On 5/20/19 at about 1510hrs I was dispatched to 136 Evelyn Rd for an MVA. En route to the location with Ofc Gourdeau, it was determined by first arriving Ofc Gourdeau that a vehicle had crashed through a fence at the end of Troy Lane and came to rest in the backyard of 126 Evelyn Rd. On arrival, I located the vehicle operator, identified as Mr Stuart Phillips who was operating MA Reg 8VVP40, an '03 Jaguar S Type model. Mr Phillips was walking around the backyard after the collision and appeared coherent as to what had transpired. He sustained a laceration to the top of his head and was bleeding heavily. We sat him down in a lawn chair prior to medics arrival to evaluate. When asked what happened, he stated he "hit the gas instead of the brakes". I asked him where did the accident begin? He stated he was turning around at the end of Troy Lane (a dead end cul de sac) and crashed through the fence there. Mr Phillips was alert and speaking clearly. I asked him if he was on any medication? He stated he was taking Plavix only, a blood thinner. I asked about his medical history and he stated he was released from Spalding Rehab today for treatment from a stroke and was receiving occupational therapy. Medics arrived to evaluate and he was transported to NWH for treatment. An investigation of the crash path of the vehicle revealed the following based on tire tracks and damage left behind: The vehicle crashed through the fence at the end of the cul de sac belonging to 41A Helene Rd; Vehicle drove over that back lawn, clipped the back deck attached to the rear of the house; damaging the base of the deck and lattice below; Vehicle travelled over the patio, then crashed through shrubbery down an embankment leading to the backyard of 132 Evelyn Rd; Vehicle drove through backyard of 132 Evelyn, then continued along the side of the house where it drove over damaging three retaining walls and clipped a large tree; After driving over the third retaining wall, vehicle continued through the backyard of 126 Evelyn, causing significant lawn damage; Vehicle continued until it hit the back of the house at 126 Evelyn; there, it drove over the rear patio before it struck a ground level basement window and window well; It came to a rest there where the vehicle caught on fire under the hood. Witnesses helped extinguish the fire with a garden house (see incident report #19020129) until NFD arrived to knock it down. Significant front lawn damage to 126 Evelyn occurred as well as NFD was arriving on scene to what was first reported as a structure fire. Several photos of the area were taken by myself. The memory chip was TOT the I.T. bureau to be attached to this report. Tody's towing towed the vehicle out of the backyard by accessing the rear driveway of 132 Evelyn Rd. Mr Phillips cited for Negligent Operation and an Immediate Threat for License Suspension/Revocation faxed to the RMV. Troy Lane is a public way in the City of Newton.
