The operator of MV#1, identified as Frank Vanmierlo states that he parked his MV in the Marriott parking area at approx. 7:45AM on 12/9/19. When he returned to his unoccupied MV he found MV#2 making contact with the rear of his MV and his MV was now moved slightly from its original parking spot.

At approximately 1840HRs on Saturday, December 14, 2019, I was dispatched to 139 Melrose St. for a report of a single car vs tree MVA. Upon arrival, I observed MV1 (MA Pass:13LM32) to be at rest on the side of the road with it's front end contacting a tree, aproximaytely 150 feet south of the above address at a bend in the road. It should be noted that it had been raining for hours prior to this accident and that the road surface was wet; additionally the tree did not appear to be damaged. Upon speaking to the operator of MV1, he stated that he was traveling Southbound on Melrose St. when he navigated around a parked car in front of the above address and as he did so, may have overcorrected or due to the current road surface condition, accidently struck the tree. The front seat passenger of MV1 concurred with the operator's statement. Both parties stated they were not injured. MV1 sustained damage to its front end. As MV1 was not impeding traffic, AAA contacted and towed MV1 at the behest of the operator. I cleared without incident.

She stated when she stopped she felt rear impact from V2. Both parties had no injuries at this time. V2 was towed by Todys towing to 1354 Washington Street Newton.

Ofc Garcia stated that the male on the scooter was evasive when answering his questions and claimed that he did not realize that his face was covered in blood.

When I asked Brown what had happened he gave conflicting answers and contradicted himself. Brown stated that he was riding his scooter on the roadway south bound on Walnut St be could not recall any other details. When I asked Brown if he was wearing a helmet as required by MGL 90/1E he stated he couldn't recall. Rochwerger, Espinal and Ofc Garcia all stated to me that they did not see Brown wearing a hamlet. There was an unconfirmed post by a person named Tricia Marucci to the Facebook group Newton Parents stating that at 14:45 hours on 12/19/2019 saw Brown hitting a defect in the roadway in the area of Crafts St by California St that caused him to loses control of his scooter and fall face first onto the pavement. In her post Marucci stated that Brown was cover in blood from facial lacerations, and that he refused medical aid and continued to ride his scooter south bound towards the entrance to Walnut St. I left a message for Marucci to contact me and as of the writing of this report she has yet to do so. While at the hospital I ran Brown's name and date of birth via the MA RMV data base in order to issue him a citation for not wearing a helmet. The query of Brown via the MA RMV data base reviled that Brown's MA driver's license statutes was suspended. On 07/11/2018 admitted to a finding of sufficient facts to one count of MGL 90/24 OUI liquor. Brown received a Continued With Out Finding for 18 months.

The vehicle had a shattered windshield. Ms. Chapman appeared to be wearing a dark colored jacket and dark pants. The operator of the motor vehicle, Emily Shuman, stated she was traveling westbound in the outside lane when Ms. Chapman stepped in front of her car from the eastbound lane.

No injuries reported, no tow required, and no security camera recordings. Witness was advised for the registered owner to contact their insurance.
