On Wednesday, June 22, 2022, while assigned to unit N495, I responded to the intersection of Woodward Street and Chestnut Street, Newton for a report of a tractor trailer that crashed into a traffic signal. Woodward Street and Chestnut Street are both public ways maintained by the City of Newton. I spoke with the operator of MV1, Mr. Ricardo Rivera Santiago (S74175073). Mr. Rivera Santiago stated he was operating a 2021 WSTR Conventional Tractor (MA: 78355) on Woodward Street (E) towards Chestnut Street. Mr. Rivera Santiago stated as he was negotiating his vehicle through a right turn on to Chestnut Street, the rear passenger side of his trailer crashed into a fixed traffic signal on the corner of Woodward and Chestnut Street. Mr. Rivera Santiago reported no injuries. I observed damage the rear top passenger side portion of the trailer. The traffic signal had significant damage and the top portion was found resting on the sidewalk area of Woodward Street. Officer Acuna (working a detail in the area) notified Newton Dispatch to contact Daigle Electrical to have the signal repaired. Photos were taken of the damage and submitted to the It Bureau.
