On 07/15/2020, while assigned to N494, I, Officer Conary, responded to the intersection of Centre Street at Church Street for a motor vehicle accident. Upon arrival, I spoke with Operator of MV1 who stated that he was driving Southbound on Centre Street when the car in front of him stopped suddenly at the green signal. At this time, MV1 hit MV2 rear. Operator of MV1 said that he believes she was distracted with a hand held device. Operator of MV2 explained to me that she at the intersection of Centre Street and Church Street traveling Southbound. She got the green signal and she let the car traveling Northbound take a left turn onto Church Street before she continued through the intersection. At this time, MV2 was hit by MV1 from the rear. She stated she was not using her phone. It should be noted that the signal traveling Northbound on Centre is a green left signal to turn onto Church Street. After the green arrow, cars yield to oncoming traffic to turn. Fire and Medics arrived on scene and all parties involved signed patient refusals. MV1 was towed by AAA. MV1 had minor damage to the front bumper. MV2 was able to be driven from scene with minor damage to the rear bumper. No further incident to report.
