I took three pictures of the damaged tree and submitted them to IT to be attached to this report. While I was taking the pictures of the tree, two males were walking past the scene. I stopped both parties and questioned them about the incident. They stated that they had been in the car, but had not been driving. I asked them if the knew who the driver was, and they told me that they did not know the name of the driver. Due to no witnesses observing the driver and all parties stating that it was someone else, I was not able to determine a driver of the vehicle. Units checked the area for the fifth party in the vehicle with negative results. Ricardo was transported to NWH hospital by medics. All other parties were sent on their way. All units cleared without further incident. **UPDATE** On Nov 25, 2019 at approximately 1621 hrs, I contacted Westborough Police Department in an attempt to get a hold of Dora.

The truck / trailer was not at the location. The trailer is MA trailer reg # C39390 a 2013 Brav trailer color red registered to CIRO CARBONE AND SONS INC 12 ANTHONY CIR NEWTON MA. Her vehicle is a 2020 Kia utility color white MA reg. 6ZG351. I observed some red transferred paint on her passenger side from the rear door to the front door. I advised them of process and I would look into the trailer. I was able to find the truck/trailer on California St at Dalby Street. I looked around the trailer and observed a minor scratch on the driver side of the trailer near the front of the trailer. I contacted the owner who due to the heavy rain all day sent home his employees. I will update oper 2 statement when I talk to him. At this time it appears with the trailer scratch being minor a reasonable person would have not known. Update: Monday October 19, 2020 I spoke with the oper of v2 via phone, he stated he was on Washington Street near Whole Foods traveling westbound with the truck/trailer. He stated he was traveling in the right travel lane. He stated the truck/ trailer was always in the proper slow lane and didn't know about the contact until I notified him. I advised him of the crash process.

The owner of MV#1 stated she came out of work at NWH at 0730hrs and noticed the passenger front of her vehicle was damaged. She stated that she parked her vehicle in the that space at 2330hrs the night before. I observed significant damage to the passenger front of the vehicle. It should be noted that I did not observe and parts on the ground or any debris indicating that the accident occurred in that location. The headlight was totally shattered out and there were missing parts from vehicle. There was also a fluid trail that appeared to be leaking from the front passenger side. This trail indicated that the vehicle was driven and backed in to the parking space after the collision took place. Based on my training and experience I do not believe that vehicle was struck in that location as a hit and run. There were no cameras in the area. The owner requested her own tow for the vehicle. I submitted a photo of the claimed hit and run scene to the IT bureau and it was attached to this accident report.

Operator 1 of MV 1 stated he was traveling E/B on Pine Ridge Rd when somebody was crossing the street and caught him off guard.

Owner of MV1 stated that she believes that the driver of an unknown white truck that was plowing the parking lot had backed into her vehicle stricking the driver side headlight of her vehicle. I asked the owner if she saw the incident occur which she stated "no." I also if she had the plate or had any other description of the truck, which she replied "no." Photographs of the damage and the scene were taken and forward to the IT Bureau to be attached to this report. Owner of MV1 stated that she spoke to the operator of the white truck, and described him as a tall, older white male who was wearing a black hat and had dark mustache. This person was not on scene when I arrived and the owner of MV1 stated the operator of the unknown white truck stated that he had not hit her vehicle. Due to snow from an on going snow storm, I did not witness any vehicle tracks by her vehicle. There were also no security cameras in the parking that would of recorded the incident. Owner of MV1 was given a crash report # in regards to the incident.

On Tuesday 12/22/2020, at approximately 1730 hours, I, Ofc Donald Murphy, met a party at the front desk in regards to a hit and run incident. I spoke with Andrew Shvetts, who stated his wife Tetianna Shvets's vehicle was struck today in the parking lot of Baza grocery market from 10 am-11 am. The owner of MV 1, Tetianna Shvets was shopping at Baza grocery market while her vehicle, MV 1, was parked in the parking lot. When Tetianna returned to her vehicle there was a note on her windshield stating MV 2 struck her vehicle "possibly" on the right rear side and left the scene. The plate of the vehicle was left on the note as well. There was no contact information of the witness left on the note or any manner of collision. There was minimal damage (a few scratches) on MV 1. Andrew provided photos of the damage to the vehicle and the note left on the windshield.The photos of the damage and note are attached to this report. The plate came back to 79 Wheeler Rd in Newton. I went to the address to follow up with the operator of MV 2. I spoke with the owner and operator of MV 2, Mrs. Lyuba Regelman. Lyuba admitted to shopping at Baza grocery market today. Lyuba denied hitting MV1 and there was no damage to her vehicle I could see that matched the damage from the incident. I will not be seeking charges on Lyuba for leaving the scene because there is no contact information of the witness and there is no matching damage to MV 2.

Mr. Rankin did research and discovered that the plate is registered to JCAC Enterprise out of Milford and provided me with a phone number. It should be noted that when I queried the plate it comes back to that company as well. I will attempt to follow up with the company during business hours on my next tour of duty.

They also stated that Mr. Rankin called them and they are going to pay for damages.

Mv#1 was parked unoccupied opposite #8 Burrage Rd (N/B). #1 was sideswiped by an unknown Mv that left white paint transfer damage on #1's driver's side front end side and also struck the driver's side mirror all causing moderate damage. I spoke to the resident at 8 Burrage Rd. The resident stated a visitor in his house, Jonathan Kaplan, witnessed the accident. The resident stated Kaplan told him he observed a white sedan bearing MA Reg CIAF31 (Mv#2) attempting to parallel park between #1 and another Mv. During the attempt, #2 was observed sideswiping #1. Kaplan further stated a male operator got out of #2, left a note on #1 and drove away. Mv#1 owner/operator Ms Joan Beer stated no note was ever found. Later from HQ, I called the witness phone number provided (617-455-2557) by the resident of 8 Burrage Rd. I called that number, received VM and left a message. A query of #2 registration comes back on a '18 white Lexus G350 to a Mr Barry Benjamin of 79 Florence St #510S Newton. I received information Mr Benjamin's phone number was 339-223-0079. This number when called was not Mr Benjamin's. Later from HQ, I spoke to Ms Beer and provided her with the witness plate number observed as the paint color is a match to the damage sustained on her Mv. She was advised insurance company will investigate further based on current information received. Later, the witness Mr Kaplan returned my phone call and provided the following statement: Kaplan stated he was in his driveway outside directly across the street from where the accident was taking place. Kaplan stated the accident was very obvious as damage was unfolding while Mr Benjamin was attempting to squeeze between Mv#1 and another vehicle. Kaplan stated after realizing he (Mr Benjamin) could not fit he started to drive away. Kaplan stated it drew the attention of another witness (unknown) standing on the street when both walked up to Mr Benjamin's vehicle and asked him if he was going to leave a note for the damaged vehicles. Benjamin refused. Kaplan described Benjamin's overall demeanor as "rude." Kaplan stated he told Benjamin he has cameras capturing the incident. Not until then, Benjamin got out of his car and left a note on only the other vehicle reported to be minor license plate damage. Kaplan stated Benjamin never left a note on Mv#1, the vehicle with obvious moderate damage. Kaplan stated he actually viewed the note left on the other vehicle and said it was illegible. Kaplan told Benjamin this and Benjamin yelled to him "mind your own business" and drove away. Kaplan stated his ring doorbell camera was not positioned to capture any of the incident. Traffic Bureau update (Officer Gaudet): On September 8, 2021 I was able to make contact with the operator of MV2, Mr. Barry Benjamin (S42076881). Mr. Benjamin stated he was operating his 2018 Lexus G350 (MA: CIAF31) at the time of the crash. Mr. Benjamin stated he was backing his vehicle into a parking spot and the space ended up being too small. Mr. Benjamin stated the rear of his vehicle crashed into the front bumper area of MV1, knocking off it's license plate. Mr. Benjamin stated he got out of his vehicle and put the plate back on MV1. Mr. Benjamin stated he left a note in the vehicle with his contact information and left the area. I asked Mr. Benjamin if he was aware of making contact with another vehicle in the area. Mr. Benjamin stated he did not make contact with any other vehicle. Mr. Benjamin stated there was no damage to his vehicle and stated he would e-mail me pictures of his vehicle and pictures of MV1 that he took on scene. Those pictures were forwarded to the IT Bureau to be added to this report. Mr. Benjamin also stated in his e-mail, "My wife informed me that the homeowner who contacted the police called my wifes attention to a car up the street. The car was on the opposite side near a dirt road that had been side swiped earlier. My wife said, "That has nothing to do with us" and the homeowner agreed that that situation did not involve our car." At this time, no charges will be filed against Mr. Benjamin for leaving the scene of property damage.

Movitz states she was parked in the Newton Centre Lot in a row of parking stalls near Walgreens on the Langley Rd side. Around 1315 hrs, Movitz noticed damage to the left rear side of her vehicle. She stated that the vehicle parked next to her, MA reg 298MS7, had damage to the front left side and was parked at an angle that may suggest an improper turn into the parking spot (see diagram). Movitz was able to show me two pictures of minor damage to both vehicles, however I am not able to confirm that the damage is related to each other via the photographs. A white male with spiky hair in his 40's drove off in the vehicle, according to Movitz, but there was no interaction between the two. I was able to make contact with the owner of the vehicle in question, who told me that his son Daniel Suleski III DOB 4/10/92 was operating his car today. Suleski was able to be reached by phone and was adament that he did not hit another vehicle. Suleski did state he was parked in the Newton Centre Lot around the time in question.

It was reported that she made contact with the rear of vehicle #1 and immediately left the scene. I spoke to Mccourt on the phone, who informed me that the woman was a white female between 60-70 yrs old. She appeared to be making a 3-point turn in the lot, hit a bush, then the rear bumper of vehicle #1. I asked Mccourt if there was any indication that the woman knew she hit vehicle #1, to which he stated "it certainly seemed so, because she motioned for me to move out of her way after she hit it". The vehicle was described by Mccourt as a blue sedan. MA reg 2EE316 comes back active on a 2011 blue Toyota Camry to Sergey Klepikov out of 1156 Chestnut St in Newton. QED shows a Vera Klepikov residing at that same address with a DOB of 12/22/52. I have left a message with the number on file for the Klepikov residence for Vera to contact me. Damage to vehicle #1 appears to be minor-moderate scraping from the picture I was shown by Goud. To be further investigated.

I advised her that the Officers in the City of Newton are always very careful while driving, and that today was an accident that occurred. I asked her to supply her license, and registration. She said she was not comfortable doing that, and that she did not trust police, and that "it was not going to go in her favor." I advised her that I am on scene to take statements and facts from both parties, and that all of it would be included in the report. At this point she handed me the license and registration. Vehicle 2 had a small dent to the center rear bumper. Vehicle 1 had minor damage to the front push bar. Both vehicles were able to drive away from the scene. No injuries occurred due to the accident. Pictures were taken, and submitted to the IT Bureau.

Newton Police, Fire and Medics were dispatched to Commonwealth. Ave. and Dartmouth St. for Motor Vehicle Collision. Dispatch was advising a vehicle had collided into a poll. Upon arrival, Ofc. observed a Eversource street light poll laying on the grass carriage lane (westbound side). MV#1 was observed facing westbound in the eastbound lane of Commonwealth. Ave with front and side airbags deployed. The operator of MV#1 reported she was traveling westbound on Commonwealth Ave. prior to colliding into the light pole, but states she does not remember the moments prior to the collision.The operator of MV#1 reported she was uninjured, but was transported to Newton-Wellesley Hospital as a precaution. Newton Fire personnel determined the damaged light poll was not a hazard while Eversource was notified regarding their damaged poll. A witness to the collision reported they observed MV#1 traveling westbound on Commonwealth Ave. at approximately 20-25 mph, before it veered off the roadway and into the light poll. After colliding into the light poll MV#1 crossed over the double yellow line into oncoming traffic and hit the curb on the eastbound side of Commonwealth Ave. Pictures of MV#1 and the Eversource light poll were taken on the N493 camera and submitted to the NPD IT bureau. A Request for an Immediate Threat License Suspension/Revocation was faxed over to the Massachusetts RMV on behalf of the Operator of MV#1 due to the circumstances of this collision.

On June 20, 2022 at approximately 1342 hours, I responded to 124 Langley Rd for a report of an MVA. Upon arrival, I spoke with owner of MV2 who stated a man named Patrick Fabrizio saw MV1 strike their MV and continue down the road(see Patricks witness statement). The owner of MV2 stated their vehicle was parked outside of 124 Langley Rd when the incident occurred. I observed damage to the driver's side mirror. Patrick was able to take a photo of MV1 plate and I was able to contact the owner and coordinate an exchange of information among the Owners. Owner of MV1 states she was driving WB on Langley Rd when she struck MV2 side mirror. No injuries or tows to be reported.

Mv#1 operator stated he was travelling on Elliot St E/B (right of way) passing the exit driveway of Negoshian's service station, 14 Elliot St. #1 stated at that time, a black Lexus SUV bearing MA reg H2158 (Mv#2) nosed out from the driveway and made contact with his passenger side rear quarter panel behind the wheel. #1 stated he pulled over on Elliot St however #2 did not stop and left the area. #1 described the operator as a W/M with dark beard and a female passenger. I observed #1 passenger side rear quarter panel which appeared to show fresh light colored scuff marks and light paint transfer. I queried the reported plate number of #2 which came back registered to Beverly Newman 16 Pickwick Rd W. Newton on a black Lexus SUV. Ofc Chieu responded to this address and located #2 there. The male operator was raised who identified himself as Peter Feig of the same address. The owner Ms Newman was the front seat passenger. I was able to observe a photo of the left front end of #2 and observed a light scuff mark where the grill meets the fender. I spoke to Mr Feig who stated he was unaware there was a collision at all. It appears the silver colored front grill of #2 made contact with #1. He stated he did remember #1 drive by at a high rate of speed. Feig was advised a report would be on file. #1 owner Mr Todd Miller was advised of my findings, satisfied and will contact his insurance company if needed.
