The operator of MV1, Nicole Laurin, sates that she was driving southbound on Sheridan Street when she lost control of her vehicle causing her to crash into MV2 which was parked in front of 107 Sheridan Street. Both vehicles sustained major damage and airbag deployment and were towed from the scene by Tody's. Due to the high rate of speed of the crash and air bag deployment, the operator of MV1 was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital to be evaluated. It should be noted that prior to the reported crash there was a 911 call regarding a white sedan traveling at a high rate of speed going through numerous traffic signals and signs in a densely populated neighborhood with narrow streets. After the crash several more 911 calls were received stating that a vehicle traveling at an excessive rate of speed just crashed into a parked vehicle. Based on these calls and the nature of the crash, Ms. Nicole Laurin was issued in hand Massachusetts Unifrom Citation T2013231 for 90-24, Operating to Endanger, and 90-17, Speeding over the reasonable and proper rate. Sheridan Street is a public way in the city of Newton.

The OP. of MV#1 was unable to give me a statement due to a possible head injury. He kept repeating "where's my car" and "what happened?" Witness#1 (Mr. Regan) states he was travelling westbound on Auburn St. when MV#1 went to the oncoming traffic lane and passed him on the left at a high rate of speed. He estimates the speed at 70mph. He saw MV#1 hit the speed bump on Auburn St., possibly losing control, and then onto Evergreen Ave. with a large cloud of dust. Witness#2(Mr. Weishaus) was on his balcony and observed MV#1 travel at a high speed of rate on Auburn St. He estimates the speed at 100mph. He observed MV#1 go up Evergreen Ave., launch into the air and crashed. Witness#3(Mr. Litvak) states he was on his porch and heard a loud sound of a motor engine approaching. MV#1 then crashed into his retainer wall and flew through some trees before landing on his neighbor's yard. Based on witness statements and the accident scene, it appears that MV#1 went off the roadway and struck a retainer wall at #15 Evergreen Ave, launched into the air and struck parked MV#2 in the process, went through some trees that flipped the car around before landing on the property of #23 Evergreen Ave. The OP. of MV#1 was ejected from the vehicle at some point in time. Pictures were taken of the accident scene.

On 9/27/20 I was Working N497 when I responded to an MVA with rollover in the area of Chestnut and Beacon St. along with multiple other units. Upon arrival at 565 Chestnut St. (which is a publicway in the city of Newton) I spoke with the operator of Veh 1 Jenna Wolf. Wolf stated that she was traveling northbound on Chestnut St. when a Vehicle traveling southbound swerved at her causing her to swerve to the left causing her to jump the curb and collide with a parked car. Wolf stated the car then rolled over and she was able to climb out on her own. Wolf had a laceration to the head that was bleeding so Newton Medics transported her to NWH for treatment. Wolf had a moderate smell of alcoholic beverages emanating from her person and glassy eyes and was slurring her words. Wolf was not asked to do field sobriety due to her injuries. The first parked car (Veh 2) that was struck by Veh 1 slid across the driveway and struck Veh 3, also causing damages to the driveway and yard. The Vehicles owner Vladimir Berezovsky was notified and provided a report number. Veh 2, and Veh 3 were disabled and towed away by Todys at the owners request. A witness named Reza Dana spoke with Ofc. T Keefe and stated "We were traveling down Beacon St. and had a green light at the intersection of Chestnut St. when two cars came speeding northbound on Chestnut St. and ran the red light at Beacon St. almost killing him". Then one of the cars went off the road and struck a parked car causing it to rollover. Veh 1 came back through dispatch as unregistered. Due to the fact that it was a residental area, the vehicle almost struck a home and the witness statment, Wolf was issued a Ma Uniform Citation T2080019 for 90/24/j Oui, 90/24/E MV Negligent Operation, 90/9/b Unregistered, 90/17/A Speeding.

On 12/05/2020 at approximately 22:00 hours I was called in to respond to a single vehicle crash with serious injuries in the area of 291 Nahanton St. Nahanton St is a pubic way in the City of Newton. Upon my arrival at the crash scene with Sgt Devine I was briefed by Officers Daly and Anderson, ( see Ofc Daly's report for further information CAD # 20054728 in regard to changes take out against the operator of the truck ) I made the following observations of the crash scene, Nahanton St is a public way in the City of Newton that is a two way roadway divided by an unprotected merdium ( double yellow line ) that runs east to west. The roadway surface was wet due snow and ice. The roadway was plowed and the snow was pushed to the shoulder, althought wet the roadway was icy. There was approximately 2 inches of snow on the shoulders of the roadway. The road was light with overhead head street lights. The posted speed limit is 25 MPH. I observed a 2013 Chevrolet Silverado pick up truck that had major front end damage. The Chevrolet was at an angle with it's front end facing west bound and resting on the grass shoulder and into a wooded area. The Chevrolet rear was sticking out into the shoulder of the east bound lane of Nahanton St. The passenger side front and rear doors of the Chevrolet had been removed by the fire department to extricate the driver and passenger. The driver and passenger side air bags were deployed . The front passenger side windshield of the Chevrolet was completely missing and the driver's side had completely shattered. The front tires, hood, and engine had been compacted on it's self. The front and rear driver's side doors had been mechanically open by the fire department. The speedometer needle had stopped at 54 MPH. The Chevrolet left the roadway and left tire marks in the snow in the eastbound bike lane of Nahanton St. At a 106.4 feet from the beginning of the tire marks the first point of impact was with two tree stumps that were 3.5 feet from the roadway, four feet tall and 3.5 feet in diameter. The tire marks continue in the east bound bike lane and exit the roadway and onto a dirt shoulder at 136.1 feet from the beginning of the tire marks. The truck continued to the right of a utility pole and then it's passenger side made contact with a tree at 170.8 feet from the begin of the tire marks. The tree was 12 feet from the bike lane approximately 5 feet in diameter. The impact with the tree caused the truck to turn so that the rear was facing north east on the dirt shoulder and bike lane. The final point of rest of the rear passenger side tire was 200 feet from the beginning of the tire marks. The truck's rear diver side tire final point of rest was 209 feet from the beginning of the tire marks. The front driver's side tire was compacted into the trucks engine and the passenger side front tire was located behind the tree approximately 20 feet from the roadway. Sgt Devine took photos of the crash area and of the truck and the disk was download by the NPD's IT Bureau. The truck was towed from the crash scene by Todys's Towing to their lot for storage, I fill out a towed motor vehicle form. There were no reported witness who observed the crash. The crash was reported by an unknown passerby.

On 10/7/21 at about 1145am I was dispatched to 1101 Beacon St the Walgreen's parking lot for an MVA with injuries. On arrival, I observed 3 parked unoccupied MVs heavily damaged that were smashed into each other. I was approached by one of the MV owners, Tony Dooley. Mr Dooley stated he was walking out of the Walgreen's front door heading to his parked MV (#3) which was approximately <30 feet away. His attention was suddenly drawn to a speeding MV (MA reg 3MKH84) driving through the lot that veered right and smashed into the 3 cars. Mr Dooley's MV was the middle car smashed between the other 2. The female operator briefly stopped afterwards and pulled into an adjacent parking spot at a crooked angle. I approached the female operator who was being taken out of her car and placed onto the stretcher by medics for transport. Female operator was identified as Ms Norma Greenberg. I asked her what happened? She replied in a bewildered manner "I have no idea." I asked her if she was taking any medications today and she replied yes, to treat a spinal condition she has. Ms Greenberg had lacerations on her legs and arm with heavy bleeding as a result of the impact.Ms Greenberg's vehicle (#1) was towed with significant front damage and airbag deployment. MV#2, the first car struck on impact, was towed with very heavy passenger side, rear end damage and driver's side damage. MV#3, the middle vehicle, was towed with significant passenger side damage, flat tire and driver's side damage. MV#4, sustained significant passenger side damage which was able to be driven from the scene. Based on observations and statements, it appeared Ms Greenberg had suddenly dangerously accelerated through a congested parking lot causing heavy damage. Ms Greenberg's driving history shows surchargable accidents from 7/1/21, 11/1/20, 8/25/15 and 12/26/10. Due to Ms Greenberg's inability to recall how or what happened, I am seeking an Immediate Threat application due to and not limited to medical reasons to suspend Ms Greenberg's license through the RMV.

On November 21st, 2021 at approximately 07:56 hours while working N491 I along with Officer Mike Boudreau responded with NFD and Medic One to a report of a MV crash with injuries in the area of Centre St @ Franklin St. On my arrival the Medics were evaluating two adult males who standing outside one of the involved vehicle from this crash. There appeared to be several involved vehicles to this crash however two of them had been parked prior to the crash. The vehicle which the two unidentified males were standing by was MA reg. 9HY939, a 1988 Black Ford F150 PU, listed registered owner was a Peter J. Jara-Castro, #28 Ridge Ave, Lynn Ma. Mr Castro was one of the two males standing by that truck. The above vehicle appeared to have been travelling N/B on Centre St when it skidded off the road, jumping the curb striking a 1 foot slate retaining wall to the property to #573 Centre St. It continued onto that property driving over shrubs, small trees, then onto the driveway(same address) which is actually on Newtonville Ave, hitting the homeowners 2007 Nissan Versa, Ma reg. 6BH269, forcing it into more shrubbery. The Truck continued across Newtonville Ave where it struck another parked vehicle, a Grey 2019 Volkswagon, Ma reg. 1NFC27 on the rear passenger side pushing it forward. The truck finally came to a stop after driving into a wooden fence to the property of #559 Centre St.(Fence is on Newtonville Ave.) I spoke with the owner of the truck after he was evaluated by the Medics, who spoke limited English. The owner of the truck Peter Jara-Castro finally said he was driving the truck prior to the crash. His statement was he was travelling N/B down Centre St when another vehicle came out from Newtonville Ave causing him to slam on his brakes. Mr Castro doesn't remember much after that, possibly from hitting his head. At this time I couldn't determine who the actual driver was. Both Mr Castro and the passenger, sustained injuries but both declined to go to the hospital. Both were later picked up by an UBER driver. A Firefighter heading to work reported seeing the truck pass him on Centre St N/B at high rate of speed but never saw the driver or the actual crash. Both property owners that sustained damage were given Trucks insurance info. Pictures were taken by both property owners. Vehicle #1 and vehicle #2 were towed from scene. Both sustained heavy damage. Vehicle #3 sustained minor damage I was unable to make contact with that owner at this time. However later in the day I was able to make contact with owner of vehicle #3. She was given all vehicle #1 information along with his insurance. A citation for speeding was later issued after investigation was completed and witness statement. Citation#t1444076 was later sent VIA mail.

On 4/21/22, I was dispatched to the intersection of Crafts St./California St. for a motor vehicle collision involving a single vehicle into a tree. Upon arrival, I observed MV#1 had crashed into a tree in front of 315 Craft St. The operator stated the "road was slippery" and he veered off the roadway, hitting the curb, before traveling 20-25 yards on the sidewalk, hitting two tree's. MV#1 sustained heavy front end damage and air bag deployment consistent with colliding into a tree at a decent rate of speed. MV#1 was removed from the roadway by Tody's Tow Service. The operator of Mv#1 was transported to Newton-Wellesley Hospital with injuries. Charges pending at this time for OUI Liquor 2nd Offense, Marked Lanes Violation and Negligent Operation of a Motor Vehicle.
