On 06/21/22 at 08:05 hours, I responded to 12 Marshfield Road for a City of Newton Dept. of Public Works vehicle involved in a crash with another vehicle. Marshfield Road is a public way maintained and owned by the City of Newton. At the time of the crash, the weather was sunny and clear and the road conditions were dry. Also, there was road construction going on as a company was grinding the roadways in the area for the City of Newton. Two detail officers were on scene and Ofc. Conary called in the accident to Newton Police Dispatch. On arrival, I spoke to the operator of M/V# 1 identified as Suzanne Ennis (MA D/L # S80758886) who was driving a 2015 Honda CRV color red bearing MA reg.# 769YR1. Ms. Ennis stated that due to the road construction and it being blocked at Walter Street and Jackson Street everyone was being funneled down (EB ) on Marshfield Rd by the detail officers. Ennis further stated that there was construction vehicle apparatus parked along Marshfield Road in the westbound direction which made the road narrow. She then attempted to pass a parked City of Newton Toyota Rav4 (M/V # 2) on the right of her when another pick up truck suddenly started traveling westbound. She says that she tried correcting her steering but made contact with the driver's side front quarter panel area of M/V # 2. I observed a minor black scuff mark to the front passenger side quarter panel area. M/V # 2 is a 2019 Toyota Rav4 color white bearing MA Official reg. # M5181A. It is owned by Enterprise FM Trust and being leased by the City of Newton Public Works. The Rav4 was parked legally on the right side near 12 Marshfield Road with a City of Newton employee sitting in the front driver's seat. The employee was Kimberly Ritcey who works for the engineering department for the Newton Dept. of Public Works. Ritcey reported no injuries. I observed minor scrape marks to the driver's side front quarter panel area. Photos taken of the scene and submitted to the I.T. Bureau.

On 6/30/22 I responded to Newtonville Ave at Harvard St for a hit & run with property damage. A passerby observed MA commercial reg T54798 hit a traffic light and leave the scene. Upon arrival, I located the traffic light dislodged from it's pole and on the sidewalk. The plate given is registered to Piece by Piece Movers in Woburn. I spoke to manager Jacob Hart ( 978-855-3976) who informed me that the truck is sub contracted to a company called Speedy King Laborers, and that Hart is unaware of who the driver may be. Hart stated that the truck does have a GPS on it which was showing the vehicle stationary on Turner Terrace at the time of our conversation. I responded to Turner Ter and located the truck in question. The driver, Jean Rodriguez DOB 11/8/99, told me that he was aware that he hit the light but had notified his boss already. He stated the crash occurred as he was turning right onto Harvard St from Newtonville Ave on the way to a residential moving job. Rodriguez was informed that merely notifying his boss when a traffic light is struck down is not appropriate and that he could be charged with hit & run property damage. Rodriguez was apologetic and stated that he understood. Pictures were taken of the traffic light and Daigle was notified. The remaining lights at Harvard/Newtonville were on flash upon my clearing. I did not observe any damage to the moving truck however Jacob Hart was advised to inspect the property himself to be sure. He was provided this report number for reference. This incident appears to be a misunderstanding at this time.
