MV#1 was parked facing south on Elm Street (a public way in the City of Newton) when it collided with MV#2. - OpMv#2 stated she discovered a note on her windshield from Wit#1 informing her that her vehicle had been struck and OpMv#1 left the area. OpMv#2 observed the damage to her vehicle and reported the incident to the police. - Wit#1 stated MV#1 pulling out of a street side parking spot on Elm Street, as the vehicle pulled out of the spot it struck the left side bumper of Mv#2. Wit#1 described OpMv#1 as white male in his twenties. He further stated he observed OpMv#1 attempt to find the owner of the vehicle, however, he did not find them and so he left. He added that OpMv#1 did not leave any contact information OpMV#2 to find and contact him regarding the collision. He stated he was the one who left the note for OpMv#2 informing her that her vehicle was struck. - I observed the damage to the left bumper of MV#2. I made several attempts to make contact with OpMv#1 via telephone on several occasion; contacted Framingham police to contact OpMv#1, to no avail. During my investigation of the incident I discovered that OpMv#1 has a suspended driver's license. I conducted an inspection of the area and did not observe cameras that covered the involved parking stalls. -There were no injuries reported at this time and neither vehicle was towed from the scene. Traffic Bureau Update (Officer Gaudet): On July 27, 2020, I attempted to contact the registered owner of MV1, Toghrul Mustafayev (SA0610793), with a negative result. A "Hit and Run" inquiry was mailed to Mustafayev. On Tuesday, August 4, 2020, I spoke with Mustafayev via telephone. Mustafayev stated he is the owner of MV1 and recalls being involved in an incident on July 24, 2020 in front of 115 Elm Street, Newton. Elm Street is a public way maintained by the City of Newton. Mustafayev stated he was operating his vehicle (2007 Toyota Prius, MA: 93A250), while leaving a parking spot in front of 115 Elm Street. Mustafayev stated as he left the parking spot his vehicle touched another vehicle. Mustafayev stated he exited his vehicle and observed no damage to the other vehicle involved. Mustafayev stated he looked around for the other owner but could not find them. A query of Mustafayev's license status shows it is suspended as of November 18, 2019. I asked Mustafayev if he was aware of his license status. Mustafayev stated he knew it was suspended but he was only changing parking spots when the crash occurred. Mustafayev was advised and will be mailed Massachusetts Uniform Citation T0115912 for Chapter 90, Section 23 (Operating MV After Suspension) and Chapter 90, Section 24(2) (Leaving The Scene of Property Damage). A report and affidavit of an operating after suspension was completed and e-mailed to the Registry of Motor Vehicles at DCUOperatingAfterSuspension@massmail.state.ma.us.
