Narrative:
On Thursday, August 8, 2019, while assigned to Traffic unit N525, I responded to the area of Centre Street and Mt. Ida Street for a report of a 3 car motor vehicle crash with entrapment. The weather at the time of the crash was clear and sunny. The road surface was dry. Centre Street and Mt. Ida Street are both public ways maintained by the City of Newton. On arrival, I was updated by Sgt. Chisholm that one of the vehicles (MV3) had a female operator that was entrapped as a result of the collision. She was freed from the vehicle by the Newton Fire Department and transported to Beth Israel Hospital. Another operator (MV2) was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital with minor injuries. A third operator (MV1) remained on scene with no injuries. With the assistance of Officer Wade we conducted a survey of the crash scene. We observed a large debris field at the intersection of Centre Street and Mt. Ida Street with debris from all three vehicles. The point of impact was observed to be on Centre Street (N) before Mt. Ida Street. There were fresh scrapes in the pavement as a result of the colission. We also observed skid marks from MV1 measuring 57 feet 8 inches from the start of it's skid to the vehicles final rest MV1 crashed into the rear of MV2. The impact caused MV2 to enter the Southbound travel lane of Centre Street and crash into MV3 as it was passing by. The impact from MV2's front end crashing into MV3's driver side resulted in the operator of MV3 becoming entrapped. MV2 and MV3 came to final rest on Wesley Street (W) at Centre Street (S). The driver door of MV3 was inaccessible. The collsion resulted in air bag deployment for MV2 and MV3. I observed moderate damage to MV1's front grill/bumper area. I observed substantial damage to the front and rear of MV2 and substantial damage to the front and driver side of MV3. Tody's responded and removed MV2 and MV3 from the roadway. Photos were taken of the scene and submitted to the IT Bureau. Officer Martin of the Watertown Police Department was requested by Sgt. Lee to respond to the scene and assist with a commercial truck inspection of MV1. Officer Martin contacted Trooper Grey of the Massachusetts State Police Truck Team who also responded to assist with the truck inspection. Sgt. Lee remained with Officer Martin and Trooper Grey during the inspection. MV1 was relocated to Richardson Street for the inspection. Trooper Grey determined the truck was in compliance with all required paperwork and it passed it's mechanical inspection. MV1 was removed from the roadway by a state tow. I spoke with the operator of MV1, William Tisbert (S24792655). Tisbert stated he was operating a 2006 KW W900 Semi Truck (NH SEMI: AP2638) Northbound on Centre Street. Tisbert stated as he was approaching Mt. Ida Street, a vehicle came out of no where and he hit it. Tisbert stated there was no one in front of him and then a vehicle came off of a side street (Mt. Ida Street) and attempted to turn left in front of him to return to the side street. Tisbert stated he could not avoid hitting the vehicle. Tisbert crashed into the rear of MV2. MV2 then crossed into the opposite lane and crashed into another vehicle. Tisbert remained on scene and reported no injuries. Tisbert stated he was wearing his seatbelt at the time of the accident and was not distracted. Tisbert later admitted to crashing into the rear of MV2. I spoke with the operator of MV2, Janet Vanbuskirk (S59829146), at Newton Wellesley Hospital. Vanbuskirk stated while operating her 2004 Toyota Highlander (MA: RS 529Y), she was stopped on Centre Street (N) at Mt. Ida Street. Vanbuskirk had her left directional on and was waiting for traffic in the Southbound lane to clear to take a left turn onto Mt. Ida Street. Vanbuskirk stated MV1 crashed into the rear of her vehicle. As a result of the impact, Vanbuskirk's vehicle traveled into the opposite lane and crashed into the driver side of MV3. Vanbuskirk reported minor injuries to her neck, left arm, and right hand. I spoke with the operator of MV3, Madeleine Karolian (S23979811), at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston. Karolian stated she was operating her 2016 Toyota Prius (MA: EV5746) Southbound on Centre Street. Karolian stated MV1 crashed into MV2, and MV2 crashed into her vehicle. Karolian stated she did not have time to avoid the collision. Karolian stated she had minor injuries to her neck and chest. Karolian's vehicle had a dash cam recording at the time of the accident. I viewed the footage with her through an app on a cell phone. The footage shows MV3 traveling Southbound on Centre Street on August 8, 2019 at 1308 hours. Ahead of MV3 in the Northbound lane, MV2 is seen stopped on Centre Street before Mt. Ida Street with it's left directional activated. I observed MV1 travel Northbound on Centre Street and crash into the rear of MV2. The impact caused MV2 to enter the Southbound travel lane and crashed into the driver side of MV3. The footage then ends. A copy of the footage was emailed to my work email. The footage was then forwarded to IT Director Steve Smith to be added to the media for this report. As a result of my investigation, the operator of MV1, William Tisbert, will be cited for Newton City Ordinance Chapter 19, Section 71 (Following too closely). Massachusetts Uniform Citation T1270942 was completed and mailed to Tisbert's residence.

The operator of vehicle #2 was still on scene and confirmed the events that operator #1 spoke of. Operator #2 stated she did not see vehicle #1 as she was pulling out due to heavy traffic flow and parked cars. Vehicle #2 did not make contact with any other car or structure.

Narrative:
On Friday, September 18th, 2020 at approximately 1619 hours I, Officer Newton, was dispatched to Brookline St and Spaulding Ln(both are public ways in the City of Newton) for a report of a vehicle that crossed over Brookline St and struck a tree and drove off with major front end damage. The RP was able to give a description of the vehicle as a White Audi with the license plate beginning with 8X. The RP also stated the vehicle was going down Dedham St and possibly turned down Marvin Ln. Sgt M. Wade located the vehicle, White Audi MA Reg 8XVP10, with major front end damage, parked outside of 45 Indian Ridge Rd and made contact with the operator, John Bigda. It should be noted that the house is 2 houses from Marvin Ln. Upon arrival I spoke to John. John stated he was driving his vehicle and got into an accident but it was not a big deal because he was able to drive home. John was not able to explain the details of his crash and was very evasive as to exactly what happened, just that he got into an accident because somebody cut him off. John continued to tell me multiple times nothing bad happened and everything was fine. John was very unsteady on his feet and was stumbling around and almost fell several times while I was trying to speak with him. John also had slurred speech and a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from his person that I was able to smell even though I was wearing a mask. At this time I asked John to take field sobriety tests to which he refused by saying "I'm not taking the test." The Medics arrived on scene to evaluate John. John was not able to answer their questions and the medics decided he should go to the hospital for an evaluation. However, John refused to go to the hospital. NFD arrived on scene and stated they saw tire marks and debris at the location of the crash. Ofc. Guarino went to that location to take pictures that will be added to this report. Due to the above facts and because John was almost falling over while speaking with us, he was placed under arrest for Operating Under the Influence of Liquor. John was handcuffed (D/L) and searched prior to being placed in cruiser 499. Cruiser 499 was searched before and after transport for contraband with negative results. John was booked and read his Miranda rights by Sgt M. Wade and Ofc Donovan processed him. John was handed citation T2014721 for 89/4/A Marked Lanes Violation (Driving over the double yellow line and leaving the roadway to strike the tree on Brookline St), 90/24/C Leaving the Scene of Property Damage (Hitting a city tree and causing damage), and 90/24/K (Operating Under the Influence of Liquor, 2nd Offense.. 1st offense was 11/18/2004 OUI docket 0443CR2527A CWOF ). The citation was placed with John's property. The vehicle was towed by Todys.

It is a 2019 Ford Expedition (MF455). The vehicle was responding to a Fire Alarm Activation call with emergency lights and siren activate at the time of the crash. The occupants of the vehicle were taken to Newton Wellesley Hospital for evaluation. I observed front end and driver side damage to MV2. There was air bag deployment inside the vehicle, on both the front driver and passenger side. Tody's Towing removed MV2 from the roadway. Photos were taken of the crash scene and submitted to the IT Bureau. I responded to Newton Wellesley Hospital and spoke with Newton Firefighter John Morris (Driver) and Deputy Chief Michael Mcnamara (passenger) in the emergency room. Both parties stated they were responding to a call with emergency lights and siren activated. FF Morris stated as he approached the intersection of Commonwealth Avenue (W) and Temple Street, he observed a black SUV exiting Temple Street onto Commonwealth Avenue. FF Morris stated as they were passing he believed MV1 tried to speed up to cross Commonwealth Avenue. MV2 then crashed into MV1. As a result of the crash, FF Morris suffered right hand/wrist injury. Both FF Morris and Deputy Chief Mcnamara stated they had slight respiratory issues from breathing in the powder from the air bag deployment. MV1 failed to yield to MV2's right of way as he attempted to cross Commonwealth Avenue from Temple Street. The operator of MV1, Mr. Jacob Forbes will be mailed Massachusetts Uniform Citation 071113AB for Chapter 89, Section 8 (Fail to Yield at Intersection).

Narrative:
At approximately 1640HRs on Thursday, August 12, 2021, I came across a motor vehicle crash at The intersection of Grant ave. and Commonwealth Ave.'s Carriage Lane. MV 1 (MA Pass: 882WWK) was facing SB on Grant ave., in the intersection. I observed it to have extensive front end damage (bumper, hood, driver's side head light and a pushed in radiator core support) and it was leaking fluids. MV 2 (MA Pass:8RS517) was facing WB in the Carriage Lane and displayed damage to its front passenger's side ( hood, head light, bumper and fender). Upon speaking to the operator of MV1, they stated that they were traveling straight (SB) on Grant Ave. and had a green traffic light. As they approached the intersection, MV 2 made a left hand turn and struck MV 1. Upon speaking to the operator of MV 2, they stated they were traveling on Grant Ave. (NB) and attempted to make a left hand turn onto the Carriage Lane (WB). It was at this time they struck MV1 because they did not see them. Upon speaking to witness 1, they stated they were traveling behind MV1 and that the traffic light was indeed green. They then observed MV 2 traveling at a high rate of speed, as if they were attempting to "cut off" MV1. When MV 2 attempted to make a left hand turn, they impacted into MV1. All parties involved stated that they were not injured and did not wish to been seen by EMS. Newton Fire arrived on scene and cleaned up the fluids. MV1 was removed by Todys service and MV2 was able to drive away under its own power. I gave the operator of MV 1 a ride to NPD HQ to await their ride and then cleared.

Upon arrival, vehicle 1 was parked on Chestnut St, just past the intersection at Pine Ridge Rd facing Southbound. The operator of vehicle 1 was accompanied by a juvenile passenger who was in the back seat. Vehicle 2 was rolled over onto the drivers side of the vehicle at the corner of Chestnut St and Pine Ridge Rd. There were yaw marks located in the southbound lane of Chestnut St that trailed behind vehicle 2. Inside vehicle 2, the operator was trapped inside and was not able to get out. There was heavy front end damage to vehicle 1 and heavy damage to the passenger side of vehicle 2 which was the point of impact. Both vehicles had airbag deployment. Operator 1 stated she was experiencing neck pain and the passenger stated she did not have any injuries. Operator 2 was bleeding from the hand and stated she was experiencing pain in her sternum, prior to being extricated by Newton Fire Department. Operator 1 was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital and Operator 2 was transported to Brigham and Women's Hospital by Fallon EMS. I spoke to a witness, Agnes Gee, who stated she was traveling Northbound on Chestnut St and she stopped to let vehicle 2 cross the intersection from Pine Ridge Rd. She stated vehicle 1 was traveling Southbound on Chestnut St before the crash occurred. Operator 1 stated that she did not remember anything that happened prior to the crash or which direction she was traveling. She stated she is not familiar with the area and was traveling from her job in Brighton to her home in Swansea, MA.

Narrative:
On Tuesday, June 28, 2022, while assigned to unit N496, I responded to the area of Langley Road and Hamlet Street, Newton for a report of a roll over crash with 3 injured parties. The weather at the time of this crash was clear and sunny. The road surface in the area of the crash was dry. Langley Road and Hamlet Street are both public ways maintained by the City of Newton. I approached the area of the crash coming from Boylston Street and when I arrived my attention was drawn to two locations on Langley Road. I observed a female party laying prone on the sidewalk area of Langley Road (E) at the Hamlet Street intersection. This female party, later identified as Ms. Melinda Conroy, was being attended to by passerby's in the area. My attention was then drawn to an overturned vehicle resting half in the roadway/half on the sidewalk (W) in front of 323 Langley Road. As I began to run over to the vehicle, I observed a woman standing next to the vehicle screaming frantically. This party identified herself as the driver of the lone vehicle involved, Ms. Natalya Kabanovsky (S65512051). There were parties at the back of the vehicle yelling to me that there was a woman trapped under the vehicle and that they were holding the vehicle up to get her out. I ran over to the rear of the vehicle and observed a female party, later identified as Ms. Annette Sooper, lying underneath the vehicle in the roadway. There was a large pool of blood on the roadway as the result of a laceration to what appeared to be her head/face area. Due to the unknown stability of the vehicle resting on its roof, and due to the passerby's stating they were holding the vehicle up so it did not roll over onto Ms. Sooper, I reached under the vehicle from the rear, grabbed Ms. Sooper's person, and dragged her away from the vehicle to a safe location on the sidewalk. At this time, I observed a large laceration to Ms. Sooper's head and she stated she had suffered a leg injury. Newton Fire and Medics along with additional Police units arrived on scene and took over rendering aid to the victims. I then started to conduct my investigation into the crash. I spoke with the operator of the vehicle, Ms. Kabanovsky. Ms. Kabanovsky stated she was operating her 2005 Lexus ES330 (MA: 293TAB) on Hamlet Street (W) towards Langley Road. Ms. Kabanovsky stated as she approached the intersection, a female party (Ms. Conroy) ahead of her was running across Langley Road (S) at Hamlet Street. Ms. Kabanovsky stated she attempted to hit her brakes, but instead hit her gas pedal. Ms. Kabanovsky's vehicle crashed into Ms. Conroy and then she panicked. Ms. Kabanovsky stated her car then accelerated across the street and crashed. Ms. Kabanovsky stated she was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash and extricated herself from her vehicle after it rolled over onto its roof. I requested Ms. Kabonovsky's license while speaking to her, but she was too upset to located it. I queried Ms. Kabanovsky's license and registration status through Newton Dispatch. Ms. Kabanovsky's license stated is expired as of 12/18/2016. Ms. Kabanovsky registration is active. I observed substantial damage to the entire front end, driver, and passenger side of Ms. Kabanovsky vehicle. Ms. Kabanovsky was evaluated by Newton Medics and complained of right arm pain. Ms. Kabanovsky was also visibly distraught and expressed concern over the two pedestrians involved in the crash. Ms. Kabanovsky was transported to Brigham and Women's Hospital for treatment. I briefly spoke with Ms. Melinda Conroy as she was being attended to by Newton Medics and Fire. Ms. Conroy stated she was running on Langley Road (S) and observed MV1 traveling on Hamlet Street (W) towards Langley Road. Ms. Conroy stated she believed MV1 was slowing down and coming to a stop. Ms. Conroy stated she waved at the vehicle and as she crossed the intersection, MV1 accelerated and crashed into her left side. Ms. Conroy stated she flipped over the vehicle and landed on the roadway. Ms. Conroy was conscious and alert when speaking to Newton Medics and was transported to Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital in Boston. I later spoke with Ms. Conroy after her release from the hospital. Ms. Conroy stated she suffered some bumps and bruises had no major injuries. Officer Pohlman spoke with Ms. Sooper prior to her transport to Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital in Boston by Newton Medics. Ms. Sooper stated she was walking on the sidewalk in front of 323 Langley Road after returning from Newton Centre. Ms. Sooper stated as she was walking, she observed MV1 hit Ms. Conroy and then travel across the street in front of her into a tree. Ms. Sooper stated she does not remember what happened after that. I spoke with Ms. Sooper's son at NPD HQ and was advised Ms. Sooper was admitted to the hospital and suffered a fracture of her left hip and required 6 staples to close a laceration on her head. Tody's Towing responded to the scene and removed MV1 from the roadway. Traffic Officer Wilson took pictures of the scene and submitted them to the IT Bureau. After speaking with all parties involved, Ms. Kabanovsky will be cited with Massachusetts Uniform Citation 494688AB in hand at her residence for Chapter 90, Section 10 (Unlicensed Operation), Chapter 90, Section 24 (Operate To Endanger), and Newton City Ordinance Chapter 19, Section 75 (Fail To Use Care). Ms Kabanovsky was also cited with Massachusetts Uniform Citation 494800AB in hand at her residence for Chapter 90, Section 13A (Fail To Wear A Seat Belt). A Request for Immediate Threat License Suspension/Revocation was completed and submitted to the Registry of Motor Vehicles with supporting documentation via e-mail, DCUImmediateThreat@massmail.state.ma.us.
