The operator of MV#1 stated he was travelling westbound on Homer St when MV#2 crossed over Homer St from Pleasant St and made contact with MV#1. MV#2 was observed travelling northbound onto Ashton Ave and leaving the area. MV#2 was described as a grey colored station wagon type vehicle. The operator of MV#1 stated the damages to MV#2 should be to its rear passenger side area. MV#1 sustained damages to its front bumper area. There were no reported injuries to the operator of MV#1. I spoke to the witness who was walking his dog on the sidewalk. The witness stated he heard the accident and observed MV#2 leave the intersection travelling northbound on Ashton Ave with flat tires. The witness provided me with MV#2's registration of 98WS56. The witness stated he was 100% sure he had the correct registration for MV#2. A query of MV#2 showed it had a local address in Newton MA. I arrived at this address and observed MV#2 bearing MA REG 98WS56 parked in the driveway. This vehicle fit the initial description of a grey colored station wagon type of vehicle. This vehicle had both of its passenger side tires flat and the hood of the engine was warm to the touch, indicating that the vehicle was recently on. I spoke to the owner of MV#2 and he stated he was driving in the area and just arrived home. The owner of MV#2 stated he did cross over on Homer St but did not realize he made contact with another vehicle. The owner of MV#2 stated he believed he struck a curb or a metal plate in the road which caused his front tire to go flat right after he crossed Homer St. The owner of MV#2 stated he was close to his home so he decided to drive home to deal with his flat tire. The owner of MV#2 stated he was unaware that his rear passenger side tire was also flat. MV#2 is an older vehicle with old damages throughout its exterior. The rear passenger side tire appeared to be misaligned and may have axle damage. The front passenger side tire was completely flat and had a huge slash to its sidewall. Based on the statements made to me I did not believe the operator of MV#2 was attempting to evade. All parties involved were provided with this accident report number and to contact their respective insurance providers.
