MA commercial reg M94754 (vehicle #1), a City of Newton pickup/sander truck, was located crashed over the curb in front of 1970 Beacon St. The vehicle was unoccupied, had the keys in the ignition, and was reported stolen just a few minutes prior to discovery. The reporting party of the stolen truck and uninvolved occupant is identified as City DPW worker George Sementelli. The witness/passerby who discovered the collision is also a DPW worker, identified as Donny Brandt. Pursuant to an investigation outlined in incident #19002213, the operator at the time of the crash was determined to be Michael Carter. It is believed that Carter stole the vehicle from 295 Auburn St, fled the area, and ultimately crashed in front of 1970 Beacon St. Corroborating facts outlined in the incident report put Carter as the operator. The vehicle itself was located partially on the sidewalk and partially on the road, therefore Carter is being cited with MGL 89/4A - Marked Lanes Violation (T1268423). Due to the fact it is believed that Carter fled the scene after the crash, MGL 90/24/C - Leaving the Scene of Property Damage was added as well as MGL 90/23/D Operating After a Suspended LIcense, and MGL 90/24/O - Reckless Operation of a Motor Vehicle. The crash occurred during busy weekday commuting about 0.7 miles from Angier Elementary School. The last 3 charges mentioned have been listed on a second citation (T1268422). Officer Brooks also issued T0648082 for OUI Drugs MGL 90/24/G. See the incident report for details about this charge. In total, there are (3) citations issued to Carter. The vehicle sustained heavy front end damage. It should be noted that the utility pole a couple of houses down from the crash site (Beacon/Varick Rd, pole #212) sustained fresh, minor superficial damage, consistent with the vehicle crashing into it before verring onto the sidewalk. Pictures have been taken and submitted to the IT bureau. Tody's responded and towed the vehicle to the police garage for processing due to the pending other criminal charges involved in this accident/incident. Michael Carter was subsequently placed under arrest and his citations have been placed into his property. Carter suffered a hand injury due to the crash an was transported to NWH Hospital for an evaluation after he was booked.

On 1/18/19 at approximately 1200hrs, a party who wished to remain anonymous reported observing a tractor trailer travelling on Washington St W/B at #1479 where the street curves to the right struck a traffic light pole in front of Burke & Blackington Funeral Home. The side of the trailer struck the pole. It was reported the operator, a non descript black male, stopped after the collision, picked up the downed pole and moved it onto the sidewalk. Markings observed on the trailer were "Powered Transportation" out of Laurel, Mississippi. Unknown plates. Operator left scene and as of this time, it hasn't been reported by the operator. Photos were taken of the downed pole and submitted to the IT bureau. Daigle Electric notified to respond. Google search of "Powered Transportation" was negative results.

On the above date and time I responded to the area of St.James St at Washington Street for a report of a past hit/run with City traffic signal knocked over. Upon arrival I observed the the traffic signal on St. James Street westbound just before the Washington Street bridge on the roadway. I did observe what appeared to be a sidewalk plow tire impressions on the sidewalk to the traffic signal. I cnanvassed the area with negative results and I am waiting to hear back from Public works who may have been assigned the area to plow the side walks. I also checked for any cameras in the area with negative results. I took pictures of the crash site area and I will have them downloaded at th I.T. Bureau.

I then traveled over to National Lumber and met with Assarian. He showed me the video and it appears that a newer grey four door Chevrolet truck backed into Lopes truck around 06:58 of 05/07/19. The Massachusetts plate is unreadable but an older White heavy set male gets out of the truck and walks into the store. After parking the truck the male can be seen checking his own truck bumper for damage. The male is wearing a baseball hat and sun glasses and cannot be identified on the video. The male does however walk with a noticeable limp. Assarian will show his picture to his employees and contact me if the employees are able to identify the male driver. I called Lopes back and apprised him of my findings. ******************UPDATE**************************************** As of today 05/20/19 I have yet to hear back from anyone at National Lumber so I will end this investigation and label it a hit and run crash.

On 08/06/19 at 12:34 hours, I responded to Industrial Place by The Lakeshore Learning Store at the request of Newton Police Officer Justin March who witnessed an accident in the parking lot of 300 Needham Street. Officer March was working a road construction detail at the time in the City of Newton. He states that at approximately 12:20 hours he observed MV1 exiting the parking lot of 300 Needham Street( a drive way to a building that the public has access to). There is an island in the middle that separates the entrance and exit of the lot as it goes out to Needham Street. As MV1 was exiting, he drove up on the island and pushed two large stone builders out of place. There was also damage to numerous different flowers planted in the ground. MV1 then exited the lot and went eastbound on Needham Street. Officer March then followed in his vehicle and kept beeping his horn to alert the driver to stop. The operator turned on to Industrial Place and pulled over. Ofc. March attempted to speak to the operator, Gelvin Perez-Ramirez but there was a language barrier. Next, Ofc. Calderon responded and assisted with Spanish translation. He asked the operator what occurred and he stated that he never saw the island. Due to the fact that the operator left the scene of the accident and never reported it, he was issued MA Uniform Citation # T1445351 for Ch. 90/24/C. MV1 sustained damage to the two exhaust pipes on the passenger side of the truck. There is also possible undercarriage damage. Ofc. M. Wade took photos of the scene.

On 08/13/19 at 14:53 hours, I responded to a hit and run motor vehicle accident located at 244 Needham Street. The operator of MV1 states she was parked in a parking spot to the right of the Splash business at 244 Needham Street. The parking spot is located on Charlemont Street. After parking, she was sitting in her motor vehicle when she heard a bump to her driver's side rear end from MV2 backing up from a parking spot across from her. She says the operator of MV2 turned and looked at her and kept proceeding (NB) on Charlemont towards Needham Street. She then exited her vehicle to try and get the operator's attention to no avail. She took a photo of MV2 which was a black Toyota Highlander bearing MA reg.# R85045. She described the operator as a white female in her forties with possibly dark curly hair. I observed minor paint damage and scratches to the driver's side rear quarter panel area. The operator is unsure if that damage is from the accident. The owner of MV2, Steven Masterson has a residential address of 40 Wild Acres Rd in North Attleboro, MA and a mailing address of 34 Central Street Foxborough, MA. A telephone search revealed a phone number of (269)857-7814 for him out of Aiken, SC and the Foxborough address but the number is not in service. UPDATE: I was provided a phone number for Masterson from N. Attleboro PD. On 08/16/19 at 12:45 hours, I spoke to Sheila Masterson who stated she was driving MV2 at the time of the reported accident. She stated that she was unaware that she struck MV1 and saw the other operator looking at her but thought nothing of it. Due to the accident being very minor or possibly no damage at all, no further action will be taken. Masterson was provided with the other operator's information.

The truck took a left on Auburn St and the top of the truck got caught on a city tree in front of 483 Auburn St. Cain-Heard was unable to get a plate for the vehicle and I did not see any cameras in the area. The truck uprooted the tree causing two branches to fall across the roadway and the sidewalk square to be displaced. We were able to move the branches out of the roadway to allow traffic to pass. Forestry was notified, responded and removed the branches. The affected sidewalk was taped off and the city was notified for repairs. Photos were taken and forwarded to IT.

The operator of the vehicle had fled the scene prior to our arrival. The registered owner is Orlin R. Aguilar. Inside the vehicle were 'Five Star Moving' logs indicating that Aguilar works at 95 Adams St. The route Aguilar would take home from his employer's address to his house in Chelsea would take him past the crash location.

While en route the reporting party stated the vehicle had left the scene. On my arrival I spoke with the R/P who stated while riding his bike down Newtonville Ave he observed a black colored landscaping pickup truck back out of Pillion Court onto Newtonville Ave and hit a fire hydrant across the Street. Its possible the driver never knew he struck the hydrant. The R/P never saw the driver or the license plate number. Fire department and water department were notified and were responding.

On Sunday July 5, 2020 at approx. 0940 hours I responded to 225 Harvard Cir.for a report of a past hit/run that occurred in the area of 137 Comm Ave between the Saturday July 4, 20202, 2330 hours - Sunday July 5, 2020 at 0800 hours. Upon arrival I spoke with the RP Alison Leav, she stated she parked her vehicle in the area of 137 Comm Ave around 2000 hours on Saturday July 4, 2020. She stated she observed her vehicle again around 2300 hours with no damage, and this morning at approx. 0800 observed the driver side of her vehicle had been side swiped from the rear bumper to the front fender. She also showed me a broken piece of a vehicle that was involved in the crash. I observed damage on the driver side rear quarter/bumper along the whole driver side to the front fender including the both left side wheels. I looked at the broken piece belonging to the other vehicle. The color appeared to be blue and was consistent with the color on the damaged left side of the vehicle. The broken piece appeared to be a right side mirror with a writing inside the part " RH - 75854 >ABS< CAV 4. I Google the part and may come back to a 1997-2005 Chevy Cavalier. I took pictures of the part that will be downloaded at the I.T. Bureau. No injuries and party was advised of the process.

The owner of MV#1 stated she came out of work at NWH at 0730hrs and noticed the passenger front of her vehicle was damaged. She stated that she parked her vehicle in the that space at 2330hrs the night before. I observed significant damage to the passenger front of the vehicle. It should be noted that I did not observe and parts on the ground or any debris indicating that the accident occurred in that location. The headlight was totally shattered out and there were missing parts from vehicle. There was also a fluid trail that appeared to be leaking from the front passenger side. This trail indicated that the vehicle was driven and backed in to the parking space after the collision took place. Based on my training and experience I do not believe that vehicle was struck in that location as a hit and run. There were no cameras in the area. The owner requested her own tow for the vehicle. I submitted a photo of the claimed hit and run scene to the IT bureau and it was attached to this accident report.

The city vehicle was struck when the operator was inside the store and the other unknown vehicle left the scene. The CVS parking lot is a thru-way for the public to access and park for the store. The weather at the time was partly cloudy and the road conditions were dry. On arrival, I met the driver of the city vehicle identified as William Bertrand (MA D/L# S24973075). The vehicle is a 2016 Ford Escape color black with MA registration # M2534A and is labeled as vehicle number 304. Mr. Bertrand stated he was parked in the lot and went inside the store. The Escape was parked in the seventh spot in from the parking stalls closet to the entrance of the store.

I observed numerous scrape marks to that mentioned area and I took digital photos of the damage. I also observed two small specks of paint on the damaged area that were a bluish gray type of color from the suspect vehicle. It appears that due to the scrape marks that the unknown vehicle was pulling in to the parking space to the left of the city vehicle. As it was pulling in, it struck the city vehicle with it's front passenger quarter panel area. I spoke to Nick (CVS manager) on the phone and was inquiring about possible surveillance footage of the lot. He stated that he didn't believe the cameras cover that area of the lot but he would look for any possible footage and notify me if so.

MV1 was traveling Southbound while MV2 traveled Northbound on Lowell Ave. Around the intersection of Foster St at Lowell Ave, MV2 hit MV1's driver's side mirror with their driver's side mirror. MV1 side mirror was smashed and glass was inside the vehicle and the operator came in contact with some of the glass due to the driver's side window being open during the time of the collision. MV1 operator, John Mole, spoke with me at his residence after the accident because the operator of MV2 drove away from the scene without giving their information. MV1 operator had some dried blood on his left hand and left leg from the glass of the side mirror but refused medical treatment. He stated that after the crash, both MVs pulled to the side and operator of MV2 came out and said he didnt have his license and said he was in a hurry for an appointment and drove off.

However Harteln informed me the camera did not pick up Malloy's vehicle being struck. I provided Harteln with my department email and advised her to send me the footage from her ring camera. I canvassed the neighborhood and was unable to find any other cameras near 45 William Street.

There is also a one way driveway near the main entrance of the school with parking stalls and parents can drop their children off there on the right side of the driveway. The driveway then leads back out to Brandeis Road. Right after you exit the lot there is the above mentioned crosswalk to the left of the driveway which is very visible with nothing obstructing your view. On arrival, I spoke to the Dean of the school named Charlie Myette. Mr. Myette brought me to his office and started looking at the school's video surveillance system. He also requested that the student/pedestrian involved to report to his office. The student was identified as Tsukasa Iinishi. I asked Mr. Iinishi what had occurred and he stated that he was walking to school on the morning of 10/15/21. He says that he was wearing a pink hoody sweatshirt with gray shorts. He was walking through the woods which is across the street from the school which exit out to Brandeis Road. He says that he waited at the crosswalk and let two vehicles go westbound by him. He then thought it was clear to proceed and started walking. At the tail end of the crosswalk he was struck by a red colored Toyota Prius which exited left from the driveway and was on the left side of the roadway. He was struck on the left side of his body and he says that he used his left hand to brace himself against the hood and that's when the Prius stopped. He says that the operator of the Prius asked him if he was okay and he replied that he was. He then kept walking toward the school. The operator then continued on it's way without providing any information or notifying us. He described the operator as an Asian female with black hair approximately 40 to 50 yrs in age. During this time, Mr. Myette was able to find surveillance video of the crash. There are two camera angles. One shows the driveway along with the walkway of the school building. The other one shows the same but it also overlooks out in to Brandeis Road. The view of the road is partially blocked from the parked cars in the lot. The video shows a red colored Toyota Prius pull in to the driveway of the school. An Asian female student wearing a white long sleeve shirt with green lettering and dark colored jeans exits the passenger front of the Prius and eventually enters the school. The Prius then pulls out and goes toward the left side of the driveway around other vehicles waiting to exit. At 08:27 hours, the Prius pulls out angling towards the left side of the driveway going around other vehicles waiting to exit. The Prius then exits the lot on the left side (wrong side) of the roadway and makes contact with the pedestrian. In the video you cannot see the front hood area of the car, but you see Iinishi's torso bend towards the vehicle on impact. It shows the Prius stopped there for approximately ten seconds and then it drives away. In the video you are not able to see the registration plate number. Mr. Myette is going to send the photo of the student dropped off in the Prius to his staff to have her identified so I can follow up with the operator. On 10/21/21, I received an email from Mr. Myette stating that some of his staff has not come forward on the identification of the student. He stated that he would now send a message out to a larger group of staff to see if he gets a response. He also attempted to enhance the registration plate using the surveillance software but the plate is still too blurry to make out. On 10/25/21 at approximately 08:40 hours, I went over to Newton South High School to see if I could locate the red Toyota Prius involved in the crash. As I was driving on Olde Field Road approaching Brandeis Road near the school, I observed a red Prius approximately four cars ahead of me in heavy school traffic. Eventually, I observed the Prius pull in to the drop off driveway of the school and drop an Asian female student off. I identified her as the same student that got out of Prius prior to the past accident on 10/15/21. The operator was an Asian female which appeared to be in her late forties. After, the Prius exits the lot on to Brandeis Road and I flagged her down. I had her pull in to the parking lot across the street from the school. I asked her if she was involved in a accident with a student on the morning of 10/15/21 to which she replied that she was. She was identified as Xiaojin Liu through her MA Driver's License # S49033927. She was operating a 2010 Toyota Prius bearing MA reg.# 8JY630. I asked her what occurred and she stated that she was exiting the driveway of the school to turn left on to Brandeis Road. She says that she has a habit to think that no one is ever walking through the crosswalk and thought it was clear to proceed. She turned and then saw the student crossing and attempted to stop but was not able to in time. She then bumped the student with the front of her vehicle. She says that she stopped and asked the student if he was ok several times and he stated that he was. The student then walked away and she says that she did not know what else to do. I advised her that she should of gave her information to the student, notify the school, or call us to which she understood. I issued MA Uniform Citation # 172129AB to Ms. Liu for Ch. 90/24/A Leaving the scene of personal injury. After, I went inside the school and notified Mr. Myette of my findings. I asked him for the surveillance footage as I previously did in person and through email. He stated that he would put the video on a zip drive and notify me.

I responded to 234 Langley Road for a two car M/V crash with entrapment. Upon arrival with other officers, Fire, and medics I saw the following. MV1 was flipped over on the road way and the operator was still in the vehicle, but the passenger was outside the vehicle. MV1 Hit a parked MV2 unoccupied. MV1 was traveling north on Langley Rd when MV1 swerved to its right and made contact with the left rear bumper of the MV 2. The impact of the two MV's caused MV1 to flip over and land on its roof. Based on my observation the scene indicated : day light, clear and there were no road defects. I took numerous pictures which were submitted to IT bureau so they can be attached to this report. Both MV1 driver and passenger were taken to Beth Israel Hospital in Boston. Tody's arrived on scene and took possession of both MV's. A canvas of the area resulted with one neighbor at 255 Langley who witnessed the accident. Mr. Vish Showdhary stated that he saw MV1 driving on Langley Rd when MV1 crashed into the parked MV. He stated that there were no other vehicles on the road and that MV1 drove right into the parked vehicle. The scene was cleaned and I went to Beth Israel Hospital to speak with the operator and passengers of MV1. The operator of MV1 stated that they have no recollection of what happened. She stated that she does not know how she hit the parked MV and that the last thing she remembers is being pulled out of the rolled over MV by the Fire Department. The passenger in MV1 stated that he does not remember how the crash occurred. He stated that he was unsure how MV1 crashed into MV2. He stated thathe was able to get out of the MV without a problem. After a review of the crash I am citing MV1 with the following. M.G.L 89/4A Marked lanes and M.G.L 90/24E Negligent Operation.(Citation # 1445881) Furthermore a request for immediate threat license revocation was filled and submitted to the RMV.

At approximately 0214 hours on November 6, 2021, Officer Guarino and I, Officer Joyce were dispatched to 219 Commonwealth Ave for a report of a hit and run. I spoke to the driver of MV1 who said he was sitting in the drivers seat of his car when the driver of MV2 struck his vehicle from behind. The driver of MV1 then got out of his vehicle and took a video of MV2 before it fled the scene. MV 2 took a right onto Manet Rd and crashed into a city pole and sign. Photographs were taken of the city property and submitted to IT to be attached to the report. The driver of MV1 emailed me a copy of the video he captured, which was forwarded to IT to be attached to this report. Officer Guarino and I noticed multiple pieces of MV2 on the ground around MV1. Other officers searched the area for MV2 but were unsuccessful.

On Friday 11/19/21 at approximately 0938 hours while assigned to marked unit n497 I was dispatched to the area of 1256 Commonwealth Ave for a report of a past Hit and Run. Upon arrival in front of 1256 and 1270 Commonwealth Ave across the street on the Westbound side I observed a concrete light post broken at the base and laying in the Grass median between Commonwealth Ave and the Carriage Rd. The light pole had an electric wire attached to it that connected at utility pole 102/180. On the grassy area was several pieces of debris from the vehicle causing the damage, including what appeared to be an empty steel liquid storage container, possibly gas. there was no evidence of any sort of spill so the container may have been empty upon impact. After canvassing the area for evidence related to the vehicle involved I spoke with the resident at 1270 Commonwealth Ave, BLAKELY Thomas. Thomas states he heard a loud crash at approximately 0300am, but wasn't sure what it was. I noticed cameras on his home and asked if we could view the video. Video showed the vehicle impacting the pole and spinning out and then continuing Westbound on Commonwealth Ave Thomas emailed the video to me and Ofc Drew Vello. After returning to Newton Police Headquarters Ofc. Vello and I viewed the video and at 0300 hours a Tow Truck is seen veering off the road travelling Westbound on Commonwealth Ave and striking the light pole. Tow Truck spins sideways in the grass, and then continues Westbound on Commonwealth Ave. As the truck gets back on Commonwealth Ave there is lettering visible on the drivers side door, but Ofc Vello and I were unable to make out what the lettering says. I also took 7 photos of the area of the crash and emailed them to Officer Vello to attach to this report. Eversource and the City were notified to attend to the light pole, wires and debris.

On Sunday November 21st at approx. 1720 Hrs. I responded to 191 Jackson Rd for a motor vehicle accident roll over with entrapment.

MV1 had major damage all around the vehicle and all airbags deployed. MV2 had major damage to the rear and to the left side of the MV. Due to the extensive damage and length of travel of MV1 it was estimated that MV1 was traveling at a speed greater than 35 MPH. Speed limit for Jackson Rd is 25 MPH.

I observed the vehicle turn on and a short time later a white Chev pick-up drive by. MV1 suffered damage to the left rear of the vehicle. Due to the low quality picture, I could not see the license plate of MV2. I canvassed the area and found two cameras that were not recording at the time. MV2 did not stop and leave their information. Unable to find an involved vehicle.
