Narrative:
Bicyclist Michael Foley stated that on 05/11/2021 at approximately 22:00 hours he was riding his Blanch mountain bike west bound near 2401 Commonwealth Ave when he was struck from behind by an unknown vehicle. Commonwealth Ave is a public way in the City of Newton. Foley stated that he was thrown from his bike and onto the roadway. It should be noted that the section of Commonwealth Ave were the crash occurred is not lit. At the time of the crash Foley was wearing dark non reflective clothing. Foley was not wearing a helmet or any other safety equipment at the time of the crash. Foley stated that he did not see what type of vehicle struck him from behind and could not offer any other description. Foley was discovered laying in the roadway by a Good Samaritan at 22:08 hours. Upon inspection of Foley's bike I observed that the rear tire and rear fender was bent inward to the left side. I further observed that Foley's bike had no reflective materials affixed to it. Foley stated he did not lose consciousness as a result of the crash. Foley was transported via EMS to the Beth Israel Hospital in Boston for treatment. I respond to the Beth Israel Hospital and Foley again reiterated what he had stated at the crash site, about not having any description of the vehicle that struck him. The staff I spoke with at the hospital stated that Foley had a possible broken shoulder and/or collarbone and abrasions to his hands and legs. Foley's bike and a bag of his possessions were secured at Support Services at the station and Ofc Fay filled out a property form. During a canvass of the crash site no physical evidence from a vehicle was observed. I also observed no skid marks on the roadway. There were no cameras in the area. Due to the lack of physical evidence ,and no witness to this crash I believe that the operator of the vehicle that struck Foley may not of even been aware that a crash occurred. It should be noted that over the past 18 years I have had numerous interactions with Foley, and I know that he is homeless and has resisted any aid from social service agencies. Foley is know to camp in the Town of Weston in woods adjacent to the Massachusetts Turnpike. From pass reports Foley has used Harris Cycles at 1351 Washington St Newton, and the law firm of Jason and Fisher at 47 Winter St Boston as contact locations.

Narrative:
On Thursday May 27th at approximately 0859 hours I responded to 14 Thornton Street for a motor vehicle accident involving a city contracted Waste Management truck. At the time of the accident the weather was sunny and the road surface was dry. Thornton Street is owned and maintained by the City of Newton. Upon arrival I spoke with the operators involved. Operator of MV1, MA REG 31X870 identified as Amado Lebron (S92772420) stated he was stopped behind the Waste Management truck as it was collecting trash. He stated he could not see around the truck to pass so he stayed behind it. Amado stated the truck started to back up and he started beeping to alert the driver of the truck. Amado stated the truck did not stop in time and his vehicle's front end was crushed by the truck. Amado stated he was not injured. The operator of the Waste Management truck was identified as Jose Lopes (S60186065). Jose stated he was picking up trash bins with the truck and started to back up to collect trash. Jose stated if a vehicle is too close behind him there is no way to see it. He stated he heard the beeping and thats when he stopped the truck and noticed he backed into a vehicle. There was no damage to the truck and Jose was not injured. Jose was standing by for his supervisor with the truck. Amado was waiting for a tow and his vehicle was safely off to the side of the road. Photographs were taken and submitted to the IT Bureau.
