MV1 (MA Reg: 51JD62, 2007 green Toyota Pruis) operated by Marcia Gittes (DOB 11/29/1948) was traveling Southbound on Walnut St when it collided with a pedestrian in the crosswalk at Walnut St/Foster St. MV1 collided with a man, later identified as Jerome Shectman (DOB 10/7/1964). He had an injury to the back of his head, right hand, left shoulder and lower spine and was transported to Beth Israel Hospital. Witness, Patrick Clare-O'Brien saw the crash take place. He stated that the pedestrian, Jerome was crossing in the crosswalk traveling Westbound towards Foster St, successfully passed through the lane where vehicles were traveling Northbound on Walnut St and was then hit by the Toyota Prudish in the lane going Southbound. Jerome was already halfway through the crosswalk at this point. It was dark, but there was a streetlight directly over this crosswalk on Walnut St creating a semi-lit area for visibility. Mrs. Gittes stated that she didn't see him because he was wearing dark clothing and it was dark outside. She saw him when it was too late. There was no damage to her vehicle. Mrs. Gittes was given a monetary citation (T0646789) for 89/11 Crosswalk Violation. pictures were taken at the scene and the photo SD card was sent to IT.

Schectman stated he was attempting to cross Walnut Street east to west towards Foster Street. Schectman stated he entered the crosswalk after observing no cars traveling towards him in the Northbound lane of Walnut Street. Schectman stated he began walking across the street and stopped in the middle of Walnut Street after observing 2 vehicles traveling towards him in the Southbound lane. Schectman stated as the first vehicle went by, he stared at it as it traveled past him and down the street. Schectman stated as he looked back at the second car it was traveling right at him and he was unable to get out of the way. Schectman stated the vehicle hit him on his right side.

On Saturday, January 12th 2019, at approximately 4:12pm, I, Officer Brooks, responded to a single vehicle accident in the area of Cherry street and Derby street, both of which are public ways in the city of Newton. Upon arrival in the area I observed the fire department off with MV1(MA REG 9PAK20), in front of 171 Cherry street. The vehicle had a fire hydrant lodged under the front axle, and front end damage. The fire department was attempting to wake the operator who was unresponsive. The fire department ended up administering 2 doses of Narcan to the operator before he became responsive. The operator was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital by Cataldo for further evaluation. Based on the accident scene, it appears the operator was traveling southbound on Cherry street, crossed over the center line into oncoming traffic, striking the fire hydrant in front of 154 Cherry street, and then crossed back over into the correct lane of traffic before coming to rest in front of 171 Cherry street. The vehicle was towed by Tody's towing, and an inventory form was filled out and filed.

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.

On 10/16/2019 I took a motor vehicle Hit and Run report at the front desk of NPD Headquarters. The owner of Vehicle 1 states that on 10/15/2019 at approximately 1600hrs Vehicle 1 was parked an unoccupied facing southbound in a parking space of the Elm St Municipal Parking Lot 100 Elm St. Vehicle 1 was then struck by Vehicle 2 who was pulling out of an adjacent parking spot. As a result of the impact Vehicle 1 sustained minor damage to the passenger side rear bumper. Vehicle 2 left the scene without leaving any identifiable information. No injuries were reported, no vehicles were towed. The owner of Vehicle 1 stated that he found a note on his windshield from an anonymous witness stating Vehicle 1 was struck by a gray Honda CRV MA Reg 665SW5. No other identifying information was included on the note. An RMV query of 665SW5 revealed a registered owner of Marylou Gair of Boston MA. I was unable to obtain any further contact information for Gair. At this time the operator of Vehicle 2 is unknown. This crash report will be forwarded to the Traffic Bureau for further investigation.

MV#1 was parked and unoccupied at the time of the crash. The operator of MV#2 stated that she was attempting to back out of a parking space in front of #339 Lexington St when she accidently stepped on the gas instead of the brake. MV#2 then struck MV#1 causing significant damage to the front of MV#1. No tows, no injuries.

Mv#1 was travelling on Beacon St W/B (opposite #808) in the left lane. #1 started passing Mv#2 travelling in the right lane. #1 made a lane change into the right lane colliding with #2. #1 passenger side struck #2 driver's side front end. #1 wedged itself into #2's front end and had to be towed out by Tody's to avoid any more damage. Witness stated she observed #1 make a sudden lane change to the right crashing into the side of #2. #1 cited for 90/14 Improper lane change. Both vehicles could be driven away by the operators.

MV 1 was traveling northbound on Walnut street and struck MV 2 traveling in the opposite direction. MV 2 was traveling southbound on Walnut Street and was struck by MV 1 traveling in the opposite direction. The accident was reported at Walnut St and Beacon St. MV 1 reportedly crossed the double yellow lines into MV 2's lane. There was a BOLO announced over the air for MV 1 because it was reported as leaving the scene. MV 1 was found and stopped at Walnut St at Homer St. It was determined that the operator of MV 1 was under the influence. The operator was placed under arrest. There were no injuries to either party. The children were in MV1. The children were transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital and assessed for possible injuries. Both vehicles were towed by Tody's. MV1 sustained significant damage and was not able to be driven away. The operator would have been aware of the accident based on the level of damage.

On Monday, November 4th, 2019 at approximately 1557 hours I, Officer Newton and Officer Healy responded to the municipal parking lot at 121 Adams St for a motor vehicle accident. Upon arrival I spoke to the operator of vehicle 1. She stated she was sitting in her parked car when vehicle 2 backed out of his spot and struck the front of her car. I observed fresh damage to the driver's side bumper. The operator of vehicle 2 told the operator of vehicle 1 he would be right back. Vehicle 2 then left the parking lot and never returned. It should be noted that this vehicle was involved in another collision after this one. The operator of vehicle 2 stated he did not remember this accident when we asked him. As a result of my investigation, Mr Usher was issued Citation#T2079940 for a violation of M.G.L.Ch.90/24-Leaving the Scene Property Damage. Based on the totality of the circumstances, an Immediate Threat Request was faxed to the RMV, see Incident number 19047444.

Based on observations and statements made, the following occurred. M/V#1 was parked facing south on Chestnut St. awaiting to pull a M/V from an unrelated accident scene, with his yellow hazard light bar activated. A Verizon truck was parked facing north in the northbound lane of Chestnut St. and through traffic was being routed up the westbound side of Amherst St. M/V#2 approached traveling south on Chestnut St., and stopped approx. 100 feet away from M/V#1. It then began to slowly drive up to M/V#1 and attempt to pass between the two parked trucks, at a slow speed, when the right fender of M/V#2 struck the towing rig of M/V#1. The right fender of M/V#2 had damage along the right front wheel well. I was unable to see the extent of the damage to the tow rig. I went to speak to the operator of the M+#2 (who was standing outside to the right of his car) and as I approached him, I observed that he was swaying while standing. I asked the operator (later identified as David Taube-Perrotta) if he was ok, and he only said yeah. I then asked him what had happened, and he just motioned to his car with his right hand. As I stood next to him, I observed his eyes to be glassy and bloodshot. I asked him for his license and registration, and he kept staring towards the car without saying anything. I had to request his license and registration three times before he produced his license from a hip pocket. I then asked again for his registration, and he took approx. five unsteady steps to his passenger side door, opened the door, and almost fell into his car as he bent from the waist. He then stood up, closed the door, and started to return to me, until I told him I needed his registration again. He returned to his door, and again, almost fell into the car as he bent over to open the glove box. As he returned to me he appeared unsteady on his feet. He handed me the registration in a plastic sleeve, and I asked him to remove it from the sleeve. He appeared to have trouble removing the registration. I asked him where he was coming from, he stated that he was coming from Cambridge. I asked where in Cambridge, and he did not reply. I asked him if he had any alcoholic beverages during the evening, he shook his head in an exaggerated manner and stated that he didn't drink tonight. As I spoke more with him, I observed that his speech was slurred. I held my pen up and asked him if he could focus on the tip of pen. Instead of answering he tried to reach out and touch it. I advised him, I just wanted to know if he could focus on it, he stated yes, then raised his finger in an attempt to touch his nose, but instead, touched between his upper lip and nose, then tried to touch the tip of the pen again. I asked him to keep his down, and without moving his head, follow the tip of the pen. As I moved the pen from left to right, he turned his head to follow the pen. I had to remind him several times, to keep his head still, and follow only with his eyes. I asked him if he would be willing to take a field sobriety test, and he declined. I had also observed a small scratch on his forehead, and requested medics to evaluate him. As I took digital pictures of the accident, Taube-Perrotta was seen in the back of a Cataldo Ambulance, while Sgt. Devine observed. When I entered the ambulance, Sgt. Devine informed me that Taube-Perrotta stated that he was at "The Lizzard Lounge" in Cambridge earlier in the evening, and admitted that he had a few drinks. In my presence Taube-Perotta stated that he had two drinks, much earlier in the evening. While in the ambulance, Taube-Perrotta had trouble answering common questions by the medics, such as what his middle name was and where he lived. The operator of M/V#2 was placed under arrest for OUI. (See NPD Incident Report # 19053361)

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.

On Sunday, December 15th 2019, at approximately 3:35am, Officer Donovan and I, Officer Brooks, responded to Washington street at Saint James street, for a report of a single car MVA. Upon our arrival we observed MV1 (MA REG 1GHG66) facing westbound on the sidewalk of Saint James street. The vehicle had heavy damage to the front drivers side door, broken axles, and all of the vehicles airbags had deployed. The operator of the vehicle was sitting outside of the vehicle speaking with MA State Trooper Newman who was on scene prior to my arrival, and had witnessed the accident. Trooper Newman stated MV1 was traveling westbound on Washington street, drove over a traffic island on Saint James street, hit a light post on the sidewalk, and spun sideways off the fence that separates Saint James street from the MA Turnpike. The vehicle then struck a tree and came to rest facing westbound on Saint James street. The vehicle was only occupied by the operator. Medics were called to evaluate the operator and a patient refusal was signed. After being cleared from the medics, Officer Donovan initiated an investigation into the circumstances of the accident, and subsequently placed the operator under arrest for operating a MV under the influence of alcohol. Tody's towing was notified to remove the vehicle due to its inoperability on the sidewalk. Officer Helms took photos of the accident scene which were submitted to the IT bureau. Officer Howes completed a motor vehicle inventory form which has been filed.

Operator #1 was driving w/b on Washington St just past Waltham St when his rear passenger decided to open the passenger side door attempting to exit into traffic causing a crash with vehicle #2. The rear passenger door as it opened struck vehicle #2's passenger side mirror and door as it was passing vehicle #1. Operator #2 reports he was driving W/B on Washington St just passing Waltham St when vehicle #1s rear passenger door opened up into traffic striking his passenger side mirror and door.

MV 1 was traveling Northbound on Park St when she drove off the road and crashed into a telephone pole at 40 Park St. Park St is a public way in Newton.

On Friday December 27th, 2019, at approximately 1348hrs, while assigned to N508 to assist with a funeral escort, I was notified by Dispatch that "MC1" was involved in a crash at the Whole Foods parking lot on Washington Street. Upon arrival I found that Newton Police Motorcycle #1 was involved in a crash while helping to assist a funeral that had just left the Our Lady Church property. Police MC #1 is MA MMC7219, a 2016 Harley Davidson motorcycle. The motorcycle was operated by Officer Rocco Marini. MV #2 was also located on scene and parked in the Whole Food parking lot. 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.

Based on observations, and statements made, the following occurred. The operator of M/V#1 stated that at approx. 21:30 hrs. he parked M/V#1 in a parking lot behind, and parallel to 2011/2013 Chestnut St., in a clearly defined parking spot. M/V#2 appeared to have struck the right rear of M/V#1 pushing it several feet to the left, causing M/V#1's left rear door to impact on a steel balcony support pole (of 2011/2013 Chestnut St. causing damage to M/V#1's left rear door, but no apparent damage to the pole). It appeared that M/V#2 attempted to pull forward, causing damage a long the entire right side of M/V#1, and pushing it a few feet forward, then struck a hand rail causing the hand rail to bend inwards. M/V#2 had left behind a large amount of debris, including MA License Plate Veteran RG9. NPD Dispatch contacted Boston Police (E-5) and requested a unit got to 142 Wren St. Apt/ R1 and make contact with the owner of M/V#2. At approx. 0220 hrs, I contacted BPD (E-5) and was informed that Boston PD confirmed that M/V#2 was at 142 Wren St. with heavy front end damage, missing the front license plate. I was also informed that they made contact with the registered owner and advised him to contact Newton P.D. (See NPD incident report #20003150) After speaking to Robert Godnio, he informed me that his son Wayne Godino had been driving the vehicle on 01/17/2020 at approx. 2100 Hrs. I spoke to Wayne Godino, who stated that someone hit his car behind The Builtmore, and took off, then he left. I advised him that the evidence showed that he struck a parked car. Wayne asked how do you know? there weren't any pieces" I advised him that I recovered the license plate to his fathers car, and he stated "whatever". Charges will be sought for MGL C90 S24 Leaving the scene property damage.

On 3/17/20 while working N493, I responded to the intersection of Auburndale Ave and Newell Rd for an MVA car vs pedestrian. On arrival I located pedestrian Stephen Dugas DOB 8/25/50 sitting in the middle of Newell Rd bleeding profusely from the top of his head, but otherwise consious/alert. The driver of the motor vehicle (MA reg 93Y880) was still on scene. He is identified as Ali Alnamos DOB12/10/59. While the medics were tending to Dugas I obtained a statement from Alnamos. He stated that he was driving on Auburndale Ave towards Lexington St and went to turn right onto Newell Rd. Upon turning, he made contact with the pedestrian with what he believes to be his passenger side mirror. Alnamos was distraught while speaking with me, and told me that he did not see the man. It should be noted that there is a clearly marked pedestrian crosswalk on Newell Rd, right at the location of this accident. There are street lights in the vicinity and Dugas was wearing darker clothing. Medic 2 transported Dugas to St. Elizabeth's due to his head injuy. I responded to the St E's ER Department and spoke with Dugas shortly after he was transported. Dugas reports that he was out for a walk on Auburndale Ave and was heading towards Auburndale Square. He went to cross Newell Rd and was hit by a vehicle shortly after entering the crosswalk. Dugas is not sure what part of the vehicle made contact with him but states that he did not go over the hood. Newell Rd intersects Auburndale Ave only on the westbound side. Several pictures were taken of the scene and have been submitted to IT. I did not observe any damage to the vehicle involved, therefore a tow was not needed. Alnamos stated that he was not in need of medical attention. Due to Dugas' statement at the hospital, I am mailing Alnamos MA citation T2079194 for 89/11 Fail to Yield to Pedestrian in Crosswalk.
