On Tuesday, June 14, 2022, while assigned to West Newton Square, I met a party in the lobby of Newton PD HQ reporting a past mva/pedestrian crash. Ms. Teresa Brown stated approximately an hour before speaking with me (12:30 p.m.), she was running on Webster Street (E) when she approached the Elm Street intersection. Ms. Brown stated she observed a black pick up truck to her right across the street and made a motion to him as she approached the intersection that she was going to continue running straight across Webster Street. Ms. Brown stated as she entered the marked crosswalk while running across the intersection, the pick up truck continued through the intersection and struck her. Ms. Brown stated she fell to the roadway and suffered a minor injury to her right arm. Ms. Brown stated the operator stopped to check on her, and she took a picture of his license. Ms. Brown stated she then continued running from the crash scene and ran to her daughter's house in Waltham. Ms. Brown stated the reason she did not contact the Newton Polcie Department when the crash occured was because she was in shock. Ms. Brown stated she was told after she got to her daughter's house it would be a good idea to report it now. Ms. Brown provided me with license information for the driver. Ms. Brown stated the only real injury she suffered was a cut on her right elbow. Ms. Brown was advised if she is involved in a future crash with injury to contact the police department of the town the crash occurs in so we can assist in rendering aide, and investigate the crash on scene. I contacted the operator of the vehicle involved, Mr. Mingzong Zou. Mr. Zou stated he was operating his 2015 Ford F-150 (MA CON: S24067) on Elm Street (N). Mr. Zou stated he came to a stop at the Webster Street stop sign. Mr. Zou stated he proceeded through the intersection after he stopped and saw Ms. Brown in the roadway in front of him. Mr. Zou stated the front of his vehicle crashed into Ms. Brown. Mr. Zou stated Ms. Brown told him she was "ok" after the crash and he offered her his information. Mr. Zou stated Ms. Brown took a picture of his license and ran away from the area. Due to the crash being reported some time after it occurred and not being present on scene to witness the scene, I am unable to cite the operator of MV1. Elm Street and Webster Street are both public ways maintained by the City of Newton.
