The operator of MV#1 stated he was travelling eastbound on Commonwealth Ave making a left turn onto Morton St when he was struck by MV#2. The operator of MV#1 stated he was unsure of where MV#2 came from. There was a strong solar glare facing westbound on Commonwealth Ave during this accident. MV#1 sustained heavy driver's side front end damages. Both front airbags were deployed. The operator of MV#1 stated he was not injured. The front passenger of MV#1 was not injured and had already left the scene to attend school. The driver's side rear passenger sustained a bleeding nose from this accident. She was unsure what caused her injuries because it happened too quickly. She was evluated by Newton Paramedics and signed a patient refusal of treatment. The initial point of impact for both vehicles was in the middle intersection of Commonwealth Ave at Morton St. There were broken vehicle parts and tire skid marks starting from the point of impact and onto the berm on Commonwealth Ave on the carriage lane side. MV#2's final resting spot was directly accross from 808 Commonwealth Ave. MV#2 sustained heavy front end damages to its driver's side wheel (Broken axle) and flat front right side tire. MV#2's driver's side airbag was deployed. The operator of MV#2 was transported by Newton Paramedics to the Boston Medical Center.

The witness stated she believed MV#2 was travelling at a high rate of speed because it continued to travel onto the berm after striking MV#1. I took digital photographs of the damaged berm on Commonwealth Ave. Based on the statements made to me, I issued in hand to the operator of MV#1 citation #T1268357 for violation of c89 s8 failure to yield when turning left. Both vehicles were towed by "Tody's Towing".

On Wednesday, October 16, 2019, I, Patrolman Hatfield, was assigned to marked cruiser N 495 to Division 5 for the 1530 to 2330 hour shift. At approximately 1742 hours, FTO Guarino and I were dispatched to Commonwealth Ave at Cedar St for a motor vehicle accident with minor injuries. FTO Guarino and I arrived on scene and noticed two MVs with damage. I spoke with the RO/operator of MV2, Janet Haines (Janet). Janet stated she was not suffering from injuries. Janet said she was operating southbound on Cedar St crossing Commonwealth Ave when she had a collision with MV2. Janet stated prior to crossing Commonwealth Ave, an unknown MV stopped at the intersection to allow her to cross. Janet then stated she proceeded accross when she crashed into MV1, who drove around the stopped MV. Janet said her brakes did not work and she continued to drive forward and ended on top of the curb of Commonwealth Ave facing eastbound. MV2 suffered damage to the whole front bumper and wheel wells.
