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.

On Wednesday, February 13, 2019 while assigned to Traffic unit N525, I responded to the 280 Newtonville Avenue, Newton for a report of a past hit and run accident. I met with Madeleine Aubourg (S67566148) who stated she is a Nursing Assistant at Cabot Park Village. Aubourg stated due to the snowfall the area had the previous day, Aubourg left her vehicle parked (S) in the rear parking lot overnight. Aubourg stated this morning when she returned to work she observed damage to the front bumper area of her 2018 Toyota Camry (MA: 6AN179). Aubourg stated she believes sometime overnight when the parking lot was being plowed a plow truck hit the front of her vehicle. I observed moderate damage to the front bumper area. I spoke with Adolfo Merida-Diaz (S44133458) on scene who stated he is employed by Marquense Landscaping and is responsible for the snow removal at 280 Newtonville Avenue. Merida-Diaz stated last evening and this morning he removed snow from the parking lot and did not make contact with any vehicles in the parking lot during his duties. I showed Merida-Diaz where the alleged accident occurred. Merida-Diaz stated he does not remember a car being parked in that particular spot, but if there was a car parked there he leaves enough room so he is not near any vehicles. I did not observe any surveillance cameras in this portion of the parking lot. There are no witnesses to the alleged accident. Aubourg was advised to speak with her insurance company.

Operator of MV#1 stated he was travelling in the left lane on Washington St when he was hit by MV#2. MV#1 sustained passenger front and side damage. Operator of MV#2 stated he was in the right lane behind a stopped truck. He began to "inch out" to go around the truck and collided with MV#1. MV#2 sustained damage to the front drivers side. Both cars were driven from the scene.

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.

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*

MV#1 stated while traveling westbound on Commonwealth Ave he closed his eyes for a few moments causing his vehicle to veer to the right. MV#1 drove up on the curb and struck a overhanging street light. MV#1 sustained heavy front end damage as well as uprooting the overhanging street light. Operator of MV#1 stated he had minor injuries and signed a patient refusal. Operator of MV#1 was given the following roadside tests, due to the time and circumstances of the incident. Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus - Pass One Leg Stand - Pass Walk And Turn - Pass Operator of MV#1 showed no signs of impairment. Through my training and experience I calculated MV#1 had speeds of approximately +50MPH. Tody's towed the MV, a towed MV inventory form was completed. Pictures taken on scene submitted to IT.

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.

The operator of MV#1 stated that he was traveling east on Washington St in the right hand lane in front of #1232 Washington St when his MV was struck by MV#2, who was also traveling east on Washington St in the left bound lane. The female operator of MV#2 pulled over initially, but then left the area. Operator #1 took a photograph of MV#2 and reports a female was operating Ma. Reg. 5HW272, a Toyt. Highlander. Mansfield PD notified and will have owner of MV#2 contact me.

On Wednesday April 10th, 2019 at approximately 0755 hours I responded to the area of Centre Street and Washington Street for two car motor vehicle accident involving a Newton school bus with children on board. Centre Street and Washington Street are both public ways in the City of Newton. At the time of the accident the weather was cloudy with light rain. The road conditions were fairly dry. I spoke to the operator of MV1 identified as Julie Lym (S16060051) who stated she was traveling northbound on Washington Street onto the Centre Street bridge. MV1 stated she was attempting to cut across lanes to merge on to the Mass Pike Westbound. MV1 stated traffic was at a standstill and she saw an opening to change lanes.

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.

Inside the vehicle were 'Five Star Moving' logs indicating that Aguilar works at 95 Adams St. The route Aguilar would take home from his employer's address to his house in Chelsea would take him past the crash location. Chelsea PD was contacted to check on Aguilar's wellbeing. Ofc. Serrano of CPD located Aguilar in his apartment taking a shower. He appeared intoxicated with redness on his nose and face. Aguilar stated his car was stolen and he had no idea why it would be in Newton. Chelsea PD's wellbeing check was performed over a half hour after the accident and, according to GPS, Aguilar's home is 14 minutes from the crash location. Dispatch contacted Uber and Lyft to inquire if Aguilar was picked up in the area of the crash. There are also surveillance cameras outside of Honda Village across from the crash. Charges are pending further investigation of the ride-share info and surveillance footage. Pictures of the damage to the city pole and vehicle were emailed to IT. Tody's responded and towed the vehicle. Washington St. is a public way maintained by the City of Newton.
