crash_reports

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.

Michelle Lee was operating vehicle #2 N/B on Bullough Pk at Mill St. Lee states that she stopped at the stop sign and then attempted to take a left turn onto Mill St. At that time Lee states that vehicle #1 struck her on the left side. Luis Aguilar was operating vehicle #1 E/B on Mill St. Aguilar states that vehicle #2 pulled out in front of him as he was driving straight. A check with the RMV revealed that Aguilars license is supnded. Aguilar was issued citation # T1272109 Ch. 90 Sec 23 Operating after suspension. No injures both vehicles towed.

Oper of vehicle # 1 stated that he was traveling EB on Watertown Street and was going through intersection when MV # 2 came into intersection from Pearl Street. Both streets are public ways maintained by the city of Newton. Unsure if it slid on ice or just went through red light. Oper 1 swerved in an attempt to avoid collision but vehicles still collided. Vehicle # 2 immediately left the area. Bumper was hanging off of vehicle # 1. And Oper # 2 stated he had a witness that I was unable to talk too. MV 2 was described as a gray Nissan Pathfinder with RI reg XS837. Dispatch ran XS837 and it came back registered to a gray 2007 Nissan Pathfinder. Due to amount of damage and description given I mailed the owner of MV 2 a citation for Leaving the Scene of Property Damage. No injuries. No tows.

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. MV1 operator and passenger were able to identify the license plate of the vehicle as it left the scene. The plate came back to a 1997 Toyota Tercel, blue, registered to John Twinomujuni out of Waltham. Waltham PD was notified and was unable to locate the vehicle at this time. UPDATE: Waltham PD was requested to check again for this vehicle at it's registered address tonight, 5/1/2019. This check resulted in negative results for the vehicle. No citation will be issued at this time until there is verification that this vehicle was indeed involved in this accident.

Operator of MV1 states at approximately 8:30am she was traveling northbound on Centre Street approaching Jefferson Street when MV2, operated by a male driver, cut in front of her and struck her left front bumper with his right rear bumper and fled the scene. Operator of MV1 was able to take a picture of the license plate (MA Reg: 9AB179), which comes back to Keith Jones out of 109 Vernon Street, Newton. MV1 sustained minor damage to the front left bumper. I attempted to contact Mr. Jones via telephone with negative results. At approximately 9:30pm, Officer Dragone responded to 109 Vernon Street in an attempt to raise Mr. Jones, but there was no one home and the vehicle wasn't in the driveway.

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.

On 3/17/20 while working N493, I responded to the intersection of Auburndale Ave and Newell Rd for an MVA car vs pedestrian. On arrival I located pedestrian Stephen Dugas DOB 8/25/50 sitting in the middle of Newell Rd bleeding profusely from the top of his head, but otherwise consious/alert. The driver of the motor vehicle (MA reg 93Y880) was still on scene. He is identified as Ali Alnamos DOB12/10/59. While the medics were tending to Dugas I obtained a statement from Alnamos. He stated that he was driving on Auburndale Ave towards Lexington St and went to turn right onto Newell Rd. Upon turning, he made contact with the pedestrian with what he believes to be his passenger side mirror. Alnamos was distraught while speaking with me, and told me that he did not see the man. It should be noted that there is a clearly marked pedestrian crosswalk on Newell Rd, right at the location of this accident. There are street lights in the vicinity and Dugas was wearing darker clothing. Medic 2 transported Dugas to St. Elizabeth's due to his head injuy. I responded to the St E's ER Department and spoke with Dugas shortly after he was transported. Dugas reports that he was out for a walk on Auburndale Ave and was heading towards Auburndale Square. He went to cross Newell Rd and was hit by a vehicle shortly after entering the crosswalk. Dugas is not sure what part of the vehicle made contact with him but states that he did not go over the hood. Newell Rd intersects Auburndale Ave only on the westbound side. Several pictures were taken of the scene and have been submitted to IT. I did not observe any damage to the vehicle involved, therefore a tow was not needed. Alnamos stated that he was not in need of medical attention. Due to Dugas' statement at the hospital, I am mailing Alnamos MA citation T2079194 for 89/11 Fail to Yield to Pedestrian in Crosswalk.

On 06/10/2020 at approximately 16:30 hours, Sgt. Lee (Unit 531) and I (Unit 523) responded to Waverley Avenue and Sargent Street for a two car motor vehicle accident that involved one vehicle rolling over and a possible head injury to that driver. The accident occurred at 16:11 hours on this date. Both streets are public ways and maintained by the City of Newton. On arrival, I observed a black Hyundai Elantra (MV1) bearing MA Reg.# 1DHN15 resting in the middle of the intersection facing eastbound on Sargent Street heading towards Kenrick Street. The vehicle had heavy front end damage. I then observed a gray Honda CRV (MV2) bearing MA Reg.# 8DZB10 rolled over resting on it's hood facing in a northeasterly direction in the southbound travel lane of Waverley Avenue just past the intersection. I observed the point of impact to be on the passenger side rear wheel area due to the damage which included a large dent above the tire well. Digital photos were taken of the scene and intersection. At this point the operator, Jose Valderrama (MA DL# S27590058), of MV2 was already transported to Beth Israel Hospital in Boston, MA for a possible head injury. The operator was also not aware of what occurred at the time by the responding officers. It was also determined by the initial responding officers (Sgt. Rooney, Ofc. Pohlman & Ofc. Anderson) that Mr. Valderrama driver's license was suspended in Massachusetts by NPD Dispatch. Next, I spoke to the operator of MV1 identified as Cora Lyden (ME DL# 8625330). Lyden states that she was traveling straight ahead (EB) on Sargent Street attempting to go straight through the intersection on to Kenrick Street. She says as she approached the intersection the signal light changed to yellow and she proceeded through when she suddenly saw MV2 coming at her. She then jammed on her brakes and then made contact with the other vehicle. She says that the other driver must have been speeding and went through the red light. Next, Sgt. Lee and I responded to Beth Israel Hospital for a follow up on Mr. Valderrama. The hospital staff stated that there were no signs of a head injury and that he was now coherent. He sustained road rash on his left arm and shoulder area due to the seatbelt and front air bag deployment. We then spoke to him and he stated that he was traveling straight ahead (SB) on Waverley Avenue at about 30 to 35 miles per hour. He says that his signal light was green when he attempted to go through the intersection and another motor vehicle made contact with him. After that, he does not recall what occurred. I asked him if he saw the other vehicle approaching and he stated that he did not see it. After at the station, I followed up with Dispatch and they stated that there was two people that called in to report the accident that they attempted to call back to see if they witnessed the event. They had since not returned their call. I then called both numbers and both parties stated that they were only notifying us and did not observe the accident occur. Due to conflicting statements by both operators and no witnesses on scene, I am unable to determine fault for the accident. Mr. Valderrama will be issued MA Uniform Citation #T2080466 for Ch. 90/S23/E Operating a Motor Vehicle after Suspension of License. Tody's towing responded and towed both vehicles. M/V inventories completed by me.

On August 13th, 2020, while working in marked unit N526, I responded to a 2 car MVA involving pedestrians at the intersection of Beacon Street and Chestnut Street, Newton. The weather at the time of the crash was clear and sunny. The road surface was dry. Beacon Street and Chestnut Street are both public ways maintained by the City of Newton. The operator of MV1, Maria Dinapoli (S92626906), stated she was operating her 2018 Toyota Corolla ( MA REG: 1KNW71) heading west on Beacon Street and had the green light at the intersection of Chestnut Street. Dinapoli stated she was traveling straight through the intersection when MV2 which was traveling east on Beacon Street at the time cut infront of her vehicle to take a left turn onto Chestnut Street. Dinapoli stated she applied her brakes but was unable to stop in time and made contact with MV2. The impact of the crash caused MV1 to drive over the curb and onto the sidewalk where it made light contact with a baby stroller with a 1 year old inside. MV1 also struck and damaged a Newton Fire Department box that was located on the sidewalk. The baby stroller was being operated by the mother identified as Anna Gilman (S11328154). The pedestrians reported no injuries and signed patient refusals with Medic 2. MV1 sustained moderate front end damage and was towed from the scene by Todys. Dinapoli also reported no injuries and signed a patient refusal with Medic 2. The operator of MV2, Leena Dolabany (S12410136), stated she was operating her 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee (MA REG: 1TCZ14) heading east on Beacon Street and had the green light at the intersection of Chestnut Street. Dolabany stated she was in a line of cars in traffic waiting to take the left turn onto Chestnut Street. Dolabany stated as the cars infront of her continued through the intersection she took a left onto Chestnut Street and as she was already into the turn she was struck by MV1. MV2 sustained moderate damage to the passenger side panel. Dolabany reported no injuries and signed a patient refusal by Medic 2. A query of all vehicles and parties involved through dispatch determined that MV2 was revoked for insurance. After speaking with the operator I was informed that MV2 had recently switched insurance agencies and Dolabany was able to provide paperwork from Geico Insurance stating the vehicle was insured. Due to the registry not displaying a valid registration, MV2 was towed from the scene by Todys. I advised Dolabany to contact her insurance company and advise them to update their information with the registry so she can retrieve the vehicle. Photographs of the scene and damage to city property were taken by Officer Wilson and submitted to the IT Bureau. On August 14th, 2020 I spoke with the operator of MV2, Leena Dolabany and her father George Dolabany in the front lobby of the police station. They provided paperwork from Geico Insurance that stated the vehicle was infact insured at the time of the accident and that there was an error made by the Registry of Motor Vehicles. Sgt. Devine and I advised them that we have to use the Registry's database for our investigation and because it still states the vehicle is revoked for insurance we can not release the license plates. Sgt. Devine advised them they could get another tow company to come and take custody of the vehicle but the plates will be seized until the registry shows an active status on the registration. I issued Mass uniform citation T2017328 in hand to Leena and advised her she will be summoned for a hearing for the following violations; Ch 90 section 34J Operating MV without insurance and Ch 90 section 9 Unregistered MV.

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 of Vehicle 1 stated they were stopped at the stop sign on Greenwood St (s/b) and was attempting to turn left (e/b) on Dedham St when she collided with vehicle 2. Operator 1 said she believed vehicle 2 was going faster than the speed limit. Moderate damage to vehicle 1, towed by todys. No injuries to operator and passenger of vehicle 1. Operator 2 of vehicle 2 said he was driving w/b on Dedham St when vehicle 1 was taking a left and tried to avoid vehicle 1 and could not and the two cars collided. Operator 2 stated he did not have a license. Minor damage to vehicle 2. No injuries to operator 2 or any of the passengers in vehicle 2. Operator 2, Gabriel Mesquita was issued in hand ma citation T2014680 for c90s10 Operating without a license.

Operator #1 states that he was waiting for the light to turn green in the left turn only lane located at Crafts St at Waltham St, when he was sideswiped on the rear driver's side by vehicle #2. Operator #1 had no idea where vehicle #2 approached from and states he was extremely alarmed at the driving manner of operator #2. It should be noted that the only feasible way for a same direction sideswipe to have occurred on vehicle #1's driver's side while in the left turn only lane, is if vehicle #2 was driving in the lane of oncoming traffic. Operator #1 states the vehicle did not stop after the crash and took a left turn onto Waltham St. Operator #1 followed the vehicle, beeping his horn repeatedly until the two vehicles came to a stop on Pleasant St near Waltham St. Operator #1 states that he and operator #2, decribed as a black female in her 30's, then exited their respective vehicles briefly before operator #2 got back into her car and drove away again. When I asked if there was any verbal exchange between the two, operator #1 states that operator #2 was acting erratic and stated something inaudible before leaving the scene again. Operator #1 was able to get a picture of vehicle #2's license plate, MA reg 42X230. The plate comes back suspended to a Rochelle Burke out of 145 Lexington St apt 17 in Auburndale. Burke has a suspended license also and a lengthy driver history. I responded to 145 Lexington St and located the vehicle in question parked behind the building. It was parked at an approximate 45 degree angle in a parking space, had damage to the front bumper, and the hood of the vehicle was warm to the touch. I eventually was able to speak to owner Rochelle Burke. She denied driving the vehicle but acknowledged that a crash did occur. When asked why she left the scene of the crash without exchanging information, Burke stated "I don't know". I inquired as to who was driving the vehicle and she stated "my boyfriend". Burke's version of events was that her vehicle was the one in the left turn only lane, and that vehicle #1 crashed into her while trying to merge into the left turn lane. After speaking again to operator #1, he stated with "100 percent certainty" that the driver of vehicle #2 was a black female in her 30's. He added that there looked to be a male passenger in the front right side. Given the provided statements and the actions of operator #2, I will be mailing Rochelle Burke MA citation T2013024 for the following: 90/24(2) - Leaving the Scene of Property Damage 90/23 - Operating After a Suspended License 90/23 - Operating After a Suspended Registration Pictures were taken of vehicle #2 and submitted to the IT Bureau to be attached to this report. No medical attention was requested by any involved parties.

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 Thursday May 6th, 2021 at approximately 10:27am I responded to the intersection of Beacon Street and Hammond Pond Parkway for a minor motor vehicle accident involving a pedestrian. At the time of the accident the weather was sunny and the road surface was dry. Beacon Street is a public way owned and maintained by the City of Newton and Hammond Pond Parkway is owned by the State Police. Upon arrival I spoke with the pedestrian who was being treated by medics on scene. She was identified as Erinn McGahan. Erinn stated she was jogging on Beacon Street heading westbound and was approaching the intersection of Hammond Pond Parkway. Erinn stated she thought she made eye contact with the vehicle that was stopped at the stop sign as she continued to jog across the crosswalk. As she started to enter the crosswalk, the vehicle started to take the right turn onto Beacon Street and struck her right knee, causing her to fall on top of the hood of the vehicle and roll off onto the street. Erinn stated she had minor injuries and was transported by Fallon to Newton Wellesley Hospital. I spoke with the operator of the vehicle, identified as Delia Duart. Delia stated she was stopped at the stop sign on Hammond Pond Parkway and did not see the pedestrian entering the crosswalk. Delia stated she started to turn right onto Beacon Street and struck the pedestrian causing her to roll off the hood of her car and land on the street. Delia reported no injuries and signed a patient refusal. Delia reported no damage to her vehicle and was able to leave the scene. Mass Uniform Citation #992938AA was issued and mailed to Delia Duart for Chapter 89 Section 11 Crosswalk Violation.

On Friday, May 7, 2021, while assigned to N494, I responded to the area of 233 Tremont St. for a MVA. Upon arrival, I observed a Honda Civic (MV1), MA Reg 45H320, on Playstead Rd. at the intersection of Tremont St. MV1 had moderate front end damage to the drivers side. The operator of MV1, MARINI, Robert, was standing with the vehicle, and stated to me that he was traveling Eastbound on Tremont St. when he crossed over the double yellow line, striking a parked vehicle. He stated he does not know what happened, that he was driving home from Rhode Island, and he may have fell asleep. He stated he was not injured, but has a heart condition. Medic 5 responded to evaluate Mr. Marini, and he signed a refusal against medical advice. The vehicle that was struck, a 2018 Toyota Camry (MV2), MA Reg 2CEN64, was parked Westbound in front of 233 Tremont St. MV2 sustained moderate damage along the length of the vehicle. Majority of the damage is to the drivers side rear door and rear tire. I spoke to a witness, GRINBERG, Joshua, who stated he was traveling Westbound on Tremont St. when he saw MV1 (traveling Eastbound on Tremont St.) cross the double yellow line into the Westbound lane, striking MV2, before pulling over on Playstead Rd. MV1 was towed from the scene by Tody's and a towed motor vehicle form was filed. The owner of MV2 arranged her own tow with AAA.

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 Tuesday, June 14, 2022, while assigned to West Newton Square, I met a party in the lobby of Newton PD HQ reporting a past mva/pedestrian crash. Ms. Teresa Brown stated approximately an hour before speaking with me (12:30 p.m.), she was running on Webster Street (E) when she approached the Elm Street intersection. Ms. Brown stated she observed a black pick up truck to her right across the street and made a motion to him as she approached the intersection that she was going to continue running straight across Webster Street. Ms. Brown stated as she entered the marked crosswalk while running across the intersection, the pick up truck continued through the intersection and struck her. Ms. Brown stated she fell to the roadway and suffered a minor injury to her right arm. Ms. Brown stated the operator stopped to check on her, and she took a picture of his license. Ms. Brown stated she then continued running from the crash scene and ran to her daughter's house in Waltham. Ms. Brown stated the reason she did not contact the Newton Polcie Department when the crash occured was because she was in shock. Ms. Brown stated she was told after she got to her daughter's house it would be a good idea to report it now. Ms. Brown provided me with license information for the driver. Ms. Brown stated the only real injury she suffered was a cut on her right elbow. Ms. Brown was advised if she is involved in a future crash with injury to contact the police department of the town the crash occurs in so we can assist in rendering aide, and investigate the crash on scene. I contacted the operator of the vehicle involved, Mr. Mingzong Zou. Mr. Zou stated he was operating his 2015 Ford F-150 (MA CON: S24067) on Elm Street (N). Mr. Zou stated he came to a stop at the Webster Street stop sign. Mr. Zou stated he proceeded through the intersection after he stopped and saw Ms. Brown in the roadway in front of him. Mr. Zou stated the front of his vehicle crashed into Ms. Brown. Mr. Zou stated Ms. Brown told him she was "ok" after the crash and he offered her his information. Mr. Zou stated Ms. Brown took a picture of his license and ran away from the area. Due to the crash being reported some time after it occurred and not being present on scene to witness the scene, I am unable to cite the operator of MV1. Elm Street and Webster Street are both public ways maintained by the City of Newton.
