crash_reports: 2100000636

Based on observations, and statements made, the following occurred. M/V#1 was traveling east on Winchester St. and stopped at the stop sign to merge on to Rte 9 East ( Boylston St.). While waiting for a break in traffic, to proceed, it was rear ended by M/V#2. The operator of M/V #2 stated she had come to a stop behind M/V#1, and was also watching traffic, and M/V#1 moved from her line of sight. Believing M/V#1 had merged, M/V#2 proceeded to merge, and rear ended M/V#1. Operator #2 stated that it was actually the passenger of M/V#1 that was operating. After a brief investigation, I was unable to substantiate her claim. Both parties in M/V#1 complained of minor back pain, and were evaluated by medics.
