Leary was crossing Needham St southbound at the corner of the property between Stop and Shop and Jiffy Lube. She states that she was 1/4 of the way across the street when she was struck by MV1. The left side of her body(arm, hip) struck the right side of the MV. She fell to the ground. MV1 states that he was pulling out of the Stop and Shop driveway to turn right onto Needham St. He saw the pedestrian next to the snow bank on the right side of the driveway as he approached the end of the driveway. When he got to the end he did not see her anymore and assumed she had continued walking west on Needham St. He then turned right and felt the collision and then he saw her. He immediately pulled into the Jiffy Lube lot to check on her. I took pictures of the scene and the MV. They were TOT IT. After further investigation, on 2/7 the operator was cited for 90/14 failure to stop for pedestrian. I spoke with Kenneth via phone and advised him of the update. The citation was mailed to him. I am charging for 90/14 failure to stop for a pedestrian. On Wednesday February 6, the operator information of this report was ammended to show the correct operator information.

The OP of MV#1 states while travelling northbound on Moulton Street, he observed MV#2 sanding the intersection of Cornell Street so he stopped. MV#2 then started reversing in his direction and when MV#2 didn't stop, the OP. of MV#1 then honked his horn but they still collided. The OP. of MV#2 states he was sanding Cornell Street and was doing a U-turn at the intersection of Moulton Street. He didn't observe MV#1 being on Moulton Street at this time so continued sanding the area. When he reversed, that's when his rear tire collided with MV#1. Pictures were taken by me.

MV1 was parked unoccupied in a spot on the street. MV2 backed into MV1. MV2 stated that MV1 was completely in his blind spot and he did not see it while backing. I took pictures of the damage to the MVs and TOT IT.

MV1 was traveling east on Madison Ave from Walnut St approaching #80. There were 2 landscape vehicles parked on left side of the street. The operator, Sarah Ruth Loper-Sengupta, stated that she never saw the pedestrian that was in the roadway (N) due to solar glare. Loper-Sengupta stated she heard a thump coming from the passenger side of her vehicle. Loper-Sengupta stated she looked over to her right and saw a trash barrel in the air. Loper-Sengupta stated she then saw a male party lying on the roadway on her passenger side. Immediately after striking the pedestrian, Loper-Sengupta, stopped to check on him. There was a golden doodle dog in the back seat of the MV at the time of the accident, unrestrained. There were no obstructions hanging from the mirror or windshield area. The front drivers visor was down. There was no airbag deployment. I observed significat damage to the front passenger side windshield area. There was also damage to the front passenger side hood area. See Sgt. Lee update for victim statement Numerous pictures were taken by Ofc. Gaudet of the MV and scene. They were TOT IT. The MV was towed by Tody's due to its shattered windshield. No citation will be issued to Loper-Sengupta. The solar glare caused her to not able to see the pedestrian. The Sgt. and I dont believe the pedestrian looked before crossing with the barell on his left shoulder because he would have been able to see the MV coming as this is straight away section of Madison Ave. It should be noted, that when I arrived on scene I immediately noticed the seolar glare as I walked east on Madison Ave.

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 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.

On May 16th, 2020 at approximately 10:01 hours while working N491 I responded to #281 Newtonville Ave for a reported single vehicle crash.

John Pl is a dead end public way in the city of Newton. Waste Management is contracted by the city of Newton to collect trash. Echeverria stated that since John Pl is a dead end it is common practice to back the truck in because making a three point turn at the end of the street would not be feasible.
