crash_reports

On 01/04/19 I responded outside of #54 Needham St for a two vehicle crash. Veh #1 was a delivery box van who was driving due North on Needham St. The operator of veh #1 stated he was attempting to take a left into #55 Needham St. when veh #2 came from behind him on his left and he struck veh #2 as he turned. The operator of veh # 1 was taken by Ambulance #1 to Newton-Wellesley Hospital for an evaluation after complaining of pain in his chest area. The passenger of veh #1 stated everything happened "so fast" he didn't see what transpired. Moderate damage to veh #1. The operator of veh #2 stated he was traveling due North on Needham St. and was behind veh #1 for a long stretch of the road. The operator of veh # 2 stated veh #1 put his right directional on three different times but didn't turn. He stated veh #1 had his right directional on and was in the right lane when he went to pass him. Veh #1 then turned into his rear passenger side as he passed. Moderate damage to veh # 2. The operator of veh #2 stated the operator of veh #1 was walking around and yelling about the accident for a period of time and then eventually grabbed his chest and fell to the ground complaining of pain. From the result of my investigation it appears as if veh # 1 attempted to turn from the wrong lane and veh # 2 was passing in the "suicide lane", also wrong lane. There will be no citations issued at this time as both operators were given verbal warnings.

MV1 operator states he was driving around the Newton Corner Rotary and approached the merge at the beginning of the bridge to change lanes to head towards Waltham/Watertown, when MV2 collided with his vehicle. Damage was observed on the front passenger door. No injuries reported. MV2 operator states she was driving on Washington St and approached the merge at the beginning of the bridge to change lanes and head onto the Mass Pike W-Bound, when MV1 collided with her vehicle. Damage was observed on the front drivers side bumper. MV2 operator reported having whiplash but signed a medical refusal and was not transported to the hospital. I then cleared without further incident. The main crash factor was due to the weather being a heavy rain storm at night. It should be noted there is a yield sign facing MV1s incoming direction.

The OP. of MV#1 states he was on the westbound lane of Washington Street, making a left turn into Newton-Wellesley Hospital at 2014 Washington Street. As he was making the turn, MV#2 that was somewhere behind him came from his right and tried to overtake him during the turn and they collided together. The OP. of MV#2 states he was on the westbound lane of Washington Street, making a left turn into Newton-Wellesley Hospital. MV#1 tried to overtake him on his left side as they were entering hospital property and a collision occurred.

The operator of Vehicle #1 stated that he proceeded through a green light, prior to his vehicle being struck on the passenger side by Vehicle #2. As a result of the collision, his vehicle then struck a traffic light. Operator #1 was transported to Newton-Wellesley Hospital by Medic-1, and his vehicle was towed by Tody's Towing Co. The operator of Vehicle #2 stated that he wasn't sure if his light was green prior to the collision with Vehicle #1. He declined medical attention, and his vehicle was towed by Tody's Towing Co. It should be noted that Operator #2 was unable to produce a Driver's License, and a routine query showed no status, thus he was issued a criminal app.

The OP. of MV#1 states he was in a parking space and trying to correct his position within the lines. He pulled out and then when he was about to drive forward, MV#2 suddenly reversed into him. The OP. of MV#2 states she was exiting the parking lot due to it being full. As she was driving forward, MV#1 pulled out of a spot and collided into her. There is supposedly a witness by the name of Jean Charles working for VPNE Valet that observed the accident. He has left for the day and does not have a cell phone or a house phone. Manager on duty states only corporate headquarters 617-451-1393 has information on him. I checked with hospital security for surveillance footage and observed MV#2 passing MV#1. MV#1 then started backing out of his space but MV#2 started reversing. Both vehicles ended up colliding with each other at an angle. Director of Public Safety Ashley will make footage available at insurance request. 617-243-6478 (Footage starts around 2:41PM)

MV#1 was traveling North on Fair Oaks Ave, and attempted to make a right turn onto California St. MV#2 was parked in front of 589 California St facing West. MV#1 appeared to have run over the curb at the intersection, hit a city tree in front of 55 Fair Oaks Ave (California St side), and then crashed into MV#2. When I arrived on scene I observed a male party with blood on his head, and another male party standing next to him, later identified as Elmer Lopez.. I asked Elmer which car he was driving, and he stated that he was in MV#1. I asked Elmer what happened, and he stated that he and the other man with him, identified as Ricardo Deras, were in the rear seat with another male party, and that there were two other parties in the front seat, one of them was driving, he was not able to provide me with a name of who was driving. I asked him where everyone else was, and Elmer stated that after the crash, the got out of the car and ran away. At this point, medics arrived on scene and began to tend to Ricardo. I next spoke with the owner of MV#2, Jim Silva. Jim stated that he was in his home when he heard a loud crash. Jim stated that he came out of the house in time to witness the two males I was speaking with looking at the car, and he also stated that he observed three parties walk away from the scene, two heading east on California St, and one heading north on Fair Oaks Ave. MV#1 and MV#2 were towed off scene by Todys. Due to the scene, and the location of the cars in a busy street, I was not able to do a MV inventory of MV#1 until after it was towed by Todys. The inventory was done at Todys Service station, and a MV inventory sheet was filled out and placed the in appropriate box. 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. Westborough informed me that they made an attempt to contact her with negative results. Westborough PD left my contact information for her to call me back.

MV#1 was traveling north on Hammond Street as it crossed the intersection with Commonwealth Ave when it collided with MV#2. -OpMV#1 stated she was traveling North on Hammond Street. She arrived at the intersection, observed the flashing red light, stopped and as she proceeded MV#1 came out of nowhere and she collide with MV#2. -OpMV#2 stated she was traveling west on Commonwealth Ave when MV#1 was struck by MV#2. OpMV#2 stated she crossed the intersection she felt the strike to the MV#1. She stated the collision was a surprise because she did not see where the strike came from until after the collision. -I next interviewed the passengers of MV#2, in Spanish, at the scene and their statements coincided with those made by OpMV#2. They added that they did not see OpMV#1 slowdown at all as it came at them. - Both vehicles were towed from the scene and one party was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital for further care. No citations were issued at the time of this investigation.

The OP. of MV#1 states he was on the eastbound lane of Washington Street, waiting to make a left turn onto Beacon Street. When he saw there was a break in traffic, he made the left turn and did not see Bicycle#1 coming off the sidewalk, thus colliding with it. The OP. of Bicycle#1 states he was travelling westbound on Washington Street on the sidewalk. He states Washington Street westbound is too dangerous for him to ride on the roadway during rush hour traffic. As he was crossing Beacon Street, Washington Street westbound traffic still had a green light and that's when MV#1 collided into him while making a turn. The OP. of Bicycle#1 was wearing a helmet and had front and rear lights. He did not want me to take his bicycle so he brought it with him to the hospital to be picked up by a family member. Pictures were taken of the damage.

On April 16, 2020, while assigned to WN, I took a report at the front desk for a past MVA/Bicyclist hit and run. LISTUNOV, Oleg reported that on 4/15/20, at approximately 2000 hrs, he was traveling on his bicycle Northbound on Chestnut St. approaching the intersection of Boylston St. He stated he did not stop at the stop sign due to the hill decent, at which time he was struck by MV1 on the left side and knocked to the ground. MV1 was traveling Eastbound on the Boylston St. off ramp. LISTUNOV stated MV1 stopped at the stop sign, and probably did not see him as they then proceeded straight into the intersection. LISTUNOV stated the female driver asked if he was okay and then left the scene. He wasn't able to remember any description other than a possibly yellow, orange, or light colored car. LISTUNOV then proceeded home before responding to Brigham and Women's Hospital. He sustained the following injuries: abrasion to the left side of forehead with internal bleeding, left black eye, right dislocated pinky, cut under chin, abrasions and swelling on both knees. I took photos of his injuries and submitted them to the IT bureau. LISTUNOV was riding a black bicycle, and was wearing black jeans, blue jacket, blue baseball hat, and no helmet.

On 06/10/2020 at approximately 16:30 hours, Sgt. Lee (Unit 531) and I (Unit 523) responded to Waverley Avenue and Sargent Street for a two car motor vehicle accident that involved one vehicle rolling over and a possible head injury to that driver. The accident occurred at 16:11 hours on this date. Both streets are public ways and maintained by the City of Newton. On arrival, I observed a black Hyundai Elantra (MV1) bearing MA Reg.# 1DHN15 resting in the middle of the intersection facing eastbound on Sargent Street heading towards Kenrick Street. The vehicle had heavy front end damage. I then observed a gray Honda CRV (MV2) bearing MA Reg.# 8DZB10 rolled over resting on it's hood facing in a northeasterly direction in the southbound travel lane of Waverley Avenue just past the intersection. I observed the point of impact to be on the passenger side rear wheel area due to the damage which included a large dent above the tire well. Digital photos were taken of the scene and intersection. At this point the operator, Jose Valderrama (MA DL# S27590058), of MV2 was already transported to Beth Israel Hospital in Boston, MA for a possible head injury. The operator was also not aware of what occurred at the time by the responding officers. It was also determined by the initial responding officers (Sgt. Rooney, Ofc. Pohlman & Ofc. Anderson) that Mr. Valderrama driver's license was suspended in Massachusetts by NPD Dispatch. Next, I spoke to the operator of MV1 identified as Cora Lyden (ME DL# 8625330). Lyden states that she was traveling straight ahead (EB) on Sargent Street attempting to go straight through the intersection on to Kenrick Street. She says as she approached the intersection the signal light changed to yellow and she proceeded through when she suddenly saw MV2 coming at her. She then jammed on her brakes and then made contact with the other vehicle. She says that the other driver must have been speeding and went through the red light. Next, Sgt. Lee and I responded to Beth Israel Hospital for a follow up on Mr. Valderrama. The hospital staff stated that there were no signs of a head injury and that he was now coherent. He sustained road rash on his left arm and shoulder area due to the seatbelt and front air bag deployment. We then spoke to him and he stated that he was traveling straight ahead (SB) on Waverley Avenue at about 30 to 35 miles per hour. He says that his signal light was green when he attempted to go through the intersection and another motor vehicle made contact with him. After that, he does not recall what occurred. I asked him if he saw the other vehicle approaching and he stated that he did not see it. After at the station, I followed up with Dispatch and they stated that there was two people that called in to report the accident that they attempted to call back to see if they witnessed the event. They had since not returned their call. I then called both numbers and both parties stated that they were only notifying us and did not observe the accident occur. Due to conflicting statements by both operators and no witnesses on scene, I am unable to determine fault for the accident. Mr. Valderrama will be issued MA Uniform Citation #T2080466 for Ch. 90/S23/E Operating a Motor Vehicle after Suspension of License. Tody's towing responded and towed both vehicles. M/V inventories completed by me.

The operator of veh#1 stated she was driving Westbound on Needham St. when she began experiencing chest pain. The operator remembered looking down for a split second and then she saw both front and side air bags deployed after colliding with Verizon Pole #18A .The pole is on the side of the road by the rear entrance to #168 Needham St..The vehicle was towed by Tody's Towing. The operator of the vehicle was taken by Medics to Brigham and Women's Hospital to be evaluated and checked out. Minor damage (scrapes) to the pole, Verizon was notified to respond and check out their pole.

On November 1st, 2020 at approximately 14:02 hours while assigned to N491 I responded along with Newton Fire and Medic One to the intersection of Pearl St @ Jackson Rd for a MV crash with minor injuries. On my arrival I first observed in the intersection a green colored Volkswagon with Vermont tag,HPK270 with extensive damage. The other involved vehicle a white Jeep Wrangler, bearing Ma tag, 8WK846 was located on the property of the Lincoln Elliot School, 191 Pearl St, also with extensive damage. The operator of the green Volkswagon was identified as Viorel Marin. He stated he was going E/B on Pearl St and was approaching the intersection of Jackson Rd when the light had turned green. As he was entered the intersection vehicle #2 came from his right side(N/B) on Jackson Rd at, according to him, a high rate of speed causing his vehicle to collide with the Jeep. He doesn't remember much after that. I observed a small cut to his right knee and later he showed me a small abrasion to his forehead. All his air bags had deployed on contact with vehicle #2 . I located the operator of the Jeep who was sitting on the ground being assisted by an unidentified women(not a passenger). She appeared shaken but had no visible signs of any serious injury from the crash. She identified herself as Tara Feeley. According to Ms Feeley she had been travelling N/B on Jackson Rd and was attempting to continue straight across the intersection of Pearl St when she was struck by vehicle #1 in the intersection. The impact caused her vehicle to flip over unknown amount of times finally landing on the property to the Lincoln Eliot School. Based on operator #2's statements, my observations of the scene, damage to her MV, it appeared her vehicle after contact with vehicle #1, flipped over N/B across the intersection first hitting the traffic light on the northeast corner, additionally making contact with the utility pole just east of the traffic light before finally landing right side up on the property of the Lincoln Eliot School. She reported climbing out her passenger side window when her vehicle finally stopped. She said,"she was lucky she had her seat belt on". I agreed. Ms Feeley also reported that she was sure that her light was green as she entered the intersection. I attempted to locate any possible witnesses from the crowd that were gathered near the crash site. There were two that heard the crash but none that actually saw what happened. I couldn't locate any cameras near the intersection. Both vehicles were towed from the scene due to the extensive damage/both totaled. Both operators had minor injuries and both declined to be transported to the hospital. They signed patient refusals. Officer Danny Anderson later took several pictures of the crash scene and the all the property damage. Both utility companies were notified. The camera disc was placed in the technology bureau mailbox.

MV1 stated she was on Watertown St heading w/b and "stopped, then turned left onto Adams St when the bicycle hit me." I observed minor damage to the driver's side front bumper, however the operator stated that she "did not know if that was old or new." I asked the operator if the bicycle was coming towards her or was travelling next to her to which both she and a witness stated "alongside on the left by the yellow lines." No tows required or injuries reported. The bicyclist stated he was travelling e/b and not w/b on Watertown St as the witness and operator of MV1 reported. The bicyclist further stated that MV1 was "stopped" in the intersection so "I continued straight and she turned right into me." The bicyclist further stated that he remembers seeing the "headlight and drivers side front hit the back of my bike." The bicycle was heavily damaged and the rear wheel was broken off. The bicyclist was placed in a c-spine collar by Cataldo Ambulance and transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital for abrasions to his head, left hand and right leg." Digital images of the scene were captured and turned over to the IT Bureau by Ofc Durickas. The bicyclist had a helmet, headlight, rear light and was wearing reflective clothing. It should be noted that the Village Bank has a camera which faces this intersection. Due to both MV1 & the bicycle being moved from the scene prior to my arrival, the conflicting stories regarding the direction of travel regarding the bicyclist, it is unknown at this time who is at fault.

MV#1 Was traveling Westbound on Washington St when he was struck at the intersection of Washington St and the entrance/exit to Newton Wellesley Hospital. OPMV#1 Stated he had the green light and the other vehicle came out of the hospital exit making a left turn and collided with his vehicle. MV#2 Was exiting the Newton Wellesley Hospital making a left turn onto Washington St when she was struck by MV#1. OPMV#2 Stated she had a green light and was making a left turn out of the hospital when a vehicle ran the red light and struck her car.

On Thursday May 6th, 2021 at approximately 10:27am I responded to the intersection of Beacon Street and Hammond Pond Parkway for a minor motor vehicle accident involving a pedestrian. At the time of the accident the weather was sunny and the road surface was dry. Beacon Street is a public way owned and maintained by the City of Newton and Hammond Pond Parkway is owned by the State Police. Upon arrival I spoke with the pedestrian who was being treated by medics on scene. She was identified as Erinn McGahan. Erinn stated she was jogging on Beacon Street heading westbound and was approaching the intersection of Hammond Pond Parkway. Erinn stated she thought she made eye contact with the vehicle that was stopped at the stop sign as she continued to jog across the crosswalk. As she started to enter the crosswalk, the vehicle started to take the right turn onto Beacon Street and struck her right knee, causing her to fall on top of the hood of the vehicle and roll off onto the street. Erinn stated she had minor injuries and was transported by Fallon to Newton Wellesley Hospital. I spoke with the operator of the vehicle, identified as Delia Duart. Delia stated she was stopped at the stop sign on Hammond Pond Parkway and did not see the pedestrian entering the crosswalk. Delia stated she started to turn right onto Beacon Street and struck the pedestrian causing her to roll off the hood of her car and land on the street.

This accident was reported approx. 8 hours later due to reporting party not familiar with laws in the U.S. Bicyclist #1 doesn't speak English well and needed her husband (Siarhei Byk) to translate. Bicyclist #1 stated on 05/17/2020 at approx. 1600 hrs., she was travelling southbound on Chestnut Street on the sidewalk. While crossing Anita Cir, MV#1 approached the intersection and collided into her. She was thrown onto the hood of MV#1 as a result of the collision. The OP. of MV#1 helped her into his car and drove her home. The OP. of MV#1 only gave her a business card and nothing else. The husband of Bicyclist #1 came home later and drove Bicyclist #1 to the hospital to be checked out. The husband of Bicyclist #1 called the OP. of MV#1 to get some car insurance information and was denied. The OP. of MV#1 stated he felt uncomfortable giving that information and they would talk the next day about it. The husband of Bicyclist #1 felt this was strange and decided to report it to the police after getting out of the hospital. Bicyclist #1 was wearing black pants and a blue shirt. She did not have a helmet on and didn't have any reflective clothing on. She sustained bruising to both legs and didn't get a concussion. Her bicycle gears and her wheel was damaged from the accident and pictures were taken by me. The brand of the bicycle is Infinity Hybrid and it cost approx. $350.00 USD when new.

The OP. of MV#1 gave a business card with the name Ruth Robart out of 28 Richardson Rd., Newton 617-818-8660. Further investigation revealed a Ralph Robart out of that address with a similar age. Due to the time of night, the investigation would be postponed to daylight hours. At approx. 1550 hrs., I made contact with the OP. of MV#1. He stated he was stopped on Anita Cir., waiting to make a right turn onto Chestnut Street. When there was no more oncoming traffic to his left, he looked to the right and saw it was clear as well and started to accelerate. That's when Bicyclist #1 suddenly rode out from the sidewalk and they collided together. There's a 6 foot wall from a residence that blocked his vision to see further down the sidewalk. The OP. of MV#1 stated there was no damage to his vehicle.

Officers were dispatched to the location of Commonwealth Avenue and Ash Street for a reported Motor Vehicle Accident. Officer Ciccone arrived on scene shortly before myself and stated there was no vehicle at this time at that location. Shortly after, I observed a red Ford Taurus traveling eastbound on Commonwealth Avenue turning onto Islington Road with a missing front bumper and airbags deployed (see incident #22005328). Operator of MV stated he was traveling westbound to a nearby hotel when he lost control of the vehicle and drove off the road. The MV sustained damage to the front of the vehicle and drove into the property of 58 Ash Street. The property had damage to the front lawn. All airbags were deployed. The Operator was taken to Newton Wellesley Hospital for injuries. The passenger had no injuries. The MV was towed by Tody's Service Inc. Due to the injuries I was unable to give the Operator (Anthony Earle) his Massachusetts Unifrom Citation (T1448313) for leaving the scene of an accident (property damage) Chapter 90 Section 24. I handed the citation to his girlfriend Kerry Materia.

Bicycle was traveling either north on Walnut Street or west on Washington Street from the area of Newton Centre. MV1 pulled out from a side street, unknown which side of street, in front of the Bicycle. Causing bicycle and vehicle to collide in an unknown manner. Further causing the bicycle and operator to flip forward in the air. MV1 left the area. MV1 is an unknown description. Operator of bicycle continued on foot on his path home where he was picked up by his father and brought by his father to NWH for cuts on his face and hands. Operator of Bicycle was disoriented and stated he did not know where the accident occurred, manner of collision, MV1's description or if he was wearing a helmet. Operator of bicycle left the bicycle on the sidewalk or in the bushes somewhere on his route home. Bicycle was described as a light blue Trek that was most likely mangled. Bicycle did not have any lights on it. Units canvassed the area and were unable to locate bicycle. Bicyclist was wearing a grey sweatshirt, black jeans and brown shoes. If the Bicyclist and his father find the bicycle later they will call NPD to canvas the area. Traffic Bureau update (Officer Gaudet): On March 1, 2022, I was able to speak with the injured bicyclist, Mr. Yonatan Gershon. Mr. Gershon stated he was traveling on Walnut Street (N) in the right shoulder lane towards the area of Hull Street and Kirkstall Road. Walnut Street, Hull Street, and Kirkstall Roads are all public ways maintained by the City of Newton. Mr. Gershon stated while operating his blue Trek gravel bicycle he continued on Walnut Street when a black vehicle (no further description) appeared out of no where on his left hand side and entered his travel lane. Mr. Gershon stated he did not have time to react and crashed into the rear passenger side of the vehicle. Mr. Gershon stated he does not recall anything between the time he made contact with the vehicle and the time he came to a rest on the roadway. Mr. Gershon stated the vehicle never made an attempt to stop and it left the area. Mr. Gershon stated after the crash he began walking towards the Newtonville Square area until his father picked him up and brought him to Newton Wellesley Hospital. Mr. Gershon stated he suffered injuries to the right side of his face, his right should, right hand, and was diagnosed with a concussion as a result of the crash. Mr. Gershon initially believed the vehicle entered Walnut Street from either Kirkstall Road. Kirkstall Road is on the Eastbound side of Walnut Street and if a vehicle exited the street onto Walnut Street it's driver side would be facing Mr. Gershon's direction of travel. Hull Street is on the Westbound side of Walnut Street. Hull Street supports one-way traffic and traffic can only enter Hull Street from Walnut Street. If the vehicle were to enter Mr. Gershon's travel lane as he described, the vehicle would have to travel Eastbound on Hull Street in violation of the one-way restriction to take a left onto Walnut Street and travel Northbound. Mr. Gershon stated it is possible the vehicle may have exited a driveway from a residence on the Westbound side of Walnut Street, taking a left turn to travel Northbound. After speaking with Mr. Gershon about his injuries and his attempt to avoid crashing into the vehicle, we surmised Mr. Gershon attempted to travel around the vehicle's left side prior to impact, with the right side of his person crashing into the vehicle. Mr. Gershon stated he was not wearing a helmet at the time of the crash and there were not lights or reflective equipment on his bicycle. Mr. Gershon stated he was wearing a gray and white hooded sweatshirt with jeans at the time of the crash. Mr. Gershon stated he returned to the scene after the crash and discovered his bicycle resting near the lawn of a residence on Walnut Street in the area of the crash on the Westbound side of the street. Mr. Gershon stated there was extensive damage to the front wheel and the frame of the bicycle was bent in half. I canvassed the area for black vehicles with fresh damage to their rear passenger side with a negative result. I also canavassed the area for cameras with a negative result. To be further investigated.

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.

The OP. of MV#1 stated he was travelling westbound on Commonwealth Ave. when he ran out of gas. His vehicle then started rolling backward and he collided with the guard rail. The OP. of MV#1 appeared to be confused so medics responded. Initial evaluation is low blood sugar causing confusion. MV#1 was towed by Tody's of West Newton. The OP. of MV#1 was transported to Newton-Wellesley Hospital and Springwell will be contacted. No damage to guard rail.

On Wednesday, June 15, 2022, at approximately 1652hrs, I Officer Fay responded to 47 Hancock Ave. for a report of a hit and run. Upon arrival I met with the operator and passenger of MV1 who stated they were stopped on Hancock Ave at the intersection of Beacon St., Laurel St. and Hancock Ave. It should be noted that Hancock Ave. and Laurel St. end when connecting to Beacon St. MV1 was proceeding to turn left on to Beacon St. when MV2 ran the stop sign on Laurel St crossing Beacon St. onto Hancock Ave and struck the left front end of MV1. MV2 did not stop and continued to drive North on Hancock Ave. MV1 was able to turn around to try and follow the vehicle, but had to pull over in front of 47 Hancock Ave., due to heavy damage on the driver side front end of the vehicle. The operator of MV1 stated she was having back pain and would like to be evaluated by paramedics. Fallon Paramedics arrived on scene to evaluate the operator of MV1 and proceeded to transport her to Newton Wellesley Hospital for further evaluation. Prior to the operator being transported, the operator and the passenger described the vehicle that struck them as a blue, rusty van. They stated they did not see the plate of the vehicle, but stated the driver side front end of the vehicle would have sustained damage. They also stated that they were unable to get a look at the operator of the other vehicle. Upon clearing, the passenger of MV1 stayed with the vehicle waiting for her father and a personal tow. The operator and passenger were advised that a report would be generated in regards to the incident. After clearing I searched the area yielding negative results of MV2. I also checked the neighborhood for cameras that would of captured the incident, yielding negative results.
