Vehicle 1 was traveling eastbound on Union St and was waiting to merge onto Beacon St when he was struck from behind by another vehicle. the other vehicle quickly took off around him heading westbound on Beacon then turned quickly onto Sumner St. Operator of vehicle 1 stated he thinks he hit his head but was uninjured otherwise. Vehicle 1 had very minor rear damage. I canvassed the area for the other vehicle with negative results.

On 10/22/2021, at approx 0752Hrs, while assigned to 497, I responded to 2071 Washington St for a report of a past hit and run with property damage. Upon arrival I observed the tire tracks leading from the right westbound lane leading over the curb , knocking over a chain link fence and post . There were tire ruts into the side yard of 2071 Washington St, an there was a End of Reduced Salt sign and post wedged into the ground of the homeowners side yard. I spoke with the property owner , Ali Shamser who stated at approx midnight he heard a loud bang, and looked out his window , saw nothing in the road but did not think to look down into his side yard. Ali's home is across the street from Newton Wellesley Hospital and next to Route 128 as well as on a very busy road so he is used to hearing crashes and sirens regularly. Ali stated at approx 0745Hrs when he left his home to take his children to school he noticed his damaged fence and yard. Ali has no cameras, across the street is Newton Wellesley Hospital and his neighbor adjacent on Walsingham St has his property surrounded by a 6 foot vinyl fence.

I responded to 234 Langley Road for a two car M/V crash with entrapment. Upon arrival with other officers, Fire, and medics I saw the following. MV1 was flipped over on the road way and the operator was still in the vehicle, but the passenger was outside the vehicle. MV1 Hit a parked MV2 unoccupied. MV1 was traveling north on Langley Rd when MV1 swerved to its right and made contact with the left rear bumper of the MV 2. The impact of the two MV's caused MV1 to flip over and land on its roof. Based on my observation the scene indicated : day light, clear and there were no road defects. I took numerous pictures which were submitted to IT bureau so they can be attached to this report.
