Upon arrival I observed MV1(MA REG 7TT558) in the travel lane with both tires broken free from the axle. I spoke with the operator who could not recall how the accident happened, or what was struck. After an investigation the operator was placed under arrest for 90/24 OUI Alcohol. Officer Boyle was able to assist in the accident investigation. It appears the operator had been traveling westbound on River street and struck a utility pole on the drivers side front tire. The vehicle continued to the intersection of River street and Auburndale avenue and struck a curb here on the passenger side tire. Both tires were broken free from the axles. The vehicle was towed by Tody's and an inventory form was filed. Eversource was notified about the pole.

MV1 continued to drive on Lexington St when MV2 (2015 Toyota Highlander, MA Reg: 6VS151), started to beep at him continuously and went over the double yellow line in an attempt to pass MV1. MV2 was unable to pass MV1 because of oncoming traffic so MV2 steered to get back into his lane. MV2 collided with MV1 in the area of 281 Lexington St. A witness, John Maclellan (off-duty police officer Watertown) who was in the area of Lexington St and Orris St. stated that he heard a vehicle beeping repeatedly and then heard a collision. Maclellan came outside to find MV2 over the double yellow lines facing oncoming traffic. MV2 had damage to its passenger front and MV1 had damage to its drivers side rear. Maclellan told MV2 operator, Renato Ribeirodasilva, to move his vehicle to a safe location on the right side of the road and get out of the vehicle to exchange paperwork with the other driver involved (MV1, Gorman).
