On Monday, May 17, 2021 I responded to the parking lot entrance of the Avalon at Chestnut Hill (160 Boylston Street, Newton) for a report of a motor vehicle/pedestrian crash. The weather at the time of the crash was clear and sunny. The road surface was dry. Boylston Street is a public way in the City of Newton. I spoke with the operator of MV1, Mr. Joshua Champion (SA1310472). Mr. Champion stated he was operating his 2013 Lincoln MKS (MA: VT41980) while attempting to exit the Avalon parking lot at the Boylston Street (E) off ramp. Mr. Champion stated he was monitoring the traffic to merge and as he started to make his right turn his vehicle crashed into the left side of a pedestrian in the roadway. Mr. Champion stated he did not see the pedestrian as he was making his turn. I observed no damage to the area where the pedestrian made contact with the car. Photos were taken and submitted to the IT Bureau. The injured pedestrian, Mrs. Joan Contompasis, stated she was walking on Boylston Street (W) with her husband. Mrs. Contompasis stated she entered the roadway from off the sidewalk to cross the Avalon parking lot exit and continue on Boylston Street. Mrs. Contompasis stated she believed MV1 had stopped to allow her and her husband to cross. Mrs. Contompasis stated the vehicle then accelerated and it's front passenger side bumper area crashed into her left side. Mrs. Contompasis fell to the roadway. Mrs. Contompasis was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital for injuries to her right foot and knee. I spoke with a witness to the crash, Mr. Michl Contompasis. Mr.Contompasis stated he was walking with his wife Joan on Boylston Street (W). Mr. Contompasis stated he was walking just ahead of his wife as they crossed the Avalon at Chestnut Hill exit at Rt. 9. Mr. Contompasis stated he observed a black sedan to his left as he crossed. Mr. Contompasis stated he believed the operator was not paying attention as he exited the parking lot and the vehicle accelerated into his wife's left side.
