On Thursday 2/24/22 at approximately 1130 hours while assigned to marked unit n498 I was dispatched to the area of 1985 Beacon Street for a 2 car motor vehicle crash with injuries. Upon arrival I spoke to the operator, CECCHINI Michael, of a UPS delivery truck. CECCHINI states he was travelling westbound on Beacon Street and activated his right turn signal, began to slowly pull to the right, activate his 4 way emergency hazard lights and stop in the shoulder/breakdown lane in front of 1985 Beacon Street to make a delivery at that address. Upon stopping he was struck in the rear by motor vehicle #2. After speaking with CECCHINI I spoke to the operator, CHABOT Shane, of motor vehicle #2. CHABOT was in the back of the ambulance being prepared for transport to Newton Wellesley Hospital. CHABOT states he was travelling Westbound on Beacon Street and was looking down at his GPS on his cell phone in the cup holder of his motor vehicle and adjusting his radio when he struck the rear of the UPS truck on the side of the road. A Witness, CERRA Rob, spoke to Sgt. Poutas and stated he witnessed the pickup truck travelling westbound on Beacon Street and observed the vehicle to veer to the right and strike the back of the parked UPS truck. Based on the statements given to me by the operator of motor vehicle #2 , CHABOT Shane, he is being issued Ma Uniform Citation T2012914 for C90 S13B using an electrical device while operating a motor vehicle and C89 S4A Marked Lanes Violation. The citation was mailed to CHABOT's address as I was unable to issue it in hand prior to him being transported to the hospital.
