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 1/19/19 I responded to 25 Normandy Rd for a report of a past hit and run. I spoke with the Operator of MV#1 who stated the accident had taken place in front of Tom's Pizza, 423 Lexington St, at approximately 1830 hrs. Operator of MV#1 stated she parked her vehicle in a parking spot directly in front of the restaurant and went inside. When she returned approximately 5 minutes later she realized her vehicle had been rear ended. Two witnesses provided her with information about the accident and the plate number. (See witness narratives.) MV#1 suffered moderate damage to the rear and was driven from the scene. Waltham PD responded to the address listed for MV#2 and were not able to locate the vehicle. At approximately 2000 hrs, I was contacted at the police station by the owner of MV#2's wife. After further investigation (see incident report #19002425) it was determined that the operator of MV#2 at the time of the accident was the vehicle owner's brother. I spoke with Operator of MV#2 on the phone and he stated that the road was icy and slippery due to snow and he crashed into the back of MV#1. He stated he was nervous and thought he had only hit the sidewalk curb. Operator of MV#2 was issued citation T1440626 by mail for 90/24C Leaving the Scene of Property Damage, 90/10A Unlicensed Operation and 90/24 Use of MV Without Authority. He stated the vehicle suffered minor damage to the front.

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.

On 01/22/19 at approximately 14:25 I responded to Winchester St near Curtis St. for a report of a hit and run accident. Upon arrival I spoke with the operator of veh #1 who stated he was driving due West bound on Winchester St when a truck (White 3/4 Ton Pick up with plow in front and sander in back) turned left onto Winchester St from Boylston St. Veh #2 caught his plow on the drivers side rear passenger door and rear quarter panel of veh #1. The crash pushed veh #1 into the opposite lane for a moment until he could turn back onto his side. The operator of veh #2 pulled over and got out and said "you didn't see me?" and got back into his truck and took off down Winchester St West bound. The operator of veh #2 is described as a Hispanic male 18-25yrs old, 5-8'-5'11", lean build, clean shaven, yellow jacket with black hair. No license plate was ever obtained. Veh #1 was towed by Todys Towing and owner of veh #1 was given a ride home to Needham.

The operator of MV#1 stated that she was backing out of a parking spot in the Star Market Parking lot, #2040 Commonwealth Ave when she was involved in a MV crash. Operator #1 stated that she and the other operator both exited their MV's and even though there was obvious damage to MV#1, the operator of MV#2 refused to provide any information, got back into his MV and left the area. Operator #1 describes MV#2 as a large yellow backhoe that did not display a MV plate and she didn't observe a company name anywhere on the MV. The operator id described as W/M, approx. 40 YOA with brown hair. There is a backhoe type MV presently in the Star Market parking lot and operator #1 stated that is not the other MV involved. I also spoke with a Star Market manager who will view their exterior video footage of the parking area and notify me if it provides any information.

On January 25, 2019 at approximately 17:46 I responded to a motor vehicle hit and run. It was reported that a white pick-up truck crashed into a parked car and left the scene. I checked the area and was unable to find a vehicle matching the description. I responded to the crash location and spoke with the owner of MV1, who was not with his vehicle when it was struck. 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.

On 01/28/2019 Karen Griffin came into NPD Headquarters to report the following. Griffin states that on 01/17/2019 her vehicle (V1) was parked in a parking space in the lower parking lot of Wegman's 200 Boylston Street. Griffin states that V1 was backed into a parking stall near the entrance of the parking garage. Griffin states that between 1015 and 1130hrs V1 was stuck by an unknown motor vehicle (V2). V2 left the scene without leaving leaving their information. At the time of the collision V1 was parked and unoccupied. As a result of the impact V1 sustained minor damage to the passenger side front bumper. Griffin states that an employee of Wegman's witnessed the crash and described V2 as a Gray Honda Accord with a possible Maryland Reg JNK824. I conducted an RMV check of V@ registration with negative results. At this time the identity of V2 is unknown. No injuries were reported. Griffin stated she did not report the crash to the police until instructed to do so by her insurance company.

Hersh stated his company does fulfillment deliveries for Amazon. Hersh was advised that a vehicle registered to his company was allegedly involved in a hit and run accident. Hersh was provided information on the vehicle involved. Hersh stated an employee named Alexis was operating MA CON:T65665 on the date of the accident and provided a phone number for this party. On Tuesday, February 5, 2019 I spoke with Alexis Laporte-Soto (S84358654). Laporte-Soto stated he was operating a 2017 Mercedes Sprint van (MA CON:T65665) in Newton for Metrowest Packaging on the date of the accident. I explained to Laporte-Soto the vehicle he was operating was alleged to have been involved in a hit and run accident on Highland Street in Newton. Highland Street is a public way maintained by the City of Newton. Laporte-Soto stated the vehicle he was operating hit the driver door mirror of a parked card on Highland Street.

Laporte-Soto also stated a "random guy" took a picture of his license plate. Laporte-Soto stated he said "hi" to this party but the party ignored him and left the area. I asked Laporte-Soto why he did not call Newton Police to assist him in finding the owner of the vehicle he hit. Laporte-Soto stated he didn't know. I also advised Laporte-Soto that the name of the owner of the vehicle he hit was printed on the driver side door next. The owner's phone number and email address were also printed on the driver door. Laporte-Soto stated he didn't see that. I spoke with the owner of MV1, Jason Correria.

On Sunday, February 3rd 2019, at approximately 11:45pm, I, Officer Brooks, responded to a single car MVA at the intersection of River street and Auburndale avenue. 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.

On 3/1/19 while working N493, myself and N492 Officer Selig were sent to the area of 1354 Washington St for a motor vehicle accident with reported injuries. On arrival, I spoke to Matthew Digregorio DOB7/2/74 ( hereby referred to as operator #1) who was standing on the sidewalk next to MA reg 134TR9 (vehicle #1 ). Vehicle #1 had significant damage to the front and right quarter panels. It was straddled between the travel lanes and did not have the keys in the ignition. It was immediately apparent that operator #1 suffered an injury to his head, as there was a moderate amount of blood and small pieces of glass stuck in his forehead area. I observed operator #1 to be unsteady on his feet, have bloodshot eyes and slurred speech. I could detect a moderate odor of alchoholic beverage coming from operator #1 as I was approaching him, which was apparent from about an arms length away (it should be noted that medics were already en route to the scene at this time). Prior to the medics arrival, I asked operator #1 for a brief synopsis of what transpired. Operator #1 stated that he had just left Paddy's Pub and was driving westbound on Hunter St (which is approximately 1/8 mile from our location) when he collided head on with vehicle #2. Vehicle #2 was not immediately visible upon police arrival, however was pointed out as being located at the intersection of Hunter and Putnam St. I asked operator #1 where he was heading, as Hunter St is a back road not directly in the vicinity of Paddy's. Operator #1 could not answer the question and also remained silent when I asked him how much alcohol he had consumed this evening. At this time the medics arrived on scene. I asked operator #1 for the car keys to reliquish to the tow truck operator, which is standard operating practice. Operator #1 reached into his pocket and then provided me with the keys. Due to concern over operator #1's obvious head trauma, he was then transported to NWH to be evaluated while the investigation continued on scene. Two other parties approached myself and Officer Selig. One was the operator of vehicle #2, MA reg 1RD999. Operator #2 is identified as Luke Ferdinands DOB 5/11/80. The other party who approached is identified as Douglas Dasilva-Pimenta DOB 6/2/86 (Dasilva-Pimenta will now be referred to as operator #3). Operator #2 states that he was taking a right onto Hunter St from Putnam St, when he observed vehicle #1 on the wrong side of the road approaching him head on. Operator #2 states vehicle #1 then collided head on with him, took a right onto Putnam St, and continued onto the Washington St overpass near 1354 Washington St. Operator #3 states he was inside of #5 Hunter St when he heard a loud crash coming from outside. He looked out the window and saw vehicle #1 traveling at a high rate of speed on Hunter St towards Putnam St. Operator #3 observed damage to the right side of his parked vehicle (now referred to as vehicle #3) MA reg 7CAK80. He immediately got in his vehicle and proceeded to follow vehicle #1, which then crashed into vehicle #2 head on. Operator #1 did not stop until it was obvious that operator #3 was following close behind. This ultimately landed vehicle #1 at it's final location near 1354 Washington St. Vehicle #1 and vehicle #2 were not driveable and were towed to Tody's. It should be noted that there was a passenger in vehicle #2 at the time of the collision. Airbags were deployed and medics checked out both operator and passenger. Both declined transport. The passenger is identified as Elizabeth Ferdinands DOB 5/22/53.Ferdinands' version of events coincide with that of operator #2. Upon speaking with Officer Selig it was learned that operator #1 dropped his cell phone several times as he was holding it on scene. Both Officer Selig and operators #2 and #3 observed this. Operators #2 and #3 both expressed concern over the obvious odor of alcohol eminating from operator #1, and the fact that he was unsteady on his feet. I responded to NWH to follow up with operator #1 however he did not wish to speak further. He did express concern over the well being of all parties involved. Operator #1 was issued in hand the following citations: T1268426 - 90/24 OUI Alcohol, 90/24 Leaving the Scene (property damage, vehicle #2), and 90/24 Leaving the Scene (property damage, vehicle #3). T1268425 - 89/4a Marked Lanes violation. T1269216 - 90/24 Negligent Operation of a M/V (mailed after consultation with superiors) All streets mentioned are public ways in the City of Newton. 1354 Washington St will be the address used on this report and subsequent citations due to multiple locations being involved. Citations and paperwork have been placed in the prosecutor's mailbox. An immediate threat form has been filled out and faxed to Mass DOT. *Attention Police Prosecutor for blood work subpoena, if applicable*

The operator of MV#1 stated she was travelling southbound on Walnut St at the intersection of Elm Rd when she let a vehicle out of Elm Rd to make a left turn. The operator of MV#1 stated she proceeded to move forward when a school bus directly behind that vehicle also made a left turn making contact with MV#1. The operator of MV#1 honked her horn to get the school bus's attention with negative results. MV#1 sustained minor damages to its driver's side front bumper and fog light. The damage to the school bus should be to its driver's side rear bumper. There were no reported injuries to the operator of MV#1. There were no reports of any contracted school bus operators reporting an accident. The operator of MV#1 stated there were witnesses at the accident scene but she did not get any of their information. The operator of MV#1 was advised to contact her insurance provider.

Operator of MV1 states she parked her vehicle on the street in front of 135 Winchester Street at approximately 8:00pm and when she came out to her vehicle at 1:28am there was damage to the front left fender and tire. No witnesses to the accident. MV1 was disabled due to the damage and towed by Tody's. UPDATE: On 03/10/2019, Timothy Grady came to the Newton Police Station to report he hit a vehicle on Winchester Street. He stated he thought he hit snow, but with the damage on the front right he realized he hit another vehilce and wanted to report it. Grady's statements (date, time, and location) matched with this hit and run. Grady was advised of the process.

The owner of MV#1 stated he parked his vehicle in the parking lot of 30 Tower Rd and went inside the store to shop. He returned to his vehicle and discovered that the front and rear passenger side doors had been damaged. The owner of MV#1 stated he went back into the store in hopes to view surveillance videos of the accident but came up with negative results.

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.

On 03/20/19 at 09:43 hours, I responded to the Avalon Apartments at Newton Highlands located at 99 Needham Street for a past hit and run that occurred at the east end garage exit on 03/19/19 at 14:10 hours. I spoke to Senior Community Manager Karen Schueler who showed me video surveillance footage from yesterday's accident. In the video, you can see a blue Subaru Forester attempting to exit the east end of the garage to the property. The operator of the Subaru is identified by Ms. Schueler as a resident of the building as Gertrude Weinstein. After Weinstein scans her garage pass to exit, she then over steers towards the right and strikes the overhead garage door opening device. She then continues to exit the garage scraping the entire passenger side of her car along the device that is attached to the wall. I viewed the garage door and there was significant damage as it became detached from the wall. The door had to be placed out of service. After I spoke to Ms. Weinstein who admitted to striking the side of the garage door but only thought there was damage to her vehicle.

ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT VEHICLE #2 WERE UNSUCCESSFUL. WILL TRY AGAIN ON NEXT SHIFT. VEHICLE #1 ADVISED TO CONTACT HIS INSURANCE COMPANY. ON 4-3-19 AT APPROX 1400HRS. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE CONTACT WITH THE OPERATOR OF VEHICLE #2 ( MARJORIE TEMPLE ). OPERATOR EXPLAINED TO ME THAT SHE WAS TRYING TO GET IN THE RIGHT LANE FOR THE WOODLAND PARKING GARAGE AND DID NOT SEE VEHICLE #1 BECAUSE HE WAS IN HER BLIND SPOT. SHE STATED SHE PULLED OVER AND CHECKED HER VEHICLE AND SAW NO DAMAGE. OPERATOR STATES AS AN ELDERLY FEMALE WHEN A YOUNG MALE, 6'5" TALL GETS OUT OF HIS VEHICLE ANGRY I WASN'T GOING TO CONFRONT HIM.

THE REPORTING PERSON IDENTIFIED AS LANLANLIU STATED SHE DROVE HER HUSBANDS CAR TO WORK AND PARKED HER VEHICLE IN A LEGAL PARKING SPOT ACROSS FROM 335 AUBURN STREET AREA FACING EASTBOUND AROUND 12:00 PM. AT APPROXIMATELY 1:30PM LIU CAME OUT TO HER VEHICLE AND OBSERVED A LARGE DENT ON HER DRIVERS SIDE. IT APPEARS AS IF ANOTHER MV BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE BACKED INTO HER AND LEFT THE SCENE WITHOUT LEAVING THEIR INFORMATION. I CHECKED WITH EMPLOYEES INSIDE THE VILLAGE BANK TO SEE IF THEIR SURVEILLANCE CAMERA OUTSIDE THE FRONT DOORS CAPTURED THE ACCIDENT, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF VIEW. I WAS TOLD BY ONE OF THE EMPLOYEES THAT SOMEBODY FROM THE SECOND FLOOR OBSERVED A BLACK PICKUP TRUCK BACK UP INTO THE RP'S VEHICLE BUT DIDNT'T GET A PLATE NUMBER OR A DESCRIPTION OF THE DRIVER.

The owner of MV#1 states that he returned to his unoccupied MV to find a note from a witness stating they observed another MV strike his MV while they were attempting to park in the parking spot to the left of MV#1. Witness identified MV#2 as Ma Reg 1705XY, a Honda CRV. Witness states he observed an older W/M operating Ma. Reg. 1705XY (MV#2) attempt to park in a parking spot while striking MV#1 and then quickly exit the spot. Witness feels confident operator of MV#2 knew he struck MV#1. I then spoke with operator/owner of MV#2 who admitted he was operating MV#2 during minor crash, but didn't think it was significant so he left the area. Operator #2 cited for leaving the scene of a MV crash.

MV#1 stated while traveling Southbound on Centre St in the left turn lane at the intersection of Centre and Commonwealth ave. He stated he was at a complete stop waiting to turn left on to Commonwealth ave. He stated MV#2 was in the right lane adjasent to his vehicle when it took a sudden left turn on to Commonwealth Ave striking MV#1 in the right rear side oh his vehicle with the front left end of MV#2. He stated MV#2 then continued to drive behind him Eastbound on Commonwealth ave. MV#1 stopped on Read CT to evaluate the damage at which point MV#2 kept driving. MV#1 stated the car traveling behind MV#2 witnessed the incident and gatherd the plate information. The witness was not on scene upon my arrival nor did MV#1 gather their information. Newton Dispatch ran MA Reg 7EW346. The plate came back to a Black Honda Civic 2005 matching MV#1's description of the vehicle. The owner of the Civic was listed out of Brighton. I followed up at 78R Foster St Brighton, Upon arrival I noticed a black Civic matching the plate and description. The Civic had damage to the front end and damage to the back right side. I spoke with owner of the vehicle that stated he had not been driving today and had been at home. He did not know who was operating the vehicle at the time. Speaking with Medina the owner of MV#2 there was a significant language barrier issue. I will not be charging owner of MV#2 due to the vehicle damage not being consistent with MV#1 statements, as well as proof of operation. MV#1 was not towed. Operator of MV#1 stated he did not sustain any injuries at this time. Owner of MV#2 did not have any injuries to him consistent with being in a MV accident.

On 3/25/19 the owner of vehicle #1 reports that on 3/24/19 while his wife was at work at the Village Bank his vehicle was hit by an unknown vehicle causing damage to the front grill. His wife is attempting to get video of the accident from the Village Bank security cameras. She will contact NPD Traffic Bureau if they are able to get video of incident.

MV1 was parallel parked in front of Bank of America on Walnut St when he began to pull out, MV2, ( suspected to be MA Reg:8WX995) hit MV1 on his driver's side door. MV2 backed up in the road and then sped off without stopping to give his information. MV1 operator, Marcus Klevan, came into the police station to report this hit and run which occurred around 1430hrs today. MV1 operator and passenger were able to identify the license plate of the vehicle as it left the scene. The plate came back to a 1997 Toyota Tercel, blue, registered to John Twinomujuni out of Waltham. Waltham PD was notified and was unable to locate the vehicle at this time. UPDATE: Waltham PD was requested to check again for this vehicle at it's registered address tonight, 5/1/2019. This check resulted in negative results for the vehicle. No citation will be issued at this time until there is verification that this vehicle was indeed involved in this accident.

Owner of MV1 states his vehicle was backed into a parking spot at the JCC, 333 Nahanton St. Sometime between 0720 to 0815 his vehicle was struck on the drivers side bumper (minor damage). There was possibly some white paint transfer however it was cleaned off prior to my arrival. I contacted the JCC, they stated they may have cameras, however the only person that can access them is not working (617 558 6552 - Brian Morris). There were no witnesses to the accident and it was not reported until later in the day.

Witness 1 stated that vehicle 1 was travelling northbound on Nahanton St. Vehicle 1 made a left hand turn, westbound onto Winchester St. During the turn the right side of vehicle 1 made contact with the crosswalk signal post. I observed the post to be leaning due to the impact. The witness was unable to get a plate number, but was able to tell me that it was a commercial truck with a California registration. Dispatcher Brunelle notified Dagle to fix the light post. Photos were taken of the pole, and submitted to the IT bureau.

The operator of MV#1 stated that prior to the crash she was traveling north on Rowe St. Operator #1 came to the intersection at Webster St, stopped and observed no other cars at the intersection and proceeded straight thru the intersection. While in the intersection, operator #1 observed MV#2 traveling west on Webster St travel thru the stop sign without stopping and strike her MV. MV#2 did not stop, but instead continued on Webster St towards Auburndale Square. Operator #1 describes MV#2 as a gold sedan being operated by a 55-70 year old female wearing large sunglasses. A search of the area was negative.

Operator of MV1 (Ma Reg 35T230) stated she was exiting the JCC parking lot, turning right onto Nahanton Street when a black SUV (No further description was provided), came around the corner, heading Southbound on Nahanton Street when MV2 (Black SUV) struck MV1's driver side front bumper. Operator of MV1 stated MV2 was traveling at a speed greater than it should around the corner prior to striking her vehicle. Operator of MV1 stated she got out of her vehicle to check on the damage and saw MV2 stopped further down the road. When she got back into her vehicle to meet with the operator of MV2, the vehicle was no longer there. No direction of travel of provided. Operator of MV1 and her daughter were not injured. There was minor damage to the front driver side bumper of MV1. I spoke with the JCC Facility Manager, Brian Morris (617-775-1719) who stated he will check the cameras to see if the cameras recorded the accident. I provided Mr. Morris with the time of the accident and my name and advised him to contact NPD if he has any information to provide. Prior to clearing, I canvassed the area for the vehicle with the description provided, yielding negative results.

On 05/10/19 I met with Luiz A. Lopes who stated his vehicle ( Mass Commercial Reg# T83695 White Toyota Tacoma P/ U) was struck while parked in the lot around 07:00. Lopes said he didn't call the Police right away because he wasn't sure his car was struck there. The truck sustained a cracked front bumper and the fog light was popped out. We went inside of National Lumber and spoke with a manager who said he would contact G.M. Greg Assarian and have him look at the security footage. On 05/14/19 at approximately 14:00 the Police Station received a call from Lopes who just got off the phone with Assarian who found some security footage of the incident. 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.

THIS MORNING WHEN HE CAME OUT TO HIS CAR HE NOTICED THAT HIS DRIVERS SIDE HAD DAMAGE CONSISTENT WITH ANOTHER CAR SIDESWIPING HIS CAR. Traffic Bureau Update (Officer Gaudet): On Thursday, June 27, 2019, I was forwarded possible video evidence from this accident by the residence of 17 Crehore Drive. The footage (capurtured by a NEST security camera affixed to the residence) shows a gray mini van (unknown make or model) traveling on Crehore Drive towards Goff Street. The vehicle takes a left turn onto Goff Street, parks, and a male party exits the vehicle and delievers a package to 16 Crehore Drive. There is no date or time associated with the video and I am unable to make out a license place number or identify the driver. I am unable to determine if this vehicle made contact with MV1.

The owner of MV#1 states that on 6/23/19 at approx. 11:30PM she heard a loud MV crash from her home. Owner was unaware which MV's were involved, but when she looked out her house window she observed a black pick up truck driving off towards Derby St. This morning she discovered that her parked and unoccupied MV was the other MV involved in the crash. MV#1 sustained heavy damage to the rear of her MV and her MV was pushed forward a few feet as a result of the crash. Owner is going to arrange for her own tow as it appears that her rear axel is broken. I searched the area for a black PU with front end damage on the passengers side with negative results.

Operator of MV#1 stated she was travelling westbound on Crafts St when MV#2 took a left hand turn in front of her causing a collision. MV#1 suffered moderate damage to the front and right side. MV#2 suffered damage to the passenger side. Both operators exited the vehicles and agreed to move out of the roadway, park and exchange information. Operator of MV#2 then left the scene without providing any information. Operator of MV#1 responded to the station to report the accident. Operator of MV#2 was described as an older white woman possibly in her late 60s early 70s driving a white sedan. No further description or plate given. No cameras in the area.

On 06/28/2019, while assigned to West Newton, I, Officer Conary, met with Owner of MV1 for a report of a past hit and run accident.

There was a note left that stated "a green van hit your car and scraped - License plate C49807". There was no additional information. The registration comes back to a party out of Somerville MA, Frank Sarno Jr. Somerville PD was contacted to check the residence. They left a note to have Sarno call Newton Police. Investigation is still ongoing until all parties involved have been contacted.

On July 3, 2019 at approximately 00:08 hours I responded to 25 Crosby Rd for a report of a hit and run that had just occured. Upon arrival, I spoke with Nicholas Giamalis who reported that he heard a bang and went outside and observed damage to MV1's left rear bumper. MV1 was parked facing southbound in front of 25 Crosby Rd. Nicholas said that a gray Chevy sedan driving northbound on Crosby Rd towards Commonwealth Ave. Officer Kayla Donahue canvased the area with negative results. Nicholas said that he was the last person to use the vehicle but the vehicle is owned by his father, Stephen Giamalis. Based on the travel direction of the unknown vehicle and the location of the dent, it is likely that MV1 was backed into by an unknown motor vehicle. It does not appear that anyone witnessed the actual crash and there did not appear to be any cameras in the area.

On Monday, July 15, 2019, while assigned to Traffic unit N525, I responded to the area of Beacon Street and Paulson Road, Newton, for a report of a hit and run motor vehicle accident involving a bicyclist. The weather at the time of the accident was clear and sunny. The road surface was dry. Beacon Street and Paulson Road are both public ways maintained by the City of Newton. I spoke with the injured bicyclist in front of 165 Paulson Road, Alexander Mendonez. Mendonez stated he was traveling Westbound on Beacon Street on his bicycle near Paulson Road. Mendonez stated he observed a late model gray sedan "inch to a stop" on Beacon Street (W) at Paulson Road. Mendonez stated he did not remember if the vehicle had it's right directional on at the time.

This vehicle comes back to a 2010 Volkswagon Jetta registered to Peter Giorgi (S20952090) out of Paxton, Ma. I spoke with Peter via telephone. Peter acknowledged he is the registered owner of the vehicle, but stated his daughter was using the vehicle and was in the Newton area. I spoke with Lindsey Giorgi (S35711247) via telephone. Giorgi stated she was operating MA: 7BS322 in Newton yesterday, but does not recall being in an accident. Giorgi stated she is not familiar with the area and does not know the area where the accident occurred. Giorgi stated there is no damage to her vehicle and stated she does not believe she hit anyone. Giorgi emailed me 4 photos of her vehicle where I described the damage would be. I observed a small area of minor damage to the rear passenger side door area of this vehicle. After speaking with all parties involved, I am requesting a hearing in Newton District Court for Chapter 90, Section 24 (Leaving the Scene, Personal Injury). Giorgi was advised and mailed Massachusetts Uniform Citation T1269847. All photos obtained from O'Hearne and Giorgi were submitted to the IT Bureau.

Motor Vehicle 1 (MV1) was traveling northbound on Centre St. at the intersection of Walnut St. when motor vehicle 2 (MV2), which was also traveling northbound on Centre St., attempted to go straight from the left turn only lane. MV2 then sideswiped MV1, running MV1 off the road and into the curb. The operator of MV1, Drew Brookins, stated that the operator of MV2 pulled over at first, but when traffic cleared, immediately got back into the car and left at a high rate of speed heading northbound on Centre St. Mr. Brookins attempted to follow MV2, and observed MV2 take a right onto Paul Street (eastbound), but was unable to continue to follow MV2, as MV1's front drivers side wheel was blown out as a result of colliding with the curb. MV1 sustained drivers side damage, as well as a blown out right drivers side tire. MV2 likely sustained moderated drivers side damage, and possibly damage to the rear bumper. Mr. Brookins was able to get the license plate of MV2 (MA Reg. 9LE764), which comes back to a female (Desiree Allman) out of Braintree. Mr. Brookins described the operator of MV2 as a white male with a thin build, dirty blond hair and scruffy beard. Dispatch contacted Braintree PD who was able to provide a telephone number that is believed to be Ms. Allman's. I attempted to contact Ms. Allman, however, the number went directly to voicemail. I left a message asking Ms. Allman to call the NPD so that we could find out who was operating her vehicle at the time of the crash. Traffic Bureau Update (Officer Gaudet): On August 6, 2019, I attempted to make contact with the registered owner of MV2, Desiree Allman (S85529796), with a negative result. A Hit and Run inquiry was mailed to the Allman. As of August 8, 2019, I have left several voice mails for Ms. Allman, she has not returned my calls. Ms. Allman had a hearing today in Hingham District Court. I contacted them to confirm we have her current contact information.

Operator of vehicle 1 stated she was stopped at the stop sign on Crescent St at Auburn St when she saw 2 vehicles coming eastbound stopped to let her out. As she pulled out taking a left onto Auburn St she was hit on the drivers side by another vehicle which came from the opposite direction. The operator told everyone he was pulling over then quickly took off westbound on Auburn St towards Commonwealth Ave. The passenger of vehicle 1 stated that the driver of the vehicle was a black male in his early thirties driving a green possibly 2010-2012 Jeep Cherokee with a possible CT reg# of AP1042 or AP81042. He also stated that the driver looked like someone he tried to purchase a car off of in Waltham four months ago but had no further information. Three witnesses to the accident were in the two vehicles stopped to allow vehicle 1 to pull out of Crescent St. All three parties gave the same story that vehicle 1 was almost completely out of Crescent St when the green jeep coming westbound quickly accelerated and looked as if he was going to go around her but hit he drivers side then took off westbound. The vehicle description and possible plate were given out to surrounding towns and state police. Operator of vehicle 1 was transported by Cataldo to NWH for minor injuries. Vehicle 1 was towed from the scene by Todys.

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.

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.
