Narrative:
On 11/27/19 at 12:43 hours, I responded to the Petsmart located at 215 Needham Street for a motor vehicle bicyclist accident. The weather at the time was approximately 50 degrees, cloudy and the road conditions were dry. No injuries reported. Operator of MV # 1 (Barbara Cooper) states she was facing eastbound on Needham Street waiting in the center turn lanes to take a left turn in to the garage of 215 Needham Street. Next, she states that a large truck going westbound stopped for her and waved her on to turn. She then proceeded in to the garage and parked and that is when she was confronted by the bicyclist saying that she was struck with her vehicle. The operator was unaware of an accident occurring and was not able to visibly see past the truck while turning. I observed a minor scratch to the passenger rear quarter panel area of the vehicle. Operator of the bicyclist (Merissa Brousseau) states she traveling westbound in the bicycle lane on the right side near 215 Needham Street when she observed the large truck mentioned above suddenly stop. She states that she was also visibly blocked from seeing ahead due to the truck. She then kept peddling straight through and struck MV # 1 in the passenger side rear end as it was making its left turn. The operator was evaluated by Cataldo Ambulance but refused medical attention. I observed no apparent damage to the bicycle. Ms. Brousseau was wearing a bicycle helmet, black and red Boston University bicycle suit, and red BU sock covers over her shoes.

Narrative:
On Wednesday, 12/4/2019, at approximately 2045 hours, Ofc Helms and I responded to a past hit and run at 27 Parsons St. Upon arrival, I spoke with the owner of MV 1 (Marc Rizza) who stated that he noticed damage to the left rear of his vehicle today when he came back from vacation to pick up his car. MV 1 was parked in the driveway of 27 Parsons St, (the brother in law of the vehicle owner). He further stated that he believed a plow may have struck his car when it was plowing the driveway after or during the last snow storm. Yellow streaks were visibly seen on the left rear bumper consistent with the damage. The owner of MV 1 further stated that he believed the house across the street, 28 Parsons St is the person that usually plows the driveway. I spoke with Jeffrey Timmins who told me that he in fact did plow the driveway of 27 Parsons St after the storm sometime on Tuesday 12/3/2019. Mr. Timmins admitted to being the operator of MV 2 and stated he did not notice if he hit MV 1 while plowing the driveway but he "could have". I advised both parties with an accident report number. No tows required or reported injuries by either party.

Narrative:
At approximately 0500HRs on Tuesday, December 17, 2019, I was dispatched to a 2 vehicle MVA in front of 38 Commonwealth Ave. Upon arrival, I spoke with the operator of MV1 (MA CON: S25585) who stated that he attempted to back up his vehicle (Westbound) and accidently struck MV2 because he was not able to see it in his mirror. Upon speaking to the operator of MV2 (MA CON: S13628), he stated he was traveling Eastbound as MV1 was backing up. He then stopped MV2 and when MV1 did not, he activated his horn which had no effect and MV1 backed into him. I observed MV1 to have no discernable damage. I observed MV2 to have sustained damage to its front bumper, grille, hood, passenger's side fender and both head lamps. MV1 had a single passenger who reports he did not witness event in question, as he was focused on eating at the time. No one involved reports any injuries. I cleared without incident.
