Narrative:
MV1 (2010 Honda Fit; MA Reg: 94CY78) was traveling East on Crafts St, and came to a complete stop signaling to turn left onto Morrill St. MV2 (2015 Ford F250; MA Con: R43023) rear ended MV1, resulting in severe damage to the Honda. No damage was done to MV2. No injuries were reported. MV1 operator, Victoria Thurston, called AAA for a tow. Tody's was called for the Ford F250 due to MV2 operator, Brian Cernabentura's level of intoxication and unlicensed operation of the vehicle. Brian spoke Spanish and a passerby was able to translate some of my questions to him. I asked for identification and if he had been drinking. Brian did not give me any form of identification and he was very unsteady on his feet, glassy and bloodshot eyed. He was taken into custody by myself and booked at headquarters in the usual manner.

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.

Narrative:
On Thursday, December 16, 2021, while assigned to Traffic unit N525, I responded to the area of Crafts Street and Linwood Avenue, Newton for a report of a single car motor vehicle crash with entrapment. The weather at the time of the crash was cloudy. The road surface at the time of the crash was wet. Crafts Street and Linwood Avenue are both public ways in the City of Newton. On my arrival, I observed a 2007 Toyota Rav 4 (MA: 7565LR), facing North in the Northbound lane of Crafts Street past the Linwood Street intersection. The vehicle had extensive damage to it's passenger side and was resting on it's drivers side. The lone occupant, Mr. Frank Distefano (S00385929), was trapped in the drive seat of the vehicle and was unable to exit due to his legs being pinned under the steering wheel/dash area. First Responders were able to rescue a pug dog from the vehicle and care for it until a family member responded to take custody of it. The dog did not appear to be injured. Newton Fire responded and had to use stabilizing equipment to support the vehicle during their rescue efforts to make sure the vehicle did not roll over onto it's roof. Newton Fire used specialized extrication tools to remove the roof of the vehicle to gain access to Mr. Distefano. Mr. Distefano was removed from the vehicle by Newton Fire and Medics and transported to Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston for his injuries. Tody's towing removed the vehicle from the roadway. While Newton Fire was attempting to removed Mr. Distefano from the vehicle, I spoke with a witness to the crash. Mr. John Devalpine (S65213095). Mr. Devalpine stated he was operating his vehicle behind Mr. Distefano on Crafts Street (N). Mr. Devalpine stated he observed Mr. Distefano's vehicle stopped at the light on Crafts Street (N) at Linwood Avenue. Mr. Devalpine stated he then observed Mr. Distefano's vehicle accelerate from it's stopped position and drive across the intersection towards the right side of the roadway. Mr. Devalpine stated the vehicle then crashed into a City of Newton electrical box on the sidewalk. The collision caused the vehicle to turn over and land on it's driver side. I responded to Brigham and Woman's Hospital and spoke with Mr. Distefano in the Emergency Department. His wife, Clara, was present at this time. Mr. Distefano stated he was operating his vehicle and the next thing he knew his airbags deployed and he was trapped inside his vehicle. Mr. Distefano could not recall any other information about the crash. As a result of this crash, Mr. Distefano was cited with Massachusetts Uniform Citation 230024AB for Newton City Ordinance Chapter 19, Section 75 (Fail To Use Care). Due to Mr. Distefano not being able to recall the events that led to his crash, and his recent driver history, I completed and submitted an Immediate Threat with the Registry of Motor Vehicles for Mr. Distefano. This request was emailed to the Registry (DCUImmediateThreat@massmall.state.ma.us). Photos were taken of the crash and submitted to the IT Bureau.
