Narrative:
At approximately 0933HRs on Wednesday, March 02, 2022, I was dispatched to 151 Sargent St. for a report of a two car MVA. Upon viewing the vehicles, I observed MV1 (MA Pass: 1HLE75) parked in front of 163 Sargent St. with damage to its passenger's side (fender, wheel/tire, front and rear doors). And I observed MV2 (MA Pass: 6ELY50) in the driveway of 151 Sargent St. with damage to its rear (tow hitch and bumper). Upon speaking with the operators, both of whom reported no injuries, the operator of MV1 stated they were traveling Eastbound on Sargent St., when MV2 attempted to exit the aforementioned driveway and they two vehicles made contact. The operator of MV2 stated that as they exited said driveway, there was solar glare which came from not only the sun in their eyes, but from sun reflected off of an uninvolved vehicle which passed on the opposite side of the road. Being that they were unable to see MV1 approaching, MV2 continued to travel out of the driveway, backing up Southbound, when the two vehicles made contact. Both operators exchanged information prior to my arrival. MV1 and its operator remained in a safe area on scene to await a tow from AAA and MV2 left under its own power. I cleared without further incident.
