crash_reports

On the above date/time I responded to the area 2000 Washington Street Newton -Wellesley - Hospital for a two motor vehicle crash on the 3rd floor of the parking garage. Upon arrival I met with the operator of vehicle one, she stated she was pulling into a parking spot and applied the brakes but due to the ice on the roadway and slope of the roadway her vehicle slid into the rear of vehicle two which was parked. Vehicle two was unoccupied, and dispatch tried to get in contact with the owner to advise them. I also left a message with NWH in case the owner comes back in. No injuries and I advised of the process. Later in the day the owner vehicle two came to NPD, I gave him vehicle one inforamtion and advised him of the process.

At approximately 1615HRs. on Thursday, January 24, 2019, I was dispatched to the intersection of Elliot St. and Boylston St. for a report of an MVA. Upon arrival, I located the operator of MV1 (MA Pass: 1NB459) who had pulled into the BP gas station. He stated that he was traveling Northbound on Elliot St. when his traffic signal turned red and he brought his vehicle to a complete stop at the intersection. He stated that at this time, he was rear ended by MV2. He and the operator of MV2 then got out of their respective vehicles and spoke about the collision, after a few moments, the operator of MV2 got in her vehicle and left. Using the picture of MV2's license plate (MA Pass: 3EY477) which he provided me, I was able to contact the operator of MV2 at her residence. She stated that she was traveling Northbound on Elliot St. and observed MV1 come to a stop and she applied her brakes and came to a complete stop aswell, without making any contact to MV1. She further stated that the operator of MV1 became agitated and started to yell at her. She then left because she asserts that there was no collision and she was concerned by the operator of MV1's behavior. I observed no damage to MV1's rear bumper area, with the exception of an old dent, approx. the size of a quarter, which was highlighted with some type of permanent marker. I observed no damage to MV2's front bumper area and I noted large, pronounced license plate bolts affixing MV2's license plate to its bumper. The operator of MV1 stated that he was suffering from back pain due to the collision and elected to drive himself to Carney Hospital. Due to there being no damage to either vehicle and the large plate bolts on MV2, which would have likely caused notable damage to MV1's bumper, I will not be charging the operator of MV2 with leaving the scene of an accident at this time. Both parties have been advised to contact their insurance companies and I cleared without incident.

MV#1 Stated while traveling westbound down Commonwealth ave he struck a patch of ice. The ice caused his vehicle to rotate 360 degrees and proceeded to slide on the roadside shoulder striking a verizon poll ( 102/285). MV#1 traveled approximately 12ft from the road before striking the poll. MV#1 sustained heavy front end damage. MV#1 had all airbags deployed and had a small fire under the front end. I observed multiple other vehicles passing having difficulties and vehicles sliding due to significant ice conditions. Driver of MV#1 had injuries to his left arm, possible broken forearm/wrist. Passenger of MV#1 stated she had chest pains. Medics transported both parties to Newton Wellesley Hospital for further evaluation. Tody's Towed the vehicle due to heavy front end damage.

The operator of vehicle 1 stated that with a green left turn arrow showing, and her left directional on she went to turn onto Waltham Street from Crafts Street when all of the sudden she hit a bicyclist. She stated she did not see the bicyclist at all prior to him hitting her car. The bicyclist stated does not remember anything from the accident at this time. The bicyclist was traveling southbound on Crafts Street and appears to have entered the intersection of Crafts and Waltham Street without stopping and while a red light was showing. He was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash, he was not wearing any reflective clothing(dark green jacket), and the bike did not have any lights. The bike was taken to support services for safe keeping by Ofc. J.March. Vehicle#1 was towed away by Tody's towing due to extensive damage. Bicyclist was transported to Beth Israel hospital for several trauma injuries. Pictures of scene was taken by me and sent to IT Bureau. Both witness's statements were the same. They stated that they were behind vehicle 1 in traffic and saw that she had on her left dirrectional signal and had a green left arrow signal when vehicle 1 went to turn left onto Waltham Street.

On Tuesday, April 16, 2019 while assigned to Traffic unit N525, I responded to the area of Plymouth Road and Cochituate Road, Newton for a report of a motor vehicle/pedestrian accident involving a City of Newton vehicle. The weather at the time of the accident was clear and sunny. The road surface was dry. Plymouth Road and Cochituate Road are both public ways maintained by the City of Newton. The injured pedestrian, Officer Steven Emmanuel, was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital prior to my arrival on scene. I spoke with the operator of MV1, Officer Justin Lau. Lau stated he was on duty in his official capacity as a Newton Police Officer while operating a City of Newton owned 2018 Ford Fusion (MA: 9PYM80, Newton PD #1319). Lau stated he was parked on Plymouth Road (N) at Cochituate Road and was speaking with Officer Steven Emmanuel. Lau stated Emmanuel was standing next to the front driver side door area of his vehicle in the roadway. Lau stated a large delivery trucked approached their location on Plymouth Road from Woodward Street and was attempting to make a right turn onto Cochituate Road. Lau stated Emmanuel directed him to back his vehicle up so the delivery truck could get by their location. Lau stated he cut the wheel of the vehicle he was operating to the right; and very slowly began to back up from his location. Lau stated he was attempting to back the vehicle up to get closer to the curbing and out of the roadway. Lau stated as the vehicle was in motion the front driver side wheel made contact with Emmanuel's left foot. Emmanuel's left foot subsequently became lodged in the front driver side wheel well area. Emmanuel fell to the ground in obvious pain. Emmanuel directed Lau to pull the vehicle forward in an effort to release his foot. Emmanuel's foot was freed and NPD Dispatch was notified of the accident. Pictures were taken of MV1 and submitted to the IT Bureau. I observed no damage to the front driver tire area. I spoke with Officer Steve Emmanuel in the Newton Wellesley Hospital emergency room where he was being evaluated for a left foot injury. Emmanuel stated at the time of the accident he was working a paid detail for Paramount Pictures on Plymouth Road in his official capacity as a Newton Police Officer. Emmanuel stated he was speaking with Officer Lau on Plymouth Road at Cochituate Road. Emmanuel was standing in the street on his post and Lau was sitting in MV1 (parked). Emmanuel stated a Fed Ex delivery truck approached their location in the roadway and was attempting to get by them. Emmanuel stated Lau began to back his vehicle up in an effort to get out of the way of the delivery truck. Emmanuel stated the front driver side tire of MV1 ran over his left foot. After the tire ran over his foot, it then became lodged in the wheel well and he fell to the ground. Emmanuel stated his foot was freed from the vehicle and he was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital by Newton Medics for further evaluation.

The operator of Vehicle #1, identified as Ms.Erzsebet Piros, stated that she took a left turn from Walnut St onto Washington St prior to the colliding with Ms. Kim Nguyen. She further stated that she did not see the pedestrian prior to hearing the collision. Her passenger, identified as Ms. Amy Torres, was sitting in the front passenger seat. She stated a similar account, and did not see the pedestrian prior to the collision. Neither party complained of injury, when asked. A witness, Ms. John Angelucci, was travelling in his vehicle, in the lane next to Ms. Piros. He stated that he only heard the collision, and couldn't see it due to vehicle lights, and the falling rain. The pedestrian, Ms. Kim Nguyen, stated that she attempted to cross the street, when she did not see any cars coming. She stated that she didn't see Vehicle #1 approaching until it was too late to get out of the way. It should be noted that Ms. Nguyen was not attempting to cross inside of a crosswalk, and was wearing dark colored/Navy Blue clothing. Ms. Nguyen was transported to Beth-Israel Hospital, and was communicating effectively prior to transport. Pictures of the scene, and damage to the vehicle were taken, and sent to IT for entry.

Operator 1 states she was stopped in traffic Northbound on Cypress St when she was struck from behind by vehicle 2. Vehicle 2 states he was stopped in traffic on Cypress St behind vehicle 1. Vehicle 2 was struck from behind by vehicle 3 which pushed vehicle 2 into vehicle 1. Operator 3 states she was traveling Northbound on Cypress St approaching other vehicles stopped in traffic. Operator 3 started to apply her brakes; however, due to the rain and wet roadway her vehicle started to slide as if she had no brakes.Vehicle 3 slid into vehicle 2 and vehicle 2 struck vehicle 1. Vehicles 2 and 3 sustained moderate damage and vehicle 1 sustained minor damage. Operator 2 was transported to Newton-Wellesley Hospital with neck pain.

Vehicle 1 was parked unoccupied in the employee parking lot of Newton Wellesley Hospital when it was hit by Vehicle 2. The operator of vehicle 2 stated she was correcting her parking job and tried to back up, but the car was actually in drive and not reverse. the car drove forward hitting vehicle 1 going over a curb and hit a tree a few feet past the curb. This caused minor damage to Vehicle 1 and major front end damage to Vehicle 2 as well as front air bag deployment. Since this occurred on hospital grounds the operator of vehicle 2 walked herself to the ER for precautionary reasons and was cleared. Vehicle 2 remained in the parking area for a private tow company.

I responded to the area of Commonwealth Ave@Lexington st at approx 1610 hrs on 05/09/2019 for a report of a H&R/MVA. I arrived in the area and located Sarah Hamilton. Sarah informed me that she was on Comm. Ave (westbound) stopped attempting to turn left into the Dunkin Donuts parking lot. Sarah stated she was rear ended by a silver sedan operated by a female operator. Sarah spoke with the unidentified woman, who refused to exchange information. The woman returned to her vehicle and left the area. Sarah could not get the license plate, vehicle make /model. Sarah Hamilton complained of neck pain. EMS responded to medically evauate her. Sarah did not want to be transported to the hospital and signed a refusal/waiver with EMS. The only damage I observed to V1 was paint scratches along the rear bumper. The rear bumper was intact free of any dents/creases.

On 6/7/2019 at approx 0827hrs while assigned to 497 I responded to 2014 Washington St, The Newton Wellesley Hospital for a report of a 2 car crash with possible injury. upon arrival I observed both FL Reg BWDG86 and MA Reg 3AT486 , both with major front end damage leaking fluids blocking the west entrance to NWH. Both operators were out of their vehicles. I spoke with Alicia LOWE who was operating FL Reg BWDG86 who stated she was travelling eastbound turning right into the parking lot when she collided with Helen COOK operating Ma Reg 3AT486 who was turning left into the parking lot from the west bound lane of Washington St. Both LOWE and COOK were complaining of pain but both signed refusals with Cataldo.

MV1 operator, Maria Forgione, stated that while she was traveling on Watertown St, she had a passed a large landscaping truck parked at 857 Watertown St which hindered her seeing Tasker pulling out into traffic on the bicycle. Tasker stated the same, that she saw traffic clear and believed it would be safe to pull out into traffic but the landscaping truck created a blindspot. Tasker was not wearing a helmet. There was damage to MV1 on the passenger front end. Tasker was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital. Tasker's bicycle was left in her possession at her residence at 871 Watertown St. Pictures were sumbitted to IT.

On 06/30/2019 at 15:30 hours I was notified by Sgt Lee that a crash involving a motor vehicle and a bicyclist had occurred on Wiswall Rd at M Roadway. Upon my arrival at the crash scene I made the following observations, Wiswall Rd is a two lane non divided public way in the city of Newton that runs north to south from a dead end to Dedham St. The posted speed limit on Wiswall Rd is 25 MPH. M Roadway is a two lane non divided public way that runs west to east from Wiswall Rd to a dead end cul-de-sac. The weather conditions at the at of the crash were cloudy, and the roadway surface was wet from rain. I observed MA commercial registration M82794 a gray 2014 Honda Accord stopped in the north bound lane of Wiswall Rd at M Roadway. The Honda is registered to Newton Driving School. I observed two smudge marks approximately four inches in length on the center portion of the front and rear passenger side doors of the Honda. I also observed a 20 inch Kent bike that had be moved from it's final point of rest prior to my arrival. The bike had damage to it's front handle bars, front tire and it's two front forks. The bike's front tire had gray scuff marks on it. At the crash scene I spoke with the operator of the Honda, David Dombrovsky. Dombrovsky stated that he was driving north bound on Wiswall Rd near M Roadway approximately 20 to 25 MPH. Dombrovsky stated that he has had his learner's permit for six months and is a student at the Newton Driving School. Dombrovsky stated that he did not see the bicyclist but heard the impact of the bicyclist stricking the passenger side of the Honda. At the crash scene I spoke with driving school instructor, Igor Drizik. Drizik stated that the Honda was driving north on Wiswall Rd near M Roadway at approximately 20 to 25 MPH . Drizik stated that he did not see the bicyclist until approximately 1 to 2 seconds before impact on the driver's side of the Honda. Drizik stated the Honda is equipped with dual brakes and that he applied the brakes at the same time as Dombrovsky. Drizik stated that he and Dombrovsky got out of the Honda to render aid to the bicyclist. There were three other driving school students in the rear of the Honda at the time of the crash, neither of them stated that they witnessed the crash. None of the occupants of the Honda stated that they were injured and the vehicle did not require a tow. The bicyclist was identified as David Kerwin-Derrick. Kerwin-Derrick was transported via EMS to Boston Children's Hospital form treatment. At the hospital I spoke with one of Kerwin-Derrick's mother's, Patricia Kerwin-Derrick, who stated " We all know that David rode his bike into the car " and that her son had a broken left leg. Kerwin-Derrick is a student at the Memorial Spaulding School. Based upon my observations of the crash scene and statements made to me , I believe that Kerwin-Derrick's unintentionally rode his bike into the passenger side of the Honda. Photos were taken of the Honda, bike and crash scene and the disk was down loaded by the NPD's IT Bureau.

On Tuesday, July 23, 2019, while assigned to Traffic unit N525, I responded to the intersection of Beacon Street and Washington Street, Newton for a motor vehicle accident involving a bicyclist. The weather at the time of the accident was overcast. The road surface was dry. Beacon Street and Washington Street are both public ways maintained by the City of Newton. I spoke with the operator of MV1, Paige Mahoney (S85200426). Mahoney stated she was stopped in traffic at a red light on Beacon Street (W) at Washington Street in her 2018 black Volkswagon Tiguan (MA: 633MV6). Mahoney stated while her vehicle was at a complete stop, she felt and heard something hit the rear of her vehicle. Mahoney exited her vehicle and saw a bicyclist on the roadway. I observed minor damage to the rear middle bumper area of MV1. There was a small amount of blood present on the damaged area. I observed the roadway where the accident occurred. There was a small pool of blood in the left lane of Beacon Street (W) where the bicyclist fell to the roadway. The area of the roadway where the accident occurred is currently undergoing restoration and the asphalt has been graded down to it's sub base in preparation to be resurfaced. The current road surface condition is bumpy and uneven. The area where the roadway goes from a smooth surface to a bumpy surface is where the accident occurred. The injured bicyclist was identified as Timothy Johnson (S29270605). I spoke with him in the Newton Wellesley Hospital emergency room. Johnson stated he was operating his bicycle Westbound on Beacon Street on the right side of the left lane. Johnson stated he was coming to a stop in traffic at a red light when his wheel abruptly turned to the left and he began to fall over. Johnson stated his head hit the back of a vehicle stopped in front of him and he landed on his right side, with his bicycle landing on top of him. As a result of the accident, Johnson suffered an injury to the right side of his head and had scrapes on his right arm. Johnson stated he did not lose consciousness as a result of the accident and he appeared to be alert and orientated while I was speaking with him. Johnson was wearing a helmet at the time of the accident. There were fresh markings on the right side of the helmet with minor black paint transfer. These markings are consistent with Johnson's statement that he fell into the back of MV1 and hit his head. Johnson's bicycle was removed from the roadway prior to my arrival and was being stored in the driveway of 2044 Beacon Street by the resident there. I observed no obvious damage to Johnson's bicycle. After speaking with all parties involved and examining the roadway where the accident occurred, it appears that the condition of the road surface contributed to Johnson losing control of his bicycle and crashing into the rear bumper area of MV1 while it was stopped in traffic. Photos were taken of the road surface, John's bicycle, and MV2 and submitted to the IT Bureau.

The operator of MV1 stated that he was traveling southbound on Chestnut Street, stopped at the stop sign, and then continued straight on Chestnut Street towards Needham. He then stated that MV2 came off the off ramp of Boylston Street and did not stop completely at the stop sign. MV1 subsequently t boned MV2. The operator of MV2 stated that he was exiting Boylston Street in the Eastbound off ramp. He stated that he came to a complete stop at the stop sign and began inching out when he was struck by MV1. He also stated that he observed MV1 stop at the first stop sign but believed MV1 was going to stop at another stop sign under the bridge which is why he inched out so far. Both operators were uninjured and signed patient refusals but the passenger of MV1 complained of arm and neck pain and was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital by Cataldo. Todys arrived on scene and towed MV1 as both headlights were disabled and the operator accompanied his wife to the hospital. Overall, MV1 sustained moderate damage to the front end and was towed while MV2 sustained moderate damage to the left drivers side but was able to be driven from the scene.

The weather at the time of the crash was rain. The road surface was wet. Lincoln Street and Walnut Street are both public ways maintained by the City of Newton. I spoke with the operator of MV1, Jill Edelson (S99137352).

On 12/19/2019 at 14:43 hours Newton Police dispatch received numerous phone calls about a white male whose face was covered in blood and was riding on an electric motorized scooter south bound on Walnut St near number 100. 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. The male on the scooter was identified as Gregory David Brown. Brown was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital for treatment. 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. Rochwerger stated that she was driving south bound on Walnut St across from 100 when she activated her vehicle's four way flasher and stopped her vehicle to let Espinal who was the front seat passenger out. Rochwerger stated that south bound traffic stopped behind her vehicle after she came to a stop adjacent to Espinal vehicle that was parked facing south in front of 73 Walnut St. Espinal stated that she checked over her right should to see if it was clear to open her door and it was . Espinal stated that as she opened her door to exit a male on scooter crashed into the door and fell to the ground. Both Rochwerger and Espinal stated that the male on the scooter did not provide his name or address and continued south bound on Walnut St with his face coved in blood. Rochwerger's vehicle sustained damage to the front passenger side door that would not closed all the way. Espinal vehicle also had damage to it, the rear driver's side lower quarter panel was struck. I responded to Newton Wellesley Hospital to speak with Brown. When I arrived and spoke with Brown he was evasive with his answers . 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. I also spoke with a witness, Malcolm Robinson, who stated Ms. Chapman was crossing the street from the eastbound lanes with two other people. The other two people stopped in the middle of the street but Ms. Chapman kept walking and was struck. The other two people were Victor Polk and Halimah Polk, both of which confirmed the witness statement.

On 8/17/2020 at 1550 hrs, while on patrol, I was flagged down by a passerby stating a man had just fallen off his "Bike" in front of 1680 Washington St. Upon arrival, I observed a motorcycle parked on the side of the road with the operator standing next to it. The motorcycle had several scratches on its side and a cracked plastic window, consistent with a collision. The operator stated as he was traveling eastbound on Washington St. his motorcycle began to "skid" on the road's surface as he changed lanes. This "skid" caused the operator to loose control resulting in a collision with the road's surface. The operator had minor lacerations to the knee and elbow and was transported to Newton-Wellesley Hospital. The Motorcycle was placed in the adjacent parking lot, to be picked up later in the evening. It should be noted the roadway in front of 1680 Washington St. had recently been paved over and was smooth and free of debris or defect. There were yaw marks for approx 100 yards in both lanes.

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.

On Monday, July 19, 2021, while assigned to Traffic unit N525, I responded to the area of Commonwealth Avenue and Lowell Avenue, Newton for a report of a MVA/Pedestrian crash. Commonwealth Avenue and Lowell Avenue are both public ways maintained by the City of Newton. The weather at the time of the crash was overcast with light rain. The road surface at the time of the crash was wet. Feeney Brothers Utilities has been performing gas repair services at this intersection for the past month and they have had a paid Newton Police Detail with them during their service.

Ms. Stein stated she did not hear or see the front loader backing up towards them and did not notice it because they were having an "intense conversation". Ms. Stein reported no injuries and signed a patient refusal with Fallon Medics. I asked Ms. Stein if she had transportation to her residence. Ms. Stein stated she would walk home. I spoke with the operator of the front loader involved in the crash, Mr. Mark Mannion (S91049325). Mr. Mannion is an employee of Feeney Brothers Utilities and stated he was operating a 2015 Case Loader (MA CON: R99118) at the time of the crash. Mr. Mannion stated he was backing up the loader down the Commonwealth Avenue carriage road (E) from Lowell Avenue. Mr. Mannion stated he was going to get a load of fill from a pile of dirt on the side of the road inside the marked off work area.

Mr. Mannion was cooperative and while reversing the vehicle the emergency backing alarm was functioning properly in my presence. I asked Mr. Mannion if the loader had moved since it was brought to a stop due to the crash. Mr. Mannions stated it had not moved. I observed this vehicle to be within the parameters of the work zone that was taped off. The vehicle at this time was released back to Feeney Brothers. Photos were taken of the work site and loader and submitted to the IT Bureau. I responded to Newton Wellesley Hospital and spoke with Ms. Sarah Kish (S85088490) in the Emergency Room. Ms. Kish stated she was walking down the Commonwealth Avenue carriage road (E) towards Lowell Avenue with her friend April Stein. Ms. Kish stated a Police Officer assisted them with crossing Lowell Avenue via the crosswalk located on Commonwealth Avenue.

Ms. Kish was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital for her injuries. Ms. Kish stated at this moment, she had some lacerations to her back and head, and her left shoulder/neck/back area was sore. I asked Ms. Kish how often she walks that particular route. Ms. Kish stated 5 times a week. Ms. Kish stated there was nothing in place to restrict her access down to the carriage road after she crossed Lowell Avenue. I spoke with a witness to the crash via telephone, Ms. Megan Boitano.

I asked if I could speak with Benjamin for his account of what happened at the crash. Benjamin stated he was riding his bicycle on Cherry Street (Southbound) on the sidewalk on the East side of Cherry Street. Benjamin stated he left the sidewalk and entered the intersection to cross Derby Street and continue on Cherry Street. Benjamin acknowledged that at this time Cherry Street had a red light and Derby Street had a green light. Benjamin stated he then crashed into a passing car in the roadway. Benjamin was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash. The helmet had significant damage to it as a result of the collision. I told Benjamin his bicycle was being held at the Newton Police Department for safekeeping and we will arrange to get it back to him. Benjamin is a student at the Franklin Elementary School. I make contact with a witness to the crash, Mr. Benjamin Crosby. Mr. Crosby stated he did not witness the actual crash, just the aftermath. I was able to reviewthe 9-1-1 call Mr. Crosby made regarding the crash in Newton Disptach. Mr. Crosby stated a boy on a bicycle was in a crash with a motor vehicle. Mr. Crosby is heard saying "he went through the light" to the Dispatcher taking the call. After completing my investigation, I have summized the following. The bicyclist (Benjamin Lavoie) traveled down Cherry Street (S) and went through a red light to cross the intersection at Derby Street (W). As a result of traveling through the red light and entering the intersection, he crashed into the front passenger side door area of a passing motorist that had a green light (Erica Pusateri). No citation will be issued as a result of this crash.

On 10/13/21 at 08:50 hours, I responded to Washington Street & Brookside Avenue for a motor vehicle accident involving a bicyclist. The weather at the time was clear and sunny (70 degrees) and the road conditions were dry. The accident location is a t type intersection with Brookside Avenue having a stop sign in order to turn onto Washington Street. Washington Street is a four lane road with a painted divider. There is no crosswalk at the intersection as it appears it was recently paved. On arrival, the accident scene was already clear as the bicyclist and his bicycle were waiting on the sidewalk. The motor vehicle involved was parked further back on Brookside Avenue away from the intersection. I spoke to the operator of the motor vehicle identified as Balarama Thavanati. He was operating a 2012 Toyota Camry color white bearing MA reg. # 44VN32. He states that he was operating southbound on Brookside Avenue and stopped at the stop sign at Washington Street. He was attempting to make a left turn onto Washington Street. He states that he inched out after because you can not see the vehicles approaching you. Next, a vehicle stopped on Washington Street to let him out and he thought it was clear never seeing the bicyclist on the right of him. He says the bicyclist approached him very fast and it appeared that he never stopped the bicycle prior to entering the street from the sidewalk. Once he attempted to pull out for the turn he then made contact with the bicycle on the left side. Thavanati pointed to the approximate location where the bicycle came to rest and it appears he was pushed forward approximately three feet from the impact. I observed black scrape marks on the right side of the front bumper which appear to be from the bicycle tires. At this time, the bicyclist, Jacob Harrison, was being tended to by Fallon Medics and Jacob's mother (Juliet Harrison) was already on scene. Jacob stated he was fine but since he was not wearing a helmet and hit his head on the pavement his mother had him transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital by Fallon Ambulance. After, I spoke to Jacob in the emergency room along with his parents. He sustained whiplash to his neck and a scrape to his right inner thigh area. I then asked him what had occurred during the collision. He states he was bicycling on the sidewalk eastbound on Washington Street. He says he stopped at Brookside Avenue and saw the Toyota Camry which was also stopped. He thought it was clear to proceed as if the vehicle was going to stay stopped. He then pedaled into the street and was struck by the Camry on the left side of his body. He fell down and he does not recall what else occurred as the incident happened so fast. The bicycle sustained damage to the front tire rim as it became bent. No other visible damage. At the time, Jacob was wearing black shorts and a white t-shirt with a red picture on it. He was not wearing a helmet and was going against the traffic on Washington Street. On scene there were three witnesses who were walking southbound on Brookside Avenue near Washington Street at the time of the crash. There names were Christine Butera, Marlene Austen, and Marta Travers. All three of them stated that the operator of the Toyota Camry was stopped on Brookside Avenue waiting to make the left turn. He then pulled out and in a split second the bicycle entered the intersection and was struck. They did not have the vantage point to see if the bicyclist ever stopped first before entering the roadway from the sidewalk. Digital photos were taken of the scene.

On Monday November 1st 2021, I responded the intersection of Cherry Street and Webster Street with several other units, for a report of a motor vehicle accident involving a bicyclist. At the time of the accident the weather was sunny and the road surface was dry. Both Cherry Street and Webster Street are owned and maintained by the City of Newton. While in route to the scene, units updated dispatch that the party was unconscious and not responding. Upon arrival I observed the bicyclist laying in the middle of the intersection being tended to by the medics. Medics on scene updated that the bicyclist was now conscious but was not alert and not responding to questions. Medics were able to locate a wallet and cell phone in his pocket and I was able to identify the bicyclist by his Mass License as Thanh Nguyen (S84815152). My first observations of the scene was that Mr. Nguyen was wearing a helmet at the time of the accident. I also observed his bicycle to be completely intact and the brakes functioning properly. The bicycle is a red Fifiel folding bicycle with a basket attached to the front. Inside the basket was a plastic bag containing recyclable cans. Also inside the basket was a bike lock and cable charger. Fastened on the handlebars of the bicycle with tape was a King meter reader. While the medics were preparing Mr. Nguyen for transport I spoke with the operator of the motor vehicle involved, identified by a Mass License as Jeffrey Carter (S21903831). Mr. Carter was visibly shaken up and very concerned about the bicyclist. Mr. Carter stated he was travelling eastbound on Webster Street and had the green light to cross over Cherry Street. He stated as he proceeded through, the bicyclist appeared out of nowhere very fast in the wrong lane and struck the front of his Ford F150 truck. Mr. Carter stated he immediately pulled over and tried to assist the bicyclist but he was not responsive. Mr. Carter stated he moved the bicycle to the side of the road to get it out of the way and waited for help to arrive. Mr. Carter stated his vehicle struck the bicyclist on his right side which caused him to fall to the ground and slide several feet. Mr. Carter stated the bicyclist did not come up onto the roof of his vehicle. He reported minor damage to the front grill and bumper of his truck. Mr. Carter stated he was not injured and signed a patient refusal on scene. His Ford F150 had minor front damage and was able to leave the scene. Sgt. Wade was on scene and speaking with a witness who was in the area walking her dog at the time of the accident. Kara Brewton stated she was walking on the sidewalk of Cherry Street, approaching Webster Street when she heard a loud pop sound. As she looked towards the sound she saw the bicycle and truck make contact and she remembers the red light was facing her on Cherry Street. Kara stated the truck had the green light and the bicycle had the red light at the time she heard and saw the crash. She stated she ran over to assist and dialed 911. She stated she observed the bicyclist with a helmet on at the time of the accident and he was not responsive. Several photos of the scene were taken and submitted to the IT Bureau. The bicycle was taken over to support services were it was logged into evidence for safe keeping. Property and evidence form was completed and submitted by Officer Gaudet. I responded to 223 River Street the residential address listed for Mr. Nguyen to notify his family of the accident but got no response. I was able to locate a phone number for his place of work who was able to provide me with his emergency contact information. I was able to leave several messages with his wife, daughter and sister. His daughter identified as Quynh-Chi Nguyen returned my phone call and was notified of the accident and that her father was transported to the Beth Israel Hospital in Boston. I provided her with my direct line and advised her to contact me with any questions. Later in the day, she contacted me back to state that her father was in stable condition and was going through a number of tests by hospital staff. I will be following up with Mr. Nguyen tomorrow after all his tests are completed. On Tuesday November 2nd, 2021 I was able to make contact with Mr. Nguyen's wife, Cindy Chau. Cindy stated her husband was ok and she was on her way to pick him up from the hospital. She stated she will have him contact me when he arrives home. I asked about his injuries and she stated he did not have any broken bones but wasn't sure and will contact me when they get home. Later that afternoon I attempted to make contact with Mr. Nguyen and was only able to leave a message. I am still waiting to hear back. On Friday 11/05/2021 I returned a phone call to Mr. Nguyen's daughter, Quynch-Chi who left me a voicemail. She stated Mr. Nguyen was home and all his test results came back negative. She stated she provided him with my contact number and he will contact me when he is feeling up to it. She also stated she believes Mr. Nguyen suffered some kind of head injury as he has wound on his head and does not remember anything about the accident. Quynch-Chi asked that I refrain from contacting her mother as she does not feel comfortable speaking to me since she does not speak English well. She asked that all communication go through her. She also asked for a copy of the report and I advised Quynch-Chi that I am still waiting to hear from her father so I can complete the report. I received a call from Mr. Nguyen a few minutes later. He was able to state that he doesn't remember anything from the accident except that he thinks when he went through the intersection the light changed from green to red. Mr. Nguyen also stated that the only other thing he remembers is waking up in the hospital. When asked about his injuries Mr. Nguyen stated he has a hard time breathing and his head, neck and legs are sore. I advised Mr. Nguyen that I will be adding his statements to the report and to have his daughter contact me if he needs anything further. Mr. Nguyen called me again to state that the accident happened because he was turning left and the driver was turning right. I informed Mr. Nguyen that based on the evidence and witness statements it appears that both him and the driver of the motor vehicle were travelling straight at the time of the accident and neither party were attempting to turn. Mr. Nguyen remained silent and just kept stating he was turning left and they were turning right. I advised Mr. Nguyen I will add his statements to my report to which he was satisfied.
