On Friday March 15th 2019 at approximately 0730 hours I responded to the intersection of Beacon Street and Herrick Road for a report of a hit and run involving a bicyclist. The weather at the time of the accident was cloudy and the road conditions were dry. Both streets are public ways in the City of Newton. Upon arrival I observed the victim identified as Glenn Butcher (MA OLN S36552335), inside the ambulance getting medical attention. Butcher was getting a bandage applied to his left leg and complained of leg, back and neck pain. Butcher appeared visibly shaken and in pain. Butcher stated he had the green traffic light and was travelling eastbound on Beacon Street crossing Centre Street and then continuing straight crossing Herrick Road. Butcher stated MV1 was travelling westbound on Beacon Street and took a left turn onto Herrick Road and collided into his bicycle. Butcher states upon impact he flipped over his bicycle and landed on the hood of MV1, before rolling off and landing on the ground. Butcher states he was wearing his helmet which was present. Butcher states his bicycle ended up partially under MV1. Butcher states the operator of MV1 pulled his vehicle to the side of the road and got out of his vehicle and spoke to several witnesses briefly. Butcher states the operator then left the scene without properly exchanging information and did not wait for the police to arrive. Butcher described the vehicle as a dark gray Honda, and described the operator as an older white male, 5'10 approximately 80 years old with white hair. Butcher was also able to provide an email address for another bicyclist who witnessed the accident. The witness left his information with Butcher prior to my arrival. Fire fighters on scene were able to get the registration number of the vehicle from the witness (MA REG 4CX148) and gave it to Officers on scene. Butcher was transported by Medic 1 to NWH with minor injuries. His bicycle had visible damage to the frame area and skid marks were present on both tires. 19 photographs of the scene and the bicycle were taken and sent to the IT dept. email. Officer Gabriel transported the bicycle to the station where it was logged into Property & Evidence for safekeeping. Dispatch was able to query the registration which came back to a gray, 2010 Honda Accord registered to a Matthew Sugarman (MA OLN S38601397), out of W. Roxbury. Dispatch contacted the Boston Police Dept. and had them send an Officer to the address to try to make contact with Sugarman. Sugarman was advised to contact the Newton Police Dept. and I was able to speak with him on the telephone. Sugarman states he was driving the vehicle today and was involved in an accident with a bicycle. Sugarman states he was travelling westbound on Beacon Street and was taking a left onto Centre Street not Herrick Road. While speaking with Sugarman he seemed confused as to his location during the accident and was adamant that he was turning left onto Centre Street and not Herrick Road. I advised Sugarman that I was on scene with the first responding Officers and the accident clearly occurred at the intersection of Beacon Street and Herrick Road based upon the final resting place of the bicycle. Sugarman went on to state that his vehicle was already turning when the bicycle struck his vehicle and he believed it was the bicyclists fault. I advised Sugarman it appears the bicyclist had the right of way since it was traveling straight and that because his vehicle was taking a left turn, he failed to yield for on coming traffic at an intersection. When asked why he did not stay at the scene of the accident Sugarman stated he got out of his vehicle and spoke to the bicyclist and he "seemed okay". Sugarman states he then left the scene while the victim was still sitting on the ground. I asked Sugarman if he had ever been involved in accident before and he replied "no." I advised Sugarman that I am currently looking at his drivers history and see nine accidents that he was involved in. Sugarman stated "he has never been in accident like this before." I then asked Sugarman what the law states when you are involved in an accident and he was not able to provide me with an answer. I advised him that the law states you must stop and exchange information before leaving the scene of an accident. Again he stated the bicyclist seemed okay and "he had somewhere to be so he left." Sugarman has an extensive drivers history including nine surchargeable accidents, reckless operation, two different charges of leaving the scene property damage and two immediate threat affidavits filed against him. I advised Sugarman that I will be mailing him a citation for Ch89 s8 Fail to yield to oncoming traffic, and Ch90 s24 Leaving the scene of personal injury. I also filed an immediate threat form with the registry. I emailed the witness using the information he provided to the Newton Fire Dept that was on scene and received a phone call back from the witness identified as Bruce Adams. See witness report for his statements. I contacted the Bank of America located at 808 Beacon Street in Newton, as they are the closest business to that intersection with video surveillance. I spoke with George Walsh (781-834-8275) who stated they do not have any working cameras on that side of the building to the bank. For this report the bicyclist is entered as a non-motorist for validation purposes. Witness Bruce Adams (MA OLN S96398108) stated that he was riding his bicycle travelling behind the victim about 100 feet away. Adams states he was watching the victim and had a clear view of him as he travelled behind him, through the green traffic light heading eastbound on Beacon Street. Adams stated he witnessed MV1 travelling westbound on Beacon Street take a sharp left turn onto Herrick Road which turns into Union Street. Adams stated that the vehicle turned left colliding into the bicycle and there was no possible way the bicyclist had time to stop to avoid the collision. Adams stated the victim flew over his handle bars and fell on top of MV1's hood and then landed on the ground. Adams stated the victim's bicycle was stuck under MV1's front bumper. Adams stated the operator of MV1 backed his vehicle up with the bicycle still attached to his vehicle bumper and pulled MV1 over to the side of the road. The operator then got out of his vehicle and walked up to the victim who was laying on the ground visibly in pain. Adams stated the operator asked the victim if he was okay to which the victim did not immediatley reply as he was visibly shaken up. Adams stated the operator then walked back to his vehicle and attempted to leave the scene and that is when Adams stood infront of MV1 to stop him from leaving the scene. Adams stated he then removed the bicycle from underneath the bumper of MV1 and placed it on the side of the road. Adams stated the operator got out of his vehicle again and walked up to the victim and asked him "what do you want to do?". Adams stated the victim did not respond and that is when the operator got back into his vehicle and drove away, leaving the scene before any emergency response arrived. Adams stated he was able to memorize MV1's registration and stayed with the victim until police, fire and medics arrived. He stated he gave the fire dept the registration and his contact information prior to leaving the scene.

We also observed skid marks from MV1 measuring 57 feet 8 inches from the start of it's skid to the vehicles final rest MV1 crashed into the rear of MV2. The impact caused MV2 to enter the Southbound travel lane of Centre Street and crash into MV3 as it was passing by. The impact from MV2's front end crashing into MV3's driver side resulted in the operator of MV3 becoming entrapped. MV2 and MV3 came to final rest on Wesley Street (W) at Centre Street (S). The driver door of MV3 was inaccessible. The collsion resulted in air bag deployment for MV2 and MV3. I observed moderate damage to MV1's front grill/bumper area.

Officer Martin contacted Trooper Grey of the Massachusetts State Police Truck Team who also responded to assist with the truck inspection. Sgt. Lee remained with Officer Martin and Trooper Grey during the inspection. MV1 was relocated to Richardson Street for the inspection. Trooper Grey determined the truck was in compliance with all required paperwork and it passed it's mechanical inspection. MV1 was removed from the roadway by a state tow. I spoke with the operator of MV1, William Tisbert (S24792655). Tisbert stated he was operating a 2006 KW W900 Semi Truck (NH SEMI: AP2638) Northbound on Centre Street. Tisbert stated as he was approaching Mt. Ida Street, a vehicle came out of no where and he hit it. Tisbert stated there was no one in front of him and then a vehicle came off of a side street (Mt. Ida Street) and attempted to turn left in front of him to return to the side street. Tisbert stated he could not avoid hitting the vehicle. Tisbert crashed into the rear of MV2. MV2 then crossed into the opposite lane and crashed into another vehicle. Tisbert remained on scene and reported no injuries. Tisbert stated he was wearing his seatbelt at the time of the accident and was not distracted. Tisbert later admitted to crashing into the rear of MV2. I spoke with the operator of MV2, Janet Vanbuskirk (S59829146), at Newton Wellesley Hospital.

Vanbuskirk had her left directional on and was waiting for traffic in the Southbound lane to clear to take a left turn onto Mt. Ida Street. Vanbuskirk stated MV1 crashed into the rear of her vehicle. As a result of the impact, Vanbuskirk's vehicle traveled into the opposite lane and crashed into the driver side of MV3. Vanbuskirk reported minor injuries to her neck, left arm, and right hand. I spoke with the operator of MV3, Madeleine Karolian (S23979811), at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston. Karolian stated she was operating her 2016 Toyota Prius (MA: EV5746) Southbound on Centre Street. Karolian stated MV1 crashed into MV2, and MV2 crashed into her vehicle. Karolian stated she did not have time to avoid the collision. Karolian stated she had minor injuries to her neck and chest. Karolian's vehicle had a dash cam recording at the time of the accident. I viewed the footage with her through an app on a cell phone. The footage shows MV3 traveling Southbound on Centre Street on August 8, 2019 at 1308 hours. Ahead of MV3 in the Northbound lane, MV2 is seen stopped on Centre Street before Mt. Ida Street with it's left directional activated. I observed MV1 travel Northbound on Centre Street and crash into the rear of MV2. The impact caused MV2 to enter the Southbound travel lane and crashed into the driver side of MV3. The footage then ends. A copy of the footage was emailed to my work email. The footage was then forwarded to IT Director Steve Smith to be added to the media for this report. As a result of my investigation, the operator of MV1, William Tisbert, will be cited for Newton City Ordinance Chapter 19, Section 71 (Following too closely). Massachusetts Uniform Citation T1270942 was completed and mailed to Tisbert's residence.

She further stated there is a long standing and ongoing neighbor problem with the person in the other vehicle and she did not want to speak with her without an Officer present. Upon arrival at the address LEVIN was already back on scene and began telling me what had occurred when the operator of the other vehicle, DELORIE Diane, came down the driveway and became confrontational with LEVIN and myself. I Instructed her to go back to her vehicle and wait for me to come up to her. LEVIN continued to tell me that she was backing down the driveway toward Oak St. and as she backed onto Oak St. she did not see the other vehicle and struck the front of DELORIE's vehicle with the rear of hers. After speaking with LEVIN I went to speak with DELORIE and stated there was no need to be confrontational as there was no intent and this was simply an accident. I asked DELORIE what happened and she stated she was travelling Southbound on Oak Street and slowed to a stop to take a right into her driveway at 23 Oak Street. DELORIE stated LEVIN was backing down the driveway at a high rate of speed and backed out of the driveway striking the front of her vehicle. Both LEVIN and DELORIE have a shared driveway and DELORIE needed to wait for LEVIN to exit before she could proceed into her driveway. DELORIE stated to me she felt it was done on purpose and wanted LEVIN cited and charged for leaving the scene. I informed DELORIE this did not constitute Leaving the Scene of a Motor Vehicle Crash - Property Damage as LEVIN reported the crash before DELORIE called. DELORIE and her husband disagreed with my assessment of the incident. DELORIE's husband insisted this constituted Leaving the Scene and DELORIE insisted backing out of a driveway was not permitted by State Law. I informed both parties that LEVIN would be given a verbal warning regarding failure to use care in backing but no citations would be issued There was minor damage caused to the passenger side front bumper of DELORIE's vehicle and no damage to the rear of LEVIN's vehicle.

At the time of the crash, there were two students from Zervas Elementary School being transported by Ms. Keefe and a bus monitor, Ms. Emily Scofield (S96767671). The students being transported were Andre Toossi Zacarias and Daniel Alvarado. No injuries were reported by any of the occupants of MV1. Daniel and Andre were evaluated by Newton Medics and transported from the area by a parent. I observed significant damage to the entire front end of MV1. Tody's Towing responded and removed the vehicle from the roadway. The operator of MV2, Mr. William Harrigan (S77851597), stated he was operating his 2009 Toyota Yaris (MA: 2YGG77) on Temple Street (N) towards Commonwealth Avenue. Mr. Harrigan stated he came to a stop at the intersection on Temple Street, and then proceeded to enter Commonwealth Avenue to take a left turn. Mr. Hannigan stated when he entered Commonwealth Avenue and did not see MV1 traveling towards him. Mr. Hannigan stated MV1 crashed into his driver side. I observed significant damage to the entire driver side of MV2. Mr. Harrigan initially signed a patient refusal with Newton Medics, but then was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital for evaluation. Tody's towing responded and removed MV2 from the roadway. The operator of MV3, Ms. Mary Potere (S96201952), stated she was traveling on Commonwealth Avenue (E) towards Temple Street in her 2018 Toyota Camry (MA: 18FW37). Ms. Potere stated MV2 entered the roadway in front of MV1 as it was traveling on Commonwealth Avenue (W) from Temple Street (S), and MV1 could not avoid the collision. MV2 crashed into MV3's driver side after MV2 was hit by MV1. Ms. Potere was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital by Newton Medics for a potential head and neck injury. I observed damage to the front end and driver side of MV3. Tody's towing responded and removed MV3 from the roadway. I spoke with a witness to the crash, Ms. Susan Flicop. Ms. Flicop stated she was traveling behind MV1 on Commonwealth Avenue (W) at the time of the crash. Ms. Flicop stated she observed MV2 stopped on Temple Street ahead of MV1, and MV2 was "edging out" onto Commonwealth Avenue. Ms. Flicop stated MV2 entered Commonwealth Avenue in front of MV1, and MV1 did not have time to stop. Ms. Flicop stated MV1 crashed into MV2's driver side and pushed the vehicle back. Ms. Flicop stated at this time, MV3 was traveling on Commonwealth Avenue (E) and was hit by one of the vehicles. Ms. Flicop stated once MV2 came to a stop in the roadway, it rolled back onto the medium off the roadway. After speaking with all parties involved, I have surmised that Mr. Harrigan failed to use care while entering the roadway prior to the crash. Mr. Harrigan did not yield to MV1's right of way while she was traveling on Commonwealth Avenue, resulting in the collision. Mr. Harrigan was provided with Massachusetts Uniform Citation 455661AB in hand for Chapter 89, Section 8 (Fail to Yield to Right of Way), and Newton City Ordinance Chapter 19, Section 75 (Fail to Use Care). Photos were taken of the crash scene and submitted to the IT Bureau.

On Wednesday, July 6, 2022, while assigned to unit N495, I responded to the area of Beacon Street and Walnut Street, Newton for a report of an MVA with no injuries. I met with both vehicles in the parking lot behind 1087 Beacon Street. The operator of MV1, Ms. Anne Bowers (SA6690354), stated she was operating her 2020 Mazda CX-5 (MA: 2SWC86) on Walnut Street (S) towards Beacon Street in the left turn only lane. Ms. Bowers stated the vehicle to her right entered her lane as she was traveling straight and crashed into the front passenger side area of her vehicle. I observed damage to the front passenger side tire/bumper/fender area of MV1. Ms. Bowers reported no injuries. The operator of MV2, Ms. Katia Inga-Martin (S74928812) stated she was operating her 2021 Nissan Rogue (MA:1VAX73) on Walnut Street (S) towards Beacon Street. Ms. Inga-Martin stated she put her left directional on to move into the other lane and did not see any other vehicles. Ms. Inga-Martin stated when she attempted to move into the left lane the driver side of her vehicle crashed into the passenger side of MV1. I observed moderate damage to the front driver side tire/fender/bumper/door area of MV2. Ms. Inga-Martin reported no injuries. Tody's towing responded and removed MV2 from the roadway due to the driver door not being able to secure. Both parties were advised.
