On 06/22/22 at 13:32 hours, I (Traffic Unit 523) was dispatched to 38 Eldredge Street for a two car motor vehicle crash involving a City of Newton Dept. of Public Works truck. Sgt. Mclean called in the crash to Dispatch after seeing it occur. Eldredge Street is a public way owned and maintained by the City of Newton. The weather conditions were clear and sunny and the road conditions were dry at the time of the crash. On arrival, I spoke to the operator of M/V # 1 identified as Elizabeth Langston (MA D/L # S89458234) who was operating a 2013 Nissan Rogue color black bearing MA reg. # 3BMK31. Ms. Langston states that she was parked across the street from 38 Eldredge Street. When she went to pull out in to the travel lane going southbound, she never saw another vehicle going by her and struck M/V # 2 on it's passenger side. She further stated that she believed it was a blind spot in her side view mirror. I observed damage to her driver's side door handle and driver's side bumper. As a result of the crash, the entire bumper was dislodged from the vehicle. Langston called for a private tow (Pro-Tech Waltham) to have her vehicle removed. Next, I spoke to the operator of M/V # 2 Richard Leone (MA D/L # S61672498) who works for the City of Newton Department of Public Works. At the time, he was operating a 2019 Ford 350 color white bearing MA Official reg.# M3106A. He stated that he was traveling straight ahead (SB) on Eldredge Street when M/V # 1 pulled out and struck him on the passenger side. I observed scrapes to the passenger side door that extend down to the wheel well of the cab to the truck. I also observed a dent on the truck between the passenger side door and bed of the truck. No injuries reported by either operator. Photos taken of the scene and submitted to the I.T. Bureau.
