Mr. Drukman stated the crash occurred on Monday, August, 2, 2021, at the Jewish Community Center located at 333 Winchester Street, Newton sometime around 1600 hours. Mr. Drukman stated his vehicle was parked unoccupied in the parking lot and was struck by another vehicle. Mr. Drukman stated his 2017 Subaru Forester (MA: WA1/UIY) had damage to the driver side rear fender. Mr. Drukman stated a passersby forwarded pictures of the other vehicle involved in the crash. The other vehicle is a 2016 BMW 5 series (MA: 1691DR) registered to Mr. Richard Parker (S75189008). Mr. Drukman forwarded me the pictures he received and there is damage to the front passenger side bumper/fender area of this vehicle. These photos were submitted to the IT Bureau to be added to this report. I spoke with Mr. Parker via telephone. Mr. Parker stated he was operating his vehicle in the parking lot of the JCC at the time and date of the crash. Mr. Parker acknowledged his vehicle made contact with another vehicle while he was attempting to park. Mr Parker stated after making contact with the other vehicle, he exited that parking spot because it was too tight and parked in another parking spot. Mr. Parker stated there is no new damage to his vehicle and the damage I described in the pictures Mr. Drukman forwarded to me was old. I advised Mr. Parker that I was citing him for leaving the scene of property damage. Mr. Parker admitted to crashing into MV1 as he was attempting to park in the JCC parking lot. Mr. Parker knowingly made contact with another vehicle and made no effort to exchange information with the owner of the vehicle he crashed into. The pictures submitted by Mr. Drukman of his vehicle show obvious fresh damage as a result of a crash. After completing my investigation, Mr. Parker will be mailed Massachusetts Uniform Citation 089044AB for Chapter 90, Section 24 (Leaving the Scene of Property Damage). The public does have a right of access to the parking lot for the Jewish Community Center located at 333 Winchester Street, Newton.
