Mrs. Weiss stated that she was attempting to back out of her driveway at 285 Crafts Street when her vehicle accelerated for no reason "like a bat out of hell." The vehicle then crossed Crafts street at a high rate of speed, jumped the curb, crossed the large grass island, and only stopped when the vehicle crashed into a tree. Mrs. Weiss was uninjured and signed a patient refusal. The vehicle sustained moderate damage to the tires, undercarriage, and rear bumper and was towed from the scene by Todys. Photos were taken of the damaged city tree and were placed in the IT bureaus mailbox to be attached to this report. Based on the facts that Mrs. Weiss could not explain the reason for the cars acceleration, the distance the vehicle traveled without stopping, and the close proximity of the crash to an elementary and middle school I filed a request for Immediate Threat License Suspension/Revocation. All proper paperwork as well as a copy of this report were faxed to the Registry of Motor Vehicles.

Operator of vehicle one stated that he lost control of his motorcycle near 549 Crafts St due to wet road surface conditions. Operator of vehicle one stated that his motorcycle hit the cub causing him to be thrown from his bike. Operator of vehicle one was transported via EMS to the Beth Israel Hospital in Boston for treatment for a broken leg. Vehicle one was towed by Tody's towing and I filled out a motor vehicle form. Photos of the crash scene and motorcycle were taken and the disk was download by the NPD's It Bureau.

On 08/02/19 I responded to single vehicle crash across the street from #33 Dedham St. The operator of veh #1 stated he was driving due North on Dedham St. when his car veered into the city tree. There was airbag deployment and heavy damage to veh #1. Operator of veh #1 had some cuts and scrapes to legs but was checked out by the Medics and signed a patient refusal. The vehicle was towed by Tody's towing and the operator was issued Mass Citation #T1445105 in hand for CH89/ Sec4a Marked Lanes violation (traveling outside of breakdown lane) and Ch 90/ Sec 18 Speeding (based upon the significant amount of damage to the vehicle and how far the debris was found from the crash site) . The operator was picked up on scene by his daughter. Traffic Officer McSweeney arrived and took pictures of the damage to the city tree.

On 12/30/19 I responded to a single vehicle crash on Dedham St. outside of #268. The operator stated she was traveling due North on Dedham St at 25mph when she lost control of her vehicle due to icy conditions. Tracing back the vehicles tires marks in the slush, the car appeared to cross the double yellow lines near Brush Hill Rd and then back to the correct lane sideways before striking the curb, then a city tree in front of #268 Dedham St. There were multiple air bag deployments in the vehicle. Ambulance #1 arrived on scene and transported the operator due to a complaint of right chest pain from the seatbelt. N523 Traffic Officer Wilson arrived on scene and took pictures of the damage to the city tree. The vehicle was towed by Tody's Towing and the operator was mailed Mass. citation # T2013422 for Ch90/sec17-Speeding (too fast for conditions).

On 6/27/20 at 1742 I responded with multiple units, NFD and medics for a report of a MVA with injuries on Nahanton St. Upon arrival I observed NH Reg 4539251 wrapped around Verizon utility pole 6/15 facing eastbound on Nahanton St. The operator and the passenger behind the operator were trapped inside the vehicle. The front right passenger was able to get out of the car. Multiple witnesses stated that the vehicle was traveling WB and when it came around the bend in the road the operator lost control and spun clockwise into the pole. The vehicle ultimately rested facing the direction it came from, eastbound. NFD responded and was able to free the remaining two passengers from the vehicle. All passengers were transported to Beth Israel Boston for treatment. While on scene, I spoke with the passenger from the front seat who stated they were traveling westbound towards Needham and the operator just lost control around the bend due to the wet surface. There were no other vehicles involved in the accident, Tody's responded to tow the vehicle. Verizon was notified of their utility pole being damaged. Pictures were taken of the scene and turned over to IT to be uploaded to this report. I responded to the hospital to follow up with the occupants but was only allowed to speak with the passengers and not the operator as he was in critical condition with a broken femur and head injuries. The rear passenger stated that he didn't think his son, the operator, was going that fast but he lost control around the bend, he was suffering from neck pain and is in fair condition. The passenger in the front seat suffered minor/unknown leg injuries but hospital staff believed he would be discharged tonight.

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.

On 12/05/2020 at approximately 22:00 hours I was called in to respond to a single vehicle crash with serious injuries in the area of 291 Nahanton St. Nahanton St is a pubic way in the City of Newton. Upon my arrival at the crash scene with Sgt Devine I was briefed by Officers Daly and Anderson, ( see Ofc Daly's report for further information CAD # 20054728 in regard to changes take out against the operator of the truck ) I made the following observations of the crash scene, Nahanton St is a public way in the City of Newton that is a two way roadway divided by an unprotected merdium ( double yellow line ) that runs east to west. The roadway surface was wet due snow and ice. The roadway was plowed and the snow was pushed to the shoulder, althought wet the roadway was icy. There was approximately 2 inches of snow on the shoulders of the roadway. The road was light with overhead head street lights. The posted speed limit is 25 MPH. I observed a 2013 Chevrolet Silverado pick up truck that had major front end damage. The Chevrolet was at an angle with it's front end facing west bound and resting on the grass shoulder and into a wooded area. The Chevrolet rear was sticking out into the shoulder of the east bound lane of Nahanton St. The passenger side front and rear doors of the Chevrolet had been removed by the fire department to extricate the driver and passenger. The driver and passenger side air bags were deployed . The front passenger side windshield of the Chevrolet was completely missing and the driver's side had completely shattered. The front tires, hood, and engine had been compacted on it's self. The front and rear driver's side doors had been mechanically open by the fire department. The speedometer needle had stopped at 54 MPH. The Chevrolet left the roadway and left tire marks in the snow in the eastbound bike lane of Nahanton St. At a 106.4 feet from the beginning of the tire marks the first point of impact was with two tree stumps that were 3.5 feet from the roadway, four feet tall and 3.5 feet in diameter. The tire marks continue in the east bound bike lane and exit the roadway and onto a dirt shoulder at 136.1 feet from the beginning of the tire marks. The truck continued to the right of a utility pole and then it's passenger side made contact with a tree at 170.8 feet from the begin of the tire marks. The tree was 12 feet from the bike lane approximately 5 feet in diameter. The impact with the tree caused the truck to turn so that the rear was facing north east on the dirt shoulder and bike lane. The final point of rest of the rear passenger side tire was 200 feet from the beginning of the tire marks. The truck's rear diver side tire final point of rest was 209 feet from the beginning of the tire marks. The front driver's side tire was compacted into the trucks engine and the passenger side front tire was located behind the tree approximately 20 feet from the roadway. Sgt Devine took photos of the crash area and of the truck and the disk was download by the NPD's IT Bureau. The truck was towed from the crash scene by Todys's Towing to their lot for storage, I fill out a towed motor vehicle form. There were no reported witness who observed the crash. The crash was reported by an unknown passerby. On 12/07/2020 Ofc Gaudet faxed a request for preservation of medical records, blood and urine samples of Schneider to Beth Israel Deconess Medical Center.

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.
