Operator of MV1 states he just left Wegman's where he works the overnight shift and was traveling home to 223 River Street. Operator of MV1 states he was traveling westbound on Commonwealth Ave and was going to take a right hand turn onto Lowell Ave when he doesn't know what happened and struck the concrete street light pole dislodging it from its base where it laid across MV1 and part of the roadway. It should be noted while speaking with the operator of MV1 there was a slight language barrier and he couldn't elaborate much on the events leading up to the crash. MV1 sustained heavy front end damage and air bag deployment. Medics were requested for an evaluation and found no signs of fatigue, impairment or injuries and cleared with a signed patient refusal. Coviello Electric was notified for the street light pole and the Newton Fire Department capped off the exposed wires from the base and it was taped off with caution tape. Tody's towing responded and removed the vehicle from the roadway. The operator of MV1 insisted on walking home from the scene.
