On Saturday January 5th 2019 at 18:01, I was dispatched to Crafts St at Waltham St for a report of a 2 car accident. Operator of MV1 stated he was driving southbound on Waltham Street and approached the intersection as the traffic control changed to red. He slowed down and came to a complete stop. Approximately 4-6 seconds later, he was rear ended by MV2. MV1 sustained minor damage to the rear passenger side. MV1 had three other occupants in the vehicle at the time of the accident. The two passengers in the back seat complained of back pain and were evaluated by Cataldo Paramedic Basic 3 and both signed patient refusals. The operator of MV2 stated as he approached the intersection he "was sleeping." When I asked him to elaborate further he was unable to provide me any answers. He was evaluated by PB3 and transported to NWH. He was issued citation # T1441363 for Operating Under the Influence of Alcohol (2nd Offense) and Negligent Operation of a Motor Vehicle. See Report #19000596 for further details. MV2 was towed by Todys Towing due to the operator being transported to the hospital and the passenger stating he was too intoxicated to drive. A towed motor vehicle form was filled out.

On Sunday May 19th 2019 at 03:32, I responded to a single car accident at the intersection of Washington Street and Park Street. Operator of MV1 stated she was alone in the car and was coming from the Newton Corner rotary attempting to turn onto Park Street. She stated that she misjudged the right turn and went up onto the first median knocking down a crosswalk signal pole and the pole with the traffic signal and Park Street sign. She then went up onto the second median taking down another crosswalk pole and a street sign pole. Operator of MV1 stated she was fatigued and was not paying attention when the accident occurred. She was evaluated by Cataldo Medic 1 and signed a patient refusal. David Donahue of Todys Towing removed the vehicle from the accident scene. Large debris and the poles were placed onto the median and out of traffic. 494 and myself placed cones over each of the bases of the poles. Dagle and the City of Newton were notified about the damage and for the debris to be picked up in the morning. A total of 12 pictures of the damage was taken and turned into IT.

MV1 operator states he was driving Southbound on Parker St when he believes he may have nodded off. This resulted in his vehicle hitting two light poles and causing damage to a residential fence. Damage to the vehicle was observed all in the front. No injuries were reported by MV1 operator. A medical refusal was signed. Tody's was notified and took possession of the vehicle after arriving. A call went out to Eversource and Verizion to notify about the damage done to the two poles. Eversource employee responded and stated the poles were not in any risk of falling over. Verizon was left a message incuding the two pole numbers. The home owner of 84 Ridge Ave where the fence was partially damaged was left a message to call the NPD. Samuel Nurko was issued a citation(T1442789) for 89/4a(marked lanes violation). I then cleared without further incident.
