On Monday, November 4th, 2019 at approximately 1602 hours I, Officer Newton and Officer Healy responded to a motor vehicle accident at 22 Randlett Park. Upon arrival we spoke to the operator of vehicle 1. He stated the accident occurred on Watertown st. He was stopped at the traffic light on Watertown St at Walnut St when he was rear ended by vehicle 2. He attempted to pull over and speak to the operator of vehicle 2 but vehicle 2 proceeded to keep driving westbound on Watertown St. Vehicle 1 followed vehicle 2 until vehicle 2 drove to his residence at 22 Randlett Pk. When speaking to the operator of vehicle 2 he seemed confused. He could not answer questions regarding the accident until he was asked multiple times. He stated he was driving from Newtonville to his residence. He stated that he did not realize he was involved in an accident so he proceeded to drive to his residence. It should be noted that in our observations of Mr. Usher, it did not appear that he had a chemical impairment at this time, although he displayed confusion, and shaky hands as we spoke to him. Mr. Usher's mother stated that he had been released from a rehab facility recently, and has "not been himself". As a result of my investigation, Mr Usher was issued Citation#T2079939 for a violation of M.G.L.Ch.90/24-Leaving the Scene Property Damage. Based on the totality of the circumstances, an Immediate Threat Request was faxed to the RMV, see Incident number 19047444.

Yellow streaks were visibly seen on the left rear bumper consistent with the damage. The owner of MV 1 further stated that he believed the house across the street, 28 Parsons St is the person that usually plows the driveway. I spoke with Jeffrey Timmins who told me that he in fact did plow the driveway of 27 Parsons St after the storm sometime on Tuesday 12/3/2019. Mr. Timmins admitted to being the operator of MV 2 and stated he did not notice if he hit MV 1 while plowing the driveway but he "could have". I advised both parties with an accident report number. No tows required or reported injuries by either party.

Jesse was not injured from the accident. MV 1 was towed by Todys. A towed motor vehicle sheet was filled out and filed in the proper basket. Ofc Helms and Sgt Fleming followed a fluid trail from Harvard St to Potter St where they located a red mid sized sedan matching the description of the vehicle with heavy front end damage. After MV 1 was towed away, I arrived on Potter St. MV 2 sustained major front end damage. The radiator was still hissing from the fluid leak that had lead officers to the location. The vehicle is registered to Mr. Jordan Greeley of Avon MA. Attempts to locate the operator of MV 2 yielded negative results. Dispatch contacted the Avon Police Department and requested they check for him at his address of 654 West Main St in Avon MA. At approximately 0530 hours, Avon police spoke with Jordan's mother who stated he was not home. Debris from MV 2 was collected at the scene of 821 Washington St and recorded into property and evidence. See incident report number 21014394. This incident will be further investigated.

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 stated he has no injuries as a result of the contact. Mr. Bhol declined my request to have him evaluated by Newton Medics. 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.
