Narrative:
MV1 stated he got off the Mass Pike Eastbound at exit 17, and once at the top of the ramp, his GPS directed him to take a left onto Washington St. While responding to a separate call, I witnessed MV1 traveling the wrong direction (NE) in the area of 320 Washington St. (one way section of rotary). I activated my blue lights and pulled up to MV1, telling the operator the street was a one way and he needed to turn around. The operator stated he had room to turn around, at which point I blocked Washington St. While turning around, the trailer of MV1 struck a City of Newton concrete light pole and knocked it down. The concrete pole was taped and coned off, and Daigle was notified to respond. Photos were taken and submitted to the IT bureau.

John Pl is a dead end public way in the city of Newton. Waste Management is contracted by the city of Newton to collect trash. Echeverria stated that since John Pl is a dead end it is common practice to back the truck in because making a three point turn at the end of the street would not be feasible. Echeverria stated that MA reg 3SH854 a 2012 Nissan was parked unoccupied facing north bound near 12 Johnson Pl. it should be noted that parking is only permitted on Johnson Pl by city of Newton issued permit only. Echeverria stated that while he backed his truck up the front passenger side bumper made contact with the Nissan's front driver's side quarter panel, front driver's side mirror and front driver's side tire.

Narrative:
On July 10, 2021 at approximately 13:48 hours I responded to the area of 1450 Washington St for a report of a two vehicle crash. Upon arrival, I observed two vehicles with damage in the roadway at 1450 Washington St where the rotary of Washington St crosses over the I90E onramp with damage. MV1 was traveling Eastbound on Washington St and said that they had the green light. They continued through the intersection to the I90E on ramp when MV2 went through the intersection to continue traveling east on Washington St. MV1 was unable to stop in time and struck the passenger's side of MV2. The operator of MV2 was visibly shaken up by the crash and I had the medics respond to evaluate. The operator of MV2 declined medical attention and said that she did not know what happened or if she had a red light. After running both parties, it was discovered that the operator of MV2 had an expired MA license. She was able to renew her license while waiting for a ride but was issued MA uniform citation T2014511 for MGL90/10- Unlicensed Operation of a motor vehicle and MGL 89/9- Failure to stop at red light. MV1 was towed from the scene and MV2 was moved off of the roadway to be driven back by the registered owner.

Narrative:
On 10/21/21 at 15:24 hours, I (Traffic Unit 523) responded to 1479 Washington Street for a motor vehicle accident involving a bicyclist. The weather at the time was seventy three degrees with mostly cloudy skies and some sun(weather.com). The road conditions were dry and Washington Street is a public way maintained by the City of Newton. Washington Street is a two way divided roadway with an unprotected median that runs in a easterly and westerly direction. At this location, there is a marked crosswalk with a walk signal along with traffic signals above in both directions. On arrival, the scene was cleared up and both parties were waiting in the parking lot of the Burke & Blackington Funeral Home at 1479 Washington Street. I spoke to the bicyclist involved who was identified as Rajmattie Thakoordeen. I asked her what occurred and she stated that she was attempting to cross Washington Street in a southerly direction on her electric bicycle. She says that she pushed for the crosswalk signal to activate and once it did she began riding her bicycle when she was suddenly struck by a silver Saab 93. She made it out in to the crosswalk approximately four feet when she was struck by the Saab which was travelling westbound in the right lane of Washington Street. She says that she was struck on the left side of her leg area. She complained of her left leg being sore near her knee area but signed a patient refusal with Fallon Ambulance declining transport. At the time, she was riding a Rad Power Bike Roadrunner 1 Plus that is silver and black in color. It is a Class 2 electric bicycle (750W) that can go up to 20 m.p.h. The only damage it sustained was scrapes to the outside left pedal. Ms. Thakoordeen was wearing black/gray/white pants, yellow reflective jacket, and a black bicycle helmet at the time. Next, I spoke to the operator of the Saab 93 bearing RI registration # FN193. He was identified as Nevan Hanumara with Rhode Island Driver's License # 9960501. He stated that he was travelling westbound on Washington Street in the right travel lane when he came around the curve and noticed the red light signal above in the last second. He says by the time he reacted and attempted to stop he went through the red light and made contact with the bicyclist in the crosswalk. He reported no injuries and no damage to his vehicle. Due to his statement and inattention to the traffic signal, I issued him MA Uniform Citation # 168985AB for Chapter 89/9 Fail to Stop/Yield for the red traffic signal. Digital photos were taken of the scene.

The operator of Vehicle #2 stated that she was attempting to make a left turn on Eliot St when she collided with Vehicle #1 as he attempted to overtake her vehicle. All parties denied medical attention when it was offered, a Lyft passenger in Vehicle #1 complained of a pain in her side as a result of the collision, but declined medical attention several times. The operator of Vehicle #1 produced a Massachusetts ID, and an expired Florida Driver's License. A routine query could not find an active Driver's License for him.

As his vehicle's registration was active, and it was in a valid parking spot, he was allowed to leave it to await a licensed operator to drive it.
