On 1/5/19 at 1210hrs I was dispatched to the Pelham St Municipal Lot (public way inviting access maintained by the City of Newton) behind CVS for a report of an MVA involving several vehicles. On arrival, I observed Mv#1 MA Reg 5TWS10 with heavy front end damage wedged in between two other vehicles parked in marked spaces. #1 operator, in the driver's seat, was being evaluated by Medics. #1 was identified as Mary Jane Hymanwegscheider (10/14/38). I first made contact with a witness identified as Sharon Corliss. Ms Corliss stated she was sitting in her parked vehicle and observed Mv#1 backing out of the end spot next to CVS. She explained once #1 had came to a stop from backing, #1 then pulled forward, drove over a curb island and continued driving straight into the two parked vehicles. Ms Corliss stated it appeared #1 was travelling about 5mph preceeding the crash. After the medics intial evaluation of Ms Hymanwegscheider, I was able to ask her what happened? She stated she backed out of her space, hit the curb going forward and then put her foot on the gas instead of the brake before the collision. She was deliberate when speaking and appeared confused. She reported to medics she had no medical history and was not using any medications including allergy medication as well. She reported she did not hit her head after the collision. She was then transported to NWH for further evaluation after medics discovered her blood/sugar readings were very low. I advised Ms Hymanwegscheider her vehicle had heavy damage and was being towed by Tody's and to expect paperwork at the conclusion of the crash investigation. It appeared #1 struck Mv#2 first on its driver's side rear before striking Mv#3 parked next to it on the passenger side rear. #1 wedged itself between #2 and #3, #3 was then pushed to the left into the passenger side of Mv#4. #2 and #3 sustained heavy rear end damage. #4 sustained light damage. #1 towed by Tody's with heavy front end damage. #2 arranged for her own tow through her insurance company. A note was left on #3, and #4 was able to be driven from the scene. Ms Hymanwegscheider is showing no MV infraction/no accident history. Based on the totality of all information received as a result of this investigation, I will be issuing a citation (#T0340410) to Ms Hymanwegscheider for Ch90/Sec24, Negligent Operation.

On 1/19/19 I responded to 25 Normandy Rd for a report of a past hit and run. I spoke with the Operator of MV#1 who stated the accident had taken place in front of Tom's Pizza, 423 Lexington St, at approximately 1830 hrs. Operator of MV#1 stated she parked her vehicle in a parking spot directly in front of the restaurant and went inside. When she returned approximately 5 minutes later she realized her vehicle had been rear ended. Two witnesses provided her with information about the accident and the plate number. (See witness narratives.) MV#1 suffered moderate damage to the rear and was driven from the scene. Waltham PD responded to the address listed for MV#2 and were not able to locate the vehicle. At approximately 2000 hrs, I was contacted at the police station by the owner of MV#2's wife. After further investigation (see incident report #19002425) it was determined that the operator of MV#2 at the time of the accident was the vehicle owner's brother. I spoke with Operator of MV#2 on the phone and he stated that the road was icy and slippery due to snow and he crashed into the back of MV#1. He stated he was nervous and thought he had only hit the sidewalk curb. Operator of MV#2 was issued citation T1440626 by mail for 90/24C Leaving the Scene of Property Damage, 90/10A Unlicensed Operation and 90/24 Use of MV Without Authority.

There was slight damage to veh #1 but moderate damage to veh #2. It was later determined operator of veh #2 was operating under the influence of alcohol when she backed into parked veh #1. Veh #2 was towed from the scene by Tody's towing after Officer Gabriel completed a towed vehicle form. Veh #2 registration was queried and came back revoked for insurance. The operator of veh #2 was arrested (NPD Report #19015765) and given in hand Mass. Citation's # T1444225 and T1444226 for Ch 90/Sec 24/J-O.U.I.

At approximately 1645HRs on Tuesday, 01/07/2020, I was dispatched to 325 Boylston St. (Sunoco Gas) for a report of a hit and run motor vehicle crash. Upon arrival, I spoke with the operator of MV1 (MA Veteran:J706), who stated that as he sat stationary in his vehicle just before entering pump: 3, MV2 backed up from pump: 1 and struck MV1 in the front bumper, despite him activating his horn and keeping it active as she continued to back up. The operator of MV1 then approached the driver's side door of MV2 to exchange information, however the operator of MV2 drove off; the operator of MV1 provided MA Pass: 8SV842 being attached to MV2 and I noted damage to the front bumper of MV1. I spoke to witness 1 via phone and he concurred with the operator of MV1's account of the incident. It should be noted that witness 1 could see the crash well from his vantage point by pump: 2. The operator of MV2 could not be reached by this officer for comment. Natick PD responded to the operator of MV2's residence and observed damage to MV2's rear bumper. They requested the operator of MV2 contact me via phone and she stated she would; Natick PD did not get a contact number for her. Natick PD informed us to expect her call and a few minutes later, dispatcher Kelly stated that she received a call from the operator of MV2, who immediately hung up once the call was answered. It should be noted that since she called on the business line and immediately hung up, we were not able to retrieve her phone number as the system does not store it. Due to the operator of MV2 failing to provide her information after the crash/fleeing the scene and her not being cooperative with my investigation, I have issued her by mail MA Criminal Citation:T2013367 for violating one count of MGL. Ch. 90 S. 24 (Leaving The Scene Of An Accident After Property Damage). Note: the clerk at Sunoco stated that the cameras at the pumps do not store footage. **Update** At approximately 1540HRs on Thursday, 01/07/2020, I spoke with the operator of MV2 via telephone. She contacted the Newton Police Traffic Bureau and provided her phone number, who in turn forwarded it to me. She stated to me that on the night in question, she was at the pumps and the pump she initially wished to use (pump: 1) had a sign on it to pay inside. She then elected not to use said pump and backed her car up and heard the operator of MV1 activate his horn. She stopped and was unaware that she struck MV1. When she saw the operator of MV 1 exit his vehicle, she assumed he was going to pump gas. She then stated she left the gas station because she was frustrated and did not intend to leave the scene of an accident. I advised the operator of MV2 that since I was unable to speak with her that night, I had already issued her MA Criminal Citation:T2013367 for violating one count of MGL. Ch. 90 S. 24 (Leaving The Scene Of An Accident After Property Damage) via mail and advised her how to proceed.

On Thursday March 26, 2020 at approximately 0218 hours I responded to 84 Derby st for a report of a car accident. Upon arrival a Blue Honda Sedan MA reg 1HLk36 was on the street outside of 84/86 Derby St with major damage to the front and rear of the vehicle. The vehicle was unoccupied and came back to 86 Derby St. I spoke to the resident, Dawna Noguira, who stated her 14 year old daughter Sabrina Dirgham was the operator of the vehicle. I Then spoke to Sabrina who stated she took her mothers car without her permission. Sabrina stated she reversed out of the driveway and drove over the sidewalk across the street and hit the wall at 79 Derby St. She then stated she attempted to turn but accelerated too fast which caused her to hit her neighbors side of the duplex and vehicle MA Reg 312FG7 at 84 Derby St. The impact of the collision with the house caused the vehicle to roll back into the middle of Derby street. Sabrina then fled from the vehicle, abandoning it in the street, and going into her house because she was scared. Sabrina declined medical attention and her mother signed a refusal. Vehicle 1 was towed from the scene by todys. Sabrina was given in hand MA Citation T2012818 for 90/10 Unlicensed Operation, 89/4A Marked Lanes Violation, 90/24C Leaving the Scene of Property Damage and MA Citation T2012819 for 90/24 Use Without Authority and 90/24E Negligent Operation.

At approximately 1735HRs on Saturday, August 29, 2020, I was dispatched to 14 Elliot St. (Sunoco Gas Station) for a report of a two car MVA with one party refusing to exchange RMV information. Upon arrival, I spoke with the operator of MV1 (MA Pass: 6GT965), who stated that he was stationary in his vehicle at pump 3, when the operator of MV2 reversed into his vehicle after refueling at pump 5, which is directly in front of pump 3. The operator of MV2 got out of her vehicle and began to yell at him and refused to give him her RMV information, claiming he hit her. The operator of MV1 stated that he called the police and the operator of MV2 subsequently left the scene prior to my arrival. Officer Keefe (N495) attempted to raise the registered owner of MV2 (MA Pass: 2KWK11) at her residence with negative results and dispatch was unable to find a cell phone for her. I was able to speak with witness 1, who concurred with the operator of MV1's version of events. After speaking with witness 1, the operator of MV1 and viewing his video he recorded on his phone showing a party believed to be the owner/operator of MV2 entering her vehicle (Caucasian Female with the same light/strawberry blonde hair, as seen in her RMV photo), I have issued her MA Criminal Citation T2015042 for violating one count of MGL Ch. 90 S. 24. (Leaving The Scene Of Property Damage) and mailed it to her address. Note: the cameras at the gas station are not operational at this time and a copy of the aforementioned video has been forwarded to IT to be attached to this report.

On October 4th, 2021 at approximately 11:58 hours while working N491 I responded to a report of a past Hit & Run involving a parked MV in front #350 Watertown St, Colonial drug. On my arrival I located one of the involved vehicles a 2009 blue Toyota Venza MA plate RUBRIC with the owner, Suzanne McGowan inside it. She reported parking her car in front of #350 Watertown St while out doing errands. She came back a short time later and found her vehicle had been struck. She found a note attached to her vehicle that said," I'm sorry I hit your car, with a telephone # 617-448-1039," call me". I spoke with the R/P, witness JP Botindari, address Colonial drug, #350 Watertown St. He reported hearing a crash from inside his business which brought him outside to investigate. He then observed a blond haired white female, 40's ruddy complexion wearing ripped blue jeans put a note on the parked vehicle she just hit. He asked her if she was ok? Women said nothing before getting into a grey colored SUV Ma reg.888-oyd.with heavy passenger side damage. The vehicle fled E/B on Watertown St. The registration was later queried but didn't come back to any vehicle. The phone # left on the note was traced back to a women out of Arlington Ma. but after dispatch had spoke with her realized this was not the women involved. The only vehicle attached to her name was a Nissan Pathfinder. Her drivers license picture didn't match the witnessed description either. An attempt will be made to identify the other vehicle through similar license plates. Traffic Bureau update (Officer Gaudet): A query of MV2 (MA: 8880YD) showed it comes back to a 2016 gray Jeep Cherokee registered to Ms. Johanna McGlame out of Newton. I spoke with Ms. McGlame via telephone. Ms. McGlame stated he was involved in the crash and did leave a note on the vehicle she hit with her phone number. Ms. McGlame stated she was traveling on Watertown Street and the passenger side of her vehicle made contact with a parked car.

Ms. McGlame will not be cited for leaving the scene of property damage.

On November 21st, 2021 at approximately 07:56 hours while working N491 I along with Officer Mike Boudreau responded with NFD and Medic One to a report of a MV crash with injuries in the area of Centre St @ Franklin St. On my arrival the Medics were evaluating two adult males who standing outside one of the involved vehicle from this crash. There appeared to be several involved vehicles to this crash however two of them had been parked prior to the crash. The vehicle which the two unidentified males were standing by was MA reg. 9HY939, a 1988 Black Ford F150 PU, listed registered owner was a Peter J. Jara-Castro, #28 Ridge Ave, Lynn Ma. Mr Castro was one of the two males standing by that truck. The above vehicle appeared to have been travelling N/B on Centre St when it skidded off the road, jumping the curb striking a 1 foot slate retaining wall to the property to #573 Centre St. It continued onto that property driving over shrubs, small trees, then onto the driveway(same address) which is actually on Newtonville Ave, hitting the homeowners 2007 Nissan Versa, Ma reg. 6BH269, forcing it into more shrubbery. The Truck continued across Newtonville Ave where it struck another parked vehicle, a Grey 2019 Volkswagon, Ma reg. 1NFC27 on the rear passenger side pushing it forward. The truck finally came to a stop after driving into a wooden fence to the property of #559 Centre St.(Fence is on Newtonville Ave.) I spoke with the owner of the truck after he was evaluated by the Medics, who spoke limited English. The owner of the truck Peter Jara-Castro finally said he was driving the truck prior to the crash. His statement was he was travelling N/B down Centre St when another vehicle came out from Newtonville Ave causing him to slam on his brakes. Mr Castro doesn't remember much after that, possibly from hitting his head. At this time I couldn't determine who the actual driver was. Both Mr Castro and the passenger, sustained injuries but both declined to go to the hospital. Both were later picked up by an UBER driver.
