On 11/03/21 at 13:08 hours, Retired Detail Officer Edrehi reported that there was a motor vehicle accident on Parker Street at Boylston Street involving a city transport school bus. Parker Street is a public way maintained and owned by the City of Newton. The weather at the time was sunny with some clouds and the road conditions were dry. On arrival, both vehicles were moved away from the crash location and off to the side of the Boylston Street (EB) on ramp in order to relieve traffic congestion. I spoke to the operator of the school bus ( Vehicle # 2) identified as Jean Isme (MA D/L# S05201694). Mr. Isme works for the Eastern Bus Company which is contracted to transport children for the City of Newton public schools. At the time, he was operating a yellow 2022 Thomas School Bus bearing MA reg.# 1A6DJ. He states that he was traveling on the off ramp of Boylston Street (WB) at Parker Street and turned left on to Parker St. He was then trying to take a left turn on to the Boylston Street (EB) on ramp but could not due to traffic congestion. At this point, he was rear ended by Vehicle # 1. I observed no dents or paint damage to the rear of the school bus. I then spoke to the operator of Vehicle # 1 identified as Madeline Fordyce (MA D/L # SA3410026) who was operating a 2011 Chrysler 200 gray bearing MA reg. # 95S120 at the time. Ms. Fordyce stated she was behind the school bus coming off the westbound off ramp and was also making a left turn on to Parker Street. As she made the turn she noticed that the bus had stopped and attempted to brake, but she could not stop in time. The Chrysler sustained damage to the entire front bumper and the hood was pushed up. The vehicle was towed by Tody's towing. No injuries reported and digital photos were taken of the scene.
