On 11/03/21 at 08:25 hours, N491 and I (Traffic Unit # 523) responded to 612 Washington Street for a two car motor vehicle accident involving a city motor vehicle. The weather at the time was clear and sunny and the road conditions were dry. Washington Street is a public way maintained and owned by the City of Newton. On arrival, I spoke to the operator identified as Brian Napolitano (MA D/L #S73156918) and his co-worker Kevin Brooks who was a passenger in the vehicle. Both parties work for the City of Newton Department of Public Works. Mr. Napolitano was operating a 2009 Ford F350 bearing MA MVN registration# M78129 at the time. He stated that he was attempting to back out of the driveway of 612 Washington Street. Once it was clear to proceed he backed out on to Washington Street and that is when a Subaru Impreza made contact with his driver's side front quarter panel area. He says the Subaru was making a left turn from the left westbound lane of Washington Street in to the same driveway he was backing out of at the time. There was no visible damage to the vehicle. I then spoke to the operator of the Subaru (MA reg.# 3GYT41) identified as Jennifer Shippie (MA D/L# S23299202). Ms. Shippie states she was in the left westbound lane of Washington Street and was turning left in to the driveway of 612 Washington Street. She further stated that a vehicle in the eastbound lane stopped for her and waved her on to proceed. She then made the turn and never saw the Ford F350 backing out and made contact with it on her passenger front bumper area. The entire vehicle had damage to the front bumper consisting of scratches and dents but she stated none of it was new from this accident. No injuries reported and digital photos taken of the vehicles by me.
