On 05/20/2018 at 17:30 hours I was notified by Captain Anastasia of a motor vehicle crash involving car, and an electric scooter. Captain Anastaisa stated that the operator of the scooter was a 12 year old male who had sustained unknown injures and had been transported to Boston Children's Hospital via ambulance. Upon my arrival at the crash scene I made the following observations, Putnam and Winthrop streets are public ways in the city of Newton that are two way single lane non divided roadways. The roadway surface was wet from rain earlier in the day. Putnam St runs north to south and Winthrop St runs east to west. There is a stop sign at the end of Winthrop St at Putnam St. I observed MA reg 54MN41 a 2005 Buick LeSabre stopped in the south bound lane of Putnam St approximately 1/2 of the way into the intersection with Winthrop St. I observed approximately three feet of skid marks from the Buick's rear tires. I also observed at the crash scene a Segway Ninebot electric scooter that was on the ground near the Buick(cid:31)s rear passenger side door with its handlebars detached. I spoke with the operator of the Buick, Robert DeSouza who stated that on 05/20/2019 at approximately 16:50 hours he was driving south bound on Putnam St at approximately 25 miles per hour. DeSouza stated that he saw a man, later identified as Jose Estabil standing on the east sidewalk of Putnam St facing Winthrop St who was yelling and waving his arms at something on Winthrop St. DeSouza stated he looked to his right towards Winthrop St and his view was obstructed by a row of hedges.

Witness Jose Estabil stated that he was walking on the east side walk of Putnam St across from Winthrop St. Estabil stated that he saw a boy an electric scooter on Winthrop St approaching Putnam St. Estabil stated that he saw DeSouza's vehicle driving south bound on Putnam St approaching Winthrop St. Estabil stated that the boy on the scooter made no effort to stop, slow or avoid the crash with DeSouza's vehicle. Witness Laurel Fransworth stated that she was driving north on Putnam St approaching Winthrop St when she saw the crash occur. Farnsworth stated a boy on an electric scooter on Winthrop St crash into the rear passenger side door of DeSouza's vehicle. Fransworth stated that she believed that the row of hedges at the end of Winthrop St obstructed DeSouz's vehicle. Rowan Delaney ( 02/27/2007 ) stated that on 05/20/2019 at approximately 16:00 hours he and his fellow F.A. Day Middle School student Thiaugo Rubino ( 03/04/2007 ) were having a race around the area of Winthrop St, Putnam St and Shawn St. Delaney stated that he was on foot running on sidewalks while Rubino was on an electric Ninebot Segway scooter. Delaney stated that Rubion was not wearing a helmet or any other safety equipment. I spoke with Delaney(cid:31)s father Royston Delaney, who stated that the scooter was his and that he was unaware that Rubino was using his scooter, and that he has never seen him ridding it before. Royston Delaney stated that the scooter is battery powered and has a maximum speed of 19 MPH. Royston Delaney stated that his son told him that only Rubino was ridding the scooter. Rubino was transported via ambulance to Boston Children(cid:31)s Hospital. On 05/20/2019 Rubino underwent surgery for a brain bleed. I spoke with Rubion(cid:31)s mother Sonia Rubino who stated that as of 05/21/2019 her son was under observation and in addition to the brain surgery her son had a broken arm, broken leg and a broken back. Based upon witnessed statements and my observations of the crash area I believe that Rubion was at fault for the cause of this crash. Myself and Officer Helms took photos of the crash area and the disks were turned over to the NPD(cid:31)s IT bureau for downloading.

On Wednesday October 23, 2019, I, Patrolman Hatfield, was assigned to marked cruiser N495 in full uniform to Division 5 for the 1530 to 2330 hour shift. At approximately 2040 hours, myself and Officer Selig were traveling northbound on Centre St (a public way) in Newton Center. We were behind MA reg 9KT873 (2004 Toyota Corolla grey). We observed the motor vehicle drive around a pedestrian in the crosswalk who was attempting to cross at Centre St and Pelham St. I activated my emergency blue lights and attempted to conduct a motor vehicle stop of the Toyota Corolla. The operator continued to drive northbound on Centre St before pulling over just before the crosswalk at Centre St and Pleasant St. The operator then continued driving forward and struck a pedestrian crossing in the crosswalk Officer Selig and I saw the pedestrian being struck before landing on top of the Toyota Corolla hood, and falling forward onto the street. Officer Selig and I spoke with the two parties involved. I spoke with the victim, who was identified as Vivian Rubinstein (Vivian). Vivian crawled towards the sidewalk of Centre St while clutching her lower back. Initially Vivian denied being injured and refused medical aid.

On 02/26/2020 I responded to the area of Eastbourne Rd and Ireland Rd for a motor vehicle crash involving a pedestrian. Eastbourne RD is a public way which runs from Ward St north bound intersecting with Ireland Rd on the far north end. Ireland RD is a public way which runs west to east. Both the east end and the west end of Ireland Rd are dead ends. The crash occured on Ireland Rd's east end near the intersection of Eastbourne Rd. The crash involved Vehicle 1 described as a 2016 Acura SUV color grey bearing MA passenger registration 3RB127. Vehicle 1 had a valid inspection sticker which expires on 08/30/2020. Vehicle 1 was operated by its owner identified as Barbara Ball. Ball has an active MA Operators License (S18727836). The involved pedestrian was identified as Bruce Terrio. Terrio is an employee of Feeney Brothers Utility Services. Feeney Brothers Utility Services is a contractor of National Grid Gas Company. Upon arrival I observed the following: The crash occurred in the daylight hours around 10:30am on Ireland Rd near the intersection of Eastbourne Rd. At the time of the crash the weather conditions were clear, 48 degrees Fahrenheit and overcast skies (weather.gov). The area where the crash occurred was an active construction site for Feeney Brothers Utility Services. The area of the crash is a dead end. The area is accessed from Ward St from either Eastbourne Rd or Coolidge Rd. The entrances of both Eastbourne Rd and Coolidge Rd had construction signs indicating utility work in the area. At the time of the crash, all roadways were open to vehicle traffic. On the eastbound side of Eastbourne Rd just prior to the intersection of Ireland Rd, I observed a large air compressor which was parked in the roadway facing south bound. No traffic cones were located near the air compressor. To the right of the air compressor were thick green bushes. A wooden fence was located to the right side of the green bushes. On the east side of Ireland Rd I observed a large excavated hole on the right side of the roadway. The hole was near the intersection of Eastbourne Rd and was located approximately three feet from the curb. I observed four traffic cones, two on the front side and two on the left side of the hole. Located on the front edge of the hole was a tire print. Vehicle 1 was located on the west end of Ireland Rd. The front passenger tire of Vehicle 1 had fresh dirt located on the sidewalls and the tire tread. Vehicle 1 appeared to have no visible damage. The pedestrian (Terrio) was being treated by EMS and Fire for injuries. Terrio was wearing brown pants and a green reflective safety vest. I spoke with the operator of Vehicle 1 Barbara Ball. Ball stated that she was operating Vehicle 1 northbound on Eastbourne Rd near the intersection of Ireland Rd. Ball stated that she made a right turn onto Ireland Rd and drove on to the edge of the excavated hole. Ball stated that her vehicle then made impact with Terrio who was in the hole. Ball stated that she immediately stopped, backed out of the hole and called 911. Ball stated that prior to making a right turn onto Ireland Rd, there were no traffic cones in the roadway or next to the hole. Ball stated that as she made the right turn onto Ireland Rd she did not observe Terrio or the hole until it was too late. Ball states that she resides at 80 Eastbourne Rd which is the residence located to the immediate right of the crash location. Ball states that she had been recently parking on Ireland Rd due to ongoing construction at her residence. Ball states that she was traveling at a slow speed prior to impact. At the time of the crash there were three other Feeney Brothers employees working at the site. These workers were identified as Steven Gamble, Mike Cabrinma and Gerard McComaskey. At the time of the crash all three workers were located further up Eastbourne Rd near the intersection of Coolidge Rd and did not observe the crash. At the time of the crash, Newton Police Sergeant Glenn Chisholm was working a paid detail for Feeney Brothers. Sergeant Chisholm stated that he did not observe the crash.Terrio was transported by Cataldo EMS for minor injuries. Several photos were taken of the scene. Photos were taken of the hole with traffic cones and without traffic cones. All photo's were submitted to the IT Bureau. After clearing the scene, I responded to St Elizabeth's Hospital in Brighton, MA to interview Terrio. Terrio stated that at the time of the crash he was standing in the hole on Ireland Rd performing gas utility work. Terrio stated that the front passenger side bumper of Vehicle 1 struck him in the right shoulder. Terrio stated that the impact caused him to lose his balance and fall down in the hole. Terrio states that after falling down he was able to climb out of the hole without assistance. Terrio stated that at the time of impact he was wearing a white hard hat which he thinks struck the pavement on the edge of the hole. Terrio states that at the time of the crash he was working alone in the hole. Terrio states that at the time of the crash traffic cones were located near the hole. Terrio stated that as a result of the impact he sustained minor injuries to his right shoulder and back. I then observed Terrio's hard hat which appeared to have a fresh scrape mark on the top. The hard hat also had broken interior straps. Terrio stated that the straps broke when he was struck by Vehicle 1. Photos were taken of the hard hat and were submitted to the IT Bureau. After reviewing all facts of this incident, Vehicle 1 appeared to have been traveling at a slow speed prior to the crash. This was evident due to the lack of tire skid marks prior to the tire print on the edge of the hole. It also appears that Ball's view of the hole and Terrio may have been obstructed by the parked air compressor on Eastbourne Rd. The thick green bushes and a wooden fence to the right of the air compressor also added to the obstructed view. The hole was also located in close proximity to the air compressor which reduced Vehicle 1's reaction time. Jeff Oliver of OSHA was also notified of this incident. Photographs of the scene were provided to Oliver.

Ms. Pope (Driver 1) said that when she was making that turn, MV 2 started making a turn in the same direction. She stated that she stopped, but MV2 kept driving and crashed into the right front corner of her car (MV1). I then spoke to Ms. Katherine Mary Iodice (Driver 2 of MV2), who stated that she yielded the right of way to MV3 and then started making a turn right after that car. Ms. Iodice stated that she did not see MV1, which was following closely to MV3, and while she was making a turn, she observed MV1, but it was too late to stop and her car (MV2) crashed into MV1. Driver 1 of MV1 was at fault because she failed to yield the right of way to Driver 2 of MV2, which had an obstructed vision and did not see MV1.

At approximately 2120HRs on Tuesday, November 16, 2021, I was dispatched to the intersection of Hammond St. and Beacon St., for a reported two car crash. Upon arrival, I observed MV1 to have sustained damage to its front passenger's side fender/head light, hood, grille, bumper and it was leaking fluids. I observed MV2 to have sustained damage to its driver's side fender/door and it was leaking fluids. Upon speaking to the operator of MV1, they stated that they were traveling straight (southbound) on Hammond St. and they had a green traffic signal.

Upon speaking to the operator of MV2, they stated they were traveling straight on Beacon St. (eastbound). At this time, their windshield fogged and they could not see out of it. They continue to drive straight, while attempting to adjust the HVAC controls to clear up the windshield. They then proceeded into the intersection and were struck by MV1. They stated they did not know the color of their traffic signal, as they were looking down at said controls. Neither party were injured. Newton Fire applied speedy dry to the fluids. Todys removed both vehicles. I cleared without further incident and completed NPD Towed Motor Vehicle Forms for each vehicle.
