On Tuesday, July 23rd 2019, at approximately 5:24pm, I, Officer Brooks, responded to 444 Lowell avenue for a 2 car MVA. Upon my arrival I observed MV1(NH REG 4120041) with heavy front end damage. The vehicle was located in the driveway of 444 Lowell avenue, with the front end sticking out into the roadway. I spoke with the operator of MV1 who stated he was trying to exit the driveway and turn left onto Lowell avenue southbound, when he was struck by MV2(MA REG 3AP243) which had been traveling northbound on Lowell avenue. According to the operator of MV1, MV2 had been traveling at a high rate of speed and tried to swerve around him. There was airbag deployment in MV1 however the operator signed a patient refusal with Cataldo. MV1 was towed by Tody's. I then spoke with the operator of MV2 who stated she was traveling northbound on Lowell avenue and saw MV1 exiting the driveway. She assumed he was going to stop pulling out of the driveway, and when he did not she stated she attempted to swerve around him. MV1 made contact with the passenger side rear wheel well of MV2 causing MV2 to spin out. The operator was not injured and arranged for a private tow due to the damage in the wheel well area.

On 1/23/19 while working N493, I responded to 966 Watertown St for an MVA, car into a building. Business name is TIEM. The operator (operator #1) was the sole occupant of the vehicle (MA reg 4PW429, now known as vehicle #1). I was able to obtain a statement from operator #1 while medics and fire were en route. Operator #1 told me that she was driving eastbound on Watertown St when vehicle #2 (MA reg 1BSN69) pulled out to take a left from the Shell Gas Station at 979 Watertown St. Operator #1 had to swerve to the right in order to avoid a collision with vehicle #2. This caused vehicle #1 to crash into the exterior brick wall of 966 Watertown St. There was airbag deployment and visible structural damage to the business, however it did not appear severe. The operator of vehicle #2 was still on scene and confirmed the events that operator #1 spoke of. Operator #2 stated she did not see vehicle #1 as she was pulling out due to heavy traffic flow and parked cars. Vehicle #2 did not make contact with any other car or structure. Vehicle #1 sustained heavy front end damage and was towed by Tody's. Operator #1 was checked out by the medics but declined transport. The owner of the business affected was notified and responded to the scene. He was provided this report number for insurance purposes. No emergency accomodations or notifications needed be made in regards to the damage. It should be noted that a witness remained on scene and verified what operator #1 said transpired. His contact information was provided and is listed in the appropriate field, along with the business owner info for TIEM. Operator #2 was issued in hand MA citation T2079187 and sent on her way.

I responded to 1641 Beacon St. for a report of an MVA/Hit &Run. I arrived on location and spoke with Alicia Ianiere MA OLN#S84312664.

On 9/1/20 while working N493, I responded with N497 and the Fire Dept to 40 Crescent St for a report of a car into the house. On arrival I observed MA 6CM450 in the backyard of #40 unit C. It was stationary against the large AC Compressor in the rear of the unit, and appeared to had run over several large shrubs before coming to a stop. I spoke with vehicle owner and operator Marion Cohen 8/27/46. Cohen stated that as she was parking in the rear lot of the complex, she accidentally mistook the brake for the gas pedal. She in turn ended up going over the curb and through some bushes before hitting the compressor. There was a passenger in the vehicle identified as Milton Kornfeld 3/10/42. Both occupants were checked out by medics and declined transport. The airbags did not deploy. There does not appear to be any structural damage to anything other than the compressor. NFD checked the integrity of the house, and the compressor was unplugged. I took pictures of the scene and submitted the memory card to IT. Homeowner Xiaozhi Zhao and his family were present inside at the time of the collision and are unharmed. Tody's responded and removed the vehicle from the property. It sustained heavy front end damage and was towed to their lot via flatbed. A m/v inventory form was filled out. This report number has been provided to all parties for their respective insurance companies.

Operator #1 states that she was traveling northbound by 226 Lexington St when she observed vehicle #2, a white Ford Explorer, approaching at a high rate of speed from Lexington St southbound. Vehicle #2 then crossed the double yellow line into the northbound lane, subsequently sideswiping vehicle #1. Operator #1 states that two parties exited the Explorer and spoke briefly to her. Once she requested to exchange information, the two refused and drove away on Lexington St southbound. Operator #1 described the parties as a hispanic male and hispanic female, around 50 years old. The male party was balding/or bald, and the female was wearing a silver turtleneck. Operator #1 noted that it was the male who was operating the vehicle both during the collision and as the vehicle left the scene. While medics were documenting a patient refusal for operator #1, Ofc Ciccone was en route to NPD headquarters to report for duty in his p/v and heard the broadcast for the suspect vehicle. Ofc Ciccone observed a white Explorer with a flat tire traveling an estimated 50+ mph past him on South Ave by Park Rd in Weston heading towards Natick. This location is approximately 2.2 miles from the crash site and is accessible from 226 Lexington St by heading southbound, taking a right, and continuing straight on Rt 30. Weston Pd was immediately notified and the vehicle was located in a driveway at 7 High Meadow Rd, a residence directly on the corner of Rt 30. Sgt Rooney and Ofc Ciccone (who was able to take a spare cruiser and call into service as this incident unfolded) responded and met Weston PD. While on scene, it was explained to all officers by the resident of 7 High Meadow Rd, Helder Quesada, that he was walking his dog and observed the white Explorer broken down in an unsafe spot. Quesada offered up his driveway to park the vehicle as the male and female occupants waited for assistance. Quesada allegedly does not know Lopez and Albizureis, and all involved persons were outside in the driveway when police located the vehicle. The description of the male asociated with the Explorer matched that which operator #1 gave to me- a hispanic male balding in his 50's. He was in the presence of a hispanic female who was wearing a silver colored turtleck. The male was identified as Armando Lopez-Rubi DOB 1/1/73 and the female Ana Maria Albizureis DOB 11/27/73. The Explorer was MA reg 6GZ591, registered to a different party then all on scene. It had obvious damage to the left side doors consistent with an opposite direction sideswipe. With the translation assistance of Helder Quesada, Lopez-Rubi stated to Sgt Rooney and Officer Ciccone that he was in fact driving somewhere near Starbucks "on the corner" when he got into an accident (there is a large Starbucks located on the corner of Commonwealth Ave and Lexington St in Newton). Lopez originally said that the other involved vehicle left the scene, however it was pointed out by Sgt Rooney that the operator was currently stopped in Newton talking to me and was cooperative. Upon routine query it was discovered that Lopez-Rubi does not have a license to operate a motor vehicle. Pursuant to the investigation, Officer Ciccone issued in hand to Lopez MA citation R8006998 for the following: 89/4a- Marked Lanes Violation 90/24- Leaving Scene of Property Damage 90/10- Unlicensed Operation of a Motor Vehicle. Vehicle #2 was left in the driveway of 7 High Meadow Rd with Helder Quesada's permission. Quesada also volunteered to drive home both Lopez and Albizureis to Framingham, as he was feeling charitable. Vehicle #1 was towed by Tody's due to the amount of damage and airbag deployment. A m/v inventory form was filled out.

On November 23rd, 2021 at approximately 14:08 hours while working N491 I responded to #25 Pearl St for a report of a MV crash with airbag deployment. On my arrival I located the involved vehicle a 2021 black Cadillac, Ma reg. K9195 with extensive damage on the property of a four unit condominium complex that abuts #275 Centre St(Plaza). The operator who was standing outside her vehicle was identified as Margaret Cloherty. She appeared uninjured from this crash.

She attempted to brake but her vehicle continued straight through the parking lot continuing to accelerate before finally crashing through a wooden fence and onto the property to #21 to #27 Pearl ST. Ms Cloherty was evaluated by the Medics but refused to by transported to the hospital. She signed a patient refusal form. Her vehicle which appeared to be totaled was towed from the scene by Todys. The property owner of the fence was identified as Steve Knapp 508-958-1906 was contacted by police. He will be provided a copy of this report of his insurance.

I responded to 275 Grove St for a report of a two car MVA/no injuries. I arrived on location and observed the two involved vehicles pulled into the parking lot of 275 Grove St. V1; MA Reg. 2JNS36, 2022 Hyun/Kona SUV color blue. V1 operator; Magazine, Jerod, MA OLN #SA2390987. V2; MA Reg. 341CE8, 2008 Jeep/GRACHE util. color black. V2 Operator; Davis, Michael, MA OLN#S12649728. The crash occurred on Grove St. directly in front of the entrance to 275 Grove St./Riverside Center and directly across from the Woodland Park Apt. complex. V2 operator stated he was exiting the apt complex turning left onto Grove St. (southbound). At that time V1 travelling southbound on Grove St. collided into the passenger side of V2. The roadway is two way divided by a median island. There is a traffic light that set on flash at the time of the crash. Both operators stated their visibility was obstructed by the snow bank on the median island. Neither of the operator's were injured as a result of the collision. there was no airbag deployment in either vehicle. Both vehicles were driveable and did not require towing services. The operators were advised and left the area in their vehicles without further incident.

Newton Police, Fire and Medics were dispatched to Commonwealth. Ave. and Dartmouth St. for Motor Vehicle Collision. Dispatch was advising a vehicle had collided into a poll. Upon arrival, Ofc. observed a Eversource street light poll laying on the grass carriage lane (westbound side). MV#1 was observed facing westbound in the eastbound lane of Commonwealth. Ave with front and side airbags deployed. The operator of MV#1 reported she was traveling westbound on Commonwealth Ave. prior to colliding into the light pole, but states she does not remember the moments prior to the collision.The operator of MV#1 reported she was uninjured, but was transported to Newton-Wellesley Hospital as a precaution. Newton Fire personnel determined the damaged light poll was not a hazard while Eversource was notified regarding their damaged poll. A witness to the collision reported they observed MV#1 traveling westbound on Commonwealth Ave. at approximately 20-25 mph, before it veered off the roadway and into the light poll. After colliding into the light poll MV#1 crossed over the double yellow line into oncoming traffic and hit the curb on the eastbound side of Commonwealth Ave. Pictures of MV#1 and the Eversource light poll were taken on the N493 camera and submitted to the NPD IT bureau. A Request for an Immediate Threat License Suspension/Revocation was faxed over to the Massachusetts RMV on behalf of the Operator of MV#1 due to the circumstances of this collision.
