator of MV1 and the bicyclist were inside of 45 Union St, "Baramor" to get out of the cold. I spoke with the bicyclist who was complaining of left wrist and left hip/ tailbone pain. The bicyclist was driving Southbound on Langley Rd on the sidewalk on his black bicycle with no lights. He said that as he was traveling on the sidewalk on Langley Rd, crossing the intersection of Union St (just outside of the crosswalk), he was struck on his right front of the bicycle causing him to fall on his left side. The bicyclist was not wearing a helmet and did not have any lights on his bicycle. He was wearing a blue jacket and dark pants on a black bike. The operator of MV1 spoke with Sergeant M. Wade and Officer Bergdorf. MV1 said that he was traveling East on Union St and stopped at the stop sign and did not see any pedestrians or traffic coming. He proceeded across Langley Rd and struck the bicyclist with the front driver's side of his vehicle. Officer Bergdorf took photos at the scene, which were submitted to IT to be attached to this report. The bicyclist was transported to Newton-Wellesley for medical treatment. His bicycle was transported to his house and secured by Officer Larson.
