Narrative:
On Tuesday, November 23, 2021, while assigned to Traffic unit N525, I was asked to investigate a past hit and run crash involving a City of Newton School Traffic Supervisor. Mr. Mark Dumoulin reported to the Newton Police Traffic Bureau that sometime during his assigned school crossing post on the morning of November 23, 2021, a passing vehicle made contact with his left leg while he was crossing children on Ward Street. I responded to Newton Wellesley Hospital to speak with Mr. Dumoulin. Mr. Dumoulin stated this morning, he was at his assigned school crossing post of Ward Street and Waverly Avenue in his official capacity as a City of Newton School Traffic Supervisor. Mr. Dumoulin stated he was wearing his department issued yellow reflective jacket and his department issued yellow hi-vis gloves. Mr. Dumoulin stated he also had his department issued stop sign with him while performing his duties. Mr. Dumoulin stated at some point during his post (0745-0830 hours), he was attempting to cross two children on Ward Street (S to N). Mr. Dumoulin stated he entered the crosswalk of Ward Street on the NE corner of Ward Street at Waverly Avenue. Mr. Dumoulin stated the pedestrian signal was activated at this time and the intersection traffic signals were all red. Mr. Dumoulin stated while entering the crosswalk, he observed a black Honda sedan traveling on Stuart Road (E) towards the intersection of Ward Street and Waverly Avenue. Mr. Dumoulin stated the license plate had 3 characters on it and believes the first letter may have been "E". Mr. Dumoulin stated the operator was a heavy set female with blonde hair in her 30's or 40's. Mr. Dumoulin stated the operator appeared to speed up towards his location to beat the light turning red. Mr. Dumoulin stated the vehicle then continued through the intersection onto Hammond Street (E), but it did not keep right with the normal flow of traffic and entered the Westbound lane of Hammond Street. Mr. Dumoulin stated he attempted to get the operators attention to stop her from continuing in the wrong lane of Hammond Street. Mr. Dumoulin stated at this time, the vehicle made contact with his left knee area and continued traveling down Hammond Street with out stopping. Mr. Dumoulin stated the children he was crossing were not near the vehicle and they did not see the contact. I asked Mr. Dumoulin if there were any other witnesses in the area. Mr. Dumoulin stated he does not believe there were. Mr. Dumoulin reported this collision to the Newton Police Traffic Bureau at approximately 1030 hours. I asked Mr. Dumoulin why he did not contact us when the incident first took place. Mr. Dumoulin stated he thought his injury was superficial and that he knew we were busy. At this time, Mr. Dumoulin is reporting a left knee injury as a result of the crash. Mr. Dumoulin stated vehicles travel on the wrong side of the medium on Hammond Street all the time and estimates it happens 3 times every school post. Mr. Dumoulin also stated the keep right sign on Hammond Street near the crash site needs to be addressed because some of the letters are peeling. I canvassed the area where the crash occurred for the fleeing vehicle with a negative result. I also covered the afternoon school post (1450-1535 hours) to ask passing students if they witnessed the crash with a negative result. I observed the "Keep Right" sign Mr. Dumoulin made mention of at this location. The sign appears to be in working condition and visible from Stuart Road. I took photos of the intersection where the crash happened and submitted them to the IT Bureau. On November 24, 2021, I covered Mr. Duboulin's school crossing post again for the morning post. While canvassing the area I observed a dark colored Mercedez sedan with a 3 character registration parked on Exmoor Street that resembled the vehicle Mr. Duboulin described as the fleeing vehicle. I attempted to contact the registered owner of this vehicle, Ms. Judtich Zukor. Ms. Zukor stated she could not speak at this moment and asked me to call her back. I will follow up with Ms. Zukor.

On November 23rd, 2021 at approximately 14:08 hours while working N491 I responded to #25 Pearl St for a report of a MV crash with airbag deployment. On my arrival I located the involved vehicle a 2021 black Cadillac, Ma reg. K9195 with extensive damage on the property of a four unit condominium complex that abuts #275 Centre St(Plaza). The operator who was standing outside her vehicle was identified as Margaret Cloherty. She appeared uninjured from this crash.
