On June 14, 2020 at approximately 17:13 hours Newton Police responded to Union St at Langley Rd for a report of a motor vehicle crash into bicyclist where the motorist took off. Upon arrival, I spoke with the operator of Bike1, who informed me that he was traveling eastbound on Union St when he rode his bicycle into the back of MV1. MV1 did not get out of the vehicle and drove away from the scene. Bike1 informed me that he was traveling behind MV1 and observed MV1 traveling slow on Union St at approximately 10-15mph. MV1 stopped at 45 Union St which is when he collided into the rear bumper. Witness 1 said that she saw a white male operator of MV1 and a female passenger. Both the operator and passenger looked behind them and then continued to drive away. it is unknown if the operator was aware that there was a collision. It should be noted that the collision caused a loud yell and bang that multiple people were able to hear. Bike1 did not have any visible damage to his bicycle and declined medical attention. A photograph of MV1 was forwarded to IT to be attached to this report along with a photograph of bike 1.
