Narrative:
On 01/31/19 at 08:56 hours, I responded to Dedham and Walnut Streets for a two car motor vehicle accident with no injuries. Operator of M/V 1 states he was stopped for the stop sign facing northbound on Dedham St towards Walnut St. He then proceeded straight through and observed M/V 2 coming at him so he tried to speed up but M/V 2 ended up striking him on the driver's side rear quarter panel area. He did state that M/V 2 did stop for the stop sign after him but did not understand why they were attempting to come through the intersection. The vehicle sustained minor damage to the driver's side rear quarter panel area and had a flat tire. The operator waited for Triple AAA for the flat. Operator of M/V 2 states she was stopped at the stop sign facing eastbound on Dedham St attempting to take a left turn on to Walnut St. Due to the bright sun and glare, she did not observe M/V 1 coming through the intersection and struck him. The vehicle sustained front end damage to the grille and bumper but the vehicle was still driveable. At the time, I did observe the sun to be blinding at the accident location and there was a lot of glare.

On Wednesday, October 7th 2020 while in N526 I responded to 791 Walnut Street the Newton Cemetery Corp for a motor vehicle accident involving a pedestrian. At the time of the accident the weather was sunny and the road surface was dry. The accident occurred inside the cemetery on the public way by the entrance. Upon arrival I spoke with the pedestrian identified as Tova Goldring. Tova stated she was walking in the roadway when she was struck by MV1. Tova stated MV1 was turning left onto the road that leads to the exit and when she realized the operator was not stopping she put out both her hands and made contact with the hood of MV1. Tova stated the impact caused her to fall to the ground and roll into a grassy area next to the road. Tova had minor scrapes from the accident and signed a patient refusal. The operator of MV1 identified as Antonio Domenico Ricci was on scene and his primary language was Italian. I was able to contact his daughter, Daniela Boccia who arrived on scene and translated Antonio's statements. Antonio stated he was turning left onto the main road that leads to the exit of the cemetery and had his left signal activated. Antonio states the sun was glaring into his eyes and made it hard for him to see. Antonio stated he took the left turn and never saw the pedestrian. Antonio states he heard a thud on his hood and stopped the vehicle and that is when he realized he had struck a pedestrian. Antonio was not injured and there was no damage to his vehicle. Pictures of the scene and Tova's injuries were taken by Officer Wilson and submitted to the IT Bureau. Daniela took possession of MV1 and drove Antonio to his residence.

Both Tremont St and Waverly Ave are public ways in the City of Newton. Qualter stated that she was driving into solar glare and did not see any traffic in the intersection as she proceeded into it. Qualter stated that she believed that she still had the right of way and that traffic on Tremont St had a red light. Qualter stated that she did not see vehicle two until the time of impact . Qualter stated that she was not injured in the crash. Qualter's vehicle had major damage to the front driver's side windshield and front driver's side quarter panel. Operator of vehicle two Keith Ward stated that he was riding his Itraxx Cruze motor scooter west bound on Tremont St near Waverley Ave on 11/05/2020 at 10:28 hours. Ward stated that west bound traffic had a green light and he proceeded into the intersection. Ward stated that as he was approximately halfway into the intersection when vehicle one crashed into the right front of his vehicle. Ward stated that he was ejected from his motorcycle and onto the hood of vehicle one. Ward was wearing a helmet and his head had contact with vehicle one's driver side windshield causing substantial damage. Ward was evaluated by Newton Medic Unit 3 and refused medical treatment. Ward signed a patient refusal form provided by the medics. Ward had visible head lacerations that caused minor blood loss. Witness Jose David stated that he was riding on a motor scooter behind Ward. David stated that west bond traffic on Tremont St had a green light and that vehicle one did not stop at a red light. Based upon statements made to me and my observations of the involved vehicles, I issued Qualter MA Citation T2016100 and cited her for a violation of MGL 89/9 , failure to stop at a red light. I took photos of both vehicles and the disk was downloaded by the NPD's IT Bureau. Both vehicles were towed by Tody's Towing, and I filled out towed motor vehicle forms. During my investigation of this crash I discovered that the motor scooter that Ward was operating is classified as a motorcycle, because it's cylinder capacity exceeded 50cc. Ward's vehicle speedometer indicted that it's top speed was 50 MPH, and it's VIN tag stated it was a motorcycle. I observed that there was no license plate on Ward's vehicle and he stated to me that it was unregistered. A check of the MA RMV had no record of Ward's vehicle and also revealed that Ward's driver's license was suspended on 12/04/2018. It was also revealed from a of the MA RMV data base that witness Jose David's driver's license statue is expired non renewable as of 01/23/2017. David stated to me that he did not have a driver's license. I also discovered that David's motor scooter was classified as a motorcycle, because as with Ward's vehicle it also had a cylinder capacity exceeding 50cc. David stated to me that his vehicle was unregistered. I issued David MA Criminal Application T2015901 and cited him for violations of MGLs 90/10, operation of a motor vehicle with out a license, 90/34j uninsured motor vehicle and 90/9 , unregistered motor vehicle. I issued Ward MA Criminal Application T2015902 and cited him for violations of MGLs 90/23 , operating a motor vehicle after suspension, 90/34j, uninsured motor vehicle and 90/9 unregistered motor vehicle. I filled out an Operating After Suspension Affidavit and faxed it to the MA RMV Driver Control Unit.

Narrative:
Operator of vehicle one Ziting Liu stated on 05/14/2021 at approximately 17:38 hours she was driving west bound on Commonwealth Ave in her vehicle a 2015 Honda CRV ( MA reg 497yy1 ). Liu stated that she was driving into the setting sun and was wearing sunglasses at the time. Liu stated that as she approached the four way intersection with Chestnut St she observed that west and east bound traffic on Commonwealth Ave had a green light and that north and south bound traffic on Chestnut St had a red light. Liu slowed her vehicle to turn left onto the south bound lane of Chestnut St. It should be noted that both Commonwealth Ave and Chestnut St are both public ways in the City of Newton. Liu stated that she did not observed any " cars " driving east bound on Commonwealth Ave so she proceed to make the left turn onto Chestnut St. Liu stated that she realized that her vehicle has struck an unknown object as she was turning left. Liu stopped her vehicle and saw that her vehicle had struck a female bicyclist. Liu stated that the bicyclist was thrown from their bike and was on the ground. Liu stated that she was not injured as a result of the crash. Liu's vehicle had damage to the front passenger side hood . The front passenger side of Liu's windshield had an inward crack that was approximately 12 inches in length and 12 inches in width. The type of inward crack on the windshield is indicative of an outside force making contact with it. Liu's vehicle was towed by Tody's Services to their lot for storage. I filled out a towed motor vehicle form. Bicyclist Isabella Turinovic stated that she was ridding her bike , east bound on commonwealth Ave near Chestnut St. Turinovic stated that east bound traffic had a green light. Turinovic stated that as she was crossing over Chestnut St Liu's vehicle struck her causing her to hit the windshield. Turinovic was tossed from her bike and onto the roadway. Turinovic was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash. Turinovic stated that she did not lose consciousness and she was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital via EMS from treatment . Turinovic agreed to have her bike taken by NFD Ladder One to be stored at NFD station Two. I took photo's of Liu's vehicle, Turinovic's bike and the disk was downloaded by the NPD IT Bureau. Witnees Alexander Delima stated that he was the first vehicle stopped a red light on Chestnut St in the south bound lane. Delima stated that Liu's vehicle did not yield to Turinovic as she turned left onto the south bound lane of Chestnut St from the west bound lane of Commonwealth Ave .A second witness Lindsay Bentis stated that she was the second vehicle stopped a the red light in the south bound lane of Chestnut St behind Delima. Bentis stated that she also saw Liu fail to yield to Turinovic as she turned onto Chestnut St. Based upon statements made to be by all involved parties, I concluded that Liu is at fault for this crash. I issued via U.S. Mail, Liu MA Uniform Citation T1446670 and cited her for a violation of MGL 90/14, failure to yield to oncoming bicyclist when turning left.

The right front tire of vehicle 2 was also flat. Both operators stated they were not injured and declined medical attention. Both operators also called AAA who came and towed the vehicles. A witness, Simon Welsby, left his phone number with operator 2 and I gave him a call from Newton Police Headquarters.

On arrival I spoke to the pedestrian involved, Jinny Lin who stated he was walking northbound on Lowell Ave and was crossing Highland Ave in the marked crosswalk when he was struck by vehicle 1. Lin stated he was more than halfway across the street when he was struck. Lin said he was only bumped by the vehicle and was never knocked over. Lin had already notified his mother, Tina Chan who arrived on scene shortly after. Lin was seen by Fallon medics and signed a patient refusal. I than spoke to the operator of vehicle, Ali Roozbehani1 who stated he was traveling southbound on Lowell Ave and saw that it was blocked off and detoured down Highland Ave due to road construction. Roozbehani said he was slightly blinded due to solar glare as he made a left turn onto Highland Ave and as he did so struck a pedestrian. Roozbehani had no damage to his vehicle and was uninjured. I took several digital images of the scene and submitted them to IT to be attached to this report. Roozbehani was issued MA Uniform Citation #T2016735 for 89/11 pedestrian in a crosswalk.
