On 08/09/2021 at 13:56 hours I responded to the intersection of California St at Adams St for a crash involving a motor vehicle and a bike. California St and Adams St are both public ways in the City of Newton. Upon my arrival I was informed the bicyclist , Joshua Cohen was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital for treatment . I spoke with Marco Diaz who stated that he was driving his 2004 Honda Pilot ( MA reg 1YEM63 ) east bound on California St near Adams St. Diaz stated that as his vehicle passed Adams St he heard a loud bump coming from the rear passenger side of his vehicle. Diaz stated that he looked into his rearview mirror and realized that something had crashed into his vehicle. Diaz stated that he stopped his vehicle had saw a male on a bike had crash into his vehicle. Diaz stated that he was not injured in the crash and his vehicle did not require a tow. I observed small scrape marks on the rear passenger side quarter panel of Diaz's vehicle. Cohen's bike was a Metakoo 26'' electric bike, that has a top speed of 20 MPH. Cohen's bike did not appear to have any damage on it and was secured at Cohen's residence. I spoke with Cohen at the ER at Newton Wellesley Hospital were he was waiting treatment for a laceration to his forehead and a possible concussion. Cohen stated that he "was going to fast and took a too wide of a turn" from the north bound lane of Adams St onto the east bound lane of California St. Cohen stated "I hit into him " ( Diaz ) . Based upon statements made to me by Diaz and Cohen and my observations of the crash area I belive that Cohen is at fault for this crash. I took photos of Diaz's vehicle and Cohen's bike, the disk was downloaded by the NPD IT Bureau.
