On 5/20/19 at about 1510hrs I was dispatched to 136 Evelyn Rd for an MVA. En route to the location with Ofc Gourdeau, it was determined by first arriving Ofc Gourdeau that a vehicle had crashed through a fence at the end of Troy Lane and came to rest in the backyard of 126 Evelyn Rd. On arrival, I located the vehicle operator, identified as Mr Stuart Phillips who was operating MA Reg 8VVP40, an '03 Jaguar S Type model. Mr Phillips was walking around the backyard after the collision and appeared coherent as to what had transpired. He sustained a laceration to the top of his head and was bleeding heavily. We sat him down in a lawn chair prior to medics arrival to evaluate. When asked what happened, he stated he "hit the gas instead of the brakes". I asked him where did the accident begin? He stated he was turning around at the end of Troy Lane (a dead end cul de sac) and crashed through the fence there. Mr Phillips was alert and speaking clearly. I asked him if he was on any medication? He stated he was taking Plavix only, a blood thinner. I asked about his medical history and he stated he was released from Spalding Rehab today for treatment from a stroke and was receiving occupational therapy. Medics arrived to evaluate and he was transported to NWH for treatment. An investigation of the crash path of the vehicle revealed the following based on tire tracks and damage left behind: The vehicle crashed through the fence at the end of the cul de sac belonging to 41A Helene Rd; Vehicle drove over that back lawn, clipped the back deck attached to the rear of the house; damaging the base of the deck and lattice below; Vehicle travelled over the patio, then crashed through shrubbery down an embankment leading to the backyard of 132 Evelyn Rd; Vehicle drove through backyard of 132 Evelyn, then continued along the side of the house where it drove over damaging three retaining walls and clipped a large tree; After driving over the third retaining wall, vehicle continued through the backyard of 126 Evelyn, causing significant lawn damage; Vehicle continued until it hit the back of the house at 126 Evelyn; there, it drove over the rear patio before it struck a ground level basement window and window well; It came to a rest there where the vehicle caught on fire under the hood. Witnesses helped extinguish the fire with a garden house (see incident report #19020129) until NFD arrived to knock it down. Significant front lawn damage to 126 Evelyn occurred as well as NFD was arriving on scene to what was first reported as a structure fire. Several photos of the area were taken by myself. The memory chip was TOT the I.T. bureau to be attached to this report. Tody's towing towed the vehicle out of the backyard by accessing the rear driveway of 132 Evelyn Rd. Mr Phillips cited for Negligent Operation and an Immediate Threat for License Suspension/Revocation faxed to the RMV. Troy Lane is a public way in the City of Newton.

On September 30, 2019 at approximately 16:56 I responded to a reported hit and run crash at 195 Sumner St. Dispatch gave out a description of the vehicle that fled, described as a red pickup truck with a possible partial plate of" MVNA". I, along with several other units checked the area for the vehicle with negative results. I responded to 195 Sumner St. and spoke with the operator of MV 1, who explained that he was traveling Northbound on Langley Rd onto Sumner St when a red pickup truck attempted to pass the RP from behind. Due to Sumner St being a narrow, one way street, the pickup truck cut back in front of MV1 and struck the front driver's side of MV1 with the rear passenger side of the pickup truck.The pickup truck proceeded down Sumner St. towards Centre St. without attempted to stop. The operator of MV1 did not know the make or model of the vehicle, but described it as a full size pickup truck that was red/maroon with a black tailgate with a large "fox racing" sticker on it. The description of the vehicle that fled was broadcasted to units canvassing the area, but was not found.

On 09/30/2020 at approximately 19:32hrs members of the Newton Police Patrol Bureau responded to a motor vehicle crash near the intersection of Washington St and Eddy St. After an initial investigation of the crash the Patrol Bureau secured the crash scene and called in the Newton Police Traffic Bureau to investigate. At approximately 19:45hrs Sgt. Devine, Ofc Wilson and I (Ofc Schlegel) from the NPD Traffic Bureau responded to the scene to investigate. Upon arrival to the scene I was met by Ofc Kane of the NPD Patrol Bureau. Ofc Kane stated that the crash was located in the driveway of 74 Eddy St and that it involved a Ford F350 pickup striking two parked cars. Ofc Kane stated that the operator identified as Kyle Butler had already been taken to Newton Wellesley Hospital by Cataldo EMS for injuries. . Upon approaching the crash scene I observed the following: The crash occurred at night time hours at approximately 19:32EST near the intersection of Washington St and Eddy St. Both Washington St and Eddy St are public ways in the City of Newton. The weather conditions at the time of the crash were a dark and clear with a temperature of approximately 60 degrees F. Washington St is a four lane undivided roadway (2 westbound travel lanes and 2 eastbound travel lanes). Washington St lighted roadway which has concrete light poles on both the westbound and eastbound sides. Washington St was under construction at the time and had a base coat of asphalt applied. At the time of the crash Washington St did not have any painted lane markings due to ongoing construction. Washington St is separated from the road sides on both the eastbound edge and the westbound edge with fixed granite curbing. The roadway also had several orange traffic barrels and traffic cones located edges of the eastbound and westbound lanes. Affixed to the light poles and the traffic barrels were temporary no parking signs for the ongoing road construction. At the time of the crash no road construction activities were taking place. No major debris or other obstructions were observed in the roadway. Washington St is a major roadway in the City of Newton and travels west to East across the entire City of Newton. This area of Washington St where the crash occurred is in between West Newton Square and Newtonville Square, this area has a posted 35 MPH speed limit. Both West Newton Square and Newtonville Square are densely populated with several businesses and residential areas. The section of Washington St where the crash occurred is also traveled frequently by pedestrian, bicycle and motor vehicle traffic. At the time the crash occurred 19:32hrs This area of Washington St is still a heavily travelled roadway. I observed Vehicle 1 described as a 2003 Ford F350 color white (MA Reg 5DT664) located in the driveway of 74 Eddy St. 74 Eddy St is a multi-family dwelling house located on the corner of Washington St and Eddy St. The driveway of 74 Eddy St is on the Washington St side. Vehicle was faced easterly across the driveway. I observed Vehicle 1to have extensive damage to the entire vehicle including but not limited to the enclosed cab area, cab roof and all windows, front end, rear end, along with both driver and passenger side. I also observed city of Newton owned concrete traffic light resting on top of the cab area of Vehicle 1. Upon further observation of Vehicle 1 it appears that both front tires and rims were flat, heavily damaged and had little to no tread left. Both front tires were worn down to the interior steel belt. I also observed that Vehicle 1 did not have a valid inspection sticker. Located to the immediate front of Vehicle 1 and resting on the front end was a white fence which had damage consistent with the impact of a motor vehicle. Immediately to the driver's side of Vehicle 1 was Vehicle 2 described as a 2007 gray Subaru Forester (MA Reg 45D610. Vehicle 2 was facing westerly across the driveway. Vehicle 2 had extensive damage to the driver's side front end, rear end, in addition to the entire driver and passenger sides. At this time Vehicle 2's drivers door was in contact with Vehicle 1's drivers door. Both drivers doors could not be opened.The damage to Vehicle 2 appeared to be consistent with impact from another motor vehicle. To immediate passenger side of the Vehicle 2 I observed Vehicle 3 described as a 2011 Toyota Rav4 color black (MA Reg 47XB99). Vehicle was facing in an easterly direction across the driveway. I observed the Vehicle 3 to have extensive damage to driver's side rear quarter panel, passenger side front quarter panel and front end. Also observed was damage to south east corner of the dwelling of 74 Eddy St. This area of the dwelling is located adjacent to the drive way. The damage appeared consistent with the impact caused by a motor vehicle. Also observed were large amounts of debris located in the area of the crash which included the sidewalk, yard and the driveway of 74 Eddy St. The debris included pieces of concrete which appeared to have been dislodged from the concrete light pole. A city of Newton no parking sign was lying in the yard of 74 Eddy St. This parking sign would have been attached to the concrete light pole due to ongoing road construction on Washington St. I also observed two tire marks on a curb stone located next the westbound lane of Washington St. These tire marks were in front of the residence of 74 Eddy St and were to the immediate left of a storm drain. The tire marks were consistent with being struck by a motor vehicle. In between the tire marks and just after the curb there was a hole in the ground with wires sticking out of it. This hole appears to be the location the concrete light pole was located prior to impact. Tire marks were located on Washington St traveling from the east bound lane easterly across the westbound lane and ending at the tire marks on the curb. The total length of the tire marks was approximately 190 feet. After conducting an on scene investigation it appears that Vehicle 1 from the start of the tire mark in eastbound travel lane of Washington St traveled 190 feet in the easterly direct across the westbound lane of Washington St and impacted the curb in front of 74 Eddy St. The tire marks had lateral striations almost the entire length indicating that the front tires were rolling and sliding with little to no braking prior to impact with the curb. After impact with the curb Vehicle 1 exited the roadway, struck a concrete light pole. Vehicle 1 then traveled over a sidewalk, across the yard of 74 Eddy St and into the driveway of 74 Eddy St. Located in the driveway of 74 Eddy St were Vehicle 2 and Vehicle 3. Vehicle 2 was parked facing toward the rear of 74 Eddy St. Vehicle 3 located to the passenger side of Vehicle 2 and was parked facing towards Washington St. When Vehicle 1 entered the driveway it struck Vehicle 2. The force of the impact of Vehicle 1 striking Vehicle 2 caused Vehicle 2 to strike Vehicle 3. The force of the impact of Vehicle 2 striking Vehicle 3 caused Vehicle 3 to strike the southeast corner of the dwelling located at 74 Elliot St. Vehicle 1 continued across the drive way and struck a white fence before coming to final rest. Vehicle traveled a approximately 55 feet from when it initially struck to the curb till final rest. No other injuries were reported on scene. All involved vehicles were towed from the scene by Tody's Towing. After the investigation the operator of Vehicle 1 Kyle Butler was issued Citations T2015882 and T2015883 for: Mgl 90/24/O Recklass Operation of a Motor Vehicle Mgl 89/4B/A Failure to Operate in the Right Lane Mgl 90/20 Failure to Submit a Motor Vehicle for Inspection Mgl 90/7 Defective Equipment (worn front tire treads) Mgl 90/13A Failure to wear a seatbelt An immediate threat form was also filed with the MA RMV.

On 1/21/21 I was working N493 when I responded to the area 450 Lexington St for a report of damage to city property from an MVA. Upon arrival I observed a parking sign that had been broken in half, Parking Meters that had been ripped from the ground and completely smashed, and 1 MA reg plate 8AH567. The plate came back to 398 Wolcott St. where I spoke to Dylan Crook. Crook stated he had been driving MA reg 8ah567 when he crashed and then went home. Crook stated he was distracted and reaching down to get something when he went off the road. Crook was given Ma unifrom citation T2080020 for 90/24/C Leaving the scene of an accident with property damage, which was explained to him. The city responded to clean up debris.

Operator of MV#1 stated he was driving eastbound on Auburndale Ave when MV#2 came towards him. MV#2 swerved into the wrong lane and crashed into the driver side of MV#1. MV#1 attempted to pull up on the curb to avoid the crash and got a flat tire on the front passenger side. MV#1 sustained damage to the entire drivers side of the vehicle and had to be towed from the scene. MV#2 was described as a RAM pick up truck that fled the scene. I was able to view dash cam footage of the crash which confirmed the events as described. The truck did not have a front license plate and was not able to be identified. It sustained damage to the drivers side. Officers checked the surrounding area with negative results. David Donahue from Tody's towed the vehicle from the scene. The occupants were uninjured and took an Uber.

On 6/18/21 at approximately 0119 hrs Sgt. Fleming, Officer L. Keefe, and I, Officer Mildner responded to Sumner St @ Willow St. (public ways in Newton) for a report of a single motor vehicle crash. Upon arrival I noticed MA Reg: 8SP545 up on the sidewalk, air bags deployed, with heavy front end damage from what appeared to be from crashing into a tree. The operator was identified as Saurabh Korgaonkar, who was being evaluated by the medics and signed a patient refusal. I spoke with Korgaonkar and asked him what happened. As I began speaking to Korgaonkar I noticed he a strong odor of alcoholic beverage coming from his breath, glassy eyes, and slurred speech. Korgaonkar stated he was driving home from Brookline somewhere in the area of Commonwealth Ave. and Washington St. I asked Korgaonkar where he was specifically coming from and he stated "Abbey". I asked Korgaonkar if he had anything to drink while he was there to which he stated "two drinks". It should be noted Korgaonkar was unsteady on his feet and seemed extremely confused about what just happened. Given the damage from the crash, my conversation with Korgaonkar, and Korgaonkar's current state, I asked him if he was willing to perform Field Sobriety Tests. Korgaonkar stated he was willing to take the tests. I asked Korgaonkar if he wears glasses or contacts to which he stated "no". I asked Korgaonkar if he had any medical conditions that would affect his ability to take the tests to which he stated "no". I asked Korgaonkar if he felt comfortable in the shoes he was wearing to which he stated "yes". I brought Korgaonkar over to a clear spot on the side of the road on the fog line where the area was illuminated by the street light and cruiser spotlight. There were no blue lights on the cruisers. I used a field sobriety card I carry with me on my person to explain and instruct the tests. The first test I administered to Korgaonkar was Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus. I explained to Korgaonkar I was going to use a pen as the stimulus and to only follow it using his eyes only, not his head. Korgaonkar stated he understood the directions. The first attempt, Korgaonkar follow the pen using his head. I explained to Korgaonkar not to follow the pen using his head, but his eyes only. Korgaonkar stated he understood. The second attempt, Korgaonkar followed the pen using his head. I advised Korgaonkar again, to only use his eyes. On the third attempt, Korgaonkar followed the pen using his eyes only and I saw distinct nystagmus at maximum deviation and onset of nystagmus prior to 45 degrees. The second test I administered was the 9 Step Walk and Turn. I demonstrated the test for Korgaonkar and instructed him on how to complete the test. I placed my left foot on the fog line and right foot, heal to toe in front of the left. I demonstrated three heal to toe steps on the line, counting out loud, and keeping my hands by my side. Korgaonkar was advised to take 9 heal to toe steps, and then turn around and complete 9 more heal to toe steps. Korgaonkar stated he understood. During the test Korgaonkar did not place his heal to toe on steps 3,4,5. Korgaonkar almost fell over on the fourth step. Korgaonkar did not count out loud his steps and was using his arms for balance. On Korgaonkar's return, he did not count out loud again, almost fell to the side on step 6, was using his arms for balance, and stopped the test on his own at step 7. The third test I administered was the one leg stand. I explained to Korgaonkar the instructions and demonstrated the test for him. Korgaonkar stated he understood. I placed my hands by my side, feet together, raised my right foot six inches while looking at my foot, and counted 1001, 1002, 1003. I asked Korgaonkar if he understood, and not to stop counting until I told him to. Korgaonkar stated he understood. On the first attempt, I told Korgaonkar to start and he didn't lift a foot off the ground. On the second attempt, Korgaonkar lifted his left leg off the ground two inches, was looking straight ahead, and was not pointing his left foot. I explained to Korgaonkar his foot needed to be six inches off the ground, pointed, while keeping his eyes on his foot. On the third attempt, Korgaonkar dropped his left foot on 1004 and lost his balance on 1012. I concluded the test at 1020 counts. Based on my observations and Korgaonkar's performance on the field sobriety tests, I concluded that Korgaonkar had been operating a motor under the influence of alcohol. Korgaonkar was handcuffed (DL), searched, and placed in the rear of 496 where he was seat belted. The prisoner compartment was checked prior to and after transportation to NPD. Korgaonkar was booked by Sgt. Fleming and processed by Officer Ka. Donahue in the normal fashion. During booking, Korgaonkar was read his rights and asked if he wanted to take a breathalyzer test. Korgaonkar refused the breathalyzer test. Korgaonkar was notified his license was suspended, and his MA drivers licensed seized. Officer L. Keefe stood by and waited for Tody's to arrive and tow away the vehicle. A towed MV form was filled out and placed in appropriate mailbox. Korgaonkar was charged with the following: MGL Ch. 90 Sec. 24/J OUI Alcohol (Korgaonkar crashed his vehicle and failed field sobriety tests) MGL Ch. 90 Sec. 24/E Negligent Operation of MV (Korgaonkar failed to operate his vehicle in a safe manner) MGL Ch. 89 Sec. 4/A Marked Lanes Violation (Korgaonkar crossed the fog line, went onto the sidewalk, and hit a tree) Photo's of scene sent to IT. A court packet was filled out with all pertinent information and placed in the court prosecutors mailbox.

On 01/03/22 at approximately 1617 hours Officer Robert March and I, Officer Whitney Hyde, were assigned to N499 when we were dispatched to a 2 car MVA at 160 Needham St with no injuries. Both vehicles were waiting in the parking lot. On location I made contact with the operator of Vehicle 1, identified as Samantha LERNER. LERNER stated that the had been travelling southbound on Needham St and stopped in the center left turn lane to turn into the Farm Grill. When it was clear to turn, LERNER began to turn left when Vehicle 2 passed her on the left and made contact with the driver side front quarter panel of Vehicle 1. I observed scrapes and minor damage to Vehicle 1's front bumper and driver side front wheel rim. LERNER stated that the operator of Vehicle 2, later identified as Leanna LANDE, exited her vehicle at the time of the accident and exclaimed that her dog was dying and she was headed to the animal hospital down the road and they could exchange information there. LERNER proceeded to the animal hospital and was waiting for LANDE to come back out. I then entered the animal hospital and made contact with LANDE. LANDE was extremely upset as her 7 week old puppy had just died. LANDE stated that she had been in a panic because of her dying dog and passed LERNER when she shouldn't have, stating it was "stupid." Outside of the animal hospital I observed Vehicle 2 had minor damage along the length of the passenger side, including scrapes with white paint transfer. I issued LANDE MA Uniform Citation #T1448086 in hand for 89/4A Marked Lanes violation and explained the payment and appeal process. LANDE stated she understood. I provided LANDE and LERNER with the accident number and facilitated their exchange of information before clearing without further incident.

On Tuesday, February 15th, 2022 at approximately 1908 hours the operator of Vehicle 1 was travelling Westbound on Auburn St when it crossed over the center double yellow lines, crossed the opposing lane of traffic, and went off the roadway before crashing through the vinyl privacy fence at #106 Auburn St. Vehicle 1 came to rest after colliding with the North-East corner of the residence. The operator of Vehicle 1 then attempted to reverse away from the crash and backed into and destroying more of the residence's privacy fence. The operator was then confronted by the occupants of the residence, including the homeowner. Fire and EMS arrived on scene and conducted patient care on the operator and formed the opinion that she was intoxicated. I arrived and interviewed the operator who stated that she had previously taken oxycodone. The operator was then transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital. The vehicle was towed from the scene by Tody's. The operator was charged with the following violations: C90ss24 OUI- Drugs C90ss24 Neg Op C89ss4A Marked Lanes An incident report was completed for this crash (See Report #22005833).

On April 9th 2022, at approximately 0038hrs, while assigned to cruiser N494, I, Officer Dragone, along with Officer Stake (N491) and Sgt. Brooks (N505) responded to the area of 196 Tremont St (public way in the City of Newton) for a report of a motor vehicle accident. Dispatch reported that the reporting party's vehicle was hit while it was parked in front of his address, and the operator of the other vehicle exchanged partial information and then left the scene. Upon arrival, I observed a blue Honda Accord bearing Massachusetts Registration: 1TDF63 (Vehicle 1) parked on the side of the road, blocking the driveway to 196 Tremont St. The vehicle had heavy damage along the driver's side of the vehicle and back left tire was pushed into the wheel well. In front of 190 Tremont St, I also observed a black BMW 528 bearing Massachusetts Registration: 1FDB38 ( Vehicle 2) with heavy damage along the passenger side of the vehicle and the front right wheel was completely detached from the axel. All the airbags in the vehicle were deployed, and it appeared that vehicle 2 was traveling Eastbound on Tremont St when it crashed into vehicle 1 at an angle. It should be noted that there were multiple deep scratches/dents on the hood, roof, and drivers side panels of vehicle 2 that were not consistent with the crash that just occurred; which indicates the operator was in multiple accidents prior to this one. Pro-tech Towing was also on scene to tow vehicle 2. I then spoke to the owner of vehicle 1, Ryan Desrosiers, who stated that his vehicle was parked on the side of the road when he heard a crash outside at approximately 2345hrs. Mr. Desrosiers stated when he went outside, he discovered his vehicle pushed in front of his driveway, approximately 10-15 feet from where he parked it, and the operator of vehicle 2 standing outside. Mr. Desrosiers stated when he spoke to the operator, he smelled like alcohol and had slurred speech. The operator, later identified as, Benjamin Wadsworth, told Mr. Desrosiers that he was "coming from in town" and "probably should have taken a Lyft tonight." When Mr. Desrosiers tried to exchange information, Mr. Wadsworth took Mr. Desrosiers' phone number and then texted him a link to a generic RMV website. Mr. Desrosiers then said Mr. Wadsworth called a tow company for his vehicle and insisted on paying out of pocket tomorrow for the damage to Mr. Desrosiers' vehicle but told him if he wanted he could call his insurance company. According to Mr. Desrosiers, Mr. Wadsworth then walked Eastbound on Tremont St towards Brighton. It should be noted that Mr. Wadsworth did not provide his name, address, or insurance company to Mr. Desrosiers prior to leaving. I had dispatch run a query on vehicle 2 (MA Reg: 1FDB38) and it came back registered to Benjamin Wadsworth out of 13 Charmane Rd East Falmouth, Massachusetts. While speaking with Mr. Desrosiers, the driver of the tow truck called Mr. Wadsworth cell phone to notify him that he was not going to be towing his vehicle. I was then able to get on the phone and speak with him, and he identified himself as Benjamin Wadsworth and admitted to being involved in the accident that just occurred. When I asked Mr. Wadsworth his location because I was concerned for his well-being due to the severity of the crash and airbag deployment, he stated he was at his apartment in Brighton. When I asked for the address of his apartment, he refused to give it to me and stated he was fine. I stated to Mr. Wadsworth that because he only gave limited information and then left the area that he could be charged with Leaving the scene of a collision, to which he replied, "I am in law school you can see the books in the back of my car, you can't do that, you have my plate, he can look that information online." When asked about having an address out of Falmouth, Mr. Wadsworth stated he has two addresses because he attends school in the area. It should be noted that while speaking with Mr. Wadsworth on the phone, his speech was slurred, slow, and dilerbrate, consistent with being intoxicated. Tody's towing arrived on scene and took possession of Mr. Wadsworth's vehicle. I then tried a second time to speak with Mr. Wadsworth via a phone call to get him to agree to a well-being check. Mr. Wadsworth, again, refused to provide me with his address in Brighton, insisting he was fine. Although Mr. Wadsworth sounded intoxicated, he did not sound injured and was coherent when answering my questions. Due to Benjamin Wadsworth operating recklessly, knowingly getting into a collision causing property damage, not providing his name, not providing his address, and leaving the scene, I am issuing him Massachusetts Uniformed Citation T1445620 for the following: MGL. Ch. 90 S.24 (Leaving the scene of a collision after property damage) MGL. Ch. 90 S.24/E (Negligent operation of a motor vehicle) A Request for Immediate Threat License Suspension/Revocation form was filled out and faxed over to the RMV.
