Operator 1 stated that he was traveling Northbound on Grant Ave and attempted to make the left onto Beacon St Eastbound.

At approximately 0010HRs on Thursday, June 13, 2019, I was dispatched to 141 Dedham St. for a report of a two car crash. Upon arrival, I observed MV1 (NH Pass:3266403) to be parked on the side of the roadway in front of the aforementioned address and it appeared to have been rear ended by MV2 (MA Pass: 513WA3). Being that MV2's airbags were deployed, I requested Newton Fire to evaluate the operator of MV2, who was ultimately medically cleared and signed a patient refusal. Upon speaking to the operator of MV2, he stated that he was traveling Northbound on Dedham St. and feared that he was coming too close to the solid yellow divider lines and over steered to the right, accidently hitting MV1, which was parked. The owner of MV1 was on scene and stated that he was inside and came out to find the crash. I noted damage to the driver's side quarter panel of MV1 and damage to the front end/hood area of MV2. Todys serviced arrived and took custody of MV2. I completed/filled an NPD Towed Motor Vehicle Form. I cleared without incident.

The operator of MV#1 stated he was travelling eastbound on Commonwealth Ave looking for 950 Commonwealth Ave when a vehicle behind him honked its horn. The operator of MV#1 stated he then abruptly made a right turn into the driveway of 940 Commonwealth Ave when he struck a retaining wall (The retaining wall is between 940 Commonwealth and 950 Commonwealth Ave) causing MV#1 to go over the wall and finally resting on top of it. The retaining wall sustained heavy damages, approximately 4 feet in length. MV#1 sustained heavy front right side and undercarriage damages. There were no reported injuries to the operator of MV#1 or its passengers. Newton Paramedics evaluated all occupants of MV#1 and all occupants signed refusals of treatment. The owners of 940 Commonwealth were advised of this accident and provided with the report number. Based on the information provided to me. the operator of MV#1 was issued in hand MA uniform citation #T1268352 for violation of c89 s4A failure to stay within marked lanes. Tody's Towing took possession of MV#1.

MV#1 was parked unoccupied in a parking spot in the parking lot of 2020 Commonwealth Ave. Operator of MV#2 stated she pulled in and attempted to go around MV#2 when she heard a sound. Operator of MV#2 stated she got out of the car and looked at MV#1 and did not see any damage so she thought maybe she hit something else or drove over something. She then parked in another spot in the shared parking lot. I was able to see paint transfer and damage on both vehicles that confirmed a crash had occurred. Operator of MV#2 was apologetic and stated she had only had her license for two months. Both vehicles were able to be driven from the scene and both parties were advised an accident report would be on file.

Operator of MV1 stated he was driving southbound on Lake Ave and looked down for a brief moment and did not see the bend in the road and struck the stone wall in front of 219 Lake Ave. The passenger of MV1 stated the operator was traveling southbound and did not see the turn and went up on the side walk and collided with the stone wall. The operator of MV1 was evaluated by Medic 1, the passenger reports no injuries. Cataldo received two parental refusals for both parties. A witness (Baptiste, Franck Jean) stated he witnessed the accident and believed the vehicle was travelling at approximately 40mph and lost control around the bend and struck the wall. David Donahue from Tody's Towing towed the vehicle. The homeowner at 219 Lake Ave was home and notified about the damage to their property. Six digital photos of the accident scene were taken and submitted to IT. Update 9/28/19: Upon further review and discussion with Sgt.

Operator of vehicle #1 was travelling South bound on Grove St. and stated that he had a green light. Operator #1 stated as he was passing through the intersection of Grove St. and Central St. an unknown vehicle travelling on Central St. heading East bound ran the red light causing Operator #1 to swerve to the right to avoid a collision. Vehicle #1 then struck the traffic light completely uprooting the light which then landed on the rear of the vehicle. Five photo's of the scene were taken by me and handed in to IT. Daigle Electric notified and responded. Vehicle#1 was towed by tody's due to extensive damage. There were no injuries due to this accident.

On 10/16/19 at 2338 I responded to the area of 15 Needham St for a report of a single vehicle accident with the car into a pole and no one inside the vehicle. Upon arrival MA Reg 7TM878 was facing SW on Needham St leaned up against a telephone pole (#2) with heavy front end damage. Units searched the area for the operator and Officer Keefe located the party in the McDonalds up the street. The operator of MV#1 stated he was turning right onto Needham St from Winchester St when his power steering locked and he couldn't redirect his truck away from the curb and telephone pole. He further stated he left his truck because it was raining and his door wouldn't close. Medics responded to evaluate the operator, who signed a patient refusal. Tody's towing responded and towed the vehicle.

I was dispatched to 854 Beacon St, Newton, MA for an overturned motor vehicle accident. I arrived on scene and saw Vehicle #1 (MA reg 9AS213) overturned on its driver's side with the female operator/registered owner trapped inside. Newton Fire arrived on scene and mechanically removed the operator out of the motor vehicle. Prior to where Vehicle #1 was overturned I observed Vehicle #2 (MA reg 615FF6) with rear bumper damage and a snapped rear axle. Vehicle #2 was unoccupied. Operator of Vehicle #1 was transported to Newton-Wellesley Hospital for treatment by Newton Medics. Both motor vehicles were towed by Tody's and inventory sheets were completed and filed. I spoke with the Operator of Vehicle #1 at Newton-Wellesley Hospital. Operator stated that she does not remember what happened before the crash and that she only remembers waking up in her car. I told her that her car was towed and a report is on file. Ofc Selig spoke with the registered owner of Vehicle #2 and notified her of the incident. Based on my investigation it appears that Vehicle #1 struck the rear of Vehicle #2 and the operator over steered causing the vehicle to overturn onto the driver's side.

Operator #1 states he was driving eastbound on Auburn St in MA reg 905RRM (now known as vehicle #1), when a rabbit ran in front of his car which caused him to swerve. This resulted in vehicle #1 sideswiping MA reg 445ZE2 (now known as vehicle #2), which was parked/unoccupied on Auburn St in front of the Auburndale Commuter Lot. Vehicle #1 sustained damage to the entire right side and vehicle #2 had minor damage visible near the front driver's side wheel well. Upon querying both vehicles it was discovered that vehicle #1 had an expired registration. Vehicle #1 was subsequently towed by Tody's, and operator #1 was issued MA citation T1444941 in hand. A note was left on vehicle #2 referencing this crash report. It should be noted that vehicle #2 was parked in a posted No Parking area on Auburn St. Auburn St is a public way in the City of Newton. Operator #1 declined medical attention.

The operator of MV#1 stated that he was traveling west on Auburn St directly behind MV#2 at the intersection of Commonwealth Ave. According to operator #1, MV#2 had its let turn directional on to turn onto Commonwealth Ave east bound so he proceeded to drive around him as he was continuing to travel on Auburn St. Operator #1 states that as he was passing MV#2 he observed MV#2 turn slightly to his right, crashing into MV#1. The operator of MV#2 stated that he was traveling west on Auburn St attempting to take a left onto Commonwealth Ave. Operator #2 states that he may have turned his MV to the right slightly as MV#1 passed on his right, but stated that MV#1 was traveling extremely fast. No injuries, no tows.

At the scene the operator of Vehicle #1 was extracted by Newton Fire and transported to Newton-Wellesley Hospital by Newton Medics. At the Hospital I spoke with the Operator of Vehicle #1. Operator states that she was driving home from a friends house and didn't remember any of the details of the crash. From my investigation, as well as the statement from the witness, it appears Vehicle #1 under steered while trying to make a left turn. The vehicle struck the curb, left the roadway and rolled onto its side. The driver was issued a citation for a Marked Lanes violation. The vehicle was towed from the scene by Tody's.

I responded to the area of 63 Pierrepoint Rd for a report of an MVA single car crash into a tree. I responded to the area at approx. 1752 hrs 09/19/2020. I was advised by NPD Dispatch that the vehicle was unoccupied and that the vehicle has been there all day according to the anonymous reporting party.. When I arrived on location I observed MA Reg. 31542 off the roadway facing westbound directly in front of a tree. This was located directly in front of the residence of 63 Pierrepont Rd.

Murray III had a female passenger Diana Moreno 07/12/2004. I spoke with both Murray Jr. and Murray III via telephone. Murray III stated he was driving following his GPS and suddenly an animal which he believed to be a small dog suddenly ran in front of the car. Murray III swerved to avoid hitting the animal and drove off the road and collided into the tree. He stated the crash was at approx. 0950 on 09/19/2020. I also spoke with Diana Moreno (passenger), via telephone. She could not tell me what preceded the crash as she was looking at her cell phone just prior to the crash. Murray III and Moreno confirmed they were not injured as a result of the crash. Murray III contacted his father and informed him of the crash. Neither party contacted police. Murray Jr contacted AAA to respond advising the vehicle needed to be towed. Murray Jr. stated he was not further contacted by AAA and assumed that the vehicle was towed. Murray III and Moreno left the vehicle parked off the roadway as AAA was not immediately responding. I photographed the crash scene. The photo memory disk has been submitted to NPD IT bureau. The vehicle was towed by Tody's Service Inc.

On 06/21/22 at 08:05 hours, I responded to 12 Marshfield Road for a City of Newton Dept. of Public Works vehicle involved in a crash with another vehicle. Marshfield Road is a public way maintained and owned by the City of Newton. At the time of the crash, the weather was sunny and clear and the road conditions were dry. Also, there was road construction going on as a company was grinding the roadways in the area for the City of Newton. Two detail officers were on scene and Ofc. Conary called in the accident to Newton Police Dispatch. On arrival, I spoke to the operator of M/V# 1 identified as Suzanne Ennis (MA D/L # S80758886) who was driving a 2015 Honda CRV color red bearing MA reg.# 769YR1. Ms. Ennis stated that due to the road construction and it being blocked at Walter Street and Jackson Street everyone was being funneled down (EB ) on Marshfield Rd by the detail officers. Ennis further stated that there was construction vehicle apparatus parked along Marshfield Road in the westbound direction which made the road narrow. She then attempted to pass a parked City of Newton Toyota Rav4 (M/V # 2) on the right of her when another pick up truck suddenly started traveling westbound. She says that she tried correcting her steering but made contact with the driver's side front quarter panel area of M/V # 2. I observed a minor black scuff mark to the front passenger side quarter panel area. M/V # 2 is a 2019 Toyota Rav4 color white bearing MA Official reg. # M5181A. It is owned by Enterprise FM Trust and being leased by the City of Newton Public Works. The Rav4 was parked legally on the right side near 12 Marshfield Road with a City of Newton employee sitting in the front driver's seat. The employee was Kimberly Ritcey who works for the engineering department for the Newton Dept. of Public Works. Ritcey reported no injuries. I observed minor scrape marks to the driver's side front quarter panel area. Photos taken of the scene and submitted to the I.T. Bureau.

On 6/30/22 I responded to Newtonville Ave at Harvard St for a hit & run with property damage. A passerby observed MA commercial reg T54798 hit a traffic light and leave the scene. Upon arrival, I located the traffic light dislodged from it's pole and on the sidewalk. The plate given is registered to Piece by Piece Movers in Woburn. I spoke to manager Jacob Hart ( 978-855-3976) who informed me that the truck is sub contracted to a company called Speedy King Laborers, and that Hart is unaware of who the driver may be. Hart stated that the truck does have a GPS on it which was showing the vehicle stationary on Turner Terrace at the time of our conversation. I responded to Turner Ter and located the truck in question. The driver, Jean Rodriguez DOB 11/8/99, told me that he was aware that he hit the light but had notified his boss already. He stated the crash occurred as he was turning right onto Harvard St from Newtonville Ave on the way to a residential moving job. Rodriguez was informed that merely notifying his boss when a traffic light is struck down is not appropriate and that he could be charged with hit & run property damage. Rodriguez was apologetic and stated that he understood. Pictures were taken of the traffic light and Daigle was notified. The remaining lights at Harvard/Newtonville were on flash upon my clearing. I did not observe any damage to the moving truck however Jacob Hart was advised to inspect the property himself to be sure. He was provided this report number for reference. This incident appears to be a misunderstanding at this time.

OP1 of MV1 was traveling westbound on Rt. 9. MV1 was headed toward the Centre Street exit of RT. 9. The Centre Street exit on Rt. 9 has been closed due to ongoing construction.
