On Wednesday, September 1, 2021, while assigned to marked unit N525, I responded to the area of 1488 Washington Street, Newton for a report of a motor vehicle crash involving a school bus. The weather at the time of the crash was cloudy was light rain. The road surface was wet. Washington Street is a public way maintained by the City of Newton. The operator of MV1, Fanes Nerestant (S47503048) stated he was operating a City of Boston owned 2012 Chevrolet School Bus (MA SBN: SB37810) west on Washington Street towards the Learning Prep. Mr. Nerestant stated he slowed his vehicle down and put on his right direction to take a right turn into the parking lot at 1488 Washington Street to pick up students at the Learning Prep School. Mr. Nerestant stated he then felt impact from the back of the bus and heard a "boom". Mr. Nerestant was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital for neck and back pain. I observed minor damage to the rear driver side bumper/fender area. There were no other occupants on the bus at the time of the crash.
