On 01/04/19 I responded outside of #54 Needham St for a two vehicle crash. Veh #1 was a delivery box van who was driving due North on Needham St. The operator of veh #1 stated he was attempting to take a left into #55 Needham St. when veh #2 came from behind him on his left and he struck veh #2 as he turned. The operator of veh # 1 was taken by Ambulance #1 to Newton-Wellesley Hospital for an evaluation after complaining of pain in his chest area. The passenger of veh #1 stated everything happened "so fast" he didn't see what transpired. Moderate damage to veh #1. The operator of veh #2 stated he was traveling due North on Needham St. and was behind veh #1 for a long stretch of the road. The operator of veh # 2 stated veh #1 put his right directional on three different times but didn't turn. He stated veh #1 had his right directional on and was in the right lane when he went to pass him. Veh #1 then turned into his rear passenger side as he passed. Moderate damage to veh # 2. The operator of veh #2 stated the operator of veh #1 was walking around and yelling about the accident for a period of time and then eventually grabbed his chest and fell to the ground complaining of pain. From the result of my investigation it appears as if veh # 1 attempted to turn from the wrong lane and veh # 2 was passing in the "suicide lane", also wrong lane. There will be no citations issued at this time as both operators were given verbal warnings.

MV1 was parallel parked in front of Bank of America on Walnut St when he began to pull out, MV2, ( suspected to be MA Reg:8WX995) hit MV1 on his driver's side door. MV2 backed up in the road and then sped off without stopping to give his information. MV1 operator, Marcus Klevan, came into the police station to report this hit and run which occurred around 1430hrs today.

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.

Operator 1 of MV 1 stated he was traveling E/B on Pine Ridge Rd when somebody was crossing the street and caught him off guard. Operator 1 swerved off the roadway taking out a fence and into the yard of 197 Pine Ridge Rd where it flipped over and landed on the hood of the vehicle. Operator 1 had minor injuries and was transported to the NWH. The vehicle had major damage and was towed by todys towing. Pictures of the damage to the fence were taken and placed into IT for attachment to this report. Operator 1, Luis Corado, was issued MA Citation #T2014679 for c90s10 Operating without a license and c89s4A Marked Lanes.

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 06/05/21 at approximately 09:47 I responded outside of #28 Indiana Terrace for an accident that happened yesterday 06/04/21 at approximately 14:30. The owner of veh#1 had his vehicle parked on the street in front of #28 Indiana Terrace and stated Witness #1 (his wife), saw the owner of veh #2 get into her car and attempt a u-turn. Witness said she saw veh#2 strike the front drivers side fender of her husbands parked vehicle-veh#1. The owner of veh#2 arrived back on scene and stated she did make a u-turn yesterday in the area of parked veh #1 but stated she didn't believe she struck it. There is damage to veh #2 consistent with the damage to veh #1 in the area which it was struck but the owner of veh #2 stated it was old damage. Owner stated she bought the car used with that damage and showed me pictures as evidence dated last year. Both owners were advised to file an accident report. Based on conflicting information no citations were issued at this time.

On August 27th 2021, Miriam Nkuba DOB 6/30/56 came to Newton Police Headquarters to report a past hit and run. Nkuba states that around 1500 hrs today, she was shopping in Star Market at 1 Boyston St. When she exited the store and returned to her vehicle in the lot (MA reg 7CNJ50), there were security workers cleaning debris from around her car. Immediately apparent was damage to the rear left tail light/bumper area. The security workers then directed Nkuba to witness Kate Sweeney, who was able to provide a picture of MA reg 4AX435, a black Chevrolet Suburban. Sweeney told Nkuba that the Suburban had hit her car and left the scene. I called Sweeney and spoke with her directly. She relayed that she was in a nearby store and heard a loud crash. Her attention was directed outside to a black Suburban slowly driving with obvious front passenger side damage. The vehicle then stopped in a parking space, and a heavy set woman exited from the driver's seat to inspect the damage on the front right side. The woman then got back into the vehicle and drove away in an unknown direction. 4AX435 comes back active on a 2012 Chevrolet Suburban color black to Maria Dasilva Alves out of West Roxbury. I requested Boston PD E-5 try and raise Alves and have her contact me. It should be noted that Alves has an expired/non renewable license and appears from her license photo to be heavy set. Charges pending. *Update, 8/28/21- Boston PD had negative results locating Alves or the vehicle. Based on corroborating statements by the witness, MA uniform citation T1446618 will be mailed to Alves for 90/24 Leaving the Scene of Property Damage and 90/10 Unlicensed Operation.

On 10/02/2021 while assigned to marked cruiser N503 at approximately 20:46 hours I, Officer Vazhenin, responded to 601 Washington Street for a report of 2-car motor vehicle accident. Upon arrival on scene, I spoke to Mr. Jeffrey Yanfeng Xiao (Driver 1), who stated that he was driving eastbound on Washington Street when he observed another car (Vehicle 2) pulling out of 7/11 parking lot at 612 Washington street. Driver 1 said that in order to avoid collision with Vehicle 2, he had to swerve to the left in oncoming traffic lane crossing double yellow line. He said that while he was passing Vehicle 2, Vehicle 2 kept driving and crashed into the passenger side of his car (Vehicle 1). I then spoke to Ms. Shahrbanou Asadi, the operator of Vehicle 2, who stated that she was pulling out of 7/11 parking lot and was trying to make a left turn on Washington street. She stated that Vehicle 1 "showed up out of nowhere" and was traveling at high rate of speed. Ms. Asadi stated that she proceeded making her left turn when Vehicle 1 suddenly appeared in the front of her car and her car (Vehicle 2) crashed into passenger side of Vehicle 1. It should be noted that Ms. Asadi did not have her driver's license in possession. License plate inquiry of her car (Vehicle 2, MA Reg.#883MH8) revealed the fact that her driver's license was expired, which she failed to disclose to me when asked about status of her registration and driver's license. I ussued a Criminal Application to Ms. Shahrbanou Asadi on Massachusetts Uniform Citation #T1445734 for Ch.90 S.10 "Unlicensed Operation of Motor Vehicle", Ch.89 S.8 "Failure to yield", Ch.90 S.11 "License not in possession".
