On Wednesday, June 23, 2021 while assigned to Traffic unit N525, I responded to St. James Street at the Washington Street rotary for a motor vehicle crash involving a Fallon Ambulance and a City of Newton owned vehicle. The weather at the time of the crash was clear and sunny. The road surface was dry. St. James Street and Washington Street are both public ways maintained by the City of Newton. I spoke with the operator of MV1, Mr. Michael Cannistraro. Mr. Cannistraro works for the City of Newton Parks and Recreation Division. Mr. Cannistraro stated he parked his City of Newton owned 2019 Ford F-150 (MA MVN: M3116A) to the right side of St. James Street (W) at the Washington Street rotary. Mr. Cannistraro stated he exited his vehicle and was trimming branches hanging over the sidewalk of this area when he observed a Fallon Ambulance Company owned van drive Westbound on St. James Street. This vehicle's front passenger side door mirror made contact with the front driver side door mirror of his unoccupied vehicle and left the scene with out stopping and exchanging information. Newton Dispatch contacted Fallon to attempt to located the driver with a negative result. The passenger side door mirror for the Fallon vehicle was observed resting on the roadway next to MV1. Pictures were taken of the damage to MV1 and submitted to the IT Bureau. I spoke with Chris O'Malley from Fallon who stated he will look into what vehicles were in the area at the time of the crash and get back to me. On June 24, 2021, I followed up with Fallon and spoke with the on duty supervisor for Fallon, Mr. Richard Souza. Mr. Souza stated he looked into the incident on his end and no one has reported being involved in a crash or reported any damage to their vehicle. If any information becomes available Fallon will update me.
