On 05/3/2020, at 1933 hours, I responded to the intersection of Crafts St at California St. Upon arrival I observed MV1 facing southbound on Crafts St with a spare tire partially on the front drivers side. Two men, one on a motorcycle, were beside MV1 on the sidewalk. As I approached, the man on the motorcycle fled the scene. The man remaining on scene denied any involvement with the incident. I spoke with the owner/operator of MV2 and she stated she was driving northbound on Crafts St when she observed MV1 traveling in the opposite direction with it's front end scraping the pavement. Simultaneously, a vehicle in front of her swerved out of the way from a tire rolling down the street which then struck the front passenger side of her vehicle causing damage. She pulled over, observed damage to her vehicle, then turned around to find MV1 stopped on Crafts St. facing southbound. A white male wearing a motorcycle helmet was attempting to put a spare tire on the front driver's side of MV1 and another male was standing with him. As she exited her vehicle, the male wearing the motorcycle helmet approached her. She requested the vehicle's insurance information but the male would not provide it and offered her money instead. Moments later as I was arriving on scene, the motorcycle fled. The license plate on MV1 (MA Reg. 116SP2) did not match the vehicle and was canceled. MV1s VIN showed the vehicles status as inactive and uninsured. Charges are pending until further investigation (see incident #20021379). *Updated on 05/07/20* Upon further investigation, Robert Ostrander, the owner of the Audi TT involved in the incident, is being cited for the following: -Ch.90 Sec.23, Attaching Plates -Ch.90 Sec.9, Unregistered MV -Ch.90 Sec.34J, Uninsured MV MA Uniform Citation T2080826 is being mailed to his last known address of 105 Oakland St. in Medway. The vehicle registration number on the citation (MA Reg.116 SP2) reflects the plate which was attached to the Audi. This plate is canceled to a 2014 Dodge Charger. The VIN shows the Audi's registration status has been inactive since 10/29/2019.

Mv 1 was traveling westbound on Beacon St when he swerved into the fence of 8 Manitoba Rd. After crashing into the fence, MV 1 pulled over on the right side of Manitoba Rd. The operator of MV 1 was approaching Manitoba Rd when he lost control of his power steering and his breaks did not function correctly. This caused him to strike the fence of 8 Manitoba Rd. MV 1 sustained significant damage to the windshield, left front, and center front. MV 1 was towed by Tody's due to it being disabled. The operator of MV 1 sustained minor injuries to his right hand and was treated for concussion symptoms by Fallon medics. The operator of MV 1 was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital by Fallon medics. The operator of MV 1 was issued citation T 1445545 MGL Ch 89/4a (Marked Lanes violation ) in hand. The fence at 8 Manitoba Rd was damaged significantly, pieces of wood from the damage were across the front lawn of the residence. A black light pole was also struck in the collision. The lawn sustained tire mark damage from the collision as well. Photos of the damage to the fence, lawn, and light pole were taken with the camera in 495 and submitted to IT. I attempted to raise the residents of 8 Manitoba Rd with negative results. A note with the crash number of the incident was left on the front door of 8 Manitoba Rd.

The operator of MV#1 stated he was travelling southbound on Centre St when his brakes failed and could not stop in time, striking MV#2 which pushed MV#2 into MV#3. MV#1 sustained minor damage to its front bumper. There were no reported injuries to the operator of MV#1. The operator of MV#1 did not have his license in his possession. He provided me with his information and an R.M.V query showed that he had a license status of suspended. While on scene I had the operator of MV#1 log on to his R.M.V account, pay off his balance owed and reinstate his driver's license (R.M.V confirmation #0-847-910-848). MV#1 was inspected and the brakes appeared to be in working order. The operator of MV#2 stated she was travelling southbound on Centre St when she was struck from behind by MV#1 which pushed her vehicle into MV#3 in front of her. MV#2 sustained moderate damages to its rear and front bumpers. The operator of MV#2 sustained non-incapacitating injury to her neck and refused medical attention. The operator of MV#3 stated she was travelling southbound on Centre St when she was struck from behind by MV#2. MV#3 sustained minor damage to its rear bumper. There were no reported injuries to the operator of MV#3. As of 05/12/2022, the license status of the operator of MV#1 is still suspended. I will mail MA uniform citation #T2012917 to the operator of MV#1 for violation of c90 s23 operating after suspended license.
