Narrative:
On Friday, September 13, 2019 at approximately 16:19 hours, while assigned to N496, I responded to 162 Warren St. for a report that two boys were hit by a car earlier in the day. Once on scene I spoke with Wes Moore and Luca Toro (both attend Oak Hill Middle School), as well as their mothers Jamie Moore and Alyssa Toro. Wes and Luca explained that at about 15:15 hours, they were crossing at the crosswalk adjacent to the Bank of America in Newton Centre (808 Beacon Street), heading towards the Newton Centre municipal parking lot. The boys stated that as they crossed a large van, which was traveling westbound on Beacon Street in the left turn lane, stopped to let them cross. Wes and Luca stated that they did not realize that there was another westbound travel lane, and after passing the truck they were both hit by an unknown sedan. Wes and Luca stated that the driver, who they described as an approximately 50 year old white female, got out of her car and started yelling at them to be careful. Wes and Luca stated that the unknown female operator checked to see if they were hurt and then left the area heading westbound on Beacon Street. Wes and Luca stated that they both fell to the ground as a result of being hit by the unknown motor vehicle, but only sustained minor injuries. I offered to have an ambulance respond to evaluate Wes and Luca, however, Mrs. Moore and Mrs. Toro declined. I advised the boys and their mothers that I would be documenting this incident with a crash report, and that I would head to the area to see if Bank of America had and cameras facing the crosswalk, so that we could hopefully identify the operator of the unknown motor vehicle. I then responded to the Bank of America, however, the bank was closed for the day. Supplement by Officer Ferguson: On Monday 09/16/2019 at approximately 0900 hours I responded to the Bank of America and spoke with the employees who stated they do not have any cameras that record the street or sidewalk areas. The camera they have only records the front door and lobby area.

Narrative:
At approximately 2250HRs on Friday, December 13, 2019, I was dispatched to the area of 275 Washington St. for a report of a hit and run crash; Newton Officers and a State Police Officer canvassed the area with negative results. Upon speaking with the operator of MV1 (MA Pass:1CTB36), he stated that he was traveling Westbound on Washington St., when he observed a black Honda mini van or SUV, MV2, approach him in his passenger's side mirror and then attempt to enter his lane of travel, striking the rear of MV1. Upon speaking with the two witnesses who were traveling behind MV1 and MV2, they concurred with the operator of MV1's account. The witnesses described MV2 as a black Honda or Toyota mini van or SUV. I observed damage to the right rear quarter panel, trunk area and right rear tire of MV1. Todys Services arrived and took custody of MV1. I filled an NPD Towed Motor Vehicle Form. **Update as of 1800HRs on 12/15/2019** I was made aware that the operator of MV2 in this incident, now identified as MA Pass: 8HD155, submitted a Commonwealth of Massachusetts Motor Vehicle Crash Operator Report on 12/14/2019. In said report, the operator admits to striking MV1 and stated that he pulled over on Peabody St., where he remained for approximately 15 minutes awaiting MV1. When MV1 did not arrive, the operator of MV2 attempted to drive away, but realized the damage was too severe and returned to the same spot on Peabody St. I viewed MV2 at Clay Auto Body and observed damage to its left fender/wheel well area, as well as a deployed passenger's side airbag. Upon speaking with the operator of MV2, he reiterated the same information he stated in the above summary of his Commonwealth of Massachusetts Motor Vehicle Crash Operator Report. In the presence of his parents, I advised him on the proper steps to take when involved in an accident, such as the proper exchange of information and the potential ramifications of not doing so. Due to the operator of MV2 being 17 years old, being issued his driver's license 9 months ago and his evident remorse/confusion surrounding the incident, I will not be seeking any charges. I updated the operator of MV1 and provided both parties with an NPD Crash Data Exchange Form.

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