Operator of vehicle one Peter Bradley stated that on 09/18/2020 at 08:39 hours he was driving his 2014 Land rover ( MA reg 1EV437 ) south bound on Cherry St near Adams Ave. Cherry St. is a public way in the City of Newton. Bradley stated that as his vehicle was approaching Adams Ave he saw a vehicle stopped facing east bound that was about to turn into the south lane of Cherry St. Bradley stated he also saw a bicyclist riding south bound on Cherry St. Bradley stated that as the bicyclist passed by the vehicle that was stopped at Adams Ave. it suddenly swerved to the left and into the path of travel of his vehicle. Bradley stated that the passenger side mirror of his vehicle struck the bicyclist causing him to fall off his bike. The bicyclist Tameon Dames, a 10th grader at NNHS ( DOB 02/16/2005 ) stated that he was riding his bike south bound on Cherry St. near Adams Ave. when he saw a vehicle stopped on Adams Ave about to turn south bound on Cherry St. Dames stated that he steered his bike to the left to create space between himself and the stopped vehicle. Dames stated that when his bike moved to the left he came in contact with the Landrover's passenger side mirror causing him to fall from his bike. Dames stated that he did not lose consciousness after the crash and was not wearing a helmet . Dames had cuts to his left hand and was transported to Children's Hospital in Boston via EMS from treatment. The operator of the vehicle that was stopped on Adams Ave was Pin Cao. Cao stated that he saw Dames "swerve" his bike into Bradley's vehicle as passed his. At the time of the crash Dames was wearing ear pods. Bradley's vehicle had minor scuff marks on it's passenger side mirror case. I took photos of Bradley's vehicle and of Dames bike and had the photo disk downloaded by the NPD's IT Bureau. While taking photos of Dames bike I observed that both of it's tires had very little tread left leaving them almost completely bladed. I further observed the bike was missing left pedal. Officers searched the crash area for the bike's pedal with negative results, it appeared that the pedal was missing prior to the crash. I further observed that only the front breaks of Dames bike where in working order. Dames bike was transported to the station and I filled out a property form ( see report 20042471 )
