crash_reports

Operator of MV1 was driving westbound on Beacon St in the area of 741 Beacon. Operator of MV1 stated his tire blew out and the car swerved into the side of MV2 and then the rear of MV3 which were both parked legally. Witness 1 stated she heard the crash but did not see the impact. She stated she heard the crashing noise first, and then heard a loud popping noise of the tire blowing out shortly after. Witness 1 identified Cesar Ramirez Rodriguez as the Operator of MV1. Operator of MV1 was uninjured, and the other two vehicles were unoccupied. Todys responded and towed MV1 and MV2. Operator of MV1 was issued, in hand, MA citation T1440439 for 90/23 Operating after suspension and 89/4A marked lanes violation. I was eventually able to locate the owners/drivers of the parked vehicles and they were given the report number. Beacon St is a public way in the City of Newton.

Oper of veh # 1 and both occupants state that veh # 1 was pulled over to the side of Union Street (public way in city of Newton) waiting as someone was pulling out of a street parking spot when it was hit by veh # 2 who was traveling EB on Union Street. All occupants of the vehicle felt the collision which caused minor damage. They stated the blue Subaru kept going but went around the block and stopped near vehicle to see if there was damage to MV #1, When Oper 2 realized they were taking picture of his vehicle he fled the area without talking to anyone involved. They described Oper #2 as an Asian male, Veh # 2 was registered to an Asian male. Tried contacting owner of veh 2 however listed number was invalid. Citation mailed to Oper # 2 for leaving the scene of property damage.

On 3/1/19 while working N493, myself and N492 Officer Selig were sent to the area of 1354 Washington St for a motor vehicle accident with reported injuries. On arrival, I spoke to Matthew Digregorio DOB7/2/74 ( hereby referred to as operator #1) who was standing on the sidewalk next to MA reg 134TR9 (vehicle #1 ). Vehicle #1 had significant damage to the front and right quarter panels. It was straddled between the travel lanes and did not have the keys in the ignition. It was immediately apparent that operator #1 suffered an injury to his head, as there was a moderate amount of blood and small pieces of glass stuck in his forehead area. I observed operator #1 to be unsteady on his feet, have bloodshot eyes and slurred speech. I could detect a moderate odor of alchoholic beverage coming from operator #1 as I was approaching him, which was apparent from about an arms length away (it should be noted that medics were already en route to the scene at this time). Prior to the medics arrival, I asked operator #1 for a brief synopsis of what transpired. Operator #1 stated that he had just left Paddy's Pub and was driving westbound on Hunter St (which is approximately 1/8 mile from our location) when he collided head on with vehicle #2. Vehicle #2 was not immediately visible upon police arrival, however was pointed out as being located at the intersection of Hunter and Putnam St. I asked operator #1 where he was heading, as Hunter St is a back road not directly in the vicinity of Paddy's. Operator #1 could not answer the question and also remained silent when I asked him how much alcohol he had consumed this evening. At this time the medics arrived on scene. I asked operator #1 for the car keys to reliquish to the tow truck operator, which is standard operating practice. Operator #1 reached into his pocket and then provided me with the keys. Due to concern over operator #1's obvious head trauma, he was then transported to NWH to be evaluated while the investigation continued on scene. Two other parties approached myself and Officer Selig. One was the operator of vehicle #2, MA reg 1RD999. Operator #2 is identified as Luke Ferdinands DOB 5/11/80. The other party who approached is identified as Douglas Dasilva-Pimenta DOB 6/2/86 (Dasilva-Pimenta will now be referred to as operator #3). Operator #2 states that he was taking a right onto Hunter St from Putnam St, when he observed vehicle #1 on the wrong side of the road approaching him head on. Operator #2 states vehicle #1 then collided head on with him, took a right onto Putnam St, and continued onto the Washington St overpass near 1354 Washington St. Operator #3 states he was inside of #5 Hunter St when he heard a loud crash coming from outside. He looked out the window and saw vehicle #1 traveling at a high rate of speed on Hunter St towards Putnam St. Operator #3 observed damage to the right side of his parked vehicle (now referred to as vehicle #3) MA reg 7CAK80. He immediately got in his vehicle and proceeded to follow vehicle #1, which then crashed into vehicle #2 head on. Operator #1 did not stop until it was obvious that operator #3 was following close behind. This ultimately landed vehicle #1 at it's final location near 1354 Washington St. Vehicle #1 and vehicle #2 were not driveable and were towed to Tody's. It should be noted that there was a passenger in vehicle #2 at the time of the collision. Airbags were deployed and medics checked out both operator and passenger. Both declined transport. The passenger is identified as Elizabeth Ferdinands DOB 5/22/53.Ferdinands' version of events coincide with that of operator #2. Upon speaking with Officer Selig it was learned that operator #1 dropped his cell phone several times as he was holding it on scene. Both Officer Selig and operators #2 and #3 observed this. Operators #2 and #3 both expressed concern over the obvious odor of alcohol eminating from operator #1, and the fact that he was unsteady on his feet. I responded to NWH to follow up with operator #1 however he did not wish to speak further. He did express concern over the well being of all parties involved. Operator #1 was issued in hand the following citations: T1268426 - 90/24 OUI Alcohol, 90/24 Leaving the Scene (property damage, vehicle #2), and 90/24 Leaving the Scene (property damage, vehicle #3). T1268425 - 89/4a Marked Lanes violation. T1269216 - 90/24 Negligent Operation of a M/V (mailed after consultation with superiors) All streets mentioned are public ways in the City of Newton. 1354 Washington St will be the address used on this report and subsequent citations due to multiple locations being involved. Citations and paperwork have been placed in the prosecutor's mailbox. An immediate threat form has been filled out and faxed to Mass DOT. *Attention Police Prosecutor for blood work subpoena, if applicable*

On 3/4/19 I responded to the area of Hammond St and Chestnut Hill Rd for a report of a two car MVA. Upon arrival it was determined there were no injuries and the two drivers signed patient refusals with the ambulance. I first spoke with the operator of MV#1 who stated he was driving northbound on Hammond St near the Chestnut Hill T station where it bends and MV#2 was coming southbound and skidded on the snow and came into his lane. I then spoke with the operator of MV#2 who stated he was driving southbound on Hammond St when his vehicle lost control around the turn and drifted into the opposite lane and struck MV#1. I issued the operator of MV#2 MA Citation T1268628 for Chapter 89/4A; Marked Lanes Violation. At the time of this accident there were heavy snow conditions. Tody's Towing responded and towed both vehicles from the scene.

On 3/4/19 at approximately 1630hrs, I responded to the front desk for a report of a past hit and run. Operator#1 stated she was involved in an an accident on 2/27/19 at 1436hrs in front of Mango Thai, 115 Elm St. Operator #1 stated she was stopped waiting for the red light at Elm St and Washington when a "new black or gray SUV" pulled out of a parking spot the right of her. The other vehicle sideswiped her passenger side causing a large scratch. Operator #1i stated she honked and attempted to stop the vehicle but the driver pulled away. Operator #1 was only able to identify the driver as a male but did provide me with a plate of MA Reg 9RM445. The plate comes back leased to a 2018 Gray Jeep Compass registered to a Matthew Veteto. I was unable to find any phone number for Veteto. Operator#1 has already filed a claim with her insurance company who advised her she would need a police report. Due to being unable to verify who was driving, a citation was not issued.

Operator 1 was attempting to parallel park in a parking space in front of 1241 Centre St when she was sideswiped by MV2 who was attempting to pass her. No injuries reported. MV1 sustained minor rear drivers side damage. MV2 fled the scene prior to my arrival. NPD located the vehicle at the owners residence which had matching damage and paint transfer on the front passenger side. Multiple attempts were made to contact the owner with negative results, he will be mailed Mass Uniform Citation #T1440739 for leaving the scene ( property damage) and marked lane violation.

ON THIS DATE I RESPONDED TO 5 MEADOWBROOK RD, FOR A REPORT OF AN AUTO ACCIDENT (SEE INCIDENT REPORT #19018289). THE CALL WAS RECEIVED FROM THE ENVIRONMENTAL POLICE WHO WERE ON-SCENE. ON-SCENE PRIOR TO MY ARRIVAL WERE CAPTAIN DOWLING AND TRAFFIC SERGEANT LEE. CATALDO MEDIC 2 AND AMBULANCE 1 ARRIVED ON-SCENE, SHORTLY AFTER I DID.

On Thursday, May 16th 2019, at approximately 6:40am, I, Officer Brooks, responded to 930 Watertown street for a report of a head on collision. Upon my arrival I spoke with the operator of MV1(MA REG RT91EL) who stated she was traveling westbound on Watertown street and "blacked out" and could not recall how the accident happened. I asked what she meant about blacking out, and she stated she thought she had a panic attack and may have passed out. The operator of MV1 stated she takes Lorazepam for panic attacks, but has never had one like this. MV1 had heavy front end damage and airbag deployment, specifically to the driver's side. The operator was uninjured. I then spoke with the operator of MV2(RI COM 81082) who stated he was traveling eastbound on Watertown street, and observed MV1 crossing over the center line. The operator of MV2 stated he tried to get out of the way but MV1 continued into his lane and struck him head on. MV2 had damage to the drivers side front end. The operator stated that he was suffering from shoulder pain to his right shoulder. The operator of MV2 was transported to Newton Welleseley by Cataldo. Both MV1 and MV2 were towed by Tody's due to the damage. As a result of the collision, MV2 rolled into parked a vehicle MV3(MA REG 315PW6). There was minor damage to the rear end of MV3. The owner was notified and provided the crash information. The operator of MV1 was mailed MA Uniform citation T1442362 for 89/4a Marked Lanes violation, and additionally based on her statement of passing out at the wheel I filed an immediate threat with the registry.

On 5/20/19 at about 1510hrs I was dispatched to 136 Evelyn Rd for an MVA. En route to the location with Ofc Gourdeau, it was determined by first arriving Ofc Gourdeau that a vehicle had crashed through a fence at the end of Troy Lane and came to rest in the backyard of 126 Evelyn Rd. On arrival, I located the vehicle operator, identified as Mr Stuart Phillips who was operating MA Reg 8VVP40, an '03 Jaguar S Type model. Mr Phillips was walking around the backyard after the collision and appeared coherent as to what had transpired. He sustained a laceration to the top of his head and was bleeding heavily. We sat him down in a lawn chair prior to medics arrival to evaluate. When asked what happened, he stated he "hit the gas instead of the brakes". I asked him where did the accident begin? He stated he was turning around at the end of Troy Lane (a dead end cul de sac) and crashed through the fence there. Mr Phillips was alert and speaking clearly. I asked him if he was on any medication? He stated he was taking Plavix only, a blood thinner. I asked about his medical history and he stated he was released from Spalding Rehab today for treatment from a stroke and was receiving occupational therapy. Medics arrived to evaluate and he was transported to NWH for treatment. An investigation of the crash path of the vehicle revealed the following based on tire tracks and damage left behind: The vehicle crashed through the fence at the end of the cul de sac belonging to 41A Helene Rd; Vehicle drove over that back lawn, clipped the back deck attached to the rear of the house; damaging the base of the deck and lattice below; Vehicle travelled over the patio, then crashed through shrubbery down an embankment leading to the backyard of 132 Evelyn Rd; Vehicle drove through backyard of 132 Evelyn, then continued along the side of the house where it drove over damaging three retaining walls and clipped a large tree; After driving over the third retaining wall, vehicle continued through the backyard of 126 Evelyn, causing significant lawn damage; Vehicle continued until it hit the back of the house at 126 Evelyn; there, it drove over the rear patio before it struck a ground level basement window and window well; It came to a rest there where the vehicle caught on fire under the hood. Witnesses helped extinguish the fire with a garden house (see incident report #19020129) until NFD arrived to knock it down. Significant front lawn damage to 126 Evelyn occurred as well as NFD was arriving on scene to what was first reported as a structure fire. Several photos of the area were taken by myself. The memory chip was TOT the I.T. bureau to be attached to this report. Tody's towing towed the vehicle out of the backyard by accessing the rear driveway of 132 Evelyn Rd. Mr Phillips cited for Negligent Operation and an Immediate Threat for License Suspension/Revocation faxed to the RMV. Troy Lane is a public way in the City of Newton.

On Sunday, August 22, 2021, I was contacted by Sgt. M. Wade of the Newton Police Traffic Bureau at 0032 hours. Sgt. Wade stated a serious motor vehicle crash occurred on Washington Street in Newton and it involved a City of Newton marked police cruiser (N494). Sgt. Wade stated Officer Katelyn Pohlman and the operator of the other vehicle involved were transported to the hospital with potential serious injuries. I was requested by Sgt. Wade to respond to the scene from my residence and investigate the crash further. On arrival at the scene, I observed the two vehicles involved in the crash to be a 2015 Ford Explorer (MA: 586RT7) and Newton Police marked unit N494 (MA MVN: MP494B). These vehicles were observed disabled on the roadway in front of 612 Washington Street, Newton. There was a large debris field comprised of various parts from both vehicles on the roadway and in the parking lot of 612 Washington Street. The road surface at the time of my arrival was wet and there was light rain falling. Sgt. Wade reported that at the time of the crash the road was completely dry and it had not started to rain yet. Washington Street is a public way maintained by the City of Newton. The portion of Washington Street where the crash took place supports two- way travel, Eastbound and Westbound. There are two travel lanes in both directions. Travel direction is divided by a double yellow line in the middle of the roadway. The area is well lit and features numerous light poles illuminating the roadway. The closest intersection to this location is Crafts Street just west of the crash location. MV1 (MA: 586RT7) had substantial front-end damage, especially to its front passenger side and was inoperable. I observed this vehicle at its final rest on the roadway with its front end facing Northbound on Washington Street just over the double yellow line in the middle of the roadway. The front and side impact airbags had deployed inside the vehicle as a result of the collision. I did not observe anything hanging inside the vehicle that would have obstructed the view of the operator prior to the collision. MV1 was removed from the roadway by Tody's Towing. MV2 (MA MVN: MP494B) had substantial front end damage and was inoperable. The impact from the collision caused the vehicle to spin uncontrolled and the final rest, with the front end of the vehicle facing the front entrance to the 7-11 (S). The vehicle's final rest was on the sidewalk in front of 612 Washington Street. The front and side impact airbags had deployed inside the vehicle as a result of the collision. I did not observe anything hanging inside the vehicle that would have obstructed the view of the operator prior to the collision. MV2 was removed from the roadway by Tody's Towing. The Officer involved in the crash is Officer Katelyn Pohlman. Officer Pohlman stated she was operating Newton Police marked unit N494 on Washington Street (E) past Crafts Street. Officer Pohlman stated as she was operating her vehicle past 612 Washington Street (7-11), a vehicle in the westbound lane of Washington Street abruptly crossed the double yellow line in the roadway and entered her travel lane head-on. Officer Pohlman stated she did not have an opportunity to react to the vehicle in front of her and the front passenger side of MV1 crashed into the front end of her vehicle (MV2). Officer Pohlman sustained injuries to her left forehead area and both of her arms. Officer Pohlman was later transported to Brigham and Women's Hospital for evaluation and was released a short time later. It was reported to me by numerous Officers on scene that Officer Pohlman exited her cruiser after the crash and rather than tend to her own injuries, she focused her efforts on rendering aid to the operator of the other vehicle involved. Officer Pohlman found the operator of the other vehicle lying on the floor of the front passenger seat under the dash. Officer Pohlman rendered aid to the operator while waiting for Newton Medics to arrive. Officer Pohlman was also assisted in rendering aid to the other operator by Officer Conary and Officer Larson. Officer Larson reported that while interacting with the operator of MV1, the operator repeated numerous times, "Is she ok? Is she ok?". Officer Larson also stated the operator said to him "I feel bad because I was texting on my phone". Officer Larson stated the operator of MV1 works for the Department of Corrections Special Operations Unit and has Department issues equipment inside the vehicle. The following items were placed into Support Services, locker 9 for safekeeping by Officer Larson: 1 Gray Pelican Gun Case, 1 Black Gun Belt, 1 Taser, 1 Can OC Spray, 15 (50) Round Cases Of Ammunition. The operator of MV1 (MA: 586RT7) was identified as Mr. David Cafarelli (S16965940). Mr. Cafarelli was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital for a potential head injury before my arrival. I spoke with Mr. Cafarelli at Newton Wellesley Hospital in the Emergency Room with Sgt. Wade. Mr. Cafarelli's mother and father were present when we spoke with him. Mr. Cafarelli stated he was out with friends before the crash and was driving to the 7-11 on Washington Street. Mr. Cafarelli admitted that before the crash, he had his cell phone in his hand while he was operating his vehicle. Mr. Cafarelli stated he does not remember if he was texting or changing the music on his phone at the time of the crash. Mr. Cafarelli stated he looked up and was unable to avoid the vehicle (N494) directly in front of him. Mr. Cafarelli stated he also does not believe he applied his brakes before the collision. When we spoke with Mr. Cafarelli in the Emergency Room, he was still waiting for test results to determine the severity of his injuries. On Monday, August 23, 2021, Sgt. Wade responded to 612 Washington Street, Newton to retrieve surveillance footage from the 7-11 of the crash. 7-11 stated their outside surveillance system was not operating correctly, but they were able to capture some of the incident from a camera inside the store. I observed this footage. MV1 is observed traveling on Washington Street (W) in the westbound travel lane in front of the storefront. MV1's driver side is then observed traveling over the double yellow line in the middle of the roadway and into the eastbound lane of Washington Street. A head on collision ensues and MV1 can be seen rotating counterclockwise in the roadway backwards to its final rest location on Washington Street. MV2 is then observed at its final rest position on the sidewalk facing southbound in front of the 7-11 storefront. After completing my investigation, I have surmised the following. Mr. Cafarelli was operating his 2015 Ford Explorer (MA: 586RT7) in the area of 612 Washington Street, Newton. Mr. Cafarelli was holding his cell phone in his hand while operating his vehicle. Mr. Cafarelli became distracted while he was operating his vehicle due to his attention being focused on his cell phone. Mr. Cafarelli traveled over the double yellow line from the westbound lane of Washington Street and entered the eastbound lane of Washington Street. Newton Police marked unit N494 was traveling on Washington Street (E) in the area of 612 Washington Street at this time. Mr. Cafarelli's vehicle crashed into the front end of Newton Police marked unit N494. Mr. Cafarelli was not wearing a seatbelt and as a result of the impact from the crash, he was ejected from the driver seat and his final rest inside the vehicle was in the flood of the front passenger seat. As a result of my investigation, Mr. Cafarelli was issued Massachusetts Uniform Citation for Chapter 90, Section 13B (Hands-Free Violation), Chapter 89, Section 4a (Marked Lanes Violation), and Chapter 90, Section 13a (Seat Belt Violation). Photos from the crash scene and the surveillance media from 7-11 capturing the crash were submitted to the IT Bureau.

Vehicle 1 was travelling northbound, behind vehicle 2 on Centre St. Vehicle 2 went around vehicle 1, in order to get into the left hand lane, which started up ahead. Vehicle 2 changed into the left hand lane with no blinker, while vehicle 1 was already in it. I observed moderate damage to the front drivers side of vehicle 2, and minor damage to the passenger side of vehicle 1. Newton medics evaluated all parties, and cleared with refusals. Todys towed vehicle 1 because of the fact that it was unregistered. A Massachusetts uniform citation (T2080110), was issued in hand to the operator of vehicle 1. See incident report #21039072, for criminal charges. Witness 1 was travelling behind vehicle 2, and has the accident on video. He was advised to email this to me, which I will have attached to the accident report.

Witnesses at the scene informed me that MV#1 was traveling west on Commonwealth Ave in the area of #2102 when MV#2, who was traveling east on Commonwealth Ave in the same area crossed the yellow line and crashed into MV#1. The operator of MV#1 was upset and sitting in MV#1 when I interviewed her and only stated that her left hip hurt. Operator #1 refused medical treatment at that time and wanted to wait for her mother to arrive before making any decisions. The operator of MV#2 stated that he was traveling east on Commonwealth Ave in the area of #2102 in the left hand lane when a pedestrian appeared in the roadway. According to operator #2, he cut his steering wheel to the left to avoid the pedestrian and struck MV#1. No tows and only a minor injury to the operator of MV#1, though she did not want to be evaluated by the medics. Two independent witnesses to the crash gave me similar statements that operator #2 had driven on the wrong side of the road prior to the crash and was operating at a high rate of speed. Operator #2 cited for failure to obey signage. Only after I completed this report, was I notified by Cheryl Petitti, the mother of Marisa Petitti that Marisa was not operating MV#1 at the time of the crash and that she may have been struck by MV#2. I re-interviewed both witnesses and they confirmed that Marisa was in fact the pedestrian crossing the street, which I did not know, but they did not witness her being struck by MV#2 due to their view being obstructed. Cheryl Petitti also states that she was contacted by another witness, who had left prior to my arrival, that has information to provide. At this time I will notify the Traffic Bureau of a possible Auto Pedestrian to be further investigated.

The operator of MV1 stated he was traveling North on North street when he didn't see MV2 parked on the right hand side, facing north bound and struck the rear driver side of the vehicle. After striking MV2, MV1 crossed into the south bound lane, where it stopped. The airbags deployed and the operator was checked out by the medics and he signed a refusal. Both vehicles were un operable and the vehicles were towed from the scene. MV2 was unoccupied during the accident. The operator of MV1 was given a criminal citation in hand, T2014955, for the following charges, 90/10 Operating MV without a license, 90/9 Unregistered motor vehicle, and 90/34J.

On 01/03/22 at approximately 1617 hours Officer Robert March and I, Officer Whitney Hyde, were assigned to N499 when we were dispatched to a 2 car MVA at 160 Needham St with no injuries. Both vehicles were waiting in the parking lot. On location I made contact with the operator of Vehicle 1, identified as Samantha LERNER. LERNER stated that the had been travelling southbound on Needham St and stopped in the center left turn lane to turn into the Farm Grill. When it was clear to turn, LERNER began to turn left when Vehicle 2 passed her on the left and made contact with the driver side front quarter panel of Vehicle 1. I observed scrapes and minor damage to Vehicle 1's front bumper and driver side front wheel rim. LERNER stated that the operator of Vehicle 2, later identified as Leanna LANDE, exited her vehicle at the time of the accident and exclaimed that her dog was dying and she was headed to the animal hospital down the road and they could exchange information there. LERNER proceeded to the animal hospital and was waiting for LANDE to come back out. I then entered the animal hospital and made contact with LANDE. LANDE was extremely upset as her 7 week old puppy had just died. LANDE stated that she had been in a panic because of her dying dog and passed LERNER when she shouldn't have, stating it was "stupid." Outside of the animal hospital I observed Vehicle 2 had minor damage along the length of the passenger side, including scrapes with white paint transfer. I issued LANDE MA Uniform Citation #T1448086 in hand for 89/4A Marked Lanes violation and explained the payment and appeal process. LANDE stated she understood. I provided LANDE and LERNER with the accident number and facilitated their exchange of information before clearing without further incident.

MV1 stated he was travelling "slow" down California St when a "black truck (MV2) tried to pass me, hit my bumper forcing me to hit that parked car" (MV3). No reported injuries. A canvass for MV2 was conducted yielding negative results. Both MV1 & MV3 sustained significant damage and were removed from the scene by Todys. The owner of MV1 was cited with the following: M.G.L. 90/24B Altering Forging Documents M.G.L. 90/9 Unregistered M/V M.G.L 90/34J Uninsured M/V

The owner of MV1 was inside the Shaking Crab located at 203 Adams street when he came outside and observed damage to the drivers side of his parked vehicle. A good Samaritan witnessed the accident and stated to him, a SUV struck the reporting parties vehicle and took off. The witness took video of the accident. I watched the video and observed the SUV hit MV1 with the passenger side of the vehicle and then brake and continued southbound on Adams st. The witness got a registration of MA reg 2BZH27 and told the owner of MV1 that a female was operating the vehicle. Dispatch attempted to contact the owner of the vehicle yielding negative results and unable to leave a voicemail. A text message was sent to the owner to contact NPD from the dispatch cell phone. MV1 had damage to the driver side doors and mirror. A voicemail was left for the witness. I forwarded a video of the accident and photo of the vehicle to IT to be added to the report. As of now the owner of MV2 is listed as "uninvolved owner" under persons "2" until the accident is further investigated and until contact is made with the owner to determine who was operating the vehicle. Charges pending. Traffic Bureau update (Officer Gaudet): On March 11, 2022, I reviewed the dash camera footage submitted to the IT Bureau by Officer Stake. The footage shows a dark colored SUV vear off to the right side of the roadway on Adams Street. The vehicle's front passenger side crashes into the driver side of a parked vehicle in front of 203 Adams Street (S). As the witness drives by where the crash occured, the footage from their camera pans over to the parked vehicle and shows damage to it's driver side. The footage then resumes facing Southbound on Adams Street and the fleeing vehicle continues Southbound on Adams Street towards Washginton Street and does not stop. The vehicle is idenitified by a still photo submitted by the witness as a 2016 Kia Sportage bearing Massachusetts registration 2BZH27. This vehicle is registed to Ms. Jennifer Mc Quiggan (S30952065). I contacted Ms. Mc Quiggan and asked about her vehicles involvement in the crash on March 10, 2022. Ms. Mc Quiggan stated she was operating the vehicle at the time of the crash on Adams Street and thought she hit a snow bank. I advised Ms. Mc Quiggan that I had just finsihed reviewing the footage of the crash that was submitted by a witness and it shows her vehicle vearing off of the road and crashing into a parked vehicle. After reviewing the footage of the crash and obtaining an admission by Ms. Mc Quiggan that she was operating MV2 at the time of the crash, I issued Ms. Mc Quiggan Massachusetts Uniform Citation 328660AB for Chapter 90, Section 24 (Leaving the Scene of Property Damage) and Chapter 89, Section 4A (Marked Lanes Violation). Adams Street is a public way maintained by the City of Newton.

On 03/20/222, I responded to Washington Street @ Hovey St for a 2 car MV accident. Upon arrival I spoke with the operator of MV 1, who stated that she was on the left lane on Washington St waiting to turn left onto Hovey street. She stated that the oncoming vehicles stopped for her to turn left on Hovey St when MV2 swerved around the vehicles and crashed into her causing major damage to the center front and right side of the MV. The operator of MV1 stated that she had a dash cam that caught the whole accident on video and they she would provide the video so I can view it. I then spoke to the operator of MV2, who stated that he was driving in far right lane Westbound on Washington St when the operator of MV1 turned left and hit him causing major damage to the center front and left side of the vehicle. He stated that he had the right of way and that there were no cars in front him which is why he continued driving straight. He also stated that he did nothing wrong and that he was following the speed limit. The operator of MV1 was able to send the dash cam footage from the accident. Based on my observations the video was consistent with the statement that operator of MV1 gave. In the video it is clear that MV1 had the right of way to make the left turn onto Hovey St. The operator of MV2 was mailed Mass Uniform Citation T1445888 fir M.G.L 89 4A Marked Lanes violation. I am mailing the citation due to the fact the that operator of MV2 had left the scene already. Medics arrived on scene and a patient refusal was signed. Todys arrived on scene and took possession of both motor vehicles.

Mv#1 operator stated he turned left from Hamlet St onto Langley Rd S/B. #1 continued travel on Langley Rd S/B and veered right off the road and struck a city tree head on in front of 335 Langley. Operator stated he briefly blacked out for unknown reasons prior to the collision. Operator was evaluated by medics and signed a patient refusal. Operator was conscious and alert. No reported operator medical problems. No citation issued at this time. Tody's towed #1 with heavy front end damage. City Forestry arrived and inspected the tree.

On April 9th 2022, at approximately 0038hrs, while assigned to cruiser N494, I, Officer Dragone, along with Officer Stake (N491) and Sgt. Brooks (N505) responded to the area of 196 Tremont St (public way in the City of Newton) for a report of a motor vehicle accident. Dispatch reported that the reporting party's vehicle was hit while it was parked in front of his address, and the operator of the other vehicle exchanged partial information and then left the scene. Upon arrival, I observed a blue Honda Accord bearing Massachusetts Registration: 1TDF63 (Vehicle 1) parked on the side of the road, blocking the driveway to 196 Tremont St. The vehicle had heavy damage along the driver's side of the vehicle and back left tire was pushed into the wheel well. In front of 190 Tremont St, I also observed a black BMW 528 bearing Massachusetts Registration: 1FDB38 ( Vehicle 2) with heavy damage along the passenger side of the vehicle and the front right wheel was completely detached from the axel. All the airbags in the vehicle were deployed, and it appeared that vehicle 2 was traveling Eastbound on Tremont St when it crashed into vehicle 1 at an angle. It should be noted that there were multiple deep scratches/dents on the hood, roof, and drivers side panels of vehicle 2 that were not consistent with the crash that just occurred; which indicates the operator was in multiple accidents prior to this one. Pro-tech Towing was also on scene to tow vehicle 2. I then spoke to the owner of vehicle 1, Ryan Desrosiers, who stated that his vehicle was parked on the side of the road when he heard a crash outside at approximately 2345hrs. Mr. Desrosiers stated when he went outside, he discovered his vehicle pushed in front of his driveway, approximately 10-15 feet from where he parked it, and the operator of vehicle 2 standing outside. Mr. Desrosiers stated when he spoke to the operator, he smelled like alcohol and had slurred speech. The operator, later identified as, Benjamin Wadsworth, told Mr. Desrosiers that he was "coming from in town" and "probably should have taken a Lyft tonight." When Mr. Desrosiers tried to exchange information, Mr. Wadsworth took Mr. Desrosiers' phone number and then texted him a link to a generic RMV website. Mr. Desrosiers then said Mr. Wadsworth called a tow company for his vehicle and insisted on paying out of pocket tomorrow for the damage to Mr. Desrosiers' vehicle but told him if he wanted he could call his insurance company. According to Mr. Desrosiers, Mr. Wadsworth then walked Eastbound on Tremont St towards Brighton. It should be noted that Mr. Wadsworth did not provide his name, address, or insurance company to Mr. Desrosiers prior to leaving. I had dispatch run a query on vehicle 2 (MA Reg: 1FDB38) and it came back registered to Benjamin Wadsworth out of 13 Charmane Rd East Falmouth, Massachusetts. While speaking with Mr. Desrosiers, the driver of the tow truck called Mr. Wadsworth cell phone to notify him that he was not going to be towing his vehicle. I was then able to get on the phone and speak with him, and he identified himself as Benjamin Wadsworth and admitted to being involved in the accident that just occurred. When I asked Mr. Wadsworth his location because I was concerned for his well-being due to the severity of the crash and airbag deployment, he stated he was at his apartment in Brighton. When I asked for the address of his apartment, he refused to give it to me and stated he was fine. I stated to Mr. Wadsworth that because he only gave limited information and then left the area that he could be charged with Leaving the scene of a collision, to which he replied, "I am in law school you can see the books in the back of my car, you can't do that, you have my plate, he can look that information online." When asked about having an address out of Falmouth, Mr. Wadsworth stated he has two addresses because he attends school in the area. It should be noted that while speaking with Mr. Wadsworth on the phone, his speech was slurred, slow, and dilerbrate, consistent with being intoxicated. Tody's towing arrived on scene and took possession of Mr. Wadsworth's vehicle. I then tried a second time to speak with Mr. Wadsworth via a phone call to get him to agree to a well-being check. Mr. Wadsworth, again, refused to provide me with his address in Brighton, insisting he was fine. Although Mr. Wadsworth sounded intoxicated, he did not sound injured and was coherent when answering my questions. Due to Benjamin Wadsworth operating recklessly, knowingly getting into a collision causing property damage, not providing his name, not providing his address, and leaving the scene, I am issuing him Massachusetts Uniformed Citation T1445620 for the following: MGL.
