Katerina Iliades stated that on 10/23/2019 at 11:56 hours she was standing in front of the rear driver's side door of her vehicle MA reg 7BM656 2019 Land Rover while it was parked facing north in front of 316 Walnut St. Walnut St is a public way in the city of Newton. Iliades stated that she was placing her daughter Melina Bichelen in her car seat and when she observed MA reg 8EP212 a white Subaru Outback driving north bound on Walnut St near the marked crosswalk at 312 Walnut St. Iliades stated that she observed the Subaru was being operated by an elderly white male. Iliades stated that the she observed the Subaru's front drivers side strike several orange plastic three foot poles that are affixed to the roadway around the crosswalk. Iliades stated that after the Subaru struck the poles at the crosswalk it veered towards her. Iliades stated that she leaned back into the back seat of her vehicle and pulled the door towards herself as the Subaru's passenger side mirror made conact with her vehicle. Iliades stated that the Subaru continued north bound on Walnut St without stopping or slowing. Iliades complained of lower leg pain and refused medical aid or transport to a hospital at the crash scene. I observed no damage or markings on Iliades vehicle. MA reg 8EP212 is registered to Harilaos Papadogiannis ( DOB 01/02/1941 ) of 134 Apt 4 North St , Newton. I went to 134 North St and found MA reg 8EP212 a 2014 Subaru parked in the lot of 134 North St. I observed that the Subaru's passenger side mirror was lose from it's mounting and was turned down and was facing the wrong way. I further observed that the out side casing of the Subaru's mirror had scuff marks consistent with it forcefully making contact with an other object. I spoke with Papadogiannis who stated that he was driving his Subaru north bound on Walnut St at 11:56 hours on 10/23/2019. Papadogiannis stated that he could only recall striking the plastic poles near the crosswalk and nothing else regarding the crash. I as spoke with Papadogiannis he was confused and I had to repeat myself and my questions to him several times. I instructed Papadogiannis what steps he needs to take regarding filing out an operator crash report and contacting his insurance provider , but I believe that he did not fully comprehend what I was conveying to him. Based upon my observations at the crash seen and my conversations with Iliades and Papadogiannis , I believe that Papadogiannis was at fault for the crash. Based upon my observations of Papadogiannis I filed an Immediate Threat Request form and faxed it to the MA RMV Driver Control Unit. Photos of both vehicles were taken and downloaded by the NPD's IT Bureau.

The operator of MV1 states that he was at a complete stop at a red light at the intersection of Nahanton Street and Wells Ave when he was rear ended by MV2. The operator of MV2 did not speak English well and was unable to explain exactly what happened. Upon further investigation the operator of MV2 did not have a valid Massachusetts drivers license and only presented me with a Brazilian drivers license despite being in the State for over 1 year. Therefore I issued the Operator of MV2, Carlos Roberto Da Silva Ferreira, Massachusetts Uniform Citation T2079296, for 90-10 Operating a Motor Vehicle without a valid drivers license. Both parties were evaluated by Medics and signed patient refusals. MV1 sustained minor damage to the rear bumper and was driven from the scene while MV2 sustained moderate damage to the front drivers side bumper and was towed from the scene by Todys.
