On 12/05/2020 at approximately 22:00 hours I was called in to respond to a single vehicle crash with serious injuries in the area of 291 Nahanton St. Nahanton St is a pubic way in the City of Newton. Upon my arrival at the crash scene with Sgt Devine I was briefed by Officers Daly and Anderson, ( see Ofc Daly's report for further information CAD # 20054728 in regard to changes take out against the operator of the truck ) I made the following observations of the crash scene, Nahanton St is a public way in the City of Newton that is a two way roadway divided by an unprotected merdium ( double yellow line ) that runs east to west. The roadway surface was wet due snow and ice. The roadway was plowed and the snow was pushed to the shoulder, althought wet the roadway was icy. There was approximately 2 inches of snow on the shoulders of the roadway. The road was light with overhead head street lights. The posted speed limit is 25 MPH. I observed a 2013 Chevrolet Silverado pick up truck that had major front end damage. The Chevrolet was at an angle with it's front end facing west bound and resting on the grass shoulder and into a wooded area. The Chevrolet rear was sticking out into the shoulder of the east bound lane of Nahanton St. The passenger side front and rear doors of the Chevrolet had been removed by the fire department to extricate the driver and passenger. The driver and passenger side air bags were deployed . The front passenger side windshield of the Chevrolet was completely missing and the driver's side had completely shattered. The front tires, hood, and engine had been compacted on it's self. The front and rear driver's side doors had been mechanically open by the fire department. The speedometer needle had stopped at 54 MPH. The Chevrolet left the roadway and left tire marks in the snow in the eastbound bike lane of Nahanton St. At a 106.4 feet from the beginning of the tire marks the first point of impact was with two tree stumps that were 3.5 feet from the roadway, four feet tall and 3.5 feet in diameter. The tire marks continue in the east bound bike lane and exit the roadway and onto a dirt shoulder at 136.1 feet from the beginning of the tire marks. The truck continued to the right of a utility pole and then it's passenger side made contact with a tree at 170.8 feet from the begin of the tire marks. The tree was 12 feet from the bike lane approximately 5 feet in diameter. The impact with the tree caused the truck to turn so that the rear was facing north east on the dirt shoulder and bike lane. The final point of rest of the rear passenger side tire was 200 feet from the beginning of the tire marks. The truck's rear diver side tire final point of rest was 209 feet from the beginning of the tire marks. The front driver's side tire was compacted into the trucks engine and the passenger side front tire was located behind the tree approximately 20 feet from the roadway. Sgt Devine took photos of the crash area and of the truck and the disk was download by the NPD's IT Bureau. The truck was towed from the crash scene by Todys's Towing to their lot for storage, I fill out a towed motor vehicle form. There were no reported witness who observed the crash. The crash was reported by an unknown passerby. On 12/07/2020 Ofc Gaudet faxed a request for preservation of medical records, blood and urine samples of Schneider to Beth Israel Deconess Medical Center.

On Thursday 7/15/21 at approximately 0900hrs I was dispatched to 12 Rockland Street for the report of a motor vehicle with heavy damage resting in the middle of the street. Upon arrival I observed a brown Nissan Altima unoccupied not running in the middle of street. Heavy front end damage on the passenger side along with two flat tires on the passenger side. There was no operator on scene but the car was registered to 12 Rockland Street. It should be noted that Rockland Street is a public way located in the City of Newton. I spoke to the reporting party Barry Cocuzzo who lives at 18 Rockland Street. Mr. Cocuzzo stated he witnessed William Power operating the Nissan and turn onto Rockland Street. Mr. Cocuzzo observed Power drive into his driveway with the two flat tires and heavy front end damage. When Power exited the vehicle Cocuzzo yelled over to him but stated Power's was unable to communicate clearly to him. Cocuzzo observed Power's walk into his residence at 12 Rockland and then bereaved the vehicle slowly roll back out of the driveway. Medic 3 and Tody's responded to the scene. Due to the heavy damage and two flat tires Tody towed the vehicle. A towed motor vehicle inventory report was filled out. Medic 3 was called to the scene to evaluate the health of Power's. Officer Tocci and myself located Power's in the residence passed out on the couch. Empty alcohol cans were all around Power's. After several attempts to wake up Power's he finally came too. Power's speech was severely slurred, he could barely keep his eyes upon and he lacked the ability to stand up without assistance. The Medics transported Power's to Newton Wellesley. Power's is being cited (Ma Citation 069847AB and 06850AB) for 90/10/A Unlicensed Operation, 90/24/E Negligent Operation of MV, 90/24/C Leave Scene of Property Damage, 90/24/J OUI Liquor and 90/24/P Use MV Without Authority. 5 photos were taken of the motor vehicle. It should be noted that the original location of the crash and the object that was struck are unknown to us at this time. Dispatch was also able to confirm that Power's did not have an active license at this time. Power's mother Bernice Fougere who is the owner of the vehicle stated to me that Power's did not have permission to use her vehicle.
