Hersh was provided information on the vehicle involved. Hersh stated an employee named Alexis was operating MA CON:T65665 on the date of the accident and provided a phone number for this party. On Tuesday, February 5, 2019 I spoke with Alexis Laporte-Soto (S84358654). Laporte-Soto stated he was operating a 2017 Mercedes Sprint van (MA CON:T65665) in Newton for Metrowest Packaging on the date of the accident.

The note stated "I saw someone back into your car, I got their plate, MA Reg TC58LC, Black Suburban". and there was minor damage to the drivers side doors. MA Reg TC58LC came back to a HUTTER, Carol of 67 Randlett Pk, Newton. I responded to that address and attempted to raise HUTTER with no answer at the door. I then called the phone number listed from a past incident with the Newton Police and HUTTER answered the phone. She stated she was at the Temple attempting to parallel park when she thought she may have hit another vehicle. She stated she got out to look at the vehicle and didn't see any damage, so she took a photo of the license plate and would try to report it once she got home. MA Reg TC58LC had several scratches on the bumper of the vehicle.

OPERATOR OF MV 1 STATED HE WAS TRAVELING SOUTH ON CRAFTS ST AND AS HE WAS PASSING THE ARS RESTORATION SPECIALISTS PARKING LOT WHICH WAS ON HIS RIGHT, HE WAS STRUCK BY MV 2 WHO WAS BACKING OUT OF THE PARKING LOT AND INTO TRAFFIC ON CRAFTS ST.

The owner of MV#1 stated her vehicle was parked in the rear parking lot (Located on Rice St) of 1066 Centre St and was informed by 2 witnesses that stated her vehicle was struck by MV#2. I spoke to the 2 witnesses and they stated they were on the second floor of 1066 Centre St in suite #212 and had a bird's eye view of the rear parking lot on Rice St. The witnesses stated that MV#1 was parked while MV#2 was parked at an angle at a very close proximity to MV#1. The witnesses stated the operator of MV#2 was cleaning the snow off her vehicle, got into her vehicle then backed out of her parking space striking MV#1. The witnesses took a digital photograph of MV#2's registration (MA REG 763YC9). They described the operator of MV#2 as an Asian female in her 40's, 5'1" in height, operating a black colored "Buick" S.U.V type vehicle. MV#1 sustained minor damages to its front passenger door and bumper. A query of MA REG 763YC9 showed that it was registered to an Asian female to a black colored "Buick Rendezvous". The owner of MV#1 stated the owner of MV#2 also has a business in the same building at 630 Commonwealth Ave (Move2Boston Group). I spoke to the registered owner of MV#2 via telephone and she stated she was parked in the rear parking lot on Rice St but denied making contact with any vehicles. I could not observe MV#2 as it was not at the scene. At 14:40 I returned to 1066 Centre St and was able to observe MV#2. MV#2 displayed minor scrapes to its front driver's side bumper which was consistent relative to where both vehicles were parked. Based on the witnesses statements I will document this accident and provide this report number to the vehicle owners.

MV1 had just picked up a student at 56 Crescent Ave(at the intersection of Throwbridge). He made the pick up just west of the stop sign. He turned off his illuminated bus stop sign, paused and then began to pull into traffic.

As he was driving next to the van, the van pulled into traffic and the 2 MVs touched mirrors. There was no damage to either MV. A BLS ambulance was called to the scene because there were three students on board. All parents showed up and signed refusals for their children.

Officer March was working a road construction detail at the time in the City of Newton. He states that at approximately 12:20 hours he observed MV1 exiting the parking lot of 300 Needham Street( a drive way to a building that the public has access to). There is an island in the middle that separates the entrance and exit of the lot as it goes out to Needham Street. As MV1 was exiting, he drove up on the island and pushed two large stone builders out of place. There was also damage to numerous different flowers planted in the ground. MV1 then exited the lot and went eastbound on Needham Street. Officer March then followed in his vehicle and kept beeping his horn to alert the driver to stop. The operator turned on to Industrial Place and pulled over. Ofc. March attempted to speak to the operator, Gelvin Perez-Ramirez but there was a language barrier. Next, Ofc. Calderon responded and assisted with Spanish translation. He asked the operator what occurred and he stated that he never saw the island. Due to the fact that the operator left the scene of the accident and never reported it, he was issued MA Uniform Citation # T1445351 for Ch. 90/24/C. MV1 sustained damage to the two exhaust pipes on the passenger side of the truck. There is also possible undercarriage damage. Ofc. M. Wade took photos of the scene.

On 08/13/19 at 14:53 hours, I responded to a hit and run motor vehicle accident located at 244 Needham Street. The operator of MV1 states she was parked in a parking spot to the right of the Splash business at 244 Needham Street. The parking spot is located on Charlemont Street. After parking, she was sitting in her motor vehicle when she heard a bump to her driver's side rear end from MV2 backing up from a parking spot across from her. She says the operator of MV2 turned and looked at her and kept proceeding (NB) on Charlemont towards Needham Street. She then exited her vehicle to try and get the operator's attention to no avail. She took a photo of MV2 which was a black Toyota Highlander bearing MA reg.# R85045. She described the operator as a white female in her forties with possibly dark curly hair. I observed minor paint damage and scratches to the driver's side rear quarter panel area. The operator is unsure if that damage is from the accident. The owner of MV2, Steven Masterson has a residential address of 40 Wild Acres Rd in North Attleboro, MA and a mailing address of 34 Central Street Foxborough, MA. A telephone search revealed a phone number of (269)857-7814 for him out of Aiken, SC and the Foxborough address but the number is not in service. UPDATE: I was provided a phone number for Masterson from N. Attleboro PD. On 08/16/19 at 12:45 hours, I spoke to Sheila Masterson who stated she was driving MV2 at the time of the reported accident. She stated that she was unaware that she struck MV1 and saw the other operator looking at her but thought nothing of it. Due to the accident being very minor or possibly no damage at all, no further action will be taken. Masterson was provided with the other operator's information.

MV1 stated he was travelling westbound on Needham St and was attempting to turn left into the Verizon store when MV2 who was behind him passed him subsequently side swiping him. MV1 further stated that the operator "made eye contact with me after the crash but kept going. MV1 took a photo of MV2's trailer (MA REG C98747). I left a VM with the owner of MV2 requesting a call back. MV1 sustained minor passenger side damage. It is unknown what damage was caused to MV2 and whether it would be to the truck or the trailer. Traffic Bureau update (Officer Gaudet): On September 4, 2019, I made contact with the owner of LPS Enterprises, Tony Lisa. Lisa confirmed MA TRN: C98747 is registered to his company. Lisa stated he will look into who was using the trailer on 8/30/19 and will contact me with their information. I spoke with the operator of MV2, John Subilosky (S89884850). Subilosky stated he was operating a 2011 GMC Sierra (MA CON: T58930) with MA TRL:C98747 attached to it on the afternoon of the accident. Subilosky stated he was not aware he was involved in an accident and stated he would have stopped had he known. Subilosky stated there was a bobcat in the trailer at the time of the crash. Subilosky stated there is no damage to the trailer. Due to the size and weight of the trailer attached to MV2, it is reasonable to believe if MV2 made minor contact with MV1, the operator of MV2 would not have been aware. Subilosky has been added to this report as the operator of MV2.

On 9/08/19 Kevin Coston came into NPD Headquarters to report a MV/Ped with Injury that had occurred on 8/23/19 at about 06:15 in the parking lot of Whole Foods (916 Walnut Street).

He was texted by Gedeon (786-352-6695) who stated there was a language barrier and he didn't understand what had happened. RP advised Gedeon to talk to his lawyer or the police. Exact location of accident unknown. Diagram is a estimate. Report printed out and placed in traffic box for follow up. Traffic Bureau Update (Officer Gaudet): On Monday, September 9, 2019 I attempted to make contact with the operator if MV1, Gedeon Duarte, with a negative result. A Hit and Run motor vehicle inquiry was mailed to Duarte. I spoke with the injured party, Kevin Coston, via telephone on September 9, 2019. Coston stated he is an employee at the Whole Foods located at 916 Walnut Street, Newton. Coston stated on August 23, 2019 a black van backed into him as he was kneeling on the ground taking off his knee pads in the loading area of the store. Coston stated he approached the driver who remained in the vehicle to speak with him after he was hit. Coston described the driver as a heavy set Spanish male. Coston stated the operator of the vehicle rolled down his window, took his headphones out of his ear, said sorry, and left the area. Coston stated he contacted the Newton Police to report the accident but was told he needed to come in person to file the report. Coston stated he was unable to come to the station to file the report until September 8, 2019. On Friday, September 13, 2019, I spoke with Gedeon Duarte at the Newton Police Department. Duarte stated he spoke Portuguese and did not speak English. With the assistance of David Sargent from the Language Line (1-800-225-5254) translating, I was to speak with Mr. Duarte in the Traffic Bureau. Duarte stated he was making a delivery at Whole Foods and was waiting for another truck to leave so he could leave the area. Duarte stated a male party (Coston) came up to his driver door and was yelling him. Duarte stated that due to language barrier he was unable to understand what the person was saying to him, but stated the male party was yelling, "Fuck you! Fuck you!" Duarte stated he did not know what was going on and stated he left the area to allow the male party to calm down. Duarte stated he returned a minute later the male party did not want to speak with him. Duarte stated he returned a second time later in the morning and Coston was not there. Duarte stated he received a call from his employer stating Kevin Coston had called for him and he was provided with Coston's phone number. Duarte stated he texted Coston to find out what happened that morning. Duarte showed me a text message exchange from August 23, 2019 at 9:03 A.M. between himself and a party listed as "Kevin Whole". In the text messages, Duarte stated he is the driver of the van and that his supervisor called him. The other party responded and stated "Talk to the police and my lawyer". Duarte stated that he did not understand what happened and that he returned to whole foods. Duarte ended the text exchange with "927535425 my number of policy..." Duarte stated he had no idea he made contact with Coston and stated at the time of the alleged accident he did not hear/see/feel anything otherwise he would have stopped. Duarte's information has been updated in this report to reflect him as the operator/vehicle involved. Duarte also submitted pictures of the rear of his vehicle, a 2008 black Ford E350 (MA: 8NY171), from the day of the accident. Photos were submitted to the IT Bureau.

On Tuesday, September 10, 2019 while assigned to Traffic unit N525, I responded to the area of Beacon Street and Roslyn Road, Newton for a report of a motor vehicle/bicycle crash. The weather at the time of the crash was overcast. The road surface was dry. Beacon Street and Roslyn Road are both public ways maintained by the City of Newton. I spoke with the bicyclist involved in the crash, Steven Greenzang (S96615185). Greenzang stated he was traveling Westbound on Beacon Street in the shoulder lane on his black Specialized bicycle. Greenzang had a yellow reflective vest on and was wearing a helmet at this time. Greenzang stated a vehicle in the travel lane to his left drove by him and hit the mirror located on his left handlebar. I observed damage to the mirror. Greenzang report no injuries. I spoke with the operator of MV1, Sarah Bonfanti (S66811372). Bonfanti stated she was parked in front of 1411 Beacon Street waiting to pick up a co-worker that resides at that address. Bonfanti stated a bicycle traveling on the sidewalk to her right crashed into the passenger side door mirror of her 2008 Toyota Scion (MA: 681YH1). Bonfanti stated the bicyclist was acting "crazy" during her interaction with him and he was trying to take her picture. Bonfanti stated she got back into her vehicle and moved up the roadway to wait for police to arrive on scene. I canvassed the area where the accident occurred with Sgt. Dempsey. There was glass from the passenger side mirror of MV1 and Greenzang's bicycle in the main travel lane of the roadway and the shoulder lane where Greenzang stated he was traveling. We also observed a large tree and a telephone pole on the sidewalk next to the roadway where the accident is alleged to have occurred. After speaking with all parties involved, observing the location of the glass in the roadway from the crash, and the location of the tree and telephone pole on the sidewalk where he accident occurred; Greenzang would not have been able to operate his bicycle on the sidewalk and be close enough to the roadway to make contact with MV1. Prior to clearing the accident, I asked Bonfanti if she had any questions and if she wanted to report any injuries. Bonfanti stated she was hit by the bicyclist during her exchange with him and began grabbing her left leg. I asked Bonfanti why she did not inform the officers on scene that she was assaulted. Bonfanti stated she said something to our Dispatch when she called. I asked Bonfanti if her leg was injured. Bonfanti stated I was putting words in her mouth and that she was just scratching her leg. Bonfanti then stated she was hit in the right shoulder. I asked Bonfanti if she would like an ambulance to respond and evaluate her. Bonfanti declined and stated she was more concerned about her mirror. I advised Bonfanti if she wanted to pursue charges against Greenzang she could do so in Newton District Court. I listened to the 9-1-1 recording Bonfanti made in regards to this incident. Bonfanti stated a pedestrian busted out her window. Bonfanti then stated to our dispatcher that the bicyclist lost control of his bicycle and smashed into her car. During her exchange with the our dispatcher, I did not hear Bonfanti say she was physically assaulted by Greenzang.

Katerina Iliades stated that on 10/23/2019 at 11:56 hours she was standing in front of the rear driver's side door of her vehicle MA reg 7BM656 2019 Land Rover while it was parked facing north in front of 316 Walnut St. Walnut St is a public way in the city of Newton. Iliades stated that she was placing her daughter Melina Bichelen in her car seat and when she observed MA reg 8EP212 a white Subaru Outback driving north bound on Walnut St near the marked crosswalk at 312 Walnut St. Iliades stated that she observed the Subaru was being operated by an elderly white male. Iliades stated that the she observed the Subaru's front drivers side strike several orange plastic three foot poles that are affixed to the roadway around the crosswalk. Iliades stated that after the Subaru struck the poles at the crosswalk it veered towards her. Iliades stated that she leaned back into the back seat of her vehicle and pulled the door towards herself as the Subaru's passenger side mirror made conact with her vehicle. Iliades stated that the Subaru continued north bound on Walnut St without stopping or slowing. Iliades complained of lower leg pain and refused medical aid or transport to a hospital at the crash scene. I observed no damage or markings on Iliades vehicle. MA reg 8EP212 is registered to Harilaos Papadogiannis ( DOB 01/02/1941 ) of 134 Apt 4 North St , Newton. I went to 134 North St and found MA reg 8EP212 a 2014 Subaru parked in the lot of 134 North St. I observed that the Subaru's passenger side mirror was lose from it's mounting and was turned down and was facing the wrong way. I further observed that the out side casing of the Subaru's mirror had scuff marks consistent with it forcefully making contact with an other object. I spoke with Papadogiannis who stated that he was driving his Subaru north bound on Walnut St at 11:56 hours on 10/23/2019. Papadogiannis stated that he could only recall striking the plastic poles near the crosswalk and nothing else regarding the crash. I as spoke with Papadogiannis he was confused and I had to repeat myself and my questions to him several times. I instructed Papadogiannis what steps he needs to take regarding filing out an operator crash report and contacting his insurance provider , but I believe that he did not fully comprehend what I was conveying to him. Based upon my observations at the crash seen and my conversations with Iliades and Papadogiannis , I believe that Papadogiannis was at fault for the crash. Based upon my observations of Papadogiannis I filed an Immediate Threat Request form and faxed it to the MA RMV Driver Control Unit. Photos of both vehicles were taken and downloaded by the NPD's IT Bureau.

On 11/12/2019 at 12:26 hours, I responded to the Star Market parking lot located at 2040 Commonwealth Avenue for a motor vehicle pedestrian accident. The parking lot is a public/thru way that motorists use to access the Star Market along with other businesses. The weather at the time was cloudy and rainy and the parking lot was saturated. Prior to my arrival, the pedestrian involved left the scene and did not want to speak to the officer nor wanted medical attention. Ofc. Claflin then cancelled Cataldo Ambulance. The pedestrian, Mary Alexander, left her information with a store employee prior to leaving. I spoke to the operator of MV # 1 (Joshua Randel MD Lic.# R534440603244) who stated that he was travelling through the third row of the Star Market parking lot at an appropriate speed. He was then attempting to make a left turn near the entrance/exit of the store. He says that there was a large white van parked in the end handicapped spot towards the left of him. He says the van was sticking out in the spot limiting his visibility. As he was half way through his left turn and coming around the corner, he was not able to see a pedestrian pushing a shopping carriage. He then struck the carriage that was being pushed by Mary Alexander. He further says that the cart jolted Ms. Alexander and she fell down to the ground. At the time, Alexander was walking through the lot near the store entrance heading back towards the parked cars. She was not in the crosswalk at the time which was approximately ten feet down from her location. After, I attempted to go to Ms. Alexander's residence to follow up. I spoke to her friend who was bringing up Alexander's groceries and she stated that she decided to go to Newton Wellesley Hospital for treatment. I then spoke to Ms. Alexander in the lobby of the hospital. She stated that she was exiting the store through the lot with her shopping carriage. She believes she was approximately eight feet away from the door when all of a sudden she only saw red coming at her. She believes MV # 1 was speeding at the time. I asked her if she was struck by the vehicle or was the shopping carriage only struck. She replied that she did not know and only remembers falling to the ground after. She sustained a large bruise to the inside palm area of her right hand and her left knee was swollen. Digital photos of the scene were taken and pictures of Ms. Alexander's injuries were taken at the hospital. As far as possible video surveillance, I was told that the Loss Prevention Department has to access the video. On 11/13/19 at approximately 14:20 hours, I went in to the Star Market and spoke to the manager, Nidal Rajeh, inquiring about possible video surveillance. He said there is coverage in the parking lot and he was able to show me the video. A copy of the video would have to be done by Loss Prevention which I requested. I observed at the 12:12pm mark in the video, MV # 1 was parked five spots up from the third row of the lot that he was exiting. I also observed a white transport van parked in the end handicapped spot mentioned by the operator but it was parked correctly and not limiting visibility. Next, MV # 1 backs out of the spot and drives forward going at a reasonable speed. The pedestrian (Alexander) has already exited the store with her carriage and is walking at an angle toward the same third row of parked cars. As the pedestrian is walking towards the direction of MV # 1, it appears that the pedestrian should be visible to him. MV # 1 then starts to take the left turn around the corner without slowing or stopping and strikes the carriage head on. Due to the impact, Alexander then loses grasp of the carriage and it goes past her twisting her body around. She then hits and rolls up on the hood of the vehicle on her left side. MV # 1 then suddenly stops and immediately gets out and provides assistance to the pedestrian. Due to the video surveillance, Mr. Randel will be issued/mailed MA Uniform Citation # T2012347 for Ch. 90/14/A Failure to slow for a pedestrian.

Motor vehicle 1 (MV1) was parked facing northbound in the parking lot of 98 Winchester Street ( Tedeschis), when an unknown motor vehicle 2 (MV2) crashed into the rear passengers side of MV1, and then left the area. It is unknown if MV2 backed into MV1 or hit MV1 head on. As a result of the crash, MV 1 sustained moderate passengers side rear end damage. An unknown witness told the owner of MV1 that the vehicle involved was a dark colored VW sedan with a MA registration of 826PHL, however, this registration number does not come back to a VW. The Tedeschis does have cameras facing the parking lot, however, the employee working at the time of the crash did not have access to them and advised that the manager would be able access the footage tomorrow. On Monday, May 3, 2021, I investigated a Hit and Run crash that occurred at 98 Winchester Street, Newton on May 2, 2021 (Crash#2100000303). I responded to Tedeschi's located at 98 Winchester Street, Newton in an attempt to recover surveillance footage of the crash. I spoke with the owner who allowed me access to review footage from the date and time of the crash. At approximately 1223 hours a black/dark blue Volkswagon sedan is observed entering the Tedeschi's parking lot from Dedham Street (N). The vehicle is observed taking a wide left turn around another vehicle that enters the parking lot from the Winchester Street entrance (E). The front passenger side bumper/fender area of the Volkswagon crashes into the rear passengers side of MV1 (NY: HXZ4415). The Volkswagon is then observed leaving the parking lot (W) out of the Winchester Street side of the lot. The Volkswagon then leaves view of the camera. The Volkswagon's back rear window has white lettering on the bottom. I searched CopLink for registration matches from the Newton area that contain characteristic from the reported registration provided by a witness. MA: 826PH4 comes back to a blue Volkswagon Passat registered to Ms. Joanne Medoff (S95046822) with an address out of 115 Upland Avenue, Newton. This address is 0.1 miles away from where the crash took place. I arrived at 115 Upland Avenue and observed a dark colored Volkswagon Passat (MA: 826PH4) parked in the driveway. This vehicle had moderate recent damage to it's front passenger side bumper/fender area that would be consistent with the crash from Tedeschi's. This vehicle also had the same white lettering present on the bottom of the rear window as the vehicle in the surveillance footage. I rang the doorbell to this address and spoke with Mr. Colby Medoff (S13831145). Mr. Medoff stated the vehicle in the driveway is his but it is registered to his mother. Ms. Medoff came to the door and I explained the circumstances for me speaking with them. After speaking to Mr. Medoff, he admitted to being the operator of the Volkswagon when it crashed into the rear passenger side of MV1. I asked Mr. Medoff why he did not stop and provide his information to the owner of the other vehicle. Mr. Medoff stated he was scared. Mr. Medoff was provided with Massachusetts Uniform Citation 990226AA in hand for Chapter 90, Section 24 (Leaving the Scene of Property Damage). Mr. Medoff was advised. Photos of the Volkswagon and media from the Tedeschi's surveillance footage were submitted to the IT Bureau. Mr. Medoff's information was added to this report to reflect him being the operator of MV2. I contacted the party in possession of MV1, Mr. Jason Medley, and advised him. The parking lot of Tedeschi's is private property but the public does have a right of access to the property.

On Friday, May 7, 2021, while assigned to Traffic unit N525, I responded to the area of Colby Road for a report of a crash involving a City of Newton owned vehicle.

On Monday, May 17, 2021 I responded to the parking lot entrance of the Avalon at Chestnut Hill (160 Boylston Street, Newton) for a report of a motor vehicle/pedestrian crash. The weather at the time of the crash was clear and sunny. The road surface was dry. Boylston Street is a public way in the City of Newton.

On 06/14/21 at approximately 12:00 hours, Sgt. Wade received an email from Nina Wang (D.P.W. Transportation Traffic Superintendent) that a city utility trailer with a signboard attached to it was struck by another motor vehicle at 275 Brookline Street sometime over the weekend between 06/11/21 and 06/14/21. A photo was sent over in the email of the utility trailer and signboard knocked over on it's side over the sidewalk. The utility trailer is 2020 Wanco color orange bearing MA Official registration # M9994A. The trailer was parked in the bicycle lane of the northbound travel lane next to 275 Brookline Street. The signboard was there in an attempt to get motorists to drive the speed limit due to the Memorial Spalding School located at 250 Brookline Street. On 06/14/21 at approximately 12:00 hours, I responded to Brookline Street to photograph the trailer and possibly process the scene. The trailer could not be located. I learned later that the trailer had already been towed by Tody's towing and brought to the City D.P.W. yard located at 110 Crafts Street. On 06/15/21 at approximately 09:00 hours, I went over to 110 Crafts Street and was told that the trailer/signboard was in the garage. The trailer was already being repaired to be placed back in to service. It had sustained damage to the two rear brackets where the jacks are located and the license plate bracket and registration plate were bent. The signboard message frame board is no longer aligned properly as a result of the accident but reportedly still functions. After, I then responded back to 275 Brookline Street and took digital photos of the scene. I observed in the bike lane at the accident scene two small pieces of lens covers to a vehicle with no identifying marks. I also did a canvass for possible surveillance cameras in the area. There was no response at number 269 and 275 Brookline Street but I left a note for them to call me. 283 Brookline Street has no surveillance cameras. Memorial Spalding School is across the street from the accident and I observed a camera on the side of the building which faces the staff parking lot on to Brookline Street. I spoke to a staff member Jesse Brackett at the school. He called David Stickney (Superintendent of Schools) and notified him of the accident. Mr. Stickney was provided with my email and will send over any possible footage if he has it. At approximately 12:45 hours, I spoke to Mike Sylvester who resides at 275 Brookline Street. He stated that he had surveillance footage and emailed it over to me. I viewed the footage which is a camera that views his approx. 75 foot driveway leading out to Brookline Street. There is a fence and bushes behind where the signboard is located which limits it's view. The video shows the accident took place on 06/11/21 at 18:48 hours. At this time, you can see the trailer is struck and slowly falls over on it's side. Immediately after a white colored four door sedan continues to slowly drive past the scene northbound on Brookline Street in the bicycle lane without stopping. Two other vehicles behind the white sedan drive around to the left of the white vehicle at this point. In the footage, you can not view the registration number, operator details, or the type of sedan from the footage. On 06/16/21 at 09:40 hours, I spoke to David Stickney who called the Traffic Bureau. He stated that he had footage of the accident but it did not reveal any other details besides the same white sedan striking the trailer.

On Wednesday, June 16, 2021 while assigned to Traffic unit N525, I responded to the front entrance of the Brown Middle School located at 125 Meadowbrook Road in Newton for a single vehicle crash involving a City of Newton contracted school bus. It was also reported by Newton Dispatch that one of the occupants on the bus had suffered an arm injury as a result of the crash. Meadowbrook Road is a public way maintained by the City of Newton. The road surface at the time of the crash was dry. The weather at the time of the crash was clear and sunny. When I arrived, I was updated by Officer Iarossi that the crash involved a City of Newton contracted school bus transporting students from the Williams School (141 Grove Street, Newton). The students were participating in "Step Up" day and were leaving Brown to go back to Williams. Officer Iarossi stated a student on the bus was injured as a result of the crash. Tegan Quirk was transported by Fallon Medics to Newton Wellesley Hospital with a right arm injury. The remaining students that were on the bus reported no injuries to staff at the time and were moved to another bus to be transported back to the Williams School. I asked the Brown staff that was assembled in front of the school to contact the Williams School and ask them to hold the children involved in the crash at the school once they arrived. I made this request so we could make sure there weren't any new injuries reported; and I wanted to inquire if any of the children witnessed the incident. The staff stated they would contact Williams and relay the request. I spoke with the operator of the school bus (MA BUN: BU44536), Mr. John Aubert (S48613114). Mr. Aubert stated he was operating bus #361 while transporting students from Brown Middle School to the Williams School. Mr. Aubert stated as he was preparing to leave Brown, he made an announcement to students on the bus to sit down. Mr. Aubert stated he got the okay to leave from one of the staff members on the bus. Mr. Aubert stated there was another bus parked in front of him prior to leaving. Mr. Aubert stated he began to reverse the bus to create distance from the bus in front of him, and then operated the bus forward to exit from his position on the right side of the road and merge into the travel lane to his left around the bus parked in front of him. Mr. Aubert stated as he merged onto the roadway, he heard screaming from the students on the bus and the rear passenger side of the bus made contact with a brick support column in front of the school positioned along the sidewalks edge next to the roadway. Mr. Aubert stated he exited the bus and observed a student's arm pinned on the rear passenger side of the bus between the side of the bus and the brick column. Mr. Aubert stated he got back in the bus and reversed it until the students arm was free. Mr. Aubert stated at this time, staff helped the injured student. The staff there helped facilitate transportation for the remaining students back to the Williams School. Mr. Aubert reported no injuries, but was concerned for the welfare of the student. After speaking with Mr. Aubert, I observed damage to the school bus and the brick support column as a result of the crash. I observed fresh damage (scrapes) to the rear passenger side of the school bus between the last passenger side window and the back of the bus. I also observed fresh damage to the brick support column. The column is a support to an overhead covering that runs from the sidewalk to the front entrance of the school. There was fresh paint transfer from the bus and a crack in the column. Pictures were taken of the damage and submitted to the IT Bureau. The travel lane where the crash took place is a one way access road that runs from Meadowbrook Road to the front of the school, and exits onto a parking lot between the Brown Middle School and the Oak Hill Middle School. I responded to the Williams School to follow up with staff there regarding this crash. All of the students that were involved in the crash had been released prior to my arrival. I spoke with the Principal of the Williams School, Ms. Ayesha Farag, Ms. Michal Shapiro (Social Worker), and Ms. Katie Costello (School Nurse) about the students on the bus. They stated no injuries were reported to them, and they notified the parents of the involved parties about the crash. They also provided me with contact information for all of the students on the bus at the time of the crash. I spoke with the three teachers that were on the bus at the time of the crash, Ms. Kimberly Andersen, Ms. Tess McLean, and Ms. Katherine O'Leary. All three teachers stated prior to the bus leaving Brown Middle School they accounted for all of the students and were ready to leave to travel back to the Williams School. One of the teachers recalled hearing the bus driver make an announcement to the bus that they were about to leave, but could not recall the exact wording of the announcement. The teachers stated as the bus began to move, they heard screaming from the rear of the bus, looked back, and saw a student's arm stuck outside the window. After realizing the student was injured, they assisted with helping to free the student from his pinned position. They helped the injured student until EMS arrived on scene. They assisted the remaining students by directing them away from the crash and onto another bus for transportation back to Williams. The three teachers reported no injuries as a result of the crash. I responded to the Newton Wellesley Hospital Pediatric Emergency Room to check on the status of the injured student, Tegan Quirk. I spoke with Tegan and his mother, Kathryn Quirk in his room. While attempting to talk to Tegan and his mother, Tegan became very upset and did not want to talk about the specifics of the crash. Out of courtesy for Tegan, I exited the room and spoke with his mother outside the room. I explained to Ms. Quirk the events of the crash, and how her son's arm became injured. I asked Ms. Quirk if she could assist me with faciliating a conversation with Tegan about the events of the crash. I explained to her I understood how traumatic the events of the crash were for her son, but as part of my investigation I would need to find out what led to Tegan's arm being outside the bus window at the time of the crash. While speaking to his mother, Tegan explained that he was waving to a friend with his arm out of the bus window when the bus started to move. Tegan stated his arm hit the column, and became stuck between the bus and the column. Tegan stated he was screaming for the bus to move and that it took forever for the bus to move so he could free his arm. Tegan stated the bus driver gave no warning to the students that the bus was going to start moving. The staff at Newton Wellesley Hospital stated Tegan has a right arm injury. The severity of the injury is unknown at this time due to further examination that needs to take place. I advised Ms. Quirk about the conversations I had with the other parties involved. I spoke with Mr. David Stickney (Head of Facilities) from the Newton Public Schools to try and obtain footage of the crash. Mr. Stickney stated unfortunately there is not footage of the crash from the Brown Middle School or Oak Hill Middle School surveillance cameras. I advised Ms. Regina Moody (Newton Public Schools Transportation Director) about the crash. Ms. Moody was able to show me footage of the incident from the camera inside the bus. In the footage, the bus driver can be heard announcing to the students prior to the bus moving, "Guys, guys, get off the seat and sit correctly". One of the teachers can be seen doing a count of the students. The teacher is heard saying to the student, "Everyone needs to be in a seat and sitting at 3 and 2 and 1 and thank you." Student are observed still standing up. The teacher is then heard saying, "sit down sit down." After the teacher passes the students in the back of the bus, she says, "We are good." to the front of the bus. Students are then observed standing after she passes. As the bus begins to back up, students can be observed standing in the rear of the bus and not sitting down on their seats. As the bus moves forward, a student (Tegan Quirk) can be seen standing on his seat and extending his right arm out of the last window on the passenger side of the bus. Screaming can then be heard as his arm makes contact with a support column on the passenger side of the bus. The bus is stopped, the driver exits the bus to asses what happend, gets back on the bus, and reverses the bus a short distance. The injured students right arm is released and he brings his arm back into the bus through the window. The amount of time between the students arm being pinned against the column to when it is released is approximately 40 seconds. After speaking with all parties involved and reviewing the footage from inside the bus, it appears that Bus #361 was pulling out of it's parked position in front of the Brown Middle School to enter the roadway and return students to the Williams School. A student that was sitting in the last row on the passenger side of the bus extended his right arm out of a window next to his seat to say goodbye to a friend. While his right arm was extended out of the rear passenger side window of the bus , the bus collided with a brick support column affixed to the sidewalk in front of the school. When the bus made contact with the column, the students right arm made contact with a brick support column and became pinned between the column and the passegner side of the bus. After the students arm was freed from it's pinned position, the student was able to bring his arm back into the school bus and was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital for a right arm injury.

On 06/21/2021 at approx. 0545 hrs I was at the Yard at 52 Elliot Street speaking with other officers. I was parked between cruisers N500 and N498. A large bee flew into the window of N507 and was in the area of my face. I was unable to open the cruiser door so I attempted to pull the cruiser forward and did not realize the wheels of the cruiser were angled and I hit the back passenger side corner of N498 causing damage to the light and the rear quarter. The damage to N507 was the passenger side front and rear door. Photos were taken and submitted to the IT department. No injuries were sustained. Both cruisers were able to be driven.

Opr of MV1 reported a possible hit and run. I spoke to the Opr of MV1 he stated he was attempting to park in a parking spot in front of Los Amigos on Walnut Street. At this time, he was angled in to park and observed the vehicle (MV2) behind him attempt to pass him. While passing, MV2 made contact with MV1. MV1 suffered minor damage and was not towed. Opr of MV1 thought they were stopping, but the did not and took off towards Austin Street. A witness, Xavier Vacquez observed the accident and followed MV2. Xavier took a photo of the license plate and sent it to the Opr of MV1. Through an inquiry, I made contact with the Opr of MV2. Opr of MV2 stated she was traveling on Walnut Street behind MV1. She observed MV1 park and then pull out a little and was not sure what MV1 was doing. At this time, MV2 passed MV1 and drove to the parking lot. Opr of MV2 told me she thought she was struck in the parking lot and did not realize she made contact with MV1 back on Walnut Street. I explained there would be an accident report and advised her of the process. After an investigation it was determined it was not a hit and run. MV2 suffered minor damage and was not towed. There were no injuries reported.

The operator of Vehicle #1 stated that as he was travelling Eastbound on Centre St he changed lanes to the right prior to the collision with Vehicle #2.

Mr. Parker acknowledged his vehicle made contact with another vehicle while he was attempting to park. Mr Parker stated after making contact with the other vehicle, he exited that parking spot because it was too tight and parked in another parking spot. Mr. Parker stated there is no new damage to his vehicle and the damage I described in the pictures Mr. Drukman forwarded to me was old. I advised Mr. Parker that I was citing him for leaving the scene of property damage. Mr. Parker admitted to crashing into MV1 as he was attempting to park in the JCC parking lot. Mr. Parker knowingly made contact with another vehicle and made no effort to exchange information with the owner of the vehicle he crashed into. The pictures submitted by Mr. Drukman of his vehicle show obvious fresh damage as a result of a crash. After completing my investigation, Mr. Parker will be mailed Massachusetts Uniform Citation 089044AB for Chapter 90, Section 24 (Leaving the Scene of Property Damage). The public does have a right of access to the parking lot for the Jewish Community Center located at 333 Winchester Street, Newton.

On Wednesday, September 1, 2021, while assigned to Traffic unit N525, I responded to the Newton Centre Municipal Parking Lot (797 Beacon Street, Newton) for a report of a motor vehicle crash involving a pedestrian with a potential head injury. The weather at the time of the crash was cloudy and overcast. The road surface at the time of the crash was dry. The Newton Centre Municipal Parking Lot is open for public travel and use and is maintained by the City of Newton I spoke with the operator of the 2016 Audi 32 (MA: 4PL345) involved in the crash, Mr. Peter Schiller (S26414610). Mr. Schiller stated he entered the Newton Centre lot from Langley Road and made a right turn to enter the back row of parking stalls. Mr. Schiller stated he then took a left turn into the parking area to look for a spot. Mr. Schiller stated he did not see the pedestrian in the roadway in time and his vehicle's front end crashed into the pedestrian. Mr. Schiller estimated the crash happened right near the first car parked in the row closest to where he entered. I showed Mr. Schiller the believed area of impact was actually 3 car stalls in, and the crash occurred in the middle of the travel way. I asked Mr. Schiller if he has any medical conditions or takes any medication that would effect his ability to operator a motor vehicle. Mr. Schiller stated he does not. Mr. Schiller reported no injuries as a result of the crash. I observed very minor damage to the front hood/bumper/fender area of his vehicle from where the crash took place. I did observe soil covering the hood area. The injured pedestrian was carrying a plant with soil in the pot. I asked Mr. Schiller if he could recall where he made contact with the pedestrian or how the pedestrian ended up in front of his vehicle. Mr. Schiller stated he thought the injured pedestrian was running towards his car when the made his turn. I spoke with a witness that remained on scene, Mr. Nicholas Ryland. Mr. Ryland stated he was walking in the Newton Centre lot while pushing his daughter in her stroller. Mr. Ryland stated he observed MV1 enter the lot from Langley Road and took the right turn into the lot at a high rate of speed. Mr. Ryland stated he stopped with the stroller next to the first vehicle parked in the roadway where the last parking stalls begin. The MV1's driver side operated past Mr. Ryland's left side, took a left turn, and then Mr. Ryland stated he heard the crash. The crash took place in the middle of the roadway in between the parking stalls to the East and West of MV1. I responded to Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston to follow up with the pedestrian injured in the crash, Ms. Sophia Alexandridies (S49399467). Ms. Alexandridies was transported to the emergency department by Fallon Medics with multiple injuries including a head injury. Due to Ms. Alexandridies's injuries, I was unable to obtain a statement from her about the events of the crash. I spoke with Ms. Alexandridies's daughter, Christina, in the emergency department. Christina stated Ms. Alexandridies suffered a head injury, along with possible broken ribs and an injury to her left shoulder. Most of the injuries reported are on Ms. Alexandridies's left side, the presumed area of impact with the vehicle. Due to the circumstances of this crash, and Mr. Schiller being involved in another surchargeable crash on April 28, 2021, a Request for Immediate Threat License Suspension was submitted to the Registry of Motor Vehicles at DCUImmediateThreat@massmail.state.ma.us. Mr. Schiller is also being cited with Massachusetts Uniform Citation 119853AB for Newton City Ordinance Chapter 19, Section 75 (Fail To Use Care). On September 2, 2021, I contacted Mr. Schiller to provide him with additional information about the crash. Mr. Schiller stated he did not realize Ms. Alexandridies was injuried in the crash. Mr. Schiller also stated he has no recollection of being involved in a crash in April. Mr. Schiller was advised to contact his insurance company to inquire about his last crash. Photos were taken of the area and MV1 and submitted to the IT Bureau. I canvassed the area for survellance footage of the crash with a negative result.

On Thursday, September 23, 2021, while assigned to Traffic unit N525, I responded to the area of 358 Beacon Street, Newton for a report of a motor vehicle/bicycle crash with injury. The weather at the time of the crash was clear and sunny. The road surface was dry. Beacon Street is a public way maintained by the City of Newton.

On 10/01/2021, while assigned to N494, I, Officer Conary, responded to Centre Street and Hyde Ave for a report of a single vehicle accident. Upon arrival, I met with operator of MV1, who was outside of the vehicle. There was significant damage to the left front tire and front end. Operator of MV1 explained to me that she was traveling Northbound on Centre Street and next thing she remembered was being pulled over on the side of the road and not being able to drive the vehicle. Operator of MV1 stated she was not traveling fast because there was another vehicle in front of her. At this time, medics were called on scene for an evaluation. I was able to determine that MV1 was traveling Northbound on Centre Street, veered off to the right, struck the curb, which caused the tire to pop, and then the front end grazed the utility pole. Tody's towed the vehicle. Operator of MV1 was transported to the hospital. There was minor damage to the Verizon Utility Pole. No structural damage. Verizon was notified. The city was notified to clean debris in the road. Pictures of the utility pole were sent to IT to be uploaded accoridingly.

On 10/19/21 at 08:30 hours, Sgt. Wade notified me that he received an email regarding a motor vehicle accident involving a pedestrian/student that occurred on 10/15/21 between the hours of 08:20am and 08:35am. The crash was never reported by the operator of the vehicle or the student/pedestrian. Approximately two hours later, the student went to the nurse's office seeking assistance for neck pain which is how the school became aware. This crash occurred in the marked crosswalk on Brandeis Road in front of Newton South High School which is located at 139 Brandeis Road. The weather at the time was 63 degrees with mostly cloudy and sunny conditions (wunderground.com). Brandeis Road is a two way roadway divided by an unprotected median that runs east and westbound. In front of the school there is a marked crosswalk in the roadway. There is also a one way driveway near the main entrance of the school with parking stalls and parents can drop their children off there on the right side of the driveway. The driveway then leads back out to Brandeis Road. Right after you exit the lot there is the above mentioned crosswalk to the left of the driveway which is very visible with nothing obstructing your view. On arrival, I spoke to the Dean of the school named Charlie Myette. Mr. Myette brought me to his office and started looking at the school's video surveillance system. He also requested that the student/pedestrian involved to report to his office. The student was identified as Tsukasa Iinishi. I asked Mr. Iinishi what had occurred and he stated that he was walking to school on the morning of 10/15/21. He says that he was wearing a pink hoody sweatshirt with gray shorts. He was walking through the woods which is across the street from the school which exit out to Brandeis Road. He says that he waited at the crosswalk and let two vehicles go westbound by him. He then thought it was clear to proceed and started walking. At the tail end of the crosswalk he was struck by a red colored Toyota Prius which exited left from the driveway and was on the left side of the roadway. He was struck on the left side of his body and he says that he used his left hand to brace himself against the hood and that's when the Prius stopped. He says that the operator of the Prius asked him if he was okay and he replied that he was. He then kept walking toward the school. The operator then continued on it's way without providing any information or notifying us. He described the operator as an Asian female with black hair approximately 40 to 50 yrs in age. During this time, Mr. Myette was able to find surveillance video of the crash. There are two camera angles. One shows the driveway along with the walkway of the school building. The other one shows the same but it also overlooks out in to Brandeis Road. The view of the road is partially blocked from the parked cars in the lot. The video shows a red colored Toyota Prius pull in to the driveway of the school. An Asian female student wearing a white long sleeve shirt with green lettering and dark colored jeans exits the passenger front of the Prius and eventually enters the school. The Prius then pulls out and goes toward the left side of the driveway around other vehicles waiting to exit. At 08:27 hours, the Prius pulls out angling towards the left side of the driveway going around other vehicles waiting to exit. The Prius then exits the lot on the left side (wrong side) of the roadway and makes contact with the pedestrian. In the video you cannot see the front hood area of the car, but you see Iinishi's torso bend towards the vehicle on impact. It shows the Prius stopped there for approximately ten seconds and then it drives away. In the video you are not able to see the registration plate number. Mr. Myette is going to send the photo of the student dropped off in the Prius to his staff to have her identified so I can follow up with the operator. On 10/21/21, I received an email from Mr. Myette stating that some of his staff has not come forward on the identification of the student. He stated that he would now send a message out to a larger group of staff to see if he gets a response. He also attempted to enhance the registration plate using the surveillance software but the plate is still too blurry to make out. On 10/25/21 at approximately 08:40 hours, I went over to Newton South High School to see if I could locate the red Toyota Prius involved in the crash. As I was driving on Olde Field Road approaching Brandeis Road near the school, I observed a red Prius approximately four cars ahead of me in heavy school traffic. Eventually, I observed the Prius pull in to the drop off driveway of the school and drop an Asian female student off. I identified her as the same student that got out of Prius prior to the past accident on 10/15/21. The operator was an Asian female which appeared to be in her late forties. After, the Prius exits the lot on to Brandeis Road and I flagged her down. I had her pull in to the parking lot across the street from the school. I asked her if she was involved in a accident with a student on the morning of 10/15/21 to which she replied that she was. She was identified as Xiaojin Liu through her MA Driver's License # S49033927. She was operating a 2010 Toyota Prius bearing MA reg.# 8JY630. I asked her what occurred and she stated that she was exiting the driveway of the school to turn left on to Brandeis Road. She says that she has a habit to think that no one is ever walking through the crosswalk and thought it was clear to proceed. She turned and then saw the student crossing and attempted to stop but was not able to in time. She then bumped the student with the front of her vehicle. She says that she stopped and asked the student if he was ok several times and he stated that he was. The student then walked away and she says that she did not know what else to do. I advised her that she should of gave her information to the student, notify the school, or call us to which she understood. I issued MA Uniform Citation # 172129AB to Ms. Liu for Ch. 90/24/A Leaving the scene of personal injury. After, I went inside the school and notified Mr. Myette of my findings. I asked him for the surveillance footage as I previously did in person and through email. He stated that he would put the video on a zip drive and notify me.

On 10/21/21 at 15:24 hours, I (Traffic Unit 523) responded to 1479 Washington Street for a motor vehicle accident involving a bicyclist. The weather at the time was seventy three degrees with mostly cloudy skies and some sun(weather.com). The road conditions were dry and Washington Street is a public way maintained by the City of Newton. Washington Street is a two way divided roadway with an unprotected median that runs in a easterly and westerly direction. At this location, there is a marked crosswalk with a walk signal along with traffic signals above in both directions. On arrival, the scene was cleared up and both parties were waiting in the parking lot of the Burke & Blackington Funeral Home at 1479 Washington Street. I spoke to the bicyclist involved who was identified as Rajmattie Thakoordeen. I asked her what occurred and she stated that she was attempting to cross Washington Street in a southerly direction on her electric bicycle. She says that she pushed for the crosswalk signal to activate and once it did she began riding her bicycle when she was suddenly struck by a silver Saab 93. She made it out in to the crosswalk approximately four feet when she was struck by the Saab which was travelling westbound in the right lane of Washington Street. She says that she was struck on the left side of her leg area. She complained of her left leg being sore near her knee area but signed a patient refusal with Fallon Ambulance declining transport. At the time, she was riding a Rad Power Bike Roadrunner 1 Plus that is silver and black in color. It is a Class 2 electric bicycle (750W) that can go up to 20 m.p.h. The only damage it sustained was scrapes to the outside left pedal. Ms. Thakoordeen was wearing black/gray/white pants, yellow reflective jacket, and a black bicycle helmet at the time. Next, I spoke to the operator of the Saab 93 bearing RI registration # FN193. He was identified as Nevan Hanumara with Rhode Island Driver's License # 9960501. He stated that he was travelling westbound on Washington Street in the right travel lane when he came around the curve and noticed the red light signal above in the last second. He says by the time he reacted and attempted to stop he went through the red light and made contact with the bicyclist in the crosswalk. He reported no injuries and no damage to his vehicle. Due to his statement and inattention to the traffic signal, I issued him MA Uniform Citation # 168985AB for Chapter 89/9 Fail to Stop/Yield for the red traffic signal. Digital photos were taken of the scene.

On 11/03/21 at 08:25 hours, N491 and I (Traffic Unit # 523) responded to 612 Washington Street for a two car motor vehicle accident involving a city motor vehicle. The weather at the time was clear and sunny and the road conditions were dry. Washington Street is a public way maintained and owned by the City of Newton. On arrival, I spoke to the operator identified as Brian Napolitano (MA D/L #S73156918) and his co-worker Kevin Brooks who was a passenger in the vehicle. Both parties work for the City of Newton Department of Public Works. Mr. Napolitano was operating a 2009 Ford F350 bearing MA MVN registration# M78129 at the time. He stated that he was attempting to back out of the driveway of 612 Washington Street. Once it was clear to proceed he backed out on to Washington Street and that is when a Subaru Impreza made contact with his driver's side front quarter panel area. He says the Subaru was making a left turn from the left westbound lane of Washington Street in to the same driveway he was backing out of at the time. There was no visible damage to the vehicle. I then spoke to the operator of the Subaru (MA reg.# 3GYT41) identified as Jennifer Shippie (MA D/L# S23299202). Ms. Shippie states she was in the left westbound lane of Washington Street and was turning left in to the driveway of 612 Washington Street. She further stated that a vehicle in the eastbound lane stopped for her and waved her on to proceed. She then made the turn and never saw the Ford F350 backing out and made contact with it on her passenger front bumper area. The entire vehicle had damage to the front bumper consisting of scratches and dents but she stated none of it was new from this accident. No injuries reported and digital photos taken of the vehicles by me.

On 11/17/21 at 10:51 hours, I responded to the rear of the Newton Dept. of Public Works City Yard located at 74 Elliot Street for a crash that involved a city backhoe and a city contracted semi-trailer truck. No injuries were reported. On arrival, I spoke to the operator of the semi-trailer truck which is a 2006 Peterbilt Model 327 with MA APP Reg. # 3827B. The operator was identified as Robert Lawton (MA D/L # S92175566). Mr. Lawton works for Commonwealth Construction and Utilities which is owned by the Distefano Corporation in Watertown, MA.

At the time, Mr. Lawton was standing on a ladder attached to the trailer overseeing it being loaded up by a city backhoe. The truck was parked and facing in a westerly direction. During the loading process, the backhoe was pulling forward towards the truck in a westerly direction. The front left side wheel of the backhoe struck the truck's driver's side rear mud flap area denting it. The mud flap is made of metal and covers the four rear tires from front to back. Both Mr. Lawton or the operator of the backhoe never realized the truck had been struck until another worker from Commonwealth Construction noticed it.

On Friday, January 7, 2022, while assigned to Traffic unit N525, I responded to the area of Commonwealth Avenue and Auburn Street, Newton for a report of a City of Newton plow truck that knocked over a traffic signal and left the area. The weather at the time of the crash was overcast and snow. The road surface was wet. Commonwealth Avenue and Auburn Street are both public ways maintained by the City of Newton.

The traffic signal was cracked at it's base, and still functioning while resting on the sidewalk. The traffic signal when operation faces traffic traveling Westbound on the Commonwealth Avenue carriage road at Auburn Street. An anonymous resident of the area approached me and showed me a picture on their phone of the truck that left the area after crashing into the traffic signal. The photo was of a large City of Newton orange dump truck with a plow affixed to the front of it. I could not make out the registration of the vehicle, but I could see the number 48 on it's side to identify it.
