MV#1 was parked and unoccupied in front of #32 Brae Burn Rd, when according to a witness, MV#2 side swiped MV#1 and left the area. MV#1 sustained damage to rear passengers side. Witness, who was in the home at #22 Brae Burn Rd, describes MV#2 as JSC Transportation van that picked up a student at #22 Brae Burn Rd. Request Traffic Bureau follow up with JSC Transportation. Traffic Bureau update (Officer Gaudet): On November 23, 2021, I contacted JSC Transportation to follow up with them and get information for the operator of the van that was involved in the crash. JSC Transportation identified the operator of the vehicle as Ms. Brittany Flannery(S78277983) and provided me with her contact information. I also asked for information on the student that was on the vehicle at the time of the crash, Davine Archibald. JSC Transportation stated they did not realize this was the student on the van at the time of the crash. They immediately contact Davine's mother, Beula Effion to make her aware of the crash. I also contacted Ms. Effion to make her aware of the crash. Ms. Effion stated she received a call from JSC Transportation and that she is ok with everything. Ms. Effion stated she does not believe Davine was injured. Ms. Effion was advised. I spoke with Ms. Flannery about the crash. Ms. Flannery stated she was operating the JSC Transportation van (2019 Ford Transit, MA SPN: SP10940) involved in the crash. Ms. Flannery stated she was on her way to a pick up and was coming down Brae Burn Road. Ms. Flannery stated there were a couple of work vans parked on either side of the driveway where her pick up was. Ms. Flannery stated she pulled off the street and tried to park in between the two work vehicles on either side of the driveway. Ms. Flannery stated as she attempted to do this, the back passenger side of her van clipped the back passenger side of the van parked to her right. Ms. Flannery stated she asked the 1 passenger on the van, Davine Archibald, if she was ok. Ms. Flannery stated Davine stated she was. Ms. Flannery stated she exited the vehicle and checked the damage. Ms. Flannery reported the damage to the van as a scrape and scratch on the rear passenger side. Ms. Flannery stated she continued with her pick up at 22 Brae Burn Road and told the resident there she was going to contact the company that owns the van later. Ms. Flannery then left the area. Ms. Flannery stated she dropped the students off at the Newton Early Education Center on Jackson Road. I asked Ms. Flannery why she did not contact the Newton Police Department to report the crash and help her exchange information with the parked vehicle she hit. Ms. Flannery stated she did not know she had to because the vehicle was unoccupied. Ms. Flannery was advised that she needs to report being involved in a collision, especially when transporting children for JSC Transportation. Ms. Flannery will be cited with Massachusetts Uniform Citation 203510AB for Newton City Ordinance Chapter 19, Section 75 (Fail To Use Care). Brae Burn Road is a public way maintained by the City of Newton.
