On Tuesday January 22nd 2019 at approximately 1615 hours I responded to a two car motor vehicle accident at the intersection of Beacon Street and Crescent Ave, both are public ways in the City of Newton. At the time of the accident the current weather conditions were clear and dry with the road conditions extremely icy and snow covered. Upon arrival the medics were evaluating the operator of MV1 for slight back pain. The operator of MV1 signed a patient refusal and stated she was headed westbound on Beacon Street and stopped at the intersection of Crescent Ave, attempting to turn left. The operator of MV1 stated she came to a complete stop and had her left turn signal on waiting to turn onto Crescent Ave. She states MV2 then rear ended her and she pulled over the side of the road to wait for police assistance. MV1 was completely disabled with major rear end damage. MV1 was towed by Todys. The operator of MV2 stated he was traveling behind MV1 and attempted to stop behind MV1 but due to the icy road conditions, MV2 failed to stop and collided with MV1. The operator of MV2 refused medical attention and was able to drive MV2 from the scene.

At approximately 1615HRs. on Thursday, January 24, 2019, I was dispatched to the intersection of Elliot St. and Boylston St. for a report of an MVA. Upon arrival, I located the operator of MV1 (MA Pass: 1NB459) who had pulled into the BP gas station. He stated that he was traveling Northbound on Elliot St. when his traffic signal turned red and he brought his vehicle to a complete stop at the intersection. He stated that at this time, he was rear ended by MV2. He and the operator of MV2 then got out of their respective vehicles and spoke about the collision, after a few moments, the operator of MV2 got in her vehicle and left. Using the picture of MV2's license plate (MA Pass: 3EY477) which he provided me, I was able to contact the operator of MV2 at her residence. She stated that she was traveling Northbound on Elliot St. and observed MV1 come to a stop and she applied her brakes and came to a complete stop aswell, without making any contact to MV1. She further stated that the operator of MV1 became agitated and started to yell at her. She then left because she asserts that there was no collision and she was concerned by the operator of MV1's behavior. I observed no damage to MV1's rear bumper area, with the exception of an old dent, approx. the size of a quarter, which was highlighted with some type of permanent marker. I observed no damage to MV2's front bumper area and I noted large, pronounced license plate bolts affixing MV2's license plate to its bumper. The operator of MV1 stated that he was suffering from back pain due to the collision and elected to drive himself to Carney Hospital. Due to there being no damage to either vehicle and the large plate bolts on MV2, which would have likely caused notable damage to MV1's bumper, I will not be charging the operator of MV2 with leaving the scene of an accident at this time. Both parties have been advised to contact their insurance companies and I cleared without incident.

Owner of MV#1 stated while inside of 97 Montvale RD she witnessed a white SUV pull in her driveway in an attempt to change direction. MV#1 was parked across the road outside of 97 Montvale RD.

MV1 was parked legally on the shoulder of by 1743 Beacon St. The vehicle that struck MV1 left the travel lane and struck MV1 in the driver's side rear, causing damage. I spoke with the reporting party, Tim Leary, who heard the crash and saw a white Ford F-150 leaving the scene with damage on front passenger side. Leary did not see the license plate of the truck but thinks it was the 2006-2012 body style. The owner of MV1 was going to arrange for a private tow at a later time.
