On the above date/time I responded to 647 Washington Street for a report of a two vehicle crash. Upon arrival I met with the operator of vehicle two Mr. Weiner, he stated he was stopped in the Whole foods parking lot when vehicle one backed up into his vehicle. They exchanged information but the operator of vehicle one Ms. Adetola left prior to my arrival. I obtained her license information through Mr. Weiner and when I ran the reg plate on vehicle one it came back to Watertown Ford. I advised Mr. Weiner of the process and I will contact Watertown Ford for more contact information on Ms. Adetola to obtain a statement. Update:Jan. 21, 2019 On Jan. 21, 2019 I contacted Watertown Ford advised them of the crash and obtained a phone number for the operator of vehicle one. I spoke to her on the phone she stated the parking lot roadway was covered in snow/ice, she was backing out of the parking spot and vehicle two continued traveling and struck her vehicle. I advised her of the process.

On Wednesday 02/19/2020, at approximately 1500 hrs, operator of MV1 stated she was traveling eastbound on Newtonville Ave, right before Walnut Street, a dark colored pick up truck was traveling behind her. Operator of MV1 stated she was driving below speed limit due to the approaching intersection at Walnut street when MV2 went into the eastbound traveling lane attempting to go around her. While attempting to go around MV1, MV2 side swiped MV1 causing the driver side mirror to break off causing moderate damage to the driver side of her vehicle. Operator of MV1 stated the pick up truck then stopped in front of her and the operator, an adult male began to yell at her then drive off. Operator of MV1 stated she got back in her car and did not get any information and did not have her cell phone to call the police. Operator of MV1 stated she was able to drive her vehicle home that day. No further description of the pick up truck was provided.

The operator of vehicle 1 stated she was traveling West on the Washington Street bridge over the Mass Pike when vehicle 2, a gray SUV attempted to change lanes, as this happened the front passenger side quarter panel of vehicle 2 came in contact with the rear drivers side quarter panel of vehicle 1. This caused minor scratches to vehicle 1. The operator of vehicle 1 attempted to pull over and exchange information with the other driver. The operator of vehicle 2 continued driving away and got onto the Mass Pike, during this process the operator of vehicle 1 and the passenger of vehicle 1 were able to get the license plate number of vehicle 2 which was NY REG:T797800C. In an attempt to locate and identify the driver of vehicle 2 I ran NY REG T797800C which comes back registered to a short term rental company called Flexdrive. I called a phone number on their website 8663539399 which is listed as the number to call if you are in an accident with one of their vehicles. I was only able to speak to a service technician, a Tom Louis of ARI Fleet Service 18002272273, who told me the vehicle was out of the Flexdrive North Dighton Mass hub located at 123 Williams Street North Dighton MA 02764.Tom also mentioned the location would most likely not be open again until Monday. He did not have any other information regarding who may be operating the vehicle. I have attempted to find contact information on this North Dighton location which I have had negative results so far. I have also emailed the Flexdrive customer service department. To be followed up on. Traffic Bureau update (Officer Gaudet): On Tuesday, February 25, 2020, I made contact with the registered owner of MV2, Flexdrive. The representative from Flexdrive stated MV2 is registered to the company but Lyft uses their vehicles for ride sharing. I contacted Lyft and spoke with a party named Jonas from their support team. Jonas stated he would make contact with the operator of MV2 and ask them to contact me to give a statement. Lyft stated they would also conduct their own internal investigation. On Wednesday, February 26, 2020, I spoke with the operator of MV2, Gary Procaccini (S36066201). Procaccini stated he was operating a 2019 Santa Fe (NY Reg: T797800C) as a Lyft driver on the evening of February 22, 2020. Procaccini stated he was traveling on Washington Street (W) towards the Massachusetts Turnpike entrance in West Newton. Procaccini stated he was in the wrong lane and looked in his mirror before attempting to merge into the correct lane. Procaccini stated to the right of his vehicle he observed a vehicle "flying" towards the entrance to the Pike. Procaccini stated he came to stop to allow the vehicle to pass. Procaccini stated the vehicle passed at a high rate of speed and he continued on his way onto the Pike (E). Procaccini stated he had a passenger in the vehicle using Lyft servies and there were no signs that a crash had taken place. Procaccini's information has been added to his report to reflect him being the operator of MV2. I then spoke with Peter Houser who is a Driver Services Representative with Lyft. Houser stated he had just visually inspected the vehicle alleged to have been involved in the crash. Houser stated the vehicle was in "pristine" condition and he observed no damage to the front passenger side quarter panel of MV2. Houser e-mailed me pictures of the vehicle. I observed no damage to MV2. Those pictures were submitted to the IT Bureau.
