On 06/22/21 at approximately 10:46 I responded to a 2 vehicle crash at the intersection of Winchester St. and Dedham St.. Upon arrival I spoke with the operator of veh #1 Giulia Puppin who has her learners Permit and was driving under the CS Driving School LLC and Instructor John David Rabidou , who was in the front seat next to her. Puppin explained that she was driving South down Winchester St. when she put her left directional on to take a left onto Dedham St.. Puppin said the traffic light turned yellow so she stopped the vehicle before the intersection and thats when veh #2 struck her from behind. Rabidou's account of the accident was the same as Puppin's. I spoke with the operator/owner of veh #2, Diana Gabriela Valencia who stated she was driving South down Winchester St. when veh #1 stopped suddenly in front of her at the intersection of Dedham St.. She attempted to swerve right to avoid the vehicle but she didn't have time and struck the passenger side rear bumper. As I was in my cruiser preparing the exchange information, Valencia came to my window and informed me that her vehicle was unregistered. A R.M.V. query confirmed that Massachusetts license plate attached to the front and rear of the vehicle she was operating, a black 2009 Hyundai Accent , was active on a Grey 2013 Volkswagon Jetta owned by her boyfriend Frederic James Malesevic. Valencia produced a bill of sale for the Hyundai Accent from Vigeant's Auto Sales, INC of Lowell with a purchase date of 10/17/20. Valencia stated she never drove the vehicle before today and was in the registration process through the mail to the R.M.V.. Valencia was handed Mass.
