She states MV2 attempted to turn left in front of her, and she was unable to avoid them. She stated MV2 struck her vehicle on the left front side, sending her off the road and into the traffic signal on the northeast side of the roadway. Operator of MV2 states he was driving southbound on Centre St, attempting to turn left onto Walnut St. He stated he did not see MV1 until the least second, because of the cars in the opposite turn lane. He stated he attempted to stop, but believed MV1 was speeding and he did not have time. Witness 1 was directly behind MV2. He stated it looked like MV2 was attempting to turn left in front of him. He stated MV1 did not appear to be speeding, and that MV2 turned into MV1. He stated he did not think the two cars could see each other until the last second. Witness 2 was in the opposite turn lane.

Operator of MV2 states she didn't have the green arrow light, yet had the steady green traffic light. MV2 sustained damage to the right rear corner panel/tire and needed to be towed. It should be noted when the traffic light turns green facing westbound on Washington Street, it gives drivers in the left turn/straight traffic lane the opportunity to take a left onto Walnut Street or travel straight on Washington Street before traffic can flow on Washington Street eastbound. This is displayed by a green arrow light and steady green light. Due to my investigation, I cited the operator of MV2 in hand Massachusetts Uniform Citation #T1441446 for MGL Ch. 90 Sec. 14 Fail to yield right of way when turning

Mr. Katz also indicated that vehicle two was traveling into the intersection from Walnut Street (North) at an estimated 20 mph. Witness Peter Dill was sitting in his parked car on Watertown Street facing East. Mr. Dill was parked in front of his house at 606 Watertown Street.

Mr. Giangregorio concurred with Mr. Davis-Sonon witness accounts regarding the location of their truck and vehicle one prior to emergency lights and sirens. Mr. Giangregorio did not witness the rear view mirror account since Mr. Giangregorio did not observe vehicle two in the rear view mirror.
