Narrative:
On 01/03/19 at 07:26 hours, I responded to a two car motor vehicle accident at Boylston Street and Ellis Street with one reported minor injury (headache). Operator of MV # 1 states she was exiting the Boylston Street (RT 9EB) off ramp at Ellis Street when she states that she came to a stop for the stop sign. She then inched out and thought it was clear to proceed straight through and struck MV # 2 on both passenger side doors. Operator also stated that she did not think traffic would be allowed to come from the left of her. She was advised that there is a sign below the stop sign that states that the oncoming traffic does not stop. Operator was issued MA Uniform Citation T1441046 for Ch. 89/9 Stop Sign Violation. MV # 1 sustained front end damage to the entire front but was still driveable and the operator reported no injuries. Operator of MV # 2 states she was operating straight through the Boylston Street overpass (SB) on to Ellis Street when she states that MV # 1 never stopped for the stop sign. MV # 1 then proceeded out and struck her vehicle on the passenger side. MV # 2 sustained moderate damage to both passenger side doors and was towed by Tody's towing. The operator complained of a headache but signed a patient refusal with Cataldo Ambulance One.

Narrative:
On 01/26/19 at 09:58 hours, I responded to a two car motor vehicle accident at Chestnut and Elliot Streets with no reported injuries. Both streets are public ways and maintained by the City of Newton. Operator of M/V # 1 (Quinn) states that she was stopped at the intersection of the above mentioned intersection going (EB) on Elliot Street. Once she received the green light signal she proceeded straight through and was struck by M/V # 2 on her passenger side. The vehicle sustained heavy damage to the passenger side front quarter panel area and it was towed by Tody's towing. Operator of M/V # 2 (Sanaguaray) states that he was operating straight ahead (NB) on Chestnut Street. He states that he thought the signal light was yellow when he proceeded through and does not recall what happened next. The vehicle sustained heavy front end damage and it was towed by Tody's towing. There were two witnesses to the accident. The first one, Karen Cherson, stated that she was traveling behind M/V # 2 when she observed him speeding and run through the red light striking M/V # 1. She said that the light was red by at least two seconds when M/V # 2 went through it. The second witness, John Quackenbush, states he was operating behind M/V # 1 when he observed their travel lane receive the green light signal. M/V # 1 then attempted to proceed through the intersection when it was struck on the passenger side by M/V # 2. Based on the two witness statements, it appears that Sanaguaray (M/V # 2) proceeded straight through the above mentioned intersection against the red light signal and struck M/V # 1. Sanaguaray was also operating a motor vehicle without a license and was issued a MA Uniform Citation # T1441052 for Ch. 89/9 and Ch. 90/10/A. He further stated that he has resided in Massachusetts for five years and was assigned a number of #S19552221 through the MA RMV but it shows no license status.

Narrative:
MV1 was traveling SOUTH on Cherry St through the intersection of Webster St. MV2 was traveling WEST on Webster St through the same intersection. MV2 collided with MV1 inside of the Cherry St/Webster St intersection causing heavy front end damage to MV2 and damage to the rear drivers side wheel and fender. MV1 operator, Leah Wilson, stated that she had a green light and proceeded through the intersection when she was hit by MV2. MV2 operator, Caroline Steiner, and her 12yo daughter (passenger/front seat) Lorelai Steiner, stated that they were proceeding through the green light and observed MV1 going at a high rate of speed through the intersection. No injuries reported. Both vehicles towed by Tody's. MV1 operator, Leah Wilson was issued in hand MA Uniform Citation T1440472 for 89/9 - Red Light/Fail. On scene, I observed debris surrounding the four-way intersection and MV1 laid to rest past the intersection and facing the wrong direction in traffic. The damage to both vehicles was severe and MV1 had air bag deployment. The reporting party was an NPD auxiliary officer who had responded prior to my arrival because he heard the crash from the backyard of the police station which is approximately 350-400ft. Based on my training and experience, I believed Leah Wilson to be traveling through the intersection while failing to yield to the traffic control device.

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.

On Friday 4/12/2019 at approx 2226hrs, while assigned N-494, I responded to the intersection of Washington St and Centre St (public way)for a 2 vehicle MVA. Upon arrival all parties stated they were uninjured. Operator of MV1 stated that he was in the Left Turn Only lane onto Washington St. He immediately stopped when he noticed a car to his left collide with his trailer. Operator of MV2 states that he was also in the Left Turn Only lane onto Washington St. and that MV1 came over from Left Turn/Straight lane on his right. Given that both operators stated that their vehicles had not been moved from where the collision occurred it is evident that MV2 was in the Left Turn Only lane onto I-90 and attempted to change lanes. It should be noted that the crash diagram is accurate to what I observed on scene. Operator of MV2 was cited for marked lanes MGL c89s 4C citation #T1268551 No damage visible to MV1. MV2 had passenger side paint damage.

On Wednesday, May 22nd 2019, at approximately 6:53am, I, Officer Brooks, responded to Crafts street at Albemarle road for a report of a 2 car MVA. Upon my arrival I spoke with the operator of MV1(MA REG 9MJ713 ), who stated he was traveling northbound on Albemarle road. He stated he stopped at the stop sign at the intersection with Crafts street, and traffic traveling Eastbound on Crafts street stopped to let him cross over Crafts street and continue on Albemarle road. As he proceeded through the stop sign, he was struck on the drivers side front end by MV2(MA REG 7HJ262), which had crossed over the center line of Crafts street traveling Eastbound, passing the cars which had stopped to let MV1 out. MV1 had damage to the drivers side front quarter panel and front bumper. The operator was not injured. I then spoke with the operator of MV2 who stated she was traveling Eastbound on Crafts street, and was attempting to take a left hand turn onto North street, so she was driving in the center lane. The center lane the operator is referring to is actually a left hand turn lane for vehicles traveling Westbound on Crafts street for vehicles who wish to turn onto Albemarle road. There is no right of way in that center lane for vehicles traveling Eastbound. MV2 had damage to the passenger side front quarter panel. The operator was uninjured. The operator of MV2 was issued a citation in hand for 89/4A Marked lanes violation. She notified AAA for a tow. MV1 was towed by Tody's. Both operators were provided the crash report number.

On 07/12/19 at 11:36 hours, I responded to Elliot and Oak Streets for a two car motor vehicle accident with no reported injuries. That intersection has a three way stop sign for all travel lanes. Operator of MV1 states he was traveling eastbound on Elliot Street and stopped for the stop sign at Elliot and Oak Streets. After, he proceeded straight through the intersection and was struck by MV2 on his passenger side rear wheel area. He states that MV2 never stopped for their stop sign and was coming through the intersection from Oak Street. I observed passenger side rear wheel and bumper damage to this vehicle but it was still driveable. Operator of MV2 states that she could not recall exactly what occurred but that she stopped for the stop sign. She could not provide which way she was traveling only stating that she was attempting to turn around and pull over to right side of the road to park. I observed damage to the driver's side front bumper area but the vehicle was still driveable. Based on the debris in the road and damage to the vehicles, it appears that MV2 never stopped for the stop sign on Oak Street (NB) as the other operator was proceeding through. MV2 then angled the vehicle to the right in order to pull over and park on the other side of the road. While doing so, she struck MV1. The operator was issued MA Uniform Citation # T1444918 for a Stop Sign Violation.

Narrative:
Operator #1 states he was driving northbound on Lexington St operating MA reg 47C440 (vehicle #1). Once at the green light at Lexington/Rumford Ave, operator #1 attempted to take a left turn onto Rumford when MA reg 4FR581 (vehicle #2) collided with him. Vehicle #2 was driving eastbound on Rumford and operator #1 states he did not see the car until the crash occurred. Operator #2 reports he was driving eastbound on Rumford and was attempting to take a right turn onto Lexington St at the intersection. Operator #2 acknowledges that he had a red light but states he stopped prior to turning (right on red is allowed). It should be noted that upon my arrival on scene, vehicle #2 was located partially in the intersection with airbags deployed and I am not able to conclude that vehicle #2 was in fact turning right. The point of impact does appear to be the left front area. Operator #2 states he doesn't know what happened, and that vehicle #1 may have oversteered the left turn. The damage to both vehicles is extensive and mostly contained to the front end/undercarriage areas. Both vehicles were towed by Tody's and all parties signed patient refusals from medics on scene.

After the accident I spoke to a witness who stated he had video of the incident. Jose Buenrrostro works at 2310 Washington St and was able to show me the footage. In the footage you can see vehicle 1 not slow down for the yellow light on Washington which turns red before she reaches the intersection. She then attempts to swerve around vehicle 2 but was unable to causing the collision. All three vehicles were towed by todys. The operator of vehicle 1 was transported to Brighams Hospital by Cataldo for injuries. Both other operators signed patient refusals with the medics.

On 03/18/20 at approximately 13:01 I responded to the intersection of Winchester St and Heatherland Rd. for a two vehicle crash. Upon arrival I spoke with Newton Police Detail Officer Schaefer who was involved in the accident. Officer Schaefer was operating his own vehicle (Mass Reg#1JP123 Blue 2001 Cadillac Deville) and headed back to a paid Feeney Brothers detail. Officer Schaefer stated he was traveling due South down Winchester St. approximately 30mph when a light colored vehicle (later determined to be Mass Reg#9FG942- Grey 2010 Toyota Prius operated by Rosana Cristina Brasileiro) pulled out of the one-way Heatherland Rd, the wrong way. Officer Schaefer stated the Prius struck him on his drivers side front and rear doors causing the vehicle to crash into the curb and causing his side air bag to deploy. Officer Schaefer was wearing his seatbelt but struck his head off the interior of his vehicle. I attempted to speak with the operator of the other vehicle Rosana Brasileiro but she only spoke Portuguese. Newton Fire Department Engine #7 was also on scene and Fire Fighter Ian Moniz stated he spoke a different dialect but was able to communicate with her. Fire Fighter Moniz translated for me and I was able to ascertain that Brasileiro stated she was driving due West on Heatherland Rd(wrong way) when she didn't see the other vehicle and made contact with it. I asked Brasileiro for a License and she handed me a Brazilian Passport and stated she didn't have a license. She stated she was just visiting from Brazil and that she was operating her bosses vehicle. Brasileiro was handed Mass. Criminal Citation #T2080843 for Ch90/ Sec10- Unlicensed Operation, Ch90/ Sec 16-Operating on a one way the wrong way and Ch 89/ Sec 8-Failure to yield to the right of way.

On 08/21/20 at 13:32 hours, I responded to Boylston & Chestnut Streets for a two car motor vehicle accident involving no injuries. On arrival, both vehicles were pulled over to the right side of the road by 917 Chestnut Street. Operator of M/V# 1 states she was traveling straight ahead on the westbound off ramp of Boylston Street at Chestnut Street. She states she stopped for the stop sign and was attempting to proceed straight through the intersection. Next, she states she was looking towards the right for oncoming traffic and thought it was clear to proceed both ways when she made contact with M/V # 2 in the intersection. I observed moderate damage to the driver's side front quarter panel area/bumper but the vehicle was still driveable. Operator of M/V# 2 states he was traveling straight ahead northbound on Chestnut Street at Boylston Street. He says that he believes M/V # 1 stopped for the stop sign but was inching out in to the intersection. He says that once she came out he attempted to apply his brakes to no avail and the two made contact. I observed moderate damage to the front passenger side quarter panel/bumper area but the vehicle was still driveable. As a result of the accident and the fact that the operator entered the intersection when it was not clear to proceed, I issued the Operator of M/V# 1 MA Uniform Citation# T2015936 for Ch. 89/9 Failure to Stop for Stop Sign.

On Wednesday 1/13/2021 at approx 1802hrs, while assigned to N494, I responded to the intersection of Mandalay Rd and Waverley Ave in Newton(both public ways). Upon arrival MV1 was resting on the sidewalk which damaged a brick wall(11 Clements Rd). Both vehicles involved had their airbags deployed. Operator of MV1 stated she was traveling NB on Waverley Ave. She states she did not see MV2 at all before the crash. Zwick was transported to NWH for neck pain. Operator of MV2 states she was traveling straight ahead and was attempting to cross Waverley Ave. She said she did not see the Stop sign on her side of the intersection. It should be noted that a backhoe was legally parked on Mandalay but would appear to have obstructed motorists from seeing the stop sign. Pictures were taken and submitted to IT. The owner of the brick wall that was damaged was notified. It should be noted that MV2 had an expired registration. Parrilla, operator of MV2, was cited for stop sign violation and operating an expired vehicle.

The vehicle involved was described as a 4 door blue sedan and had fled the scene northbound on Adams street.

The blue sedan was traveling westbound on Washington street and turned northbound on Adams street ignoring the crosswalk signal. King stated he was struck on the right side of his body and knocked to the ground. The operator of the car stopped briefly and stated the sun had been in his eyes before driving away. King complained of pain to his right arm, and was transported by Fallon ambulance services to NWH. It should be noted it was day light, the weather was clear, and King was wearing a green plaid jacket, a plaid hat, and blue jeans. Due to the fact the vehicle had fled the scene and the victim was aready being tended to by the medics photos were not taken.

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 07/28/21 at 13:39 hours, I (Traffic Unit # 523) responded to 10 Cummings Road for a past hit and run motor vehicle bicyclist crash which occurred approximately twenty minutes prior. Dispatch updated units that the accident occurred at the intersection of Watertown and Walnut Streets and that a white colored SUV left the scene after striking the bicyclist. The white SUV was last seen heading southbound on Walnut Street towards Washington Street. The bicyclist then walked back home to 10 Cummings Road and told her mother about the incident. The mother then notified NPD. Watertown Street and Walnut Street are both public ways maintained by the City of Newton. It is a four way intersection with crosswalks on every side. There are no turn on red signs on every corner of the intersection. The weather at the time was partly cloudy and sunny and the road conditions were dry. On arrival at 10 Cummings Road, I spoke to the mother identified as Vanessa Cruz and her daughter, Angelique Cruz, who was involved in the crash. Fallon Ambulance was already on scene and a patient refusal was signed as Angelique did not have any injuries. I asked Angelique what had occurred and she stated that she left FA Day Middle School at approximately 13:00 hours. It is estimated that the crash took place between 13:10 and 13:20 hours. She was then bicycling down to the intersection of Walnut & Watertown Streets. She says that she pushed the walk signal button to cross the street at the crosswalk to continue southbound on Walnut Street towards Lowell Avenue. Once the cross signal light activated, she bicycled through the crosswalk. At the tail end of the crosswalk, her rear bicycle tire on the right side was struck by a white SUV making a right turn on to Walnut Street from Watertown Street. She was then knocked to the ground where she sustained a scrape mark to her left knee on her sweat pants. The white SUV continued southbound on to Walnut Street without stopping. She feels that the driver might of misjudged taking the right turn and never realized that she struck her. Angelique says she only saw a female operator in the SUV and could not determine the race or age. She also did not observe the registration on the vehicle. She further stated that a female assisted her up from the ground. Once she said she was fine she then proceeded home. No one else phoned 911 regarding the incident. At this point, I asked to see the bicycle which was stored away. The bicycle is a Schwinn Sidewinder 21 speed color black with lime green block style writing for the brand and model on it. Both tires have white reflectors attached to them. I observed no damage to the bicycle. At the time of the crash, Angelique stated she was wearing purple sweat pants, blue sweater, and no bicycle helmet. She was also carrying a black backpack attached to her rear shoulders. I took digital photos of Angelique along with her Schwinn bicycle. After, I went over to the intersection of Watertown and Walnut Streets and took photos of the scene. A canvass was also conducted that produced negative results. I observed no surveillance cameras on the buildings or residences that are near the intersection. At 109 Walnut Street, I spoke to several tenants in the six unit apartment complex and they have no security cameras. 583 Watertown Street has no cameras along with 592 Watertown Street. I also checked near the intersection of Walnut and Washington Streets as the white SUV was last seen heading in that direction. The Trio apartment complex along with other businesses are lined against both streets and have outside security cameras. I spoke to the leasing office and they stated that the cameras do not provide any coverage of the street area.

Narrative:
Centre Street and Church Street are public ways in the City of Newton. The OP. of MV#1 states he was travelling southbound on Centre Street, proceeding through a green light when a vehicle suddenly came out of a side street and collided with him. That vehicle struck the curb and continued down Centre Street without stopping. The OP. of MV#2 states he isn't from around here and was trying to get home to Worcester. He was driving down an unknown roadway when a vehicle suddenly came into his lane and collided with him. There weren't any shoulders on the roadway so he couldn't pull over right away and kept driving until he found a safe area. Witness#1 (Mr. TING) stated he was driving behind MV#1 and they had the green light on Centre Street. MV#2 came out of Church Street and collided into MV#1, then crashed into the curb and continued driving down Centre Street without stopping. Witness#2 (Mr. O'CONNELL) stated he was at the front porch of 150 Church Street when he heard two loud crashes. He observed a motor vehicle accident and a black vehicle kept driving without stopping and the silver vehicle was stopped at the intersection. Witness#3 (Mr. SPENSIERI) stated he was at the front porch of 150 Church Street when he heard two loud crashes before looking over. He observed a motor vehicle accident where another vehicle kept driving away from the scene. He ran after the vehicle that wasn't stopping (MV#2) and was able to follow along because MV#2 was going slowly with blown tires. He followed MV#2 down Centre Street towards Washington St. MV#2 took a right at the intersection and continued down Washington Street before making another right turn onto Park Street. MV#2 finally stopped at Elmwood Street by Park Street where Mr. SPENSIERI phoned it in. The OP. of MV#1 signed a patient refusal with medics. The OP. of MV#2 complained to Sgt. Walton of a head injury and was transported to St. Elizabeth's Hospital. There was a MBTA bus sign knocked over at the accident location. There are multiple parking spots on Centre Street and on Vernon Street that the OP. of MV#2 could have pulled over to be safely out of traffic but he did not. He drove for approx. 0.3 miles on two flat tires before pulling over at Elmwood Street. The OP. of MV#2 was advised that he will be receiving a citation in the mail for his motor vehicle violations.

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.

Narrative:
Bicyclist Winter Douglass stated that they were riding their bike east bound in the bike lane on Beacon St near Union St on 11/01/2021 at 18:20 hours. Douglass stated that an SUV ( MA reg 2ZVE39 2019 Chevrolet Tahoe ) that had taken a prohibited left turn from Union St onto Beacon St was blocking the bike lane. Douglass stated that they attempted to pass the SUV on the right but could not. Douglass stated that they crashed into the rear driver's side of the SUV. Douglass was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash. Douglass's bike was equipped with lights on the front and back. Douglass was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital via EMS for a left shoulder injury. Susan Hynds the operator of the SUV stated that they turned left from Union St on to Beacon St and were stopped in traffic when the crash occurred. Hynds stated that they did not see the posted sign prohibiting left turns from Union St onto Beacon St. Hynds stated that she and her son, Sean Hynds ( DOB 07/12/2010 ) who was a passenger in the SUV were not injured. Hynds's SUV had a dent in the rear driver's side and it did not require a tow. I took photo's of the SUV and the posted no left turn sign and turned the disk over to the NPD's IT Bureau. Douglass's bike had no visible damage and it was transported to the station and secured at Support Services. I issued Hynds MA Uniform Citation T2016744 for a violation of MGL 90/14 improper left turn.

Narrative:
On Thursday 11/18/21 at approximately 834 hours while assigned to marked unit n498 I was dispatched to the intersection of Needham Street and Winchester Street for a report of a minor motor vehicle crash with no injuries. Upon arrival I spoke with detail Officer Colella who states to me he was approached by several motorists stating the operator of the Volkswagon Jetta had raced through the intersection going straight and in doing so went through the red light causing the crash. After speaking with Ofc. Colella I spoke with the operator of the Volkswagon Jetta, PETINOW Vladimir, who states to me he was travelling Westbound on Dedham Street approaching the intersection that was backed up with traffic due to the ongoing construction on Needham Street and Winchester Street. PETINOW states when he was in the intersection the light was green and when it turned red he was stuck in the middle and forced to go through the red light striking Motor Vehicle #1 (Acura MDX). PETINOW stated to me he knew the crash was his fault but didn't know what else to do when he was in the middle of the intersection. After speaking with PETINOW I spoke with the operator of the Acura MDX, ST. VICTOR Roosvelt, who states he was travelling southbound on Winchester Street proceeding through the green light at the intersection when he was struck by the Volkswagon Jetta coming from Dedham Street. After speaking with all parties involved and the statements given to me by Officer Colella and taking into account the manner of the collision which indicated to me the Volkswagon Jetta was not yet in the intersection when the light turned red and he proceeded into the path of the ACURA Mdx who had the green light, hence, the right of way. Due to these circumstances I issued Massachusetts Uniform Citation T2012911 to Vladimir Petinow for violation of C89 S9 Failure To Stop at Red Light.

Narrative:
On Tuesday, November 23, 2021, while assigned to Traffic unit N525, I was asked to investigate a past hit and run crash involving a City of Newton School Traffic Supervisor. Mr. Mark Dumoulin reported to the Newton Police Traffic Bureau that sometime during his assigned school crossing post on the morning of November 23, 2021, a passing vehicle made contact with his left leg while he was crossing children on Ward Street. I responded to Newton Wellesley Hospital to speak with Mr. Dumoulin. Mr. Dumoulin stated this morning, he was at his assigned school crossing post of Ward Street and Waverly Avenue in his official capacity as a City of Newton School Traffic Supervisor. Mr. Dumoulin stated he was wearing his department issued yellow reflective jacket and his department issued yellow hi-vis gloves. Mr. Dumoulin stated he also had his department issued stop sign with him while performing his duties. Mr. Dumoulin stated at some point during his post (0745-0830 hours), he was attempting to cross two children on Ward Street (S to N). Mr. Dumoulin stated he entered the crosswalk of Ward Street on the NE corner of Ward Street at Waverly Avenue. Mr. Dumoulin stated the pedestrian signal was activated at this time and the intersection traffic signals were all red. Mr. Dumoulin stated while entering the crosswalk, he observed a black Honda sedan traveling on Stuart Road (E) towards the intersection of Ward Street and Waverly Avenue. Mr. Dumoulin stated the license plate had 3 characters on it and believes the first letter may have been "E". Mr. Dumoulin stated the operator was a heavy set female with blonde hair in her 30's or 40's. Mr. Dumoulin stated the operator appeared to speed up towards his location to beat the light turning red. Mr. Dumoulin stated the vehicle then continued through the intersection onto Hammond Street (E), but it did not keep right with the normal flow of traffic and entered the Westbound lane of Hammond Street. Mr. Dumoulin stated he attempted to get the operators attention to stop her from continuing in the wrong lane of Hammond Street. Mr. Dumoulin stated at this time, the vehicle made contact with his left knee area and continued traveling down Hammond Street with out stopping. Mr. Dumoulin stated the children he was crossing were not near the vehicle and they did not see the contact. I asked Mr. Dumoulin if there were any other witnesses in the area. Mr. Dumoulin stated he does not believe there were. Mr. Dumoulin reported this collision to the Newton Police Traffic Bureau at approximately 1030 hours. I asked Mr. Dumoulin why he did not contact us when the incident first took place. Mr. Dumoulin stated he thought his injury was superficial and that he knew we were busy. At this time, Mr. Dumoulin is reporting a left knee injury as a result of the crash. Mr. Dumoulin stated vehicles travel on the wrong side of the medium on Hammond Street all the time and estimates it happens 3 times every school post. Mr. Dumoulin also stated the keep right sign on Hammond Street near the crash site needs to be addressed because some of the letters are peeling. I canvassed the area where the crash occurred for the fleeing vehicle with a negative result. I also covered the afternoon school post (1450-1535 hours) to ask passing students if they witnessed the crash with a negative result. I observed the "Keep Right" sign Mr. Dumoulin made mention of at this location. The sign appears to be in working condition and visible from Stuart Road. I took photos of the intersection where the crash happened and submitted them to the IT Bureau. On November 24, 2021, I covered Mr. Duboulin's school crossing post again for the morning post. While canvassing the area I observed a dark colored Mercedez sedan with a 3 character registration parked on Exmoor Street that resembled the vehicle Mr. Duboulin described as the fleeing vehicle. I attempted to contact the registered owner of this vehicle, Ms. Judtich Zukor. Ms. Zukor stated she could not speak at this moment and asked me to call her back. I will follow up with Ms. Zukor.

On 01/27/2022 while working a detail for Feeney Utility Co, Lt Healy called over the air that he had just witnessed a motor vehicle pedestrian accident at his location and that no one was injured. On arrival I spoke to the pedestrian involved, Jinny Lin who stated he was walking northbound on Lowell Ave and was crossing Highland Ave in the marked crosswalk when he was struck by vehicle 1. Lin stated he was more than halfway across the street when he was struck. Lin said he was only bumped by the vehicle and was never knocked over. Lin had already notified his mother, Tina Chan who arrived on scene shortly after. Lin was seen by Fallon medics and signed a patient refusal. I than spoke to the operator of vehicle, Ali Roozbehani1 who stated he was traveling southbound on Lowell Ave and saw that it was blocked off and detoured down Highland Ave due to road construction. Roozbehani said he was slightly blinded due to solar glare as he made a left turn onto Highland Ave and as he did so struck a pedestrian. Roozbehani had no damage to his vehicle and was uninjured. I took several digital images of the scene and submitted them to IT to be attached to this report. Roozbehani was issued MA Uniform Citation #T2016735 for 89/11 pedestrian in a crosswalk.

Narrative:
On July 4, 2022 at approximately 06:56 hours I, Officer Guarino, responded to the area of Commonwealth Ave at Centre St for a report of a motor vehicle crash. Upon arrival, I observed the fire and medics on scene with a two vehicle motor vehicle crash, one of which was a rollover. MV1 was on the roof of its car in the northbound lane of Centre St. MV2 was in the Eastbound Lane of Commonwealth Ave. I spoke with the operator of MV2, Annika Morris-Kelly who told me that she was traveling Eastbound on Commonwealth Ave when she stopped at the red light. The light turned green and she began to go, as she proceeded, she noticed MV1 traveling southbound on Centre St and tried to stop but crashed into MV1. I spoke with the operator of MV1, Luymar Bezerra, who said that he was traveling southbound on Centre St and did not see the traffic signals due to the trees on the side of the road and continued through the intersection causing the crash. I asked Luymar for his license and registration. He provided me with a passport and a CT registration for his vehicle. Luymar said that he did not have a license on his posession and did not have a valid license within the United States. He said that he had a Portugese driver's license and has been in the country for less than a year. I was unable to confirm this information and issued a criminal complain against Luymar Bezerra on MA Uniform Citation T1447651 for MGL 90/10 Unlicensed Operation of a motor vehicle. I explained the citation to Bezerra, who said that he understood. All partied involved were seen by medics and signed a patient refusal. Both vehicles were towed from the scene by Todys.
