I contacted the operator of MV2, who said that he was turning left on Cabot St and the operator of MV2 started to turn before he was done. He saw the operator of MV1 hit a wire of the vehicle's trailer, but did not believe that there was any damage done and thought that MV1 drove away.The operator of MV2 was compliant in the investigation and did not believe he left the scene of an accident.

Oper of MV1 stated he was trying to turn right from Bridge Street on Watertown Street. The back of his flatbed tow truck caught the rear of MV2, which was parked. I was unable to locate owner of Veh2, no phone number listed and no one was home at his house. A note was left at his residencen telling him accident report was filed and giving him report number. No tows.

The operator of MV#1 stated that she was sitting in her parked MV in front of #160 Stanton Ave when MV#2 side swiped her MV. The operator of MV#2 stated that she was traveling south on Stanton Ave and attempting to park her MV when she side swiped MV#1. Operator #2 was questioning whether MV#1 had prior damage to the area of the MV were the crash occurred. Operator #1 stated that its a new rental that had no prior damage. No injuries, no tows.

Operator of MV1 states she was driving westbound on Lincoln St. She states MV2 pulled out suddenly from a parking stall on the right side and crossed in front of her vehicle. She states she did not have time to avoid MV2, and the front of her vehicle collided with the side of MV2. Operator of MV2 states he was parked in the parking stalls, westbound on Lincoln St. He stated he did not see MV1, and pulled out in order to do a U-turn (which is prohibited in this area). When he pulled out, he collided with MV1. Witness stated she did not observe the crash as it happened but it appeared that MV2 was perpendicular to the roadway as if he was attempting a U-turn. No injuries were reported and no tows were needed.

MV1 operator states she was driving in the left lane going eastbound on Centre St heading towards Charles Banks Rd when MV2 hit her car on the right side. MV1 operator reported general pain and shock from accident. Medics responded and a refusal was signed. MV2 operator states he was driving eastbound on Centre St when he missed his left turn to go over the bridge heading towards Watertown. He then attempted to make an illegal left turn at the next set of lights but did not see MV1 in left lane. MV2 then hit MV1. Damage was observed on front left of MV2. I then cleared without further incident.

At approximately 1825HRs on Tuesday, September 17, 2019, I was dispatched to the intersection of Washington St. at Court St. for a report of a two car crash with minor injuries. Upon arrival, I spoke with the operator of motor vehicle 1 (MA Passenger: 64G720), who stated through a third party interpreter, that he was driving "on the big road (Washington St. Westbound) and was hit." The operator of motor vehicle 2 (MA Passenger:8WH577), stated that she was traveling southbound on Court St. and stopped at the stop sign with the intent to make a left hand turn onto Washington St. (eastbound). At this time, she observed motor vehicle 1 traveling towards her with its right hand turn signal activated to take a right hand turn on Court St. (northbound). Motor vehicle 1 began to execute said turn, but as it was partially on Court St., changed directions and began to again attempt to travel westbound on Washington St., striking motor vehicle 2 as it was at the stop sign. Motor vehicle 1 sustained damage to its front right bumper area. Motor vehicle 2 sustained damage to its front left side bumper area. The operator of motor vehicle 1 was uninjured. The operator of motor vehicle 2 is pregnant and signed a patient refusal after speaking with Newton Medics. Both vehicles left the scene under their own power and I cleared without incident.

On November 20th, 2019 at 17:27 hours, a two vehicle motor vehicle accident took place at the intersection of Vine St and Lagrange St. There were no injuries. Vehicle 1 was being operated by registered owner Misha Brainin (Mass Reg #9BJ848, 2018 Jeep SUV Color Gray, Safeco Insurance). Vehicle # 2 was being operated by Christopher Moses (Mass Reg # 1YGT60, Niss Altima Color Red, USAA Casualty Insurance). Misha stated he had come to a complete stop at the stop sign on Vine St. Misha took a left hand turn from Vine St on to Lagrange St. Christopher stated he was on Lagrange St waiting to take a left hand turn from Lagrange St on to Vine St. Both parties took a left hand turn at the same time and the vehicles collided. There was minor damage to Misha's vehicle in the front left side. There was major damage to Christopher's vehicle in the left rear side. Tody's towed Christopher's vehicle. Both vehicles are insured.

MV1 was operating southbound on Parker St (public way) and the operator stated he had the green light. MV2 was operating northbound on Parker St, and the operator also said she had the green light. MV2 attempted to take a left hand turn onto the Boylston St overpass westbound, but struck MV1 in a head on crash. Both vehicles had front and side airbags deployed. Passenger of MV1 said they had minor injuries and was transported to Newton-Wellesley Hospital. MV1 operator did not report injuries. MV2 operator and passenger did not report injuries at this time. Both MVs sustained heavy front end damage and both were transported by Tody's. MV2 operator was issued MA Uniform citation # T2013392 for Ch.89 s8, failure to yield for approaching MV.

On Friday December 27th, 2019, at approximately 1348hrs, while assigned to N508 to assist with a funeral escort, I was notified by Dispatch that "MC1" was involved in a crash at the Whole Foods parking lot on Washington Street. Upon arrival I found that Newton Police Motorcycle #1 was involved in a crash while helping to assist a funeral that had just left the Our Lady Church property. Police MC #1 is MA MMC7219, a 2016 Harley Davidson motorcycle. The motorcycle was operated by Officer Rocco Marini. MV #2 was also located on scene and parked in the Whole Food parking lot. This vehicle is MA Reg. 7VN155 a 2017 Lexus ES350. This vehicle was operated by Diana Simkin. Officer Marini reported that he was traveling westbound on Washington Street when he was hit by MV #2 that was making a left (opposite direction) into the Whole Foods parking lot. Officer Marini was in the right hand lane escorting the long line of cars that was part of a funeral procession. These vehicles were in left westbound lane. Officer Marini reported he was in the right hand lane and had his emergency lights on when the collision occurred. Officer Marini did not see MV #2 prior to collision. Officer Marini reported that the front of his motorcycle hit the rear passenger side tire of MV #2. Officer Marini was taken from the scene by Ambulance to Newton Wellesley Hospital. I spoke to the operator of MV #2 Diana Simkin. Simkin reported she was traveling east on Washington Street and wanted to make a left into Whole Foods parking lot when the crash occurred. Simkin reported she was waved into the lot by an unknown motor vehicle headed in the opposite direction. Simkin was not sure which lane this person waved from. Simkin made the left into the lot and was not aware of the crash or did she see MC 1 until she was stuck in traffic in the parking lot and some woman knocked on her window. Simkin reported that she never saw an police emergency flashing lights either. There was minimal damage to Simkin's vehicle. There was scuff marks on the passenger rear tire. Simkin also did not report any injuries. MC #1 sustained some front damage to the wheel fender fairing. The motorcycle was taken from the scene by Tody's. Pictures were taken on scene by Officer McSweeney and given to IT for downloading purposes. While on scene Officer McSweeney and myself went to New England Diamond and Jewelry at 660 Washington Street. We met the owners Dave and Robert Alpert (617-243-0099) who reported that they have video of the collision. In the video I observed at 1346hrs the funeral begin to pass the Whole Foods entrance. At 1348hrs the video shows MV #2 come up in the easttbound lane and stop. The vehicle stops and waits until an unknown white SUV stops to allow MV #2 to make a left turn into the lot. Once this unknown SUV stops, the video shows that MV #2 makes the left and hits MC #1 as he is traveling straight ahead with his emergency lights on. It appears from the video that MC #1 had no warning and could not brake his motorcycle. The video shows a long line of cars in this funeral procession with their emergency flashing lights on. Due to the angle of the video and vehicles I am unable to tell if this SUV had their flashing lights on. The video was sent to Director Smith in IT for downloading purposes. I went to Newton Wellesley Hospital and spoke with Officer Marini. He was reporting soreness to his left elbow. Officer Marini was released from the Hospital and taken back to the station at about 1500hrs. Based on the facts of the investigation, I have issued MA Uniform Citation T0340444 to Diana Simkin for violating 89/8: failure to yield the right of way and for violating 89/7A: interference with an emergency vehicle. Simkin was notified of this citation via telephone at 1730hrs on this day and this citation was mailed to her address. Washington Street is a public way in the City of Newton.

OPERATOR OF MV 1 WAS ON FRANKLIN ST, STOPPED AT THE STOP SIGN LOCATED AT THE INTERSECTION OF WAVERLY AVE WHEN MV WAS TURNING LEFT ONTO FRANKLIN ST FROM WAVERLY AVE.

MV1 was side swiped on the passenger side of the vehicle. Operator of MV1 stated MV2 did not stop and continued on Washington Street. Operator of MV1 had damage to the passenger side of the vehicle. Traffic Bureau update (Officer Gaudet): On Thursday, February 27, 2020, I made contact with the registered owner of MV2, CRM Property Management Corp. A representative there stated they would find out who was driving the vehicle and have them contact me. On Friday, February 28, 2020, I spoke with the operator of MV2, Peter Ben-Simon (S48100671) at the Newton Police Station. Ben-Simon stated he recalls the incident but said his vehicle never came in contact with MV1. Ben-Simon stated MV1 was driving erratically and was following him for some time on Washington Street. Ben-Simon believes his interaction with MV1was a road rage incident but did not want to pull over at the time and report it. I observed no fresh damage to MA: T20208 that would be consistant with being in a crash with MV1. Ben-Simon's information has been added to this report to reflect him being the operator of MV2. No futher action will be taken at this time.

On Wednesday October 28, 2020 at approx. 0900 I responded to 24 Maguire Court for a report of a crash with property damage involving a tractor trailer.

On Wednesday March 31, 2021 at approx 1430 hours Officer Panica responded to the area of Washington Street and Jackson Road for a report of a tractor trailer (car carrier) with New York registration that knocked over a traffic signal and kept traveling east on Jackson Road with out stopping. Officer Nardelli and I responded to the area as dispatch was giving updates of tractor trailer information and direction of travel. I traveled west on Watertown Street from Chapel Street and observed a car carrier traveling west approx four blocks west ahead of me. I activated my emergency lights and made a motor vehicle stop at Watertown Street at Nevada Street. I observed a trailer NY reg # BH32997 which dispatch confirmed this reg was the one involved in the crash. The name of the comapny is DIVERISIFIED AUTOMOTIVE INC of 6 RAMLAND ROAD ORANGEBURG N.Y. 10962 N.Y. apportioned tractor reg 17833PB / trailer NY reg BH32997, the driver was later identified as MA lic # SA0310636 Januel Ortiz d.o.b. 5-17-2001 of 111 Country Club BLVD apt. 201 Worcester MA 01605. Officer Panica confirmed the crash site location and damage to a City of Newton Traffic signal/footings/ sidewalk/retaining wall/landscape. Officer Panica was also approached by witness Erin McGinty of 233 Jackson Road(see statement below) I approached the car carrier on the passenger side and observed fresh damage on the trailer that would be consistent with striking the traffic signal. I then approached the driver of the car carrier Mr. Ortiz. I advised him of the crash and he stated he was traveling west on Washington Street and turned right (north) onto Jackson Road. He stated while turning his trailer struck the traffic signal knocking it over. I asked him why didn't he stop to assess damage or notify anyone. He stated he was looking for a safe place to pull over. He stated he continued north on Jackson Road then left onto Pearl Street and then left onto Watertown Street to drop off vehicles at the 445 Watertown Street,which is where I Pulled him over. I advised him I am familiar with the travel route he went and the length of Jackson Street is not a Heavily traveled area since the school is closed from the crash site, and he traveled approx a mile and a half until I pulled him over. I advised him I would be doing a level III inspection and advising him of my findings. Witness Ms. McGinty stated she heard the crash and observed the car carrier with NY reg # BH32997 have contact with the traffic signal and continue to travel north on Jackson Street without stopping. Therefore after observing damage/pictures and statements I issued in hand MA criminal citation # T2017488 in hand to Mr. Ortiz for Chapter 90 Section 24 LEAVING THE SCENE OF CRASH WITH PROPERTY DAMAGE City Ordinance 19-75 FAILURE TO USE CARE IN TURNING. Mr. Ortiz was explained the process. I took pictures of the damage to the car carrier, and crash site area that I will have downloaded at the I.T. Bureau.

At approximately 1620 HRs on Monday, June 07, 2021, I was dispatched to a report of a fallen traffic light pole at the intersection of Oak St. and Chestnut St. Upon arrival, I observed said light pole down and observed what appeared to be a fresh side-swipe mark on one of the green light lenses, as if it had been in contact with a large vehicle. While on scene, I was contacted by passing motorist, Witness 1, who stated that they were traveling South Bound on Oak. St., when they observed the offending tractor/trailer attempt to make a right hand turn from Chestnut St. (East Bound) onto Oak St. (South Bound), striking the traffic light. Witness 1 additionally provided me with a picture of said trailer (ME Semi Plate: 273605C (Trailer #6673), which has been attached to this report. I contacted Amber, the company which is registered as leasing the trailer and spoke with their Risk Assessment Member, Elizabeth, who stated she would attempt to determine who the driver was. Additionally, I left a message for Mike of Attic RRG, the insurance company for the trailer. At the conclusion of writing this report, I am still awaiting a call from both. ***update*** As of June 13, 2021, all attempts to identify the operator of the tractor/trailer have been met with negative results. Traffic Bureau update (Officer Gaudet): I have made several attempts to contact the registered owner of the trailer involved in this crash over the past week with a negative result. I contacted the Maine Motor Transport Association that handle the registrations for trailers in the state. An agent there stated the trailer is a long term rental to a company called Mesilla Valley Transportation (MVT) Leasing out of New Mexico. I contacted MVT and spoke with Angelica from their Risk Management. Angelica was able to identify the operator of the vehicle as Mr. Hayes Hall Jr. Anglica stated Mr. Hall was in the area making a delivery on the date of the crash. Angelica also stated Mr. Hall did not report being involed in a crash on June 7, 2021. I contacted Mr. Hall to inquire about the crash. Mr. Hall stated he was operating that vehicle on the date of the crash. Mr. Hall stated he was unaware he hit the light pole, and if he knew he made contact with it he would have stopped and reported it. Mr. Hall's information was added to this report to reflect his as the operator of MV1. Mr. Hall reported no new damage to his vehicle that could have resulted from crash with the light pole. It is conceivable that due the to size for the vehicle Mr. Hall was driving, he was unaware of the pole he hit. Mr. Hall will not be cited for leaving the scene of the crash.

The operator of MV#1 stated he was travelling westbound on Beacon St when he saw an available open parking spot and made a u-turn onto the eastbound lane striking MV#2.

Newton Police were dispatched to the area of 120 Waltham St. on 11/20/21 at 1312 hrs, for a motor vehicle accident. The operator of MV#2 stated she made a 3-Point Turn crossing over the double yellow line from the northbound lane into the southbound lane.

Vehicle 1 and Vehicle 2 were headed eastbound on Auburn St when Vehicle 1 attempted to parallel park on the south side of Auburn St. Vehicle 2 attempted to drive around Vehicle 1 while they attempted to park, at which time Vehicle 1 decided to abandon their attempt to parallel park and instead took a wide left turn in an attempt to pull into the angled parking spaces across the street on the north side of Auburn St. When Vehicle 1 attempted this turn, the front driver's side quarter panel of Vehicle 1 made contact with the passenger side front and rear quarter panel of Vehicle 2. I observed minor scrapes to the side of Vehicle 2 and minor scrapes to the front quarter panel of Vehicle 1. The operator of Vehicle 1 stated that she was having difficulty turning the steering wheel of her vehicle following the accident, and I observed that her two front wheels were no longer parallel with each other and instead pointed at an inward angle. Both parties denied injuries. Vehicle 2 was able to drive away from the scene while Vehicle 1 requested a tow from AAA.

On May 18th, 2022 at approximately 11:47 hours while assigned to N491 I responded to a report of a MV crash in the area of #727 Washington St, Newtonville. On my arrival to the scene there was a MSP trooper on scene that happened to be driving by. Vehicle #1 was a gray 2018 Hyundai Electra, MA plate 3VMR89, operated by Paula R. Lima with heavy damage.
