Officer A. Kane (MV#2) was parked S/B on Cherry st. @ Pleasant St. processing a past MVA accident. While MV#2 was parked, the vehicle was sideswiped by MV#1 which was travelling S/B on Cherry St. Road conditions were slippery and it was snowing at the time of the crash. MV#2 suffered damage to Drivers side door and drivers front quarter panel. MV#1 suffered damage to front passenger side quarter panel. No injuries reported.

MV1 was traveling east on Madison Ave from Walnut St approaching #80. There were 2 landscape vehicles parked on left side of the street. The operator, Sarah Ruth Loper-Sengupta, stated that she never saw the pedestrian that was in the roadway (N) due to solar glare. Loper-Sengupta stated she heard a thump coming from the passenger side of her vehicle. Loper-Sengupta stated she looked over to her right and saw a trash barrel in the air. Loper-Sengupta stated she then saw a male party lying on the roadway on her passenger side. Immediately after striking the pedestrian, Loper-Sengupta, stopped to check on him. There was a golden doodle dog in the back seat of the MV at the time of the accident, unrestrained. There were no obstructions hanging from the mirror or windshield area. The front drivers visor was down. There was no airbag deployment. I observed significat damage to the front passenger side windshield area. There was also damage to the front passenger side hood area. See Sgt. Lee update for victim statement Numerous pictures were taken by Ofc. Gaudet of the MV and scene. They were TOT IT. The MV was towed by Tody's due to its shattered windshield. No citation will be issued to Loper-Sengupta. The solar glare caused her to not able to see the pedestrian. The Sgt. and I dont believe the pedestrian looked before crossing with the barell on his left shoulder because he would have been able to see the MV coming as this is straight away section of Madison Ave. It should be noted, that when I arrived on scene I immediately noticed the seolar glare as I walked east on Madison Ave.

On 05/20/2018 at 17:30 hours I was notified by Captain Anastasia of a motor vehicle crash involving car, and an electric scooter. Captain Anastaisa stated that the operator of the scooter was a 12 year old male who had sustained unknown injures and had been transported to Boston Children's Hospital via ambulance. Upon my arrival at the crash scene I made the following observations, Putnam and Winthrop streets are public ways in the city of Newton that are two way single lane non divided roadways. The roadway surface was wet from rain earlier in the day. Putnam St runs north to south and Winthrop St runs east to west. There is a stop sign at the end of Winthrop St at Putnam St. I observed MA reg 54MN41 a 2005 Buick LeSabre stopped in the south bound lane of Putnam St approximately 1/2 of the way into the intersection with Winthrop St. I observed approximately three feet of skid marks from the Buick's rear tires. I also observed at the crash scene a Segway Ninebot electric scooter that was on the ground near the Buick(cid:31)s rear passenger side door with its handlebars detached. I spoke with the operator of the Buick, Robert DeSouza who stated that on 05/20/2019 at approximately 16:50 hours he was driving south bound on Putnam St at approximately 25 miles per hour. DeSouza stated that he saw a man, later identified as Jose Estabil standing on the east sidewalk of Putnam St facing Winthrop St who was yelling and waving his arms at something on Winthrop St. DeSouza stated he looked to his right towards Winthrop St and his view was obstructed by a row of hedges.

DeSouza stated that he heard a crashing noise from the rear passenger's side of his vehicle. DeSouza stated that he stopped his vehicle after the crash and saw a boy lying on the ground at the rear passenger side of his vehicle. DeSouza stated that he was not injured in the crash. DeSouza's vehicle had minor damage to its rear passenger side door, and did not require a tow. Witness Charlotte Hart stated that at approximately 16:30 hours on 05/19/2019 she was diving south bound on Winthrop St. Hart stated that she had to stop short on Putnam St to avoid a crash " with a boy on a scooter that was racing around on Winthrop St. " Hart sated that she told the boy on the scooter that he should not be ridding the scooter in the street. Witness Jose Estabil stated that he was walking on the east side walk of Putnam St across from Winthrop St. Estabil stated that he saw a boy an electric scooter on Winthrop St approaching Putnam St. Estabil stated that he saw DeSouza's vehicle driving south bound on Putnam St approaching Winthrop St. Estabil stated that the boy on the scooter made no effort to stop, slow or avoid the crash with DeSouza's vehicle. Witness Laurel Fransworth stated that she was driving north on Putnam St approaching Winthrop St when she saw the crash occur. Farnsworth stated a boy on an electric scooter on Winthrop St crash into the rear passenger side door of DeSouza's vehicle. Fransworth stated that she believed that the row of hedges at the end of Winthrop St obstructed DeSouz's vehicle. Rowan Delaney ( 02/27/2007 ) stated that on 05/20/2019 at approximately 16:00 hours he and his fellow F.A. Day Middle School student Thiaugo Rubino ( 03/04/2007 ) were having a race around the area of Winthrop St, Putnam St and Shawn St. Delaney stated that he was on foot running on sidewalks while Rubino was on an electric Ninebot Segway scooter. Delaney stated that Rubion was not wearing a helmet or any other safety equipment. I spoke with Delaney(cid:31)s father Royston Delaney, who stated that the scooter was his and that he was unaware that Rubino was using his scooter, and that he has never seen him ridding it before. Royston Delaney stated that the scooter is battery powered and has a maximum speed of 19 MPH. Royston Delaney stated that his son told him that only Rubino was ridding the scooter. Rubino was transported via ambulance to Boston Children(cid:31)s Hospital. On 05/20/2019 Rubino underwent surgery for a brain bleed. I spoke with Rubion(cid:31)s mother Sonia Rubino who stated that as of 05/21/2019 her son was under observation and in addition to the brain surgery her son had a broken arm, broken leg and a broken back. Based upon witnessed statements and my observations of the crash area I believe that Rubion was at fault for the cause of this crash. Myself and Officer Helms took photos of the crash area and the disks were turned over to the NPD(cid:31)s IT bureau for downloading.

At approximately 0500HRs on Tuesday, December 17, 2019, I was dispatched to a 2 vehicle MVA in front of 38 Commonwealth Ave. Upon arrival, I spoke with the operator of MV1 (MA CON: S25585) who stated that he attempted to back up his vehicle (Westbound) and accidently struck MV2 because he was not able to see it in his mirror. Upon speaking to the operator of MV2 (MA CON: S13628), he stated he was traveling Eastbound as MV1 was backing up. He then stopped MV2 and when MV1 did not, he activated his horn which had no effect and MV1 backed into him. I observed MV1 to have no discernable damage. I observed MV2 to have sustained damage to its front bumper, grille, hood, passenger's side fender and both head lamps. MV1 had a single passenger who reports he did not witness event in question, as he was focused on eating at the time. No one involved reports any injuries. I cleared without incident.

On 02/26/2020 I responded to the area of Eastbourne Rd and Ireland Rd for a motor vehicle crash involving a pedestrian. Eastbourne RD is a public way which runs from Ward St north bound intersecting with Ireland Rd on the far north end. Ireland RD is a public way which runs west to east. Both the east end and the west end of Ireland Rd are dead ends. The crash occured on Ireland Rd's east end near the intersection of Eastbourne Rd. The crash involved Vehicle 1 described as a 2016 Acura SUV color grey bearing MA passenger registration 3RB127. Vehicle 1 had a valid inspection sticker which expires on 08/30/2020. Vehicle 1 was operated by its owner identified as Barbara Ball. Ball has an active MA Operators License (S18727836). The involved pedestrian was identified as Bruce Terrio. Terrio is an employee of Feeney Brothers Utility Services. Feeney Brothers Utility Services is a contractor of National Grid Gas Company. Upon arrival I observed the following: The crash occurred in the daylight hours around 10:30am on Ireland Rd near the intersection of Eastbourne Rd. At the time of the crash the weather conditions were clear, 48 degrees Fahrenheit and overcast skies (weather.gov). The area where the crash occurred was an active construction site for Feeney Brothers Utility Services. The area of the crash is a dead end. The area is accessed from Ward St from either Eastbourne Rd or Coolidge Rd. The entrances of both Eastbourne Rd and Coolidge Rd had construction signs indicating utility work in the area. At the time of the crash, all roadways were open to vehicle traffic. On the eastbound side of Eastbourne Rd just prior to the intersection of Ireland Rd, I observed a large air compressor which was parked in the roadway facing south bound. No traffic cones were located near the air compressor. To the right of the air compressor were thick green bushes. A wooden fence was located to the right side of the green bushes. On the east side of Ireland Rd I observed a large excavated hole on the right side of the roadway. The hole was near the intersection of Eastbourne Rd and was located approximately three feet from the curb. I observed four traffic cones, two on the front side and two on the left side of the hole. Located on the front edge of the hole was a tire print. Vehicle 1 was located on the west end of Ireland Rd. The front passenger tire of Vehicle 1 had fresh dirt located on the sidewalls and the tire tread. Vehicle 1 appeared to have no visible damage. The pedestrian (Terrio) was being treated by EMS and Fire for injuries. Terrio was wearing brown pants and a green reflective safety vest. I spoke with the operator of Vehicle 1 Barbara Ball. Ball stated that she was operating Vehicle 1 northbound on Eastbourne Rd near the intersection of Ireland Rd. Ball stated that she made a right turn onto Ireland Rd and drove on to the edge of the excavated hole. Ball stated that her vehicle then made impact with Terrio who was in the hole. Ball stated that she immediately stopped, backed out of the hole and called 911. Ball stated that prior to making a right turn onto Ireland Rd, there were no traffic cones in the roadway or next to the hole. Ball stated that as she made the right turn onto Ireland Rd she did not observe Terrio or the hole until it was too late. Ball states that she resides at 80 Eastbourne Rd which is the residence located to the immediate right of the crash location. Ball states that she had been recently parking on Ireland Rd due to ongoing construction at her residence. Ball states that she was traveling at a slow speed prior to impact. At the time of the crash there were three other Feeney Brothers employees working at the site. These workers were identified as Steven Gamble, Mike Cabrinma and Gerard McComaskey. At the time of the crash all three workers were located further up Eastbourne Rd near the intersection of Coolidge Rd and did not observe the crash. At the time of the crash, Newton Police Sergeant Glenn Chisholm was working a paid detail for Feeney Brothers. Sergeant Chisholm stated that he did not observe the crash.Terrio was transported by Cataldo EMS for minor injuries. Several photos were taken of the scene. Photos were taken of the hole with traffic cones and without traffic cones. All photo's were submitted to the IT Bureau. After clearing the scene, I responded to St Elizabeth's Hospital in Brighton, MA to interview Terrio. Terrio stated that at the time of the crash he was standing in the hole on Ireland Rd performing gas utility work. Terrio stated that the front passenger side bumper of Vehicle 1 struck him in the right shoulder. Terrio stated that the impact caused him to lose his balance and fall down in the hole. Terrio states that after falling down he was able to climb out of the hole without assistance. Terrio stated that at the time of impact he was wearing a white hard hat which he thinks struck the pavement on the edge of the hole. Terrio states that at the time of the crash he was working alone in the hole. Terrio states that at the time of the crash traffic cones were located near the hole. Terrio stated that as a result of the impact he sustained minor injuries to his right shoulder and back. I then observed Terrio's hard hat which appeared to have a fresh scrape mark on the top. The hard hat also had broken interior straps. Terrio stated that the straps broke when he was struck by Vehicle 1. Photos were taken of the hard hat and were submitted to the IT Bureau. After reviewing all facts of this incident, Vehicle 1 appeared to have been traveling at a slow speed prior to the crash. This was evident due to the lack of tire skid marks prior to the tire print on the edge of the hole. It also appears that Ball's view of the hole and Terrio may have been obstructed by the parked air compressor on Eastbourne Rd. The thick green bushes and a wooden fence to the right of the air compressor also added to the obstructed view. The hole was also located in close proximity to the air compressor which reduced Vehicle 1's reaction time. Jeff Oliver of OSHA was also notified of this incident. Photographs of the scene were provided to Oliver.

Upon arrival I spoke to Ms. Jennifer Ann Pope (Driver 1 of MV 1), who stated that when she was taking a left turn to Auburn Street, she followed a car (MV 3) in front of her, because she believed that MV 2 saw her and was letting her to take a left turn.

I then spoke to Ms. Katherine Mary Iodice (Driver 2 of MV2), who stated that she yielded the right of way to MV3 and then started making a turn right after that car. Ms. Iodice stated that she did not see MV1, which was following closely to MV3, and while she was making a turn, she observed MV1, but it was too late to stop and her car (MV2) crashed into MV1.

On 11/08/21 at 14:08 hours while on routine patrol I came across a two car motor vehicle crash in the westbound lane of 667 Commonwealth Avenue. Commonwealth Avenue is a public way owned and maintained by the City of Newton. Both operators were outside of their vehicles at the time and reported no injuries. I observed Vehicle # 1 (Honda Civic MA reg. # 2CWA44) to have heavy front end damage to the bumper and hood area. It was parked back approximately ten feet from Vehicle # 2. Due to the damage and it leaking anti-freeze coolant, Tody's Towing was notified to tow the vehicle away. Vehicle # 2 (Ford EcoSport MA reg. # 2HJV37) was parked in front of Vehicle # 1 and sustained damage to the center and right rear bumper area. It was still driveable. I spoke to the operator of Vehicle # 2 (Maria Bianchi MA D/L # S97972578) and asked her what occurred. She stated that she was traveling westbound on Commonwealth Avenue in her Ford EcoSport (MA # 2HJV37) but was stopped at the time waiting for a vehicle in front of her to make a left turn on to Grafton Street. She was then struck in her rear end by Vehicle # 1. After, I spoke to the operator of Vehicle # 1 (Maria Kuznetsova MA D/L # S48191231) and asked her what occurred. She stated that she was traveling westbound on Commonwealth Avenue in her Honda Civic (MA # 2CWA44) and did not see Vehicle # 2 stopped in traffic due to the sun. She then struck Vehicle # 2 in the rear end. At that time, there was noticeable solar glare in that area of Commonwealth Avenue. This part of Commonwealth Avenue also has a slight curve that you come around and ends at the point where the crash occurred. After, I went back to my cruiser and checked the status of the vehicles and operators through the RMV on my laptop. It showed that Maria Kuznetsova had a expired non renewable driver's license which expired on 07/15/21. Kuznetsova's Honda Civic came back with a status of being unregistered due to revoked insurance. It was revoked on 08/29/21 through the MA RMV. I issued MA Uniform Citation # 185998AB in hand to her for Ch. 90/10/A Unlicensed Operation of a Motor Vehicle, Ch. 90/9/B Unregistered Motor Vehicle, and Ch. 90/34J Uninsured Motor Vehicle and explained the process to her.

Operator of vehicle one ( 2019 Honda CRV MA reg 2SAH91 ) Elizabeth Sylvia stated that on 11/16/2021 at 16:56 hours she was driving south bound on Needham St near Charlemont St. Needham St is a public way in the City of Newton. Sylvia stated that as her vehicle slowed to turn left onto Charlemont St it's front driver's side struck a pedestrian in a crosswalk. Sylvia stated that she did not see the pedestrian prior to the crash due to the area not being lit. It should be noted that the over head street light was inoperable, and the cross walk was not illuminated or reflective. The crosswalk sign that was posted before the crosswalk was not reflective. Sylvia stated that she was unaware that a crosswalk was at the crash location. Sylvia was not injured in the crash , and her vehicle had no damage to it. The pedestrian Nivicha Morpeau stated that she was in the crosswalk in front of 241 Needham St when she was stuck by the front driver's side of vehicle one. It should be noted that Morpeau was wearing dark clothing at the time of the crash. Morpeau complained of back pain, but refused medical treatment and transportation to the hospital. Morpeau singed a patient refusal form provide to her by Medics. Based upon statements made to me by Sylvia and Morpeau I issued Sylvia MA Uniform Citation T 2016746 and cited her for a violation of Newton City ordnance 19/116 failure to stop for a pedestrian in a crosswalk. I took photos of vehicle one and the disk was forward to the NPD's IT Bureau for downloading.

At approximately 2120HRs on Tuesday, November 16, 2021, I was dispatched to the intersection of Hammond St. and Beacon St., for a reported two car crash. Upon arrival, I observed MV1 to have sustained damage to its front passenger's side fender/head light, hood, grille, bumper and it was leaking fluids. I observed MV2 to have sustained damage to its driver's side fender/door and it was leaking fluids. Upon speaking to the operator of MV1, they stated that they were traveling straight (southbound) on Hammond St. and they had a green traffic signal. While they were in the intersection, MV2 failed to stop for their red traffic signal, as they traveled straight on Beacon St. (eastbound) and as a result, MV1 struck MV2. Upon speaking to the operator of MV2, they stated they were traveling straight on Beacon St. (eastbound). At this time, their windshield fogged and they could not see out of it. They continue to drive straight, while attempting to adjust the HVAC controls to clear up the windshield. They then proceeded into the intersection and were struck by MV1. They stated they did not know the color of their traffic signal, as they were looking down at said controls. Neither party were injured. Newton Fire applied speedy dry to the fluids. Todys removed both vehicles. I cleared without further incident and completed NPD Towed Motor Vehicle Forms for each vehicle.
