On 01/03/19 at 07:26 hours, I responded to a two car motor vehicle accident at Boylston Street and Ellis Street with one reported minor injury (headache). Operator of MV # 1 states she was exiting the Boylston Street (RT 9EB) off ramp at Ellis Street when she states that she came to a stop for the stop sign. She then inched out and thought it was clear to proceed straight through and struck MV # 2 on both passenger side doors. Operator also stated that she did not think traffic would be allowed to come from the left of her. She was advised that there is a sign below the stop sign that states that the oncoming traffic does not stop. Operator was issued MA Uniform Citation T1441046 for Ch. 89/9 Stop Sign Violation. MV # 1 sustained front end damage to the entire front but was still driveable and the operator reported no injuries. Operator of MV # 2 states she was operating straight through the Boylston Street overpass (SB) on to Ellis Street when she states that MV # 1 never stopped for the stop sign. MV # 1 then proceeded out and struck her vehicle on the passenger side. MV # 2 sustained moderate damage to both passenger side doors and was towed by Tody's towing. The operator complained of a headache but signed a patient refusal with Cataldo Ambulance One.

OPERATOR OF MV 1 WAS TRAVELING NORTHBOUND ON COTTENS STREET AND WHEN SHE APPROACHED THE INTERSECTION OF CLEMENTS ROAD MV 1 WAS STRUCK BY MV 2 ON THE FRONT END DRIVERS SIDE. HEAVY DAMAGE SUSTAINED, NO INJURIES REPORTED AND TODYS TOWED THE MV TO THEIR LOT. MV 2 WAS TRAVELING EASTBOUND ON CLEMENTS ROAD AND NEVER STOPPED FOR THE STOP SIGN AT THE INTERSECTION OF COTTENS STREET. MV 2 CRASHED INTO MV1 CAUSING HEAVY FRONT END DAMAGE TO MV 2. NO INJURIES REPORTED AND MV 2 WAS TOWED BY TODYS TO THEIR LOT. OPERATOR OF MV 2 WAS ISSUED MA UNIFORM CITATION T1441117 FOR CH. 89 S.9 FTC STOP SIGN.

MV1 was traveling SOUTH on Cherry St through the intersection of Webster St. MV2 was traveling WEST on Webster St through the same intersection. MV2 collided with MV1 inside of the Cherry St/Webster St intersection causing heavy front end damage to MV2 and damage to the rear drivers side wheel and fender. MV1 operator, Leah Wilson, stated that she had a green light and proceeded through the intersection when she was hit by MV2. MV2 operator, Caroline Steiner, and her 12yo daughter (passenger/front seat) Lorelai Steiner, stated that they were proceeding through the green light and observed MV1 going at a high rate of speed through the intersection. No injuries reported. Both vehicles towed by Tody's. MV1 operator, Leah Wilson was issued in hand MA Uniform Citation T1440472 for 89/9 - Red Light/Fail. On scene, I observed debris surrounding the four-way intersection and MV1 laid to rest past the intersection and facing the wrong direction in traffic. The damage to both vehicles was severe and MV1 had air bag deployment. The reporting party was an NPD auxiliary officer who had responded prior to my arrival because he heard the crash from the backyard of the police station which is approximately 350-400ft. Based on my training and experience, I believed Leah Wilson to be traveling through the intersection while failing to yield to the traffic control device.

On 2/25/2019 at approx 1130hrs while assigned to 497 I responded to the intersection of Commonwealth Ave and Chestnut St for a two car crash. Upon arrival I met with the operator of Ma reg RDTAIL ,Steve MCCULLOUGH who stated he was traveling NB on Chestnut St through the green light when he was suddenly struck by the operator of Ma Reg 298CBV George DIARBAKERLY who was travelling EB on Commonwealth Ave. I spoke with DIABAKERLY who initially stated he thought he had the green light but perhaps it changed, than stated maybe he was too far back when he saw the green light. MCCULLOUGH gave me the names of two people who had stopped , Matt DOLITKA 617-719-7621 and Dr J LAUFFLER 617-968-6343. I was able to speak with DOLITKA who stated he was travelling NB on Chestnut ST one car back from MCCULLOUGH, they were traveling through the green light which was solid green, had not just changed, when he saw MCCULLOUGH get hit by DIARBAKERLY at a high rate of speed, DIARBAKERLY struck MCCULLOUGH than bounced off and went up onto the island.

On March 10, 2019 at approximately 16:15 hours I responded to Commonwealth Ave and Centre St. for a motor vehicle crash. Operator of MV2 said that he was driving westbound on Commonwealth Ave through the green light and was hit by MV1. The operator of MV1 said that he was traveling northbound on Centre St. and did not see the red light until last minute because a truck was blocking the signals. Both passengers of MV2 complained of minor soreness and refused medical transport. The operator of MV1 was issued a civil motor vehicle citation (T1140496) for MGL90/7 failure to stop at red light.

On Friday 4/12/2019 at approx 2226hrs, while assigned N-494, I responded to the intersection of Washington St and Centre St (public way)for a 2 vehicle MVA. Upon arrival all parties stated they were uninjured. Operator of MV1 stated that he was in the Left Turn Only lane onto Washington St. He immediately stopped when he noticed a car to his left collide with his trailer. Operator of MV2 states that he was also in the Left Turn Only lane onto Washington St. and that MV1 came over from Left Turn/Straight lane on his right. Given that both operators stated that their vehicles had not been moved from where the collision occurred it is evident that MV2 was in the Left Turn Only lane onto I-90 and attempted to change lanes. It should be noted that the crash diagram is accurate to what I observed on scene. Operator of MV2 was cited for marked lanes MGL c89s 4C citation #T1268551 No damage visible to MV1. MV2 had passenger side paint damage.

The operator of MV1(ma reg 773KV5) was traveling WB on River Street through the intersection of Cherry St when her vehicle was struck by a motor vehicle traveling on Cherry St. The operator of MV1 stated she had a green light and MV2 went through a red light striking her driver's side door. The operator of MV2 (MA reg 5CG678) stated she was traveling NB on Cherry St approaching the intersection of River St when she struck MV1. Operator of MV2 admitted she ran the red light and stated she zoned out for a minute. Operator of MV2 stated she was unsure if she wanted to turn onto River or continue straight onto Cherry and she ended up driving through the red light. Operator of MV1 was complaining of possibly head injury so I called for an ambulance. ALS 28 arrived on scene to evaluate and ended up transporting Operator of MV1 to NWH. Operator of MV2 stated she was not injured and did not require medical evaluation. Both vehicles sustained heavy damage and required tow's. Tody's arrived on scene on towed both vehicles. After MV1 was struck the operator ended up crashing into the retaining wall of the West Parrish Burial Ground. There was significant damage to the fence and wall. I had dispatch call for a traffic car to respond to the accident to take pictures since the Burial Ground is City Property. Traffic Officer Gaudet responded and took pictures of the vehicles and damage to the wall. The operator of MV2 was cited for CH 89-9 Fail to stop for a red light. MA citation (T1441437) was mailed to operator of MV2

On 07/12/19 at 11:36 hours, I responded to Elliot and Oak Streets for a two car motor vehicle accident with no reported injuries. That intersection has a three way stop sign for all travel lanes. Operator of MV1 states he was traveling eastbound on Elliot Street and stopped for the stop sign at Elliot and Oak Streets. After, he proceeded straight through the intersection and was struck by MV2 on his passenger side rear wheel area. He states that MV2 never stopped for their stop sign and was coming through the intersection from Oak Street. I observed passenger side rear wheel and bumper damage to this vehicle but it was still driveable. Operator of MV2 states that she could not recall exactly what occurred but that she stopped for the stop sign. She could not provide which way she was traveling only stating that she was attempting to turn around and pull over to right side of the road to park. I observed damage to the driver's side front bumper area but the vehicle was still driveable. Based on the debris in the road and damage to the vehicles, it appears that MV2 never stopped for the stop sign on Oak Street (NB) as the other operator was proceeding through. MV2 then angled the vehicle to the right in order to pull over and park on the other side of the road. While doing so, she struck MV1. The operator was issued MA Uniform Citation # T1444918 for a Stop Sign Violation.

As a result of the crash her car rolled backwards into the opposite curb. Operator of vehicle 2 states he was traveling eastbound on Washington St and was waiting to turn left onto Concord St. The traffic light on Washington turned yellow and he went to turn when vehicle 1 came at him at a high rate of speed and hit him head on causing his vehicle to spin around and strike vehicle 3 on Concord St head on. Operator of vehicle 3 stated he was stopped on Concord St at the light to Washington St when vehicle 1 struck vehicle 2 and pushed him into his vehicle. After the accident I spoke to a witness who stated he had video of the incident. Jose Buenrrostro works at 2310 Washington St and was able to show me the footage. In the footage you can see vehicle 1 not slow down for the yellow light on Washington which turns red before she reaches the intersection.

At this time she collided with vehicle 1. Neither operator reported any injuries. Neither vehicle required any tows.

Operator of vehicle 1 states she was traveling northbound on Hammond St crossing Commonwealth Ave and had a green light. As she was crossing Commonwealth Ave vehicle 2 came across the front of her vehicle from her right (traveling westbound) and the vehicles collided. Operator of vehicle 2 stated she was traveling westbound on Commonwealth Ave and came to the intersection of Hammond St. Operator stated she had no idea if the light was green or red due to solar glare but continued through the intersection where she was struck on the drivers side by vehicle 1. Both operators and the two passengers of vehicle 1 signed patient refusals with Fallon medics. Vehicle 1 was able to be driven from the scene. Vehicle 2 was towed by Todys. The reporting party to the accident was an uninvolved witness. The witness told dispatch that vehicle 2 ran the red light causing the accident. I attempted to follow up with the witness by calling the number they called from (617-462-6762) with negative results. I did leave a voice mail and will attempt to follow up on my next tour of duty. ***On 10/07/2021 I was able to speak to the witness of the accident, Caroline O'Brien. O'Brien states she was on Hammond St behind vehicle 1 and states that they had the green light to proceed. She also states she saw vehicle 2 traveling westbound on Commonwealth Ave at a high rate of speed run the red light and strike vehicle 1.

MV 1 was traveling north on Watertown St approaching Chapel St. MV 2 was traveling east on Chapel St approaching Watertown St. MV 2 had a green light and began to cross over Watertown St. and continue straight on Chapel St. MV 1 had a red light but failed to stop for it. MV 1 went through the red light crashing into MV 2 in a T-bone manner. The Operator of MV 1 was cited for failure to stop/red light violation (MGL 89-9) )(Citation #T2014775).

On Thursday 11/18/21 at approximately 834 hours while assigned to marked unit n498 I was dispatched to the intersection of Needham Street and Winchester Street for a report of a minor motor vehicle crash with no injuries. Upon arrival I spoke with detail Officer Colella who states to me he was approached by several motorists stating the operator of the Volkswagon Jetta had raced through the intersection going straight and in doing so went through the red light causing the crash. After speaking with Ofc. Colella I spoke with the operator of the Volkswagon Jetta, PETINOW Vladimir, who states to me he was travelling Westbound on Dedham Street approaching the intersection that was backed up with traffic due to the ongoing construction on Needham Street and Winchester Street. PETINOW states when he was in the intersection the light was green and when it turned red he was stuck in the middle and forced to go through the red light striking Motor Vehicle #1 (Acura MDX). PETINOW stated to me he knew the crash was his fault but didn't know what else to do when he was in the middle of the intersection. After speaking with PETINOW I spoke with the operator of the Acura MDX, ST. VICTOR Roosvelt, who states he was travelling southbound on Winchester Street proceeding through the green light at the intersection when he was struck by the Volkswagon Jetta coming from Dedham Street. After speaking with all parties involved and the statements given to me by Officer Colella and taking into account the manner of the collision which indicated to me the Volkswagon Jetta was not yet in the intersection when the light turned red and he proceeded into the path of the ACURA Mdx who had the green light, hence, the right of way. Due to these circumstances I issued Massachusetts Uniform Citation T2012911 to Vladimir Petinow for violation of C89 S9 Failure To Stop at Red Light.

On July 4, 2022 at approximately 06:56 hours I, Officer Guarino, responded to the area of Commonwealth Ave at Centre St for a report of a motor vehicle crash. Upon arrival, I observed the fire and medics on scene with a two vehicle motor vehicle crash, one of which was a rollover. MV1 was on the roof of its car in the northbound lane of Centre St. MV2 was in the Eastbound Lane of Commonwealth Ave. I spoke with the operator of MV2, Annika Morris-Kelly who told me that she was traveling Eastbound on Commonwealth Ave when she stopped at the red light. The light turned green and she began to go, as she proceeded, she noticed MV1 traveling southbound on Centre St and tried to stop but crashed into MV1. I spoke with the operator of MV1, Luymar Bezerra, who said that he was traveling southbound on Centre St and did not see the traffic signals due to the trees on the side of the road and continued through the intersection causing the crash. I asked Luymar for his license and registration. He provided me with a passport and a CT registration for his vehicle. Luymar said that he did not have a license on his posession and did not have a valid license within the United States. He said that he had a Portugese driver's license and has been in the country for less than a year. I was unable to confirm this information and issued a criminal complain against Luymar Bezerra on MA Uniform Citation T1447651 for MGL 90/10 Unlicensed Operation of a motor vehicle. I explained the citation to Bezerra, who said that he understood. All partied involved were seen by medics and signed a patient refusal. Both vehicles were towed from the scene by Todys.
