On Thursday 4/21/22 at approximately 805 hours while assigned to marked unit n498 I was dispatched to the intersection of Beacon and Chestnut Streets for a report of a motor vehicle crash into a utility pole. Upon arrival I observed two motor vehicles that had crashed in front of 619 Chestnut street and a utility pole also in front of 619 Chestnut Street with significant damage (pole# 85/75). While on scene I interviewed the operator, NUNEZ Ralphie, of Motor Vehicle 1, (MD Reg 5EP2140), who states he just dropped his Girlfriend off at a house on Beacon Street and turned right from Beacon Street onto Chestnut Street and began travelling southbound on Chestnut Street. NUNEZ states as he was driving he felt the steering wheel lock up and the vehicle was heading straight for the Utility Pole. He states he struck the Utility Pole and the force from the crash pushed his vehicle into the Northbound lane of traffic. After speaking with NUNEZ I spoke with the operator, MILLER Michael, of Motor vehicle #2, (Ma reg 1BTT36) who states he was travelling Northbound on Chestnut street when he observed Motor Vehicle#1 drive into the utility pole causing the vehicle to enter his lane of travel. MILLER states he attempted to veer to the right of the road to attempt to avoid the motor vehicle, but was unsuccessful and struck Motor Vehicle#1. Also on scene was, PISANO Christian, who witnessed the crash. See his attached witness statement given to me verbally on scene. 3 pictures were taken of the damage to the utility pole and forwarded to IT to be attached this crash report
