The owner of MV1 was inside the Shaking Crab located at 203 Adams street when he came outside and observed damage to the drivers side of his parked vehicle. A good Samaritan witnessed the accident and stated to him, a SUV struck the reporting parties vehicle and took off. The witness took video of the accident. I watched the video and observed the SUV hit MV1 with the passenger side of the vehicle and then brake and continued southbound on Adams st. The witness got a registration of MA reg 2BZH27 and told the owner of MV1 that a female was operating the vehicle. Dispatch attempted to contact the owner of the vehicle yielding negative results and unable to leave a voicemail. A text message was sent to the owner to contact NPD from the dispatch cell phone. MV1 had damage to the driver side doors and mirror. A voicemail was left for the witness. I forwarded a video of the accident and photo of the vehicle to IT to be added to the report. As of now the owner of MV2 is listed as "uninvolved owner" under persons "2" until the accident is further investigated and until contact is made with the owner to determine who was operating the vehicle. Charges pending. Traffic Bureau update (Officer Gaudet): On March 11, 2022, I reviewed the dash camera footage submitted to the IT Bureau by Officer Stake. The footage shows a dark colored SUV vear off to the right side of the roadway on Adams Street. The vehicle's front passenger side crashes into the driver side of a parked vehicle in front of 203 Adams Street (S). As the witness drives by where the crash occured, the footage from their camera pans over to the parked vehicle and shows damage to it's driver side. The footage then resumes facing Southbound on Adams Street and the fleeing vehicle continues Southbound on Adams Street towards Washginton Street and does not stop. The vehicle is idenitified by a still photo submitted by the witness as a 2016 Kia Sportage bearing Massachusetts registration 2BZH27. This vehicle is registed to Ms. Jennifer Mc Quiggan (S30952065). I contacted Ms. Mc Quiggan and asked about her vehicles involvement in the crash on March 10, 2022. Ms. Mc Quiggan stated she was operating the vehicle at the time of the crash on Adams Street and thought she hit a snow bank. I advised Ms. Mc Quiggan that I had just finsihed reviewing the footage of the crash that was submitted by a witness and it shows her vehicle vearing off of the road and crashing into a parked vehicle. After reviewing the footage of the crash and obtaining an admission by Ms. Mc Quiggan that she was operating MV2 at the time of the crash, I issued Ms. Mc Quiggan Massachusetts Uniform Citation 328660AB for Chapter 90, Section 24 (Leaving the Scene of Property Damage) and Chapter 89, Section 4A (Marked Lanes Violation). Adams Street is a public way maintained by the City of Newton.
