The operator of MV#1 stated the operator of MV#2 was a white male in his 40's with short/ bald type of haircut. MV#1 sustained minor damage to its front passenger side door. The damage to MV#2 should be to its driver's side front bumper.There were no reported injuries to the operator of MV#1 or its passenger. A query of NH registration 4932651 showed an active registration to a red colored Jeep Wrangler registered to a Kenneth Brienza. An internet search for a contact information of this party showed a phone number (813) 295-2222. This phone number is not in service.

I spoke to Salem NH Police Dept (Phone # 603 893-1911) and they provided me with 2 phone numbers (603 894-6025 and 603 893-5751). Both numbers were not in service. Salem NH Police Dept will send their Police Unit to the listed home address in attempts to make contact. I will follow up on my next tour of duty on 05/09. As of 05/09 Salem NH Police stated MV#2 was not at the NH address and no contact was made with the registered owner. They will reattempt to make contact today and I will follow up on my next tour of duty on 05/12. Traffic Bureau update (Officer Gaudet): A "Hit and Run" inquiry was mailed to the registered owner of MV2, Mr. Kenneth Brienza. On Monday, May 16, 2022, I spoke with Mr. Kenneth Brienza about his vehicle's involvement in this crash. Mr. Brienza state he was operating his Jeep Wrangler on Centre Street (N) and came to a stop at the light at Beacon Street. Mr. Brienza stated he was in the right travel lane on Centre Street and the other vehicle involved was second in line in the left lane. Mr. Brienza stated the light turned green and proceeded to travel North on Centre Street. Mr. Brienza stated the first vehicle to his left took a left turn on Beacon Street. Mr. Brienza stated the second vehicle, MV1, proceeded straight and tried to merge ahead of him in the intersection. Mr. Brienza stated he had to cut in front of MV1 to avoid crashing into vehicles parked to his right. Mr. Brienza stated at no time did he belive the vehicles made contact with each other. Mr. Brienza stated he never rolled down his window and he did not yell at the other car. Mr. Brienza stated he did observe the other vehicle take a picture of him and then pull over on Centre Street. Mr. Brienza stated he did not want to stop on Centre Street because it is a busy street, so he continued to Wyman Road but MV1 did not follow him. Mr. Brienza provided three photos of his vehicle to show there was no damage present. These photos were forwarded to the IT Bureau. At this time, there will be no charges filed for Leaving the Scene of Property Damage.
