Narrative:
On January 1, 2019 at approximately 02:18 hours I, Officer Guarino, responded to 78 Vine St. for a hit and run. I spoke to the operator of MV1, who told me that he was driving Eastbound on Vine St, he turned on his left directional and began to pull into his driveway at 78 Vine St. The operator of MV 2 attempted to pass MV 1 on the left hand side crashing into MV1. MV2 put the vehicle in reverse and left the scene. The operator of MV1 said that the front bumper of MV2 had fallen off in the collision with MA License plate 4KZ917 still attached. The owner of that vehicle lives in Boston, so Boston Police were notified. I attempted to make contact with the owner of MV 2 with negative results. Update January 1, 2019 16:15 hours: I was able to contact the owner of MV2, who admitted that she was the operator of the vehicle and that she was in the vehicle alone. The operator of MV2 said that the operator of MV1 was driving very slow and stopped in the right lane so she attempted to pass the vehicle. MV1 began turning and MV2 struck MV1. The operator of MV 1 said that she was nervous and left the scene because her phone died and attempted to contact the Newton Police in the morning. I am mailing citation T1441275 to Cecelia Spangenberg for MGL90/24C, leaving the scene of property damage. Photographs of the bumper have been submitted to IT to be attached to this report. The license plate was logged into evidence and placed into property and evidence locket #8.

Narrative:
On Monday, May 9, 2022, while assigned to Traffic unit N525, I responded to the area of 25 Berkshire Road, Newton, for a report of an MVA involving a City of Newton owned street sweeper and a City of Newton contracted school bus. The weather at the time of the crash was clear and sunny. The road surface was dry. Berkshire Road is a public way maintained by the City of Newton. The operator of MV1, Mr. Norman Fryar (S20854611), stated he was operating a City of Newton owned 2017 Elgn Pelican street sweeper (MA: MVN M96170) on Berkshire Road. Mr. Fryar stated as he was sweeping the street he was in the Eastbound lane traveling North. Mr. Fryar stated there was a vehicle parked ahead of him and to avoid it he began to change lanes to his left to go around it. Mr. Fryar stated as he was chaning lanes his phone was ringing and as he reached for the phone the driver side of his sweeper crashed into the front passenger side of a passing school bus. Mr. Fryar reported no injuries. I observed damage to the driver side of the sweeper. I spoke with the operator of MV2, Ms. Ana Mendes (S72311538). Ms. Mendes stated she was operating a City of Newton contracted school bus (MA: BU44536) on Berkshire Road with 25 students on board with a final destination of Bigelow Middle School. Ms. Mendes stated she was traveling North on Berkshire Road when she observed a street sweeper in front of her. Ms. Mendes stated she entered the Westbound land of Berkshire Road to go around the street sweeper. Ms. Mendes stated as she was passing the street sweeper, it made an abrupt left turn and it's driver side crashed into the front passenger side door/mirror of the school bus. Ms. Mendes reported no injuries. I observed moderate damage to the passegner side of MV2. After the initial crash, it was reported by both parties that MV1 attempted to back up to allow students to exit the bus through the passenger side door. As MV1 was backing up, it crashed into the middle passenger side of the school bus. There were 25 Bigelow Middle School students on the bus at the time of the crash. Ms. Mendes state she contacted her dispatch for further instructions on what to do with the students. Ms. Mendes stated to Sgt. Wade that the Eastern Bus Company dispatch instructed her to keep the students on the bus and wait for Police and EMS to arrive. Ms. Mendes stated after speaking with her dispatch, another school bus arrived at the scene. The decision was made by Ms. Mendes to have the students exit her school bus and be transported to Bigelow Middle School prior to my arrival. Ms. Mendes was advised in the future to follow the policy set forth by her Eastern Bus Company, the City of Newton, and the Newton Police Department. After clearing Berkshire Road, myself and Sgt. M. Wade responded to the Bigelow Middle School to check on the welfare of the students that were on the bus at the time of the crash. We were greeted by the school's Asssitant Principle Mr. Lucas Mogensen. Mr. Mogensen stated all of the students that were on the bus at the time of the crash were staged on the bus when it arrived at the school. Mr. Mogensen stated the school nurse Ms. Shannon Loughnane evaluated each student as they exited the bus and there were no injuries reported at this time.
