At approximately 1620HRs on Thursday, July, 25, 2019, I was dispatched to 444 Washington St. in reference to a truck vs tree motor vehicle crash. Upon arrival, I noted MV1 (MA Vet: 22098) had partially left the roadway and came to rest when it struck a city tree on the sidewalk. Additionally, I noted MV1 struck MV2 (MA Pass: 5CN826), which was parked on the road in front of the tree/aforementioned address. MV1 sustained damage to its front clip and was leaking fluids. MV2 sustained damage to its right rear bumper/quarter panel area. Upon speaking with the operator of MV1, an employee of Tony's Auto Services, he stated that he was test riding the vehicle after they made repairs to its power steering system. He stated that as he traveled eastbound on Watertown St. at approx 30MPH, the vehicle's brakes failed and he guided MV1 towards the tree in an attempt to stop it without injuring anyone. Todys Services took custody of MV1. Newton Fire cleaned up the leaking fluids and the operator of MV1 signed a patient refusal with Newton Medics. Newton Dispatch notified the city to see if they wished to inspect the tree which was still freestanding and appeared to only suffer minor damage. Tony's Auto Services notified the owner of MV1 and I notified the owner of MV2 of the crash. I submitted a picture of the tree to IT to be attached to this report. I cleared without further incident.

I spoke to the witness (Foreman of the Feeney Brothers Excavation detail) who was servicing a gas service on Ashton Ave. Due to this gas service, that particular section of Ashton Ave was completely closed off at the intersection of Orient Ave and Morton St. There were several road closures and detour signs in the surrounding area prohibiting all vehicle travels. The witness stated he heard the crash and tire screeching, observed MV#2 struck a road closure signage at Orient Ave, continued to travel eastbound onto Ashton Ave striking some of his tools and finally stopping in front of 195 Ashton Ave. The witness stated he approached MV#2 and asked the operator if she was ok and the operator in return asked him what part of Ireland he was from.

The witness estimated MV#2 to be travelling at approximately 20 mph. There were no reported injuries to the witness or his employees.

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.
