On 02/07/22 I was dispatched to Washington St. @ Center St. for a two car motor vehicle accident. Upon arrival the operator of MV1 stated that he was driving on the right lane of Washington St and turned right to merge onto Center St (S/B). The operator of MV1 stated that the operator of MV2 was in the middle lane when he tried to merge onto the right lane which caused MV1 to hit MV2 on the right side of the bumbler. As they continued driving straight MV2 stopped which caused MV1 to tap the rear bumper of MV2 Causing minor damages to the bumper. The operator of MV2 stated that he was the one driving on right lane when the operator of MV1 hit him in the rear bumper. The operator of MV2 stated that he had the right away which is why MV1 crashed into his bumper. I asked the operator of the of MV2 how did he get damage on the right side of his vehicle to which he replied he was not sure, and that it was there already. He then continued to say that he must of hit the snow bank which caused the damage but the snow bank was a lot lower than where the damage was. Based on my observation the damage is consistent with what the operator of MV1 stated. Medics arrived on scene and both operators denied medical attention.
