Vehicle 1 was parked in the lot at Extra Space storage at 137 Rumford Ave, at 1300 hours. Between 1430 and 1730, vehicle 2 struck the right side of vehicle 1. Extra Space storage stated that they have the incident on surveillance footage, but refused to share it, without a police report. The owner of vehicle 1 has already filled out their own accident report, and submitted it to their insurance company. Traffic Bureau update (Officer Gaudet): On Friday, October 22, 2021, I met with Mr. Brian Pendleton from Extra Space Storage. Mr. Pendleton was able to provide me with surveillance footage from the crash. A white passenger van facing (W) in the parking lot is observed backing out of a parking space. The van's rear passenger side bumper area is observed crashing into the rear driver side of MV1. MV1 is parked unoccupied on the opposite side of the parking lot (facing S). MV1 is observed briefly moving side to side as a result of the collision. MV2 is then observed leaving the parking lot area through the main entrance on Rumford Avenue. After reviewing the footage, I am unable to decipher the characters on the license plate of the fleeing vehicle due to the quality of the image. The van is a newer model passenger van with black lettering on the rear driver side area. The operator of the vehicls appears to be a white male with a dark colored baseball cap and a dark colored jacket. The media clip provided by Extra Space Storage was submitted to the IT Bureau to be attached to this report.
