Motor vehicle 1 was traveling eastbound on Wolcott St when she lost control of the vehicle and exited the roadway. The vehicle went across the front lawn of #370 Wolcott causing damage to the property including several trees/bushes. The roadway was covered in snow due to recent snowfall at the time of the accident. The operator of the vehicle reported no injuries and the property owner was notified of the incident. Motor vehicle 1 was towed from the scene by Todys.

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.

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 Saturday January 2, 2021 at approximately 0115 hours I was dispatched to 229 Auburn St for a motor vehicle accident into a tree. MV1 was operating eastbound on Auburn St when it crossed over the marked center lane. MV1 struck the westbound side curb and jumped onto the sidewalk. MV1 then continued on the sidewalk until it struck the tree in front of 229 Auburn St. MV1 sustained total front end damage, as well as driver side damage.
