Finamore believes that Vehicle 2 had a paper temporary plate, unknown registration number or state of registration. Finamore described the operator of Vehicle 2 as a young white male in his 20's. On 08/03/2020 I was able to view photo's of Vehicle 2 taken by witness Deb Finamore. The photo's revealed Vehicle 2's rear registration plate as 333991T. An NCIC check revealed that this registration belongs to a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado color white out of Maryland. The Maryland RMV also lists the vehicle registration as stolen. No further information was provided by the Maryland RMV. In the photo's Vehicle 2 also appears to be a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado color white. At this time I am unable to identify the operator of Vehicle 2. I called and notified the owner of Vehicle 1 Borris Partensky of my findings. Partensky will be providing this information to his insurance company.

At approximately 1758HRs on Wednesday, June 08, 2022, I responded to the area of Glenn Ave. and Beacon St., for the report of a motor vehicle crash with injuries. Upon speaking with the operator of MV1, they stated they were driving westbound on Beacon St., when they slowed down and signaled their intent to turn left (southbound) onto Glenn Ave. It was at this time, they were struck in the rear by MV2. Upon speaking with the operator of MV2, they stated that while they drove westbound on Beacon St., the operator of MV1 stopped short while signaling a left hand turn. They then struck MV1 in the rear, as they did not have time to stop. MV3 then struck them in the rear. Upon speaking to the operator of MV3, they stated were traveling westbound on Beacon St. and that everything happened so fast, that they were not sure what happened, but that they drove into the rear of MV2. I noted damage to the right rear bumper cover of MV1 (MA Pass:4NAZ81) and that due to the force of being struck, their spare tire from underneath the vehicle became dislodged; an NFD firefighter placed it in their trunk. I noted extensive damage to the front and rear of MV2 (CT Pass:275RNP) and that it was leaking fluids, which NFD cleaned from the roadway. MV2's front bumper cover, grill, headlights, fenders and hood were damaged. MV2's rear bumper cover/foam was completely dislodged, its muffler was dragging and its trunk, quarter panels and tail lights were damaged. I noted damage to the grill, headlights and steel bumper of MV3 (MA Con: S15127). The operator of MV2 was transported to the hospital with injuries to their face, neck and left knee and MV2 was removed from the roadway by Tody's Services; their airbag did not deploy.
