On Friday, April 23rd 2021, at approximately 6:55am, I, Officer Brooks, responded to Chestnut street at Prince street, for an MVA pedestrian. Upon my arrival I spoke with an adult female who stated she was walking eastbound on Prince street and was attempting to cross Chestnut street. She stated she looked northbound and did not see anyone coming so she attempted to run across the street and was struck by a vehicle coming from her left. The pedestrian stated she was not in the cross walk, and that she was struck in the area of her left hip and thrown to the ground. She was not complaining of any injuries and refused to be evaluated by EMS. I noted the pedestrian was wearing a full body length purple coat and a winter hat. The operator of MV1(MA REG 9JYJ50) stopped to check on the pedestrian and left her phone number before leaving the scene. I was able to speak with the operator who stated she was traveling northbound on Chestnut street, and as she approached Prince street a female party ran out in front of her vehicle causing her to slam on the breaks. The operator stated she did not believe that she made contact with the pedestrian but that she did observe her fall to the ground. She stopped to check on the pedestrian who stated they were ok, and she provided her phone number to her. I explained in the future she would need to contact us immediately or she could be charged with leaving the scene of an accident, and she was unaware of all the information she needed to provide to the other party. The operator and the pedestrian were both provided the report number. Due to MV1 leaving the scene before my arrival photographs could not be taken.
