On Thursday, February 3, 2022, while assigned to Traffic unit N525, I responded to the area of 281 Beacon Street, Newton for a report of an MVA/Pedestrian crash. The weather at the time of the crash was light rain. The road surface was dry. Beacon Street is a public way maintained by the City of Newton. I spoke with the pedestrian involved in the crash, Ms. Sharon Sabin. Ms. Sabin stated she entered the roadway to cross near 281 Beacon Street (S to N). Ms. Sabin stated she believes she was in the marked crosswalk at this time. Ms. Sabin stated she observed a vehicle to her left stop to let her cross. Ms Sabin stated a the second vehicle (MV1) did not stop and made contact with the tips of her boots. Ms. Sabin was evaluated by Fallon Medics and signed a patient refusal. Ms. Sabin report no injuries. I observed no damage to the boots Ms. Sabin was wearing at the time of the crash. I spoke with the operator of MV1, Ms. Hallie Geller. Ms. Geller stated she was operating her 2014 Toyota Prius (MA: 2AS375) in the area of 281 Beacon Street when a police vehicle with it's emergency lights and siren approached her from behind. Ms. Geller stated as she attempted to pull over to the right side of the road so the cruiser could pass, Ms. Sabin stepped into the crosswalk. Based on my observations, it is unclear if MV1 made contact with Ms. Sabin's toes. Due to the external circumstances of Ms. Geller attempting to pull over so an emergency vehicle could pass, I will not be issuing her a citation for the incident.
