At approximately 1239HRs on Thursday, 04/07/2022, I was dispatched to 111 Needham St. (McDonald's) for a report of a hit & run crash. Upon arrival, I spoke with the operator of MV1 (MA Pass: 49315), who stated that he was in the restaurant when an unidentified concerned citizen came in and showed them a picture of MV2, after it had struck MV1 and informed them that the operator of said vehicle left the scene without leaving their information. I observed that MV1 sustained damage to its driver's side rear quarter panel, just to the rear of the wheel well. The owner of MV2 (MA Passenger: 313FY9) could not be reached to ascertain their version of events. Newton Dispatched was able to find a phone number for the registered owner, left a message and at the time of writing this report, The Newton Police have not been contacted by them. Additionally, I went to the registered owner's address and no one would answer the door, nor the Ring Video Doorbell, which remotely connects those activating it, to the owner's phone.
