On Wednesday, February 23, 2022, while assigned to Traffic unit N525, I responded to the intersection of Washington Street and Elm Street, Newton with N492 for a report of a minor motor vehicle crash. Washington Street and Elm Street are both public ways maintained by the City of Newton. The weather at the time of the crash was clear and sunny. The road surface at the time of the crash was dry. I spoke with the operator of MV1, Mr. Kumar Bhol (S19441804). Mr. Bhol stated his vehicle (2018 Toyota Rav-4 (MA: 8HH159) was parked unoccupied on Elm Street next to the Village Bank in a metered spot. Mr. Bhol stated when he returned to his vehicle after leaving the gym, he observed another vehicle illegally parked behind his vehicle with it's front bumper very close to the rear of his vehicle. Mr. Bhol stated he observed minor fresh damage to the bumper area of his vehicle at this time. Mr. Bhol stated the owner of MV2 returned to her vehicle at this time and he attempted to exchange information with her. Mr. Bhol stated the owner did not want to exchange information and attempted to leave the area. Mr. Bhol stated he positioned himself in front of her vehicle in the roadway as it was leaving to prevent MV2 from leaving. Mr. Bhol stated at this time MV2 made light contact with his knee.

Mr. Bhol was also advised to not position himself in front of a moving vehicle to try and stop them from leaving the area. I observed very minor damage to the rear bumper area of MV1. It is inconclusive if the damage is fresh from this crash. I did observe obvious old damage to a sensor on the rear bumper of MV2 with black tape over it. I spoke with the operator of MV2, Ms. Jennifer North (S41819258). Ms. North stated she parked her 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee (MA: 2XR747) behind MV1 on Elm Street in what she thought was a legal parking space. Ms. North stated when she returned to her vehicle, the owner of MV1 alleged the damage on his vehicle was caused by her. Ms. North stated she did not make contact with MV1 and attempted to leave the area. Ms. North stated Mr. Bhol would not let her leave so they contacted the Newton Police to assist. A query of Ms. North's license status showed it was expired/non renewable. I advised Ms. North of her license status and stated she could not drive her vehicle away from the area. Ms. North stated she understood and walked to her residence with her two dogs. Ms. North's vehicle was left legally parked in a metered parking spot on Elm Street. I observed no noticeable damage to the front bumper area of MV2. Ms. North report no injuries. As a result of Ms. North's license status she was issued Massachusetts Uniform Citation 306986AB in hand for Chapter 90, Section 10 (Unlicensed Operation) and Newton City Ordinance Chapter 19, Section 75 (Fail to Use Care). It is unclear is the damage to MV1's rear bumper was caused by MV2.
