Walnut St is a public way in the city of Newton. Approximately two tenths of a mile south 100 Walnut St, Ofc Garcia stopped the male on the scooter. 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.

Prior to Brown being transported I was dispatched to the area of 100 Walnut St for a report of a male on an scooter who had crashed into a south bound vehicle in traffic on Walnut St and another vehicle that was parked in front of number 73. Upon my arrival I spoke with Penni Rochwerger and Nikita Espinal.

I asked Ms. Pusateri if she was distracted at all while operating her vehicle prior to the collison. Ms. Pusateri stated she was not.

Ms. Pusateri stated the bicyclist crashed into her vehicle in the Northwest side of Derby Street just outside of the marked crosswalk in the intersection. Ms. Pusateri stated she knows it was in the street in the intersection because she observed a woman with a stroller on the sidewalk on the corner of Cherry Street at Derby Street on the Franklin Elementary School side and she had already travelled through the intersection passed the East side of Cherry Street.

Due to the narrow roadway and traffic getting backed up from two accidents, the OP. of MV#1 was sent on his way (coworkers picked him up) and advised he will be mailed a citation for being unclicensed.

On Wednesday, February 16, 2022, while assigned to Traffic unit N525, I responded to the intersection of Cabot Street and East Side Parkway for a report of a motor vehicle/bicycle crash. The weather at the time of the crash was clear and sunny. The road surface was dry. Cabot Street and East Side Parkway are both public ways maintained by the City of Newton. I spoke with the operator of MV1 (2016 Mazda CX3, NY: JNB6711), Mr. Tushar Singhal (NY: 287647610). Mr. Singhal stated he was operating his vehicle on Cabot Street (E) towards the East Side Parkway intersection. Mr. Singhal stated he came to a complete stop at the stop sign on Cabot Street. Mr. Singhal stated he did not see any vehicles or pedestrians in the area at this time. Mr. Singhal stated he proceeded to travel through the intersection from his stopped positon and take a left turn onto East Side Parkway. Mr. Singhal stated at this time a bicyclist crashed into the passenger side of his vehicle. Mr. Singhal stated the bicyclist then fell over his hood and onto the roadway. Mr. Singhal reported no injuries from the crash. I observed damage to the front passenger side door, mirror, fender, and hood. Sgt. M. Wade spoke with the injured bicyclist, Keiji Imai, while he was being evaluted by Newton Medics. Mr. Imai stated he was operating his Trek bicycle on Cabot Street (W) towards the East Side Parkway intersection. Mr. Imai stated he was on the sidewalk and entered the intersection with out stopping. Mr. Imai stated he crashed into the side of MV1 and fell to the roadway. Mr. Imai was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital with minor injuries to his left wrist and rear. Keiji was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash. I observed the helmet to have no fresh damage or defects. Photos were taken of the helmet to document it's condition. Keiji's father, Koguke Imai, was made aware of the crash involving his son and stated he would respond to the hospital. I observed no substantial damage to the Trek bicycle. I transported Keiji's blackTrek bicycle to Keiji's residence. I spoke with a witness to the crash, Ms. Madison Albano. Ms Albano stated she was walking her dog on Cabot Street (E) on the Northbound sidewalk at the East Side Parkway intersection. Ms. Madison Albano stated she observed MV1 approach the intersection to her right side on Cabot Street (E) and come to a stop at the stop sign. Ms. Albano stated she then observed MV1 make a left turn onto East Side Parkway and she heard a crash. Ms. Albano stated she observed a bicyclist crash into the passenger side of MV1 and then fall to the roadway. Ms. Albano stated she did not see the bicyclist prior to the crash and does not know if he came off of the sidewalk or was in the roadway. After speaking with all involved parties, I have summized the following. As MV1 was completing his left turn onto East Side Parkway (N) from Cabot Street (E), the involved bicylist failed to yield at the stop sign while traveling on Cabot Street (W) across the intersection. The bicyclist entered the intersection with out yielding and crashed into the passenger side of MV1. MV1 had the right of way. No citations will be issued as a result of this crash. Photos were taken of the scene and submitted to the IT Bureau. Keiji is a student at Newton North High School.

On 4/22/22 I responded to 101 Charlemont St. for a past MVA that occurred on 4/21/22 at 0700. Operator of MV1 stated they were backing out of their driveway and onto Charlemont St. when MV2 was traveling Eastbound and struck the back of their vehicle. MV1 sustained damage to the rear end. Operator of MV2 stated they were traveling Eastbound on Charlemont when they didn't notice MV1 backing out of their driveway. The front of MV2 hit the rear of MV1. MV1 sustained damage to the front end. MV2 was issued MA Uniform Citation #T1447649 for Ch. 90 Sec. 9 Unregistered Motor Vehicle (Straight Expiration). It should be noted MV2 was down at an auto body shop in Scituate at the time I took the report. As of 4/28/22 the vehicle's registration is now active.
