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.

MV1 was parked in the parking stall in front of Tender Greens. An unknown vehicle struck the rear quarter panel of MV1 causing minor paint damage. MV1 was parked from approximately 1645, until approximately 1842 when police were dispatched. No tows were needed and no injuries were recorded. There is a camera directly in front of the vehicles. I spoke to Andy McWilliams (617-405-8400) at Tender Greens who stated the footage would be available for at least two weeks, however was unable to retrieve it at this time.

Operator of vehicle #1 stated he was attempting to park his vehicle in a parking spot. Operator #1 stated that he hit the gas instead of the brake and drove over a handicap sign that was cemented into the ground. Vehicle #1 then drove over a flower bed before making light contact with the brick parking garage wall. An immediate threat form was filled out by me and faxed to the RMV. Also on scene was Mr. Dan Pham, public safety Officer for Wegmans. There were no injuries. Vehicle #1 was towed by Tody's.

On Wednesday 6/23/21 at approx 0922hrs, while assigned to N495, I responded to 1314 Centre St, Holly's Cleaners, for a single car MVA into a building. There I met the operator of MV1, Ellen Silver, who stated she was just pulling into the parking lot when she stepped on the brakes but the car did not stop. MV1 made contact with the building damaging a wall and breaking a window. Newton City Inspector Jeff Johnson arrived on scene and deemed the building to be safe. Medics evaluated the operator who signed a refusal. Pictures were taken by Off. Wilson. Vehicle was towed by Tody's.

Operator of Motor Vehicle #1 stated that he was traveling Northbound toward the exit of the main entrance of Newton Wellesley Hospital. The operator stated that there was a truck parked in the fire lane on the right side which caused him to slightly cross over the other side of the road. The operator then stated that the road was on a bend and realized that motor vehicle #2 was approaching on the opposite side of the road and was not stopping. The operator stated that he realized that motor vehicle #2 was not going to fit and stopped the vehicle. operator of Motor Vehicle #1 stated that Motor vehicle #2 drove into his vehicle causing minor damage. Operator of Motor Vehicle #2 stated she was driving Southbound on the main entrance road of Newton Wellesley towards the Emergency entrance and realized that the rear end of the 18 wheeler was in her lane and she was trying to veer to the right to avoid the truck however was unable to. Motor vehicle # 2 sustained minor damage to the front drivers side pillar and drivers side mirror.

On September 9, 2021 at approximately 10:56 hours I,Officer Guarino, responded to 79 Florence St for a report of a single vehicle crash into a gate and pole. Upon arrival, I observed MV1 with heavy front end damage crashed against a brick structure that holds the iron gate of the property. The gate was detached from the structure and on the sidewalk. The operator of MV1 told me that she was driving northbound towards Florence St when she observed a UPS truck entering the property. Operator of MV1 thought the UPS truck entered her lane of travel and swerved to the right which caused her to crash into the gate and brick structure. The operator of the UPS truck was on scene and had no damage on his vehicle. Multiple witnesses observed the crash who said that the UPS truck was traveling slow and stayed within its lane of travel. A witness said that the operator of MV1 was "flying" through the parking lot and swerved into the gate and structure. I observed the video footage at 79 Florence St where you can see MV1 traveling through the parking lot and it appeared that the UPS truck had already entered the property when MV1 took the corner and MV1 drove into the gate and Brick structure. I emailed the property manager to have the footage emailed to me, so I can attach it to this report. Witnesses, Rich (781)351-0172 and Mario (615) 981-4890 left their information with the UPS driver but I was unable to make contact. The witness I spoke with on scene wanted to remain anonymous.
