Narrative:
On 12/3/2020 at 1400hrs I investigated a past motor vehicle crash involving a pedestrian. The crash occurred on 12/03/2020 at approximately 1240hrs. The crash was located in the area of 483 Centre St. Centre St is a public way in the city of Newton. Vehicle 1 was traveling southbound on Centre St near the area of 483 Centre St. Pedestrian 1 was located on the southbound side of Centre St near 483 Centre St. Pedestrian entered the southbound lane of Centre St and was struck by Vehicle 1. As a result of the impact Pedestrian 1 sustained a minor injury to his left leg. Vehicle 1 had no known damage. No parties were transported. No tow was required. It should be noted that the crash was reported by the Operator of Vehicle 1 Daniel Zandman at approximately 1400hrs. Zandman states that he was operating his Vehicle southbound on Centre St just after the intersection at Church St. Zandman states that Pedestrian 1 unexpectedly ran in front of his vehicle. Zandman stated that he did not have enough reaction time to come to a complete stop and his front bumper made contact with Pedestrian 1. Zandman stated that after impact he immediately got out of his vehicle and checked on Pedestrian 1. Zandman described pedestrian on as a 10 year old white male identified as Dexter Jagoditish. Zandman stated that while on scene Dexter called his mother Jess Jagoditish who immediately responded to the scene. Zandman stated that he exchanged information with Jess Jagoditish who then took Dexter home. Zandman states that a witness Mia Martin was also on scene. At approximately 1425hrs I called and spoke to Dexter and his mother Jess Jagoditish. Dexter states that he was walking on the sidewalk near 483 Centre St. Dexter states that he wanted to cross Centre St and thought there were no cars coming. Dexter stated that he entered the southbound lane of Centre St and a car came out of no where and hit him. I then spoke to Jess Jagoditish who is Dexter's mother. Jess stated that she received a call from Dexter around 1240hrs stating he was just hit by a car. Jess stated that when she arrived on scene Dexter was with Zandman and a witness Mia Martin. Jess stated that both Zandman and Martin explained them what had happened. Jess stated that Dexter appeared to be ok so she decided to take him home. Jess states that at this time Dexter has a bruise on his left calf but otherwise appears to be ok. At 1551hrs I spoke with the witness Mia Martin. Martin states that just prior to the crash she was walking her dog behind Dexter. Martin states that "out of nowhere" Dexter sprinted into the southbound lane of Centre St. Mia states that she then observed Vehicle 1 attempt to slow down and swerve to the lest to avoid Dexter. Mia states that the passenger side front bumper then made contact with Dexter. Mia states at impact Vehicle 1 was traveling at a very slow speed. Mia states that Dexter was then knocked on to the ground but then immediately jumped up and started to run away. Mia states that both she and Zandman were able to get Dexter to comeback so that they could check to see if he was ok. Mia states that Dexter was then able to contact his mom who responded on scene. Due to this crash being reported after the fact, Fire, EMS or Police where not initially notified and did not respond to the scene. Pictures were also not taken of the crash scene. At this time this report is for documentation purposes. After speaking with all the parties involved it appears that the crash was caused by Pedestrian 1 entering the roadway in a manner which gave Vehicle 1 little or no time to react.
