On Thursday May 6th, 2021 at approximately 10:27am I responded to the intersection of Beacon Street and Hammond Pond Parkway for a minor motor vehicle accident involving a pedestrian. At the time of the accident the weather was sunny and the road surface was dry. Beacon Street is a public way owned and maintained by the City of Newton and Hammond Pond Parkway is owned by the State Police. Upon arrival I spoke with the pedestrian who was being treated by medics on scene. She was identified as Erinn McGahan. Erinn stated she was jogging on Beacon Street heading westbound and was approaching the intersection of Hammond Pond Parkway. Erinn stated she thought she made eye contact with the vehicle that was stopped at the stop sign as she continued to jog across the crosswalk. As she started to enter the crosswalk, the vehicle started to take the right turn onto Beacon Street and struck her right knee, causing her to fall on top of the hood of the vehicle and roll off onto the street. Erinn stated she had minor injuries and was transported by Fallon to Newton Wellesley Hospital. I spoke with the operator of the vehicle, identified as Delia Duart. Delia stated she was stopped at the stop sign on Hammond Pond Parkway and did not see the pedestrian entering the crosswalk. Delia stated she started to turn right onto Beacon Street and struck the pedestrian causing her to roll off the hood of her car and land on the street. Delia reported no injuries and signed a patient refusal. Delia reported no damage to her vehicle and was able to leave the scene. Mass Uniform Citation #992938AA was issued and mailed to Delia Duart for Chapter 89 Section 11 Crosswalk Violation.
