Narrative:
On January 1, 2019 at approximately 02:18 hours I, Officer Guarino, responded to 78 Vine St. for a hit and run. I spoke to the operator of MV1, who told me that he was driving Eastbound on Vine St, he turned on his left directional and began to pull into his driveway at 78 Vine St. The operator of MV 2 attempted to pass MV 1 on the left hand side crashing into MV1. MV2 put the vehicle in reverse and left the scene. The operator of MV1 said that the front bumper of MV2 had fallen off in the collision with MA License plate 4KZ917 still attached. The owner of that vehicle lives in Boston, so Boston Police were notified. I attempted to make contact with the owner of MV 2 with negative results. Update January 1, 2019 16:15 hours: I was able to contact the owner of MV2, who admitted that she was the operator of the vehicle and that she was in the vehicle alone. The operator of MV2 said that the operator of MV1 was driving very slow and stopped in the right lane so she attempted to pass the vehicle. MV1 began turning and MV2 struck MV1. The operator of MV 1 said that she was nervous and left the scene because her phone died and attempted to contact the Newton Police in the morning. I am mailing citation T1441275 to Cecelia Spangenberg for MGL90/24C, leaving the scene of property damage. Photographs of the bumper have been submitted to IT to be attached to this report. The license plate was logged into evidence and placed into property and evidence locket #8.

Narrative:
On 1/5/19 at 1210hrs I was dispatched to the Pelham St Municipal Lot (public way inviting access maintained by the City of Newton) behind CVS for a report of an MVA involving several vehicles. On arrival, I observed Mv#1 MA Reg 5TWS10 with heavy front end damage wedged in between two other vehicles parked in marked spaces. #1 operator, in the driver's seat, was being evaluated by Medics. #1 was identified as Mary Jane Hymanwegscheider (10/14/38). I first made contact with a witness identified as Sharon Corliss. Ms Corliss stated she was sitting in her parked vehicle and observed Mv#1 backing out of the end spot next to CVS. She explained once #1 had came to a stop from backing, #1 then pulled forward, drove over a curb island and continued driving straight into the two parked vehicles. Ms Corliss stated it appeared #1 was travelling about 5mph preceeding the crash. After the medics intial evaluation of Ms Hymanwegscheider, I was able to ask her what happened? She stated she backed out of her space, hit the curb going forward and then put her foot on the gas instead of the brake before the collision. She was deliberate when speaking and appeared confused. She reported to medics she had no medical history and was not using any medications including allergy medication as well. She reported she did not hit her head after the collision. She was then transported to NWH for further evaluation after medics discovered her blood/sugar readings were very low. I advised Ms Hymanwegscheider her vehicle had heavy damage and was being towed by Tody's and to expect paperwork at the conclusion of the crash investigation. It appeared #1 struck Mv#2 first on its driver's side rear before striking Mv#3 parked next to it on the passenger side rear. #1 wedged itself between #2 and #3, #3 was then pushed to the left into the passenger side of Mv#4. #2 and #3 sustained heavy rear end damage. #4 sustained light damage. #1 towed by Tody's with heavy front end damage. #2 arranged for her own tow through her insurance company. A note was left on #3, and #4 was able to be driven from the scene. Ms Hymanwegscheider is showing no MV infraction/no accident history. Based on the totality of all information received as a result of this investigation, I will be issuing a citation (#T0340410) to Ms Hymanwegscheider for Ch90/Sec24, Negligent Operation.

Narrative:
On Saturday January 5th 2019 at 18:01, I was dispatched to Crafts St at Waltham St for a report of a 2 car accident. Operator of MV1 stated he was driving southbound on Waltham Street and approached the intersection as the traffic control changed to red. He slowed down and came to a complete stop. Approximately 4-6 seconds later, he was rear ended by MV2. MV1 sustained minor damage to the rear passenger side. MV1 had three other occupants in the vehicle at the time of the accident. The two passengers in the back seat complained of back pain and were evaluated by Cataldo Paramedic Basic 3 and both signed patient refusals. The operator of MV2 stated as he approached the intersection he "was sleeping." When I asked him to elaborate further he was unable to provide me any answers. He was evaluated by PB3 and transported to NWH. He was issued citation # T1441363 for Operating Under the Influence of Alcohol (2nd Offense) and Negligent Operation of a Motor Vehicle. See Report #19000596 for further details. MV2 was towed by Todys Towing due to the operator being transported to the hospital and the passenger stating he was too intoxicated to drive. A towed motor vehicle form was filled out.

Narrative:
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. The operator was mailed MA Uniform Citations T0648078 and T0648079 charging him with MGL 89/4A Marked Lanes violation, 90/24 OUI Drugs, 90/24(2)(A) Operating to Endanger/Negligent operation, 90/11 No License in Possession, and 90/11 No Registration in Possession. Officer Donahue took pictures of the fire hydrant and crash scene, which have been submitted to the IT Bureau. The fire department was made aware of the broken hydrant.

Narrative:
MA commercial reg M94754 (vehicle #1), a City of Newton pickup/sander truck, was located crashed over the curb in front of 1970 Beacon St. The vehicle was unoccupied, had the keys in the ignition, and was reported stolen just a few minutes prior to discovery. The reporting party of the stolen truck and uninvolved occupant is identified as City DPW worker George Sementelli. The witness/passerby who discovered the collision is also a DPW worker, identified as Donny Brandt. Pursuant to an investigation outlined in incident #19002213, the operator at the time of the crash was determined to be Michael Carter. It is believed that Carter stole the vehicle from 295 Auburn St, fled the area, and ultimately crashed in front of 1970 Beacon St. Corroborating facts outlined in the incident report put Carter as the operator. The vehicle itself was located partially on the sidewalk and partially on the road, therefore Carter is being cited with MGL 89/4A - Marked Lanes Violation (T1268423). Due to the fact it is believed that Carter fled the scene after the crash, MGL 90/24/C - Leaving the Scene of Property Damage was added as well as MGL 90/23/D Operating After a Suspended LIcense, and MGL 90/24/O - Reckless Operation of a Motor Vehicle. The crash occurred during busy weekday commuting about 0.7 miles from Angier Elementary School. The last 3 charges mentioned have been listed on a second citation (T1268422). Officer Brooks also issued T0648082 for OUI Drugs MGL 90/24/G. See the incident report for details about this charge. In total, there are (3) citations issued to Carter. The vehicle sustained heavy front end damage. It should be noted that the utility pole a couple of houses down from the crash site (Beacon/Varick Rd, pole #212) sustained fresh, minor superficial damage, consistent with the vehicle crashing into it before verring onto the sidewalk. Pictures have been taken and submitted to the IT bureau. Tody's responded and towed the vehicle to the police garage for processing due to the pending other criminal charges involved in this accident/incident. Michael Carter was subsequently placed under arrest and his citations have been placed into his property. Carter suffered a hand injury due to the crash an was transported to NWH Hospital for an evaluation after he was booked.

Narrative:
On 1/19/19 I responded to 25 Normandy Rd for a report of a past hit and run. I spoke with the Operator of MV#1 who stated the accident had taken place in front of Tom's Pizza, 423 Lexington St, at approximately 1830 hrs. Operator of MV#1 stated she parked her vehicle in a parking spot directly in front of the restaurant and went inside. When she returned approximately 5 minutes later she realized her vehicle had been rear ended. Two witnesses provided her with information about the accident and the plate number. (See witness narratives.) MV#1 suffered moderate damage to the rear and was driven from the scene. Waltham PD responded to the address listed for MV#2 and were not able to locate the vehicle. At approximately 2000 hrs, I was contacted at the police station by the owner of MV#2's wife. After further investigation (see incident report #19002425) it was determined that the operator of MV#2 at the time of the accident was the vehicle owner's brother. I spoke with Operator of MV#2 on the phone and he stated that the road was icy and slippery due to snow and he crashed into the back of MV#1. He stated he was nervous and thought he had only hit the sidewalk curb. Operator of MV#2 was issued citation T1440626 by mail for 90/24C Leaving the Scene of Property Damage, 90/10A Unlicensed Operation and 90/24 Use of MV Without Authority. He stated the vehicle suffered minor damage to the front.

Narrative:
At approximately 0110HRs on Sunday February 17, 2019, I was dispatched to the area of Dedham St. and Spiers Rd. (both public ways in the City of Newton), for a report of a motor vehicle vs pole accident with injury, airbag deployment and entrapment. Upon arrival, I exited my cruiser with my medical bag and AED and went to assist the motorist involved in the crash. MV1 (MA Passenger: 255ZA9) was completely off the roadway and on the shoulder of the road (facing Eastbound) with its nose contacting the light pole ( Verizon Pole #:103/80), which was now broken and listing to the side. Attempts to open the doors were unsuccessful and I attempted to communicate with the operator through a partially broken driver's window frame which was bent. The operator was slumped forward with his hand cradling his head and he was unable to speak, but was breathing. Newton Fire arrived and attempted to gain access to the vehicle via several manual tools with no success and instead deployed the Jaws of Life which was successful. Newton Fire also made entry into the rear passenger compartment because we viewed a child's car seat and checked with negative results for any child in the vehicle. Once the operator was cut out of his seatbelt and safely out of MV1 and on board Newton Medic 1, I entered the ambulance where he was identified as Mark Topham. It should be noted that Topham was having difficulty answering basic questions such as his name, date of birth, today's date, Etc. At one point when he was asked what today's date was, he gave his birth date of February 21, 1983 and it took him several attempts to say his last name, I had to run him over the air with a partial name to ascertain who he is. Also of note, in my presence and that of Sgt. Devine, Topham informed the medics that he had been consuming alcoholic beverages prior to the crash. Upon viewing the scene, I noted that the roadway was lit and I did not observe any skid marks on the dry, ice-free payment, indicating that there was unlikely any braking or swerving to avoid the collision. I spoke to the reporting party, Lindsay Giardina, she stated that she was traveling on Dedham St. when she heard what she believed to be a motor vehicle crash. When she came upon said crash, she attempted to assist the operator, as she was an off duty firefighter. She was unable to gain access to the inside of the vehicle, but communicated to the operator in the same manor as I did. She stated that she was able to smell the odor of an alcoholic beverage emanating from the operator. Topham was transported to Beth Israel of Boston, where he was assigned patient record number 3109921. I attempted to speak with him at the hospital, but was unable to do so because of his current state; I noted several injuries on Topham, such as a bloody lip, a wound to his lower left side and a wound to his left leg. Due to Topham's statements onboard of Medic 1 and Lindsay Giardina's observations, I will be charging Topham with one count of violating MGL Ch.90 S. 24 K OUI Liquor 2nd Offence, one count of violating MGL Ch.90 S. 24 E Negligent Operation of a Motor Vehicle and one count of violating MGL Ch. 89 S. 4A Marked Lanes Violation via MA Criminal Citations which I placed in the mail. Additionally, I will be seeking a subpoena for Topham's blood work from the hospital. Note: The crash occurred on the Newton/Boston line, Newton dispatch's GPS indicated that the crash was in Newton. I took several pictures of the scene and have forwarded them to IT to be attached to this report. I completed and filled an NPD Motor Vehicle Tow Inventory Form and Officer Boudrot stood by for the tow.

Narrative:
On 04/08/2019, at 1620 hrs, I responded to the area of 2040 Commonwealth Ave for a three car MVA with injuries. Upon arrival, I observed all three vehicles facing westbound on Commonwealth Ave. MV1 had heavy front end damage and airbag deployment. MV2 also had heavy front end damage and airbag deployment. MV3 had minor rear end damage. The operator of MV1 was brought to Newton Wellesley Hospital by Cataldo medics. The operator of MV2 stated she was on Pamela Ct attempting to take a left onto Commonwealth Ave. There was heavy traffic headed westbound and a vehicle stopped to let MV2 go. As MV2 was taking a left onto Commonwealth Ave, MV1 was traveling westbound in the eastbound lane around traffic and struck MV2. MV2 then in turn struck MV3s rear end. The operator of MV3 stated that he wasn't sure what occurred because the accident was behind him. The operator of MV1 stated she was traveling westbound on Commonwealth Ave and was planning on taking a left into the Star Market parking lot which was approximately 250 feet down the street. She stated she thought there were two lanes in the westbound direction at that point in the roadway. MV2 then pulled out in front of her and they collided. Two witnesses who were traveling westbound in traffic a few vehicles behind MV3 both stated that MV1 drove erratically into the oncoming lane and around traffic heading westbound. One witness stated "the car was almost completely in the opposite lane" and the other witness agreed. A moment later they stated they heard the crash but did not see it. They also stated that she almost crashed into a car turning eastbound out of the Star Market exit prior to the accident. MV1 and MV2 were towed from the scene by Tody's. The operator of MV2 was brought to Newton Wellesley Hospital by her mother. The operator of MV1 was cited for C90 S23 operating after revoked license, C90 S23 operating after revoked registration, C90 S24 operating to endanger, and C89 S4a marked lanes violation. All aforementioned streets are public ways maintained by the City of Newton.

Narrative:
On 5/20/19 at about 1510hrs I was dispatched to 136 Evelyn Rd for an MVA. En route to the location with Ofc Gourdeau, it was determined by first arriving Ofc Gourdeau that a vehicle had crashed through a fence at the end of Troy Lane and came to rest in the backyard of 126 Evelyn Rd. On arrival, I located the vehicle operator, identified as Mr Stuart Phillips who was operating MA Reg 8VVP40, an '03 Jaguar S Type model. Mr Phillips was walking around the backyard after the collision and appeared coherent as to what had transpired. He sustained a laceration to the top of his head and was bleeding heavily. We sat him down in a lawn chair prior to medics arrival to evaluate. When asked what happened, he stated he "hit the gas instead of the brakes". I asked him where did the accident begin? He stated he was turning around at the end of Troy Lane (a dead end cul de sac) and crashed through the fence there. Mr Phillips was alert and speaking clearly. I asked him if he was on any medication? He stated he was taking Plavix only, a blood thinner. I asked about his medical history and he stated he was released from Spalding Rehab today for treatment from a stroke and was receiving occupational therapy. Medics arrived to evaluate and he was transported to NWH for treatment. An investigation of the crash path of the vehicle revealed the following based on tire tracks and damage left behind: The vehicle crashed through the fence at the end of the cul de sac belonging to 41A Helene Rd; Vehicle drove over that back lawn, clipped the back deck attached to the rear of the house; damaging the base of the deck and lattice below; Vehicle travelled over the patio, then crashed through shrubbery down an embankment leading to the backyard of 132 Evelyn Rd; Vehicle drove through backyard of 132 Evelyn, then continued along the side of the house where it drove over damaging three retaining walls and clipped a large tree; After driving over the third retaining wall, vehicle continued through the backyard of 126 Evelyn, causing significant lawn damage; Vehicle continued until it hit the back of the house at 126 Evelyn; there, it drove over the rear patio before it struck a ground level basement window and window well; It came to a rest there where the vehicle caught on fire under the hood. Witnesses helped extinguish the fire with a garden house (see incident report #19020129) until NFD arrived to knock it down. Significant front lawn damage to 126 Evelyn occurred as well as NFD was arriving on scene to what was first reported as a structure fire. Several photos of the area were taken by myself. The memory chip was TOT the I.T. bureau to be attached to this report. Tody's towing towed the vehicle out of the backyard by accessing the rear driveway of 132 Evelyn Rd. Mr Phillips cited for Negligent Operation and an Immediate Threat for License Suspension/Revocation faxed to the RMV. Troy Lane is a public way in the City of Newton.

Narrative:
On 07/24/19 at 08:06 hours, I responded to a two car motor vehicle accident at Dedham and Parker Streets with no reported injuries. Operator of MV1 was stopped at the stop sign on Parker Street (SB) at Dedham Street waiting to take a left turn on to Dedham Street. That is when he was struck in his rear end by MV2. MV1 sustained moderate damage to the rear bumper and hatch area but it was still driveable. Operator of MV2 states she was behind MV1 on Parker Street but did not see that vehicle in front of her. She states she was also attempting to take a left turn on to Dedham Street. She then started to accelerate and struck MV1 in the rear end. I observed moderate damage to the entire front bumper and grille but mainly to the driver's side. The owner decided to have the vehicle privately towed after on Howe Road. Operator was issued MA Uniform Citation # T1445344 for Newton City Ordinance 19-75 Failure to use care in starting and stopping.

Narrative:
At approximately 1825HRs on August 06, 2019, I was dispatched to 785 Centre St. (Newton Country Day School) in reference to a motor vehicle vs bicycle crash. Upon arrival, I located both parties on the sidewalk adjacent to the intersection of Centre St. and Colby Rd. The operator of the bicycle was complaining of feeling dizzy, although she stated she did not hit her head, and suffered several abrasions on her left leg and hands; the operator of MV1 stated she was uninjured. The operator of MV1 stated that as she was traveling northbound on Centre St., she attempted to give the operator of the bicycle room, but the bicyclist made an abrupt left hand turn and struck MV1. The operator of the bicycle stated she was traveling northbound on Centre St. in the Bicycle Lane. She then signaled a left hand turn and entered the Motor Vehicle Travel Lane to make a second left hand turn to travel eastbound on Colby Rd. Once she exited the northbound Motor Vehicle Travel Lane on Centre St. and began to cross over the southbound lane, MV 1 crossed over the solid yellow lines onto the southbound side of Centre St. and struck her bicycle. MV1 sustained damage to its right front bumper and I noted red paint transfer of the left side of the front bumper, which the operator of MV1 states was old damage. MV1 also sustained a flat left front tire after contacting the curb. The bicycle sustained damage to both tires and where the rear tire attaches to the frame appeared to be warped. I took several photos of the damage and have submitted them to be attached to this report. The operator of the bicycle was transported to the hospital by Newton Medics and the operator of MV1 signed a patient refusal. Todys Services arrived and took custody of MV1, for which I completed and filled an NPD Towed Motor Vehicle Form. All streets mentioned are public ways in the City of Newton. Due to the potential danger of serious bodily injury caused by the operator of MV1's reckless driving behavior (crossing the solid yellow road divider line and driving on the wrong side of the road against traffic), the actual damage caused (striking and causing the bicycle operator to be transported to the hospital and damage to the bicycle) and that the bicycle operator was clearly visible/in clear contrast with the road (riding a red bicycle and wearing a red shirt) I issued the operator of MV1 MA Criminal citation T1445010, in hand, for violating one count of MGL Ch.90 S. 24 (Operating To Endanger) I cleared without incident. Note: I logged the bicycle into property/evidence for safekeeping, as it could not be taken on the ambulance.

Narrative:
At approximately 1645HRs on Tuesday, 01/07/2020, I was dispatched to 325 Boylston St. (Sunoco Gas) for a report of a hit and run motor vehicle crash. Upon arrival, I spoke with the operator of MV1 (MA Veteran:J706), who stated that as he sat stationary in his vehicle just before entering pump: 3, MV2 backed up from pump: 1 and struck MV1 in the front bumper, despite him activating his horn and keeping it active as she continued to back up. The operator of MV1 then approached the driver's side door of MV2 to exchange information, however the operator of MV2 drove off; the operator of MV1 provided MA Pass: 8SV842 being attached to MV2 and I noted damage to the front bumper of MV1. I spoke to witness 1 via phone and he concurred with the operator of MV1's account of the incident. It should be noted that witness 1 could see the crash well from his vantage point by pump: 2. The operator of MV2 could not be reached by this officer for comment. Natick PD responded to the operator of MV2's residence and observed damage to MV2's rear bumper. They requested the operator of MV2 contact me via phone and she stated she would; Natick PD did not get a contact number for her. Natick PD informed us to expect her call and a few minutes later, dispatcher Kelly stated that she received a call from the operator of MV2, who immediately hung up once the call was answered. It should be noted that since she called on the business line and immediately hung up, we were not able to retrieve her phone number as the system does not store it. Due to the operator of MV2 failing to provide her information after the crash/fleeing the scene and her not being cooperative with my investigation, I have issued her by mail MA Criminal Citation:T2013367 for violating one count of MGL. Ch. 90 S. 24 (Leaving The Scene Of An Accident After Property Damage). Note: the clerk at Sunoco stated that the cameras at the pumps do not store footage. **Update** At approximately 1540HRs on Thursday, 01/07/2020, I spoke with the operator of MV2 via telephone. She contacted the Newton Police Traffic Bureau and provided her phone number, who in turn forwarded it to me. She stated to me that on the night in question, she was at the pumps and the pump she initially wished to use (pump: 1) had a sign on it to pay inside. She then elected not to use said pump and backed her car up and heard the operator of MV1 activate his horn. She stopped and was unaware that she struck MV1. When she saw the operator of MV 1 exit his vehicle, she assumed he was going to pump gas. She then stated she left the gas station because she was frustrated and did not intend to leave the scene of an accident. I advised the operator of MV2 that since I was unable to speak with her that night, I had already issued her MA Criminal Citation:T2013367 for violating one count of MGL. Ch. 90 S. 24 (Leaving The Scene Of An Accident After Property Damage) via mail and advised her how to proceed.

At approximately 1735HRs on Saturday, August 29, 2020, I was dispatched to 14 Elliot St. (Sunoco Gas Station) for a report of a two car MVA with one party refusing to exchange RMV information. Upon arrival, I spoke with the operator of MV1 (MA Pass: 6GT965), who stated that he was stationary in his vehicle at pump 3, when the operator of MV2 reversed into his vehicle after refueling at pump 5, which is directly in front of pump 3. The operator of MV2 got out of her vehicle and began to yell at him and refused to give him her RMV information, claiming he hit her. The operator of MV1 stated that he called the police and the operator of MV2 subsequently left the scene prior to my arrival. Officer Keefe (N495) attempted to raise the registered owner of MV2 (MA Pass: 2KWK11) at her residence with negative results and dispatch was unable to find a cell phone for her. I was able to speak with witness 1, who concurred with the operator of MV1's version of events. After speaking with witness 1, the operator of MV1 and viewing his video he recorded on his phone showing a party believed to be the owner/operator of MV2 entering her vehicle (Caucasian Female with the same light/strawberry blonde hair, as seen in her RMV photo), I have issued her MA Criminal Citation T2015042 for violating one count of MGL Ch. 90 S. 24.

Narrative:
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. Pictures were taken by Ofc Keefe and submitted to IT.

Narrative:
On 09/30/2020 at approximately 19:32hrs members of the Newton Police Patrol Bureau responded to a motor vehicle crash near the intersection of Washington St and Eddy St. After an initial investigation of the crash the Patrol Bureau secured the crash scene and called in the Newton Police Traffic Bureau to investigate. At approximately 19:45hrs Sgt. Devine, Ofc Wilson and I (Ofc Schlegel) from the NPD Traffic Bureau responded to the scene to investigate. Upon arrival to the scene I was met by Ofc Kane of the NPD Patrol Bureau. Ofc Kane stated that the crash was located in the driveway of 74 Eddy St and that it involved a Ford F350 pickup striking two parked cars. Ofc Kane stated that the operator identified as Kyle Butler had already been taken to Newton Wellesley Hospital by Cataldo EMS for injuries. . Upon approaching the crash scene I observed the following: The crash occurred at night time hours at approximately 19:32EST near the intersection of Washington St and Eddy St. Both Washington St and Eddy St are public ways in the City of Newton. The weather conditions at the time of the crash were a dark and clear with a temperature of approximately 60 degrees F. Washington St is a four lane undivided roadway (2 westbound travel lanes and 2 eastbound travel lanes). Washington St lighted roadway which has concrete light poles on both the westbound and eastbound sides. Washington St was under construction at the time and had a base coat of asphalt applied. At the time of the crash Washington St did not have any painted lane markings due to ongoing construction. Washington St is separated from the road sides on both the eastbound edge and the westbound edge with fixed granite curbing. The roadway also had several orange traffic barrels and traffic cones located edges of the eastbound and westbound lanes. Affixed to the light poles and the traffic barrels were temporary no parking signs for the ongoing road construction. At the time of the crash no road construction activities were taking place. No major debris or other obstructions were observed in the roadway. Washington St is a major roadway in the City of Newton and travels west to East across the entire City of Newton. This area of Washington St where the crash occurred is in between West Newton Square and Newtonville Square, this area has a posted 35 MPH speed limit. Both West Newton Square and Newtonville Square are densely populated with several businesses and residential areas. The section of Washington St where the crash occurred is also traveled frequently by pedestrian, bicycle and motor vehicle traffic. At the time the crash occurred 19:32hrs This area of Washington St is still a heavily travelled roadway. I observed Vehicle 1 described as a 2003 Ford F350 color white (MA Reg 5DT664) located in the driveway of 74 Eddy St. 74 Eddy St is a multi-family dwelling house located on the corner of Washington St and Eddy St. The driveway of 74 Eddy St is on the Washington St side. Vehicle was faced easterly across the driveway. I observed Vehicle 1to have extensive damage to the entire vehicle including but not limited to the enclosed cab area, cab roof and all windows, front end, rear end, along with both driver and passenger side. I also observed city of Newton owned concrete traffic light resting on top of the cab area of Vehicle 1. Upon further observation of Vehicle 1 it appears that both front tires and rims were flat, heavily damaged and had little to no tread left. Both front tires were worn down to the interior steel belt. I also observed that Vehicle 1 did not have a valid inspection sticker. Located to the immediate front of Vehicle 1 and resting on the front end was a white fence which had damage consistent with the impact of a motor vehicle. Immediately to the driver's side of Vehicle 1 was Vehicle 2 described as a 2007 gray Subaru Forester (MA Reg 45D610. Vehicle 2 was facing westerly across the driveway. Vehicle 2 had extensive damage to the driver's side front end, rear end, in addition to the entire driver and passenger sides. At this time Vehicle 2's drivers door was in contact with Vehicle 1's drivers door. Both drivers doors could not be opened.The damage to Vehicle 2 appeared to be consistent with impact from another motor vehicle. To immediate passenger side of the Vehicle 2 I observed Vehicle 3 described as a 2011 Toyota Rav4 color black (MA Reg 47XB99). Vehicle was facing in an easterly direction across the driveway. I observed the Vehicle 3 to have extensive damage to driver's side rear quarter panel, passenger side front quarter panel and front end. Also observed was damage to south east corner of the dwelling of 74 Eddy St. This area of the dwelling is located adjacent to the drive way. The damage appeared consistent with the impact caused by a motor vehicle. Also observed were large amounts of debris located in the area of the crash which included the sidewalk, yard and the driveway of 74 Eddy St. The debris included pieces of concrete which appeared to have been dislodged from the concrete light pole. A city of Newton no parking sign was lying in the yard of 74 Eddy St. This parking sign would have been attached to the concrete light pole due to ongoing road construction on Washington St. I also observed two tire marks on a curb stone located next the westbound lane of Washington St. These tire marks were in front of the residence of 74 Eddy St and were to the immediate left of a storm drain. The tire marks were consistent with being struck by a motor vehicle. In between the tire marks and just after the curb there was a hole in the ground with wires sticking out of it. This hole appears to be the location the concrete light pole was located prior to impact. Tire marks were located on Washington St traveling from the east bound lane easterly across the westbound lane and ending at the tire marks on the curb. The total length of the tire marks was approximately 190 feet. After conducting an on scene investigation it appears that Vehicle 1 from the start of the tire mark in eastbound travel lane of Washington St traveled 190 feet in the easterly direct across the westbound lane of Washington St and impacted the curb in front of 74 Eddy St. The tire marks had lateral striations almost the entire length indicating that the front tires were rolling and sliding with little to no braking prior to impact with the curb. After impact with the curb Vehicle 1 exited the roadway, struck a concrete light pole. Vehicle 1 then traveled over a sidewalk, across the yard of 74 Eddy St and into the driveway of 74 Eddy St. Located in the driveway of 74 Eddy St were Vehicle 2 and Vehicle 3. Vehicle 2 was parked facing toward the rear of 74 Eddy St. Vehicle 3 located to the passenger side of Vehicle 2 and was parked facing towards Washington St. When Vehicle 1 entered the driveway it struck Vehicle 2. The force of the impact of Vehicle 1 striking Vehicle 2 caused Vehicle 2 to strike Vehicle 3. The force of the impact of Vehicle 2 striking Vehicle 3 caused Vehicle 3 to strike the southeast corner of the dwelling located at 74 Elliot St. Vehicle 1 continued across the drive way and struck a white fence before coming to final rest. Vehicle traveled a approximately 55 feet from when it initially struck to the curb till final rest. No other injuries were reported on scene. All involved vehicles were towed from the scene by Tody's Towing. After the investigation the operator of Vehicle 1 Kyle Butler was issued Citations T2015882 and T2015883 for: Mgl 90/24/O Recklass Operation of a Motor Vehicle Mgl 89/4B/A Failure to Operate in the Right Lane Mgl 90/20 Failure to Submit a Motor Vehicle for Inspection Mgl 90/7 Defective Equipment (worn front tire treads) Mgl 90/13A Failure to wear a seatbelt An immediate threat form was also filed with the MA RMV.

Narrative:
On Monday May 10th, 2021 at approximately 0825 hours, dispatch sent units to the intersection of Eldredge Street and Vernon Street for a report of a road rage incident involving a crossing guard and a motor vehicle. When units arrived it was determined that the crossing guard who was performing her duties at the time of the incident, was struck by a motor vehicle that left the scene without stopping. I responded to the scene of the accident to conduct an investigation. At the time of the incident the weather was cloudy and the road surface was dry. Eldredge Street and Vernon Street are both public ways owned and maintained by the City of Newton. Upon arrival I spoke with the injured crossing guard inside the ambulance identified as, Margaret Monbouquette. Margaret was being treated by Fallon Medic 3 for leg pain. Margaret stated she was in the middle of the intersection holding her stop sign up as children and adults were actively crossing to get to the Underwood School. Margaret stated she had all three streets stopped when her attention was brought to the vehicle at the stop sign on Eldredge Street on the one way side. Margaret stated it kept inching forward into the intersection attempting to turn left. Margaret stated she still had people crossing at that intersection so she stepped in front of the vehicle and held up the stop sign directly in front of the vehicle and the female driver. Margaret stated she looked at the female driver and stated "No, stop" and that is when the driver started to yell back at her inside her vehicle but she could not make out what she was saying as her window was rolled up. Margaret stated the driver then tried to drive around her and struck her with the front passenger side bumper of the vehicle. She stated she was struck in her hip area which caused her to fall onto the street. Margaret stated the vehicle never stopped and sped up Vernon Street. Margaret described the driver as a slight female with dark hair driving a dark colored SUV. Margaret was able to provide a license plate of MA REG: 1XCS97. A query of the license plate through dispatch was able to provide an address of 74 Charlesbank Rd, Newton. Officers checked this address but got no response at the door and the vehicle was not located. A witness to the incident identified as Alicia Matos left her phone number and I was able to make contact with her over the phone. She stated she was in her motor vehicle stopped at the stop sign on Eldredge St, directly across from the vehicle involved. Alicia stated she was stopped because the crossing guard was in the intersection holding up her stop sign and was actively crossing children and adults. Alicia states she noticed the vehicle across from her kept creeping out into the intersection trying to take the left turn up Vernon Street. She states the crossing guard walked over to that vehicle and told her to stop and saw the female driver start yelling and pointing her hands at her inside the vehicle. Alicia states the crossing guard then backed up and was looking down at the drivers license plate when the driver drove at the crossing guard and struck her with her front passenger side and knocked the crossing guard to the ground. Alicia states the vehicle clearly made contact and did not stop and left the scene turning onto Vernon Street at a high rate of speed. Alicia states several people in the area came to the crossing guards aid and police and medics arrived shortly. Alicia described the driver of the motor vehicle to be a female with dark hair. The principal of the Underwood School, Suzie Talukdar was present after the accident and stated the secretary of the school received a phone call shortly after the incident from a grandparent of the school. The grandparent was identified as Dawn Coleman. Dawn stated her daughter was driving the vehicle involved and was having anxiety over the incident and didn't know what to do. Dawn identified the driver as Chelsey Sullivan (S83874401). I attempted to make contact with Chelsey at her residence of 74 Charlesbank Rd with negative results. The secretary was able to provide phone numbers for Dawn and Chelsey and I responded to the police station to attempt to make contact. While at the police station, I was notified that Chelsey Sullivan was downstairs in the lobby. I met with Chelsey and she stated the following: She was driving MA REG 1XCS97 a black Toyota Rav4 and was stopped at the stop sign on Eldredge Street the one way side. She noticed the crossing guard in the intersection holding up the stop sign but stated there was no one crossing at the time. Chelsey stated she started to inch forward and wanted to turn left onto Vernon Street as she was in a rush. Chelsey stated the crossing guard came right up to her vehicle and started shouting and holding up the stop sign in her hand telling her to stop. Chelsey stated she was yelling back at her stating that the cars behind her were going so she wanted to go too. Chelsey stated when the crossing guard started to walk away from her, she got very anxious and decided to take the left onto Vernon Street. She stated she saw the crossing guard stumble and fall to the ground but at no time did she think she made contact with the crossing guard. Chelsey stated she drove home and called her mother to tell her about the incident. Chelsey stated she wrote an apology letter to the crossing guard and has really bad anxiety and wasn't sure what to do. I advised Chelsey she needs to follow the crossing guards instructions when they are performing their duties no matter if she thinks the road is clear for her to enter/pass. Chelsey stated she understood and was also advised she will be getting a citation and summons in the mail. Chelsey took me to her vehicle where I took several photographs and submitted them to the IT Bureau. No damage was reported or observed. Massachusetts Uniform Citation 997066AA and criminal application was issued and mailed to Chelsey for Chapter 90 section 24 Operating to Endanger and Chapter 90 section 14 Failure to slow near pedestrian.

Narrative:
On Thursday 7/15/21 at approximately 0900hrs I was dispatched to 12 Rockland Street for the report of a motor vehicle with heavy damage resting in the middle of the street. Upon arrival I observed a brown Nissan Altima unoccupied not running in the middle of street. Heavy front end damage on the passenger side along with two flat tires on the passenger side. There was no operator on scene but the car was registered to 12 Rockland Street. It should be noted that Rockland Street is a public way located in the City of Newton. I spoke to the reporting party Barry Cocuzzo who lives at 18 Rockland Street. Mr. Cocuzzo stated he witnessed William Power operating the Nissan and turn onto Rockland Street. Mr. Cocuzzo observed Power drive into his driveway with the two flat tires and heavy front end damage. When Power exited the vehicle Cocuzzo yelled over to him but stated Power's was unable to communicate clearly to him. Cocuzzo observed Power's walk into his residence at 12 Rockland and then bereaved the vehicle slowly roll back out of the driveway. Medic 3 and Tody's responded to the scene. Due to the heavy damage and two flat tires Tody towed the vehicle. A towed motor vehicle inventory report was filled out. Medic 3 was called to the scene to evaluate the health of Power's. Officer Tocci and myself located Power's in the residence passed out on the couch. Empty alcohol cans were all around Power's. After several attempts to wake up Power's he finally came too. Power's speech was severely slurred, he could barely keep his eyes upon and he lacked the ability to stand up without assistance. The Medics transported Power's to Newton Wellesley. Power's is being cited (Ma Citation 069847AB and 06850AB) for 90/10/A Unlicensed Operation, 90/24/E Negligent Operation of MV, 90/24/C Leave Scene of Property Damage, 90/24/J OUI Liquor and 90/24/P Use MV Without Authority. 5 photos were taken of the motor vehicle. It should be noted that the original location of the crash and the object that was struck are unknown to us at this time. Dispatch was also able to confirm that Power's did not have an active license at this time. Power's mother Bernice Fougere who is the owner of the vehicle stated to me that Power's did not have permission to use her vehicle.

Narrative:
On October 4th, 2021 at approximately 11:58 hours while working N491 I responded to a report of a past Hit & Run involving a parked MV in front #350 Watertown St, Colonial drug. On my arrival I located one of the involved vehicles a 2009 blue Toyota Venza MA plate RUBRIC with the owner, Suzanne McGowan inside it. She reported parking her car in front of #350 Watertown St while out doing errands. She came back a short time later and found her vehicle had been struck. She found a note attached to her vehicle that said," I'm sorry I hit your car, with a telephone # 617-448-1039," call me". I spoke with the R/P, witness JP Botindari, address Colonial drug, #350 Watertown St. He reported hearing a crash from inside his business which brought him outside to investigate. He then observed a blond haired white female, 40's ruddy complexion wearing ripped blue jeans put a note on the parked vehicle she just hit. He asked her if she was ok? Women said nothing before getting into a grey colored SUV Ma reg.888-oyd.with heavy passenger side damage. The vehicle fled E/B on Watertown St. The registration was later queried but didn't come back to any vehicle. The phone # left on the note was traced back to a women out of Arlington Ma. but after dispatch had spoke with her realized this was not the women involved. The only vehicle attached to her name was a Nissan Pathfinder. Her drivers license picture didn't match the witnessed description either. An attempt will be made to identify the other vehicle through similar license plates. Traffic Bureau update (Officer Gaudet): A query of MV2 (MA: 8880YD) showed it comes back to a 2016 gray Jeep Cherokee registered to Ms. Johanna McGlame out of Newton. I spoke with Ms. McGlame via telephone. Ms. McGlame stated he was involved in the crash and did leave a note on the vehicle she hit with her phone number. Ms. McGlame stated she was traveling on Watertown Street and the passenger side of her vehicle made contact with a parked car. Ms. McGlame stated her vehicle had damage as a result of the crash and it is currently being fixed. Ms. McGlame's vehicle information and contact information was updated in this report. Ms. McGlame will not be cited for leaving the scene of property damage.

Narrative:
At approximately 0922HRs on Friday, October 29, 2021, I was dispatched to 265 Washington St. for a motor vehicle crash with minor injury. Upon arrival, I observed MA Pass: 1ZCM56 parked almost in the on-ramp to I90, causing a potential safety hazard for drivers attempting to enter/exit the highway. The vehicle's driver's side headlight was broken, its front bumper/driver's side fender was partially dislodged and there were scratches and dents in the general area of impact. Parked in front was MA Pass: 2CHV64, which displayed a large scrape on its passenger's side rear bumper, gouges missing from around the wheel well and scratches through the general area of impact. Both vehicles were owned by the operators. The first of which being operated by Marineyde Oliveira (OLN: no status/NRE) and the second of which being operated by Brittany Rivera (MA OLN: S95463618). With the translation assistance of Officer Calderon, I spoke with Marineyde, who stated she was traveling westbound on Washington St., by the entrance to I90. At this time, she attempted to change one lane to the left, when she struck Brittany's vehicle in the rear. Upon requesting her driver's license, Marineyde stated she did not have one.. Upon speaking to Brittany, she stated she was traveling westbound on Washington St., in the lane closest to the concrete island, just before the entrance of I90. It was at this time that Marineyde entered her lane, striking her vehicle in the rear. Brittany stated she then pulled over and exited her vehicle, past the on-ramp and it appeared Marineyde initially was going to drive away without stopping. Brittany then began to signal her to stop by waving both of her arms and Marineyde parked behind her. Brittany, a Spanish speaker herself, asked Marineyde for her driver's license in Spanish, after she watched Marineyde exit the driver's seat, but Brittany was told she did not have one. Because Brittany was concerned that Marineyde initially appeared as if she was going to hit-and-run and because Marineyde did not have a Driver's License, she elected to call The Newton Police. It should be noted that Brittany was complaining of neck pain and stated she would drive herself to Newton-Wellesley Hospital; she signed a patient refusal. Due to Marineyde admitting to me that she was driving without a license, Brittany witnessing said illegal operation, the vehicle being registered to Marineyde and no other party being in her vehicle, I initially placed her under arrest for violating one count of MGL Ch. 90 S. 10 (Operating With Out A License). She was handcuffed behind her back, double locked and placed in the cruiser for transport. Officer Calderon began to transport her to Newton Police Headquarters. However, after discussing the matter with Sergeant Poutas, we came to the belief that the "in the officer's presence" element of the crime would likely not be satisfied by the above, so Marineyde was released forthwith. She will be receiving MA Criminal Citation: T1445781 in the mail for the above offense, as she was already released from the station prior to my arrival. Officer Calderon explained everything pertaining to the initial arrest and that she will be receiving the criminal citation in the mail. This rotary/intersection is a particularly dangerous area, in which we respond to many crash reports. The area where MA Pass: 1ZCM56 was parked, was creating a potential hazard for motorists entering the highway, as well as the many motorists who often exit the ramp, where she was parked, to avoid accidentally entering the highway. Because of this, Todys Services removed the vehicle. Note: Washington St. is A Public Way in The City of Newton. I completed and filed an NPD Towed Motor Vehicle Form and cleared without further incident.

Narrative:
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.

Narrative:
At approximately 1358HRs, on Friday, December 3, 2021, I was dispatched to 225 Boylston St. for a report of a two car Motor Vehicle Crash with no injuries. Upon arrival, I observed both vehicles and noted the following: MV1 sustained scratches to its front passenger's side bumper, fender and headlight area. MV2 sustained damage to its front driver's side door. I confirmed with both operators and neither reported any injury. Upon speaking with the operator of MV1, they stated that they took issue to the way the operator of MV2 was driving around a rotary in The Town Of Brookline (Newton St. and Lagrange St.). They then proceeded in the same direction as MV2 and when they both were in the parking lot of 225 Boylston St., they attempted to pull their vehicle along side MV2 to voice their disapproval. At this point, MV2 was making a left hand turn and MV1 collided with MV2. Upon speaking to the operator of MV2, they stated that the operator of MV1 became upset with them in the Brookline rotary. They then proceeded to 225 Boylston St. to make a return of an item they had purchased. It was when they attempted to turn MV2 left (southbound)/towards an open parking stall that MV1 proceeded from behind them and collided with their door. During my investigation, I ran all parties and the license plates to the respective vehicles they were operating. It was during this time that I discovered the operator of MV1's Driver's License is suspended and I confirmed this through dispatch. To this end, the operator of MV1 was issued, via mail, MA Criminal Citation: T1448277 for violating one count of MGL Ch. 90 S. 23 (Operating With A Suspended License). The operator of MV1 was able to contact a licensed driver to respond to the scene to give them a ride. Note: This Motor Vehicle Crash took place in the parking lot of 225 Boylston St., a shopping mall, in which all the patroness share a public right of access.

On 01/03/22 at approximately 1617 hours Officer Robert March and I, Officer Whitney Hyde, were assigned to N499 when we were dispatched to a 2 car MVA at 160 Needham St with no injuries. Both vehicles were waiting in the parking lot. On location I made contact with the operator of Vehicle 1, identified as Samantha LERNER. LERNER stated that the had been travelling southbound on Needham St and stopped in the center left turn lane to turn into the Farm Grill. When it was clear to turn, LERNER began to turn left when Vehicle 2 passed her on the left and made contact with the driver side front quarter panel of Vehicle 1. I observed scrapes and minor damage to Vehicle 1's front bumper and driver side front wheel rim. LERNER stated that the operator of Vehicle 2, later identified as Leanna LANDE, exited her vehicle at the time of the accident and exclaimed that her dog was dying and she was headed to the animal hospital down the road and they could exchange information there. LERNER proceeded to the animal hospital and was waiting for LANDE to come back out. I then entered the animal hospital and made contact with LANDE. LANDE was extremely upset as her 7 week old puppy had just died. LANDE stated that she had been in a panic because of her dying dog and passed LERNER when she shouldn't have, stating it was "stupid." Outside of the animal hospital I observed Vehicle 2 had minor damage along the length of the passenger side, including scrapes with white paint transfer. I issued LANDE MA Uniform Citation #T1448086 in hand for 89/4A Marked Lanes violation and explained the payment and appeal process. LANDE stated she understood. I provided LANDE and LERNER with the accident number and facilitated their exchange of information before clearing without further incident.

Narrative:
On April 9th 2022, at approximately 0038hrs, while assigned to cruiser N494, I, Officer Dragone, along with Officer Stake (N491) and Sgt. Brooks (N505) responded to the area of 196 Tremont St (public way in the City of Newton) for a report of a motor vehicle accident. Dispatch reported that the reporting party's vehicle was hit while it was parked in front of his address, and the operator of the other vehicle exchanged partial information and then left the scene. Upon arrival, I observed a blue Honda Accord bearing Massachusetts Registration: 1TDF63 (Vehicle 1) parked on the side of the road, blocking the driveway to 196 Tremont St. The vehicle had heavy damage along the driver's side of the vehicle and back left tire was pushed into the wheel well. In front of 190 Tremont St, I also observed a black BMW 528 bearing Massachusetts Registration: 1FDB38 ( Vehicle 2) with heavy damage along the passenger side of the vehicle and the front right wheel was completely detached from the axel. All the airbags in the vehicle were deployed, and it appeared that vehicle 2 was traveling Eastbound on Tremont St when it crashed into vehicle 1 at an angle. It should be noted that there were multiple deep scratches/dents on the hood, roof, and drivers side panels of vehicle 2 that were not consistent with the crash that just occurred; which indicates the operator was in multiple accidents prior to this one. Pro-tech Towing was also on scene to tow vehicle 2. I then spoke to the owner of vehicle 1, Ryan Desrosiers, who stated that his vehicle was parked on the side of the road when he heard a crash outside at approximately 2345hrs. Mr. Desrosiers stated when he went outside, he discovered his vehicle pushed in front of his driveway, approximately 10-15 feet from where he parked it, and the operator of vehicle 2 standing outside. Mr. Desrosiers stated when he spoke to the operator, he smelled like alcohol and had slurred speech. The operator, later identified as, Benjamin Wadsworth, told Mr. Desrosiers that he was "coming from in town" and "probably should have taken a Lyft tonight." When Mr. Desrosiers tried to exchange information, Mr. Wadsworth took Mr. Desrosiers' phone number and then texted him a link to a generic RMV website. Mr. Desrosiers then said Mr. Wadsworth called a tow company for his vehicle and insisted on paying out of pocket tomorrow for the damage to Mr. Desrosiers' vehicle but told him if he wanted he could call his insurance company. According to Mr. Desrosiers, Mr. Wadsworth then walked Eastbound on Tremont St towards Brighton. It should be noted that Mr. Wadsworth did not provide his name, address, or insurance company to Mr. Desrosiers prior to leaving. I had dispatch run a query on vehicle 2 (MA Reg: 1FDB38) and it came back registered to Benjamin Wadsworth out of 13 Charmane Rd East Falmouth, Massachusetts. While speaking with Mr. Desrosiers, the driver of the tow truck called Mr. Wadsworth cell phone to notify him that he was not going to be towing his vehicle. I was then able to get on the phone and speak with him, and he identified himself as Benjamin Wadsworth and admitted to being involved in the accident that just occurred. When I asked Mr. Wadsworth his location because I was concerned for his well-being due to the severity of the crash and airbag deployment, he stated he was at his apartment in Brighton. When I asked for the address of his apartment, he refused to give it to me and stated he was fine. I stated to Mr. Wadsworth that because he only gave limited information and then left the area that he could be charged with Leaving the scene of a collision, to which he replied, "I am in law school you can see the books in the back of my car, you can't do that, you have my plate, he can look that information online." When asked about having an address out of Falmouth, Mr. Wadsworth stated he has two addresses because he attends school in the area. It should be noted that while speaking with Mr. Wadsworth on the phone, his speech was slurred, slow, and dilerbrate, consistent with being intoxicated. Tody's towing arrived on scene and took possession of Mr. Wadsworth's vehicle. I then tried a second time to speak with Mr. Wadsworth via a phone call to get him to agree to a well-being check. Mr. Wadsworth, again, refused to provide me with his address in Brighton, insisting he was fine. Although Mr. Wadsworth sounded intoxicated, he did not sound injured and was coherent when answering my questions. Due to Benjamin Wadsworth operating recklessly, knowingly getting into a collision causing property damage, not providing his name, not providing his address, and leaving the scene, I am issuing him Massachusetts Uniformed Citation T1445620 for the following: MGL. Ch. 90 S.24 (Leaving the scene of a collision after property damage) MGL. Ch. 90 S.24/E (Negligent operation of a motor vehicle) A Request for Immediate Threat License Suspension/Revocation form was filled out and faxed over to the RMV.

Narrative:
On Tuesday, June 28, 2022, while assigned to unit N496, I responded to the area of Langley Road and Hamlet Street, Newton for a report of a roll over crash with 3 injured parties. The weather at the time of this crash was clear and sunny. The road surface in the area of the crash was dry. Langley Road and Hamlet Street are both public ways maintained by the City of Newton. I approached the area of the crash coming from Boylston Street and when I arrived my attention was drawn to two locations on Langley Road. I observed a female party laying prone on the sidewalk area of Langley Road (E) at the Hamlet Street intersection. This female party, later identified as Ms. Melinda Conroy, was being attended to by passerby's in the area. My attention was then drawn to an overturned vehicle resting half in the roadway/half on the sidewalk (W) in front of 323 Langley Road. As I began to run over to the vehicle, I observed a woman standing next to the vehicle screaming frantically. This party identified herself as the driver of the lone vehicle involved, Ms. Natalya Kabanovsky (S65512051). There were parties at the back of the vehicle yelling to me that there was a woman trapped under the vehicle and that they were holding the vehicle up to get her out. I ran over to the rear of the vehicle and observed a female party, later identified as Ms. Annette Sooper, lying underneath the vehicle in the roadway. There was a large pool of blood on the roadway as the result of a laceration to what appeared to be her head/face area. Due to the unknown stability of the vehicle resting on its roof, and due to the passerby's stating they were holding the vehicle up so it did not roll over onto Ms. Sooper, I reached under the vehicle from the rear, grabbed Ms. Sooper's person, and dragged her away from the vehicle to a safe location on the sidewalk. At this time, I observed a large laceration to Ms. Sooper's head and she stated she had suffered a leg injury. Newton Fire and Medics along with additional Police units arrived on scene and took over rendering aid to the victims. I then started to conduct my investigation into the crash. I spoke with the operator of the vehicle, Ms. Kabanovsky. Ms. Kabanovsky stated she was operating her 2005 Lexus ES330 (MA: 293TAB) on Hamlet Street (W) towards Langley Road. Ms. Kabanovsky stated as she approached the intersection, a female party (Ms. Conroy) ahead of her was running across Langley Road (S) at Hamlet Street. Ms. Kabanovsky stated she attempted to hit her brakes, but instead hit her gas pedal. Ms. Kabanovsky's vehicle crashed into Ms. Conroy and then she panicked. Ms. Kabanovsky stated her car then accelerated across the street and crashed. Ms. Kabanovsky stated she was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash and extricated herself from her vehicle after it rolled over onto its roof. I requested Ms. Kabonovsky's license while speaking to her, but she was too upset to located it. I queried Ms. Kabanovsky's license and registration status through Newton Dispatch. Ms. Kabanovsky's license stated is expired as of 12/18/2016. Ms. Kabanovsky registration is active. I observed substantial damage to the entire front end, driver, and passenger side of Ms. Kabanovsky vehicle. Ms. Kabanovsky was evaluated by Newton Medics and complained of right arm pain. Ms. Kabanovsky was also visibly distraught and expressed concern over the two pedestrians involved in the crash. Ms. Kabanovsky was transported to Brigham and Women's Hospital for treatment. I briefly spoke with Ms. Melinda Conroy as she was being attended to by Newton Medics and Fire. Ms. Conroy stated she was running on Langley Road (S) and observed MV1 traveling on Hamlet Street (W) towards Langley Road. Ms. Conroy stated she believed MV1 was slowing down and coming to a stop. Ms. Conroy stated she waved at the vehicle and as she crossed the intersection, MV1 accelerated and crashed into her left side. Ms. Conroy stated she flipped over the vehicle and landed on the roadway. Ms. Conroy was conscious and alert when speaking to Newton Medics and was transported to Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital in Boston. I later spoke with Ms. Conroy after her release from the hospital. Ms. Conroy stated she suffered some bumps and bruises had no major injuries. Officer Pohlman spoke with Ms. Sooper prior to her transport to Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital in Boston by Newton Medics. Ms. Sooper stated she was walking on the sidewalk in front of 323 Langley Road after returning from Newton Centre. Ms. Sooper stated as she was walking, she observed MV1 hit Ms. Conroy and then travel across the street in front of her into a tree. Ms. Sooper stated she does not remember what happened after that. I spoke with Ms. Sooper's son at NPD HQ and was advised Ms. Sooper was admitted to the hospital and suffered a fracture of her left hip and required 6 staples to close a laceration on her head. Tody's Towing responded to the scene and removed MV1 from the roadway. Traffic Officer Wilson took pictures of the scene and submitted them to the IT Bureau. After speaking with all parties involved, Ms. Kabanovsky will be cited with Massachusetts Uniform Citation 494688AB in hand at her residence for Chapter 90, Section 10 (Unlicensed Operation), Chapter 90, Section 24 (Operate To Endanger), and Newton City Ordinance Chapter 19, Section 75 (Fail To Use Care). Ms Kabanovsky was also cited with Massachusetts Uniform Citation 494800AB in hand at her residence for Chapter 90, Section 13A (Fail To Wear A Seat Belt). A Request for Immediate Threat License Suspension/Revocation was completed and submitted to the Registry of Motor Vehicles with supporting documentation via e-mail, DCUImmediateThreat@massmail.state.ma.us.
