MV#1 Stated while traveling westbound down Commonwealth ave he struck a patch of ice. The ice caused his vehicle to rotate 360 degrees and proceeded to slide on the roadside shoulder striking a verizon poll ( 102/285). MV#1 traveled approximately 12ft from the road before striking the poll. MV#1 sustained heavy front end damage. MV#1 had all airbags deployed and had a small fire under the front end. I observed multiple other vehicles passing having difficulties and vehicles sliding due to significant ice conditions. Driver of MV#1 had injuries to his left arm, possible broken forearm/wrist. Passenger of MV#1 stated she had chest pains. Medics transported both parties to Newton Wellesley Hospital for further evaluation. Tody's Towed the vehicle due to heavy front end damage.

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).

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*

On 03/12/2019, I responded to the area of 279 Chestnut St for two car motor vehicle accident. On arrival, I spoke with the operator of MV1 (MA Reg: 824WA6) who stated that he was driving northbound on Chestnut St when he was rear ended by MV2. I spoke with the operator of MV2 (MA Reg: 4DN621) who stated that she was travelling northbound on Chestnut St behind MV1. MV2 stated that they were in stop and go traffic and misjudged the distance and rear ended MV1. MV1 sustained moderate damage to its rear end.

On Monday March 25th, 2019 I responded to a hit and run motor vehicle accident at 115 Florence St near Louise Rd. Vehicle # 1 (Mass Reg #5TFK30 Honda Pilot operated by Sabryna Reyes) was traveling east on Florence St headed toward Route 9. According to Sabryna, Vehicle # 2 was taking a left hand turn onto Florence St from Louise Rd. Vehicle # 2 made contact with the left side of the vehicle of vehicle # 1. Vehicle # 2 drove away without staying on scene. Sabryna was unable to get a license plate of the vehicle driving away. There were no witnesses to the accident and no video cameras in the area. Sabryna described vehicle # 2 as a black honda CRV with white male passenger operator approximately in his 30s. Their were no injuries and Sabryna signed a patient refusal. Newton Fire responded because of the airbag deployment. Vehicle # 1 suffered minor damage to the left front side of the vehicle. Vehicle # 1 was towed by AAA Towing.

MV1 was traveling east on Madison Ave from Walnut St approaching #80. There were 2 landscape vehicles parked on left side of the street. The operator, Sarah Ruth Loper-Sengupta, stated that she never saw the pedestrian that was in the roadway (N) due to solar glare. Loper-Sengupta stated she heard a thump coming from the passenger side of her vehicle. Loper-Sengupta stated she looked over to her right and saw a trash barrel in the air. Loper-Sengupta stated she then saw a male party lying on the roadway on her passenger side. Immediately after striking the pedestrian, Loper-Sengupta, stopped to check on him. There was a golden doodle dog in the back seat of the MV at the time of the accident, unrestrained. There were no obstructions hanging from the mirror or windshield area. The front drivers visor was down. There was no airbag deployment. I observed significat damage to the front passenger side windshield area. There was also damage to the front passenger side hood area. See Sgt. Lee update for victim statement Numerous pictures were taken by Ofc. Gaudet of the MV and scene. They were TOT IT. The MV was towed by Tody's due to its shattered windshield. No citation will be issued to Loper-Sengupta. The solar glare caused her to not able to see the pedestrian. The Sgt. and I dont believe the pedestrian looked before crossing with the barell on his left shoulder because he would have been able to see the MV coming as this is straight away section of Madison Ave. It should be noted, that when I arrived on scene I immediately noticed the seolar glare as I walked east on Madison Ave.

MV1, operator Frank Distefano (MA Reg:55EL18; a gray 2002 Toyota Highlander) was traveling NORTH on Waltham St when believes he may have fallen asleep and collided with a Eversource utility pole 39/2 along with a city green bin (06 1021851). There was heavy damage to MV1, the utility pole and the bin. There was airbag deployment but Distefano signed a refusal when medics arrived on scene. Distefano was steady on his feet, had no odor of an alcoholic beverage emanating from his person and did not exhibit red or glassy eyes. To be certain, I asked Distefano if he would consent to a field sobriety test to which he said yes. Distefano was able to perform the tests and I made the determination that Distefano was not operating under the influence of alcohol. Distefano said that he suffers from sleep apnea and states that he gets tired during the day due to his lack of sleep and prescribed medications which often makes him fall asleep unexpectedly. MV1 was towed from the scene byTody's Towing. Frank Distefano was given in hand, MA Uniform Citation T1441775 for 89/9a Marked Lanes and 90/9 Expired Registration. Due to Distefano's inability to stay awake while operating a motor vehicle, an immediate threat was filed with the RMV. Eversource arrived on scene to remedy the utility pole for public safety.

Emery states that he got lost and ended up in the parking lot at 333 Nahanton St which is only accessible by the Jewish Community Center's access road and Nahanton Street (public way in the City of Newton). Emery then proceeded to do "doughnuts" in the muddied lot. Emery then lost control of the vehicle and struck a parked storage container causing minor damage. Both airbags were deployed. Emery does not have a license and was transported to NWH (as he is a juvenile and a parent could not sign a refusal in a reasonable time period ). He attends the Fusion Academy in Newton.

I responded to the area of 63 Pierrepoint Rd for a report of an MVA single car crash into a tree. I responded to the area at approx. 1752 hrs 09/19/2020. I was advised by NPD Dispatch that the vehicle was unoccupied and that the vehicle has been there all day according to the anonymous reporting party.. When I arrived on location I observed MA Reg. 31542 off the roadway facing westbound directly in front of a tree. This was located directly in front of the residence of 63 Pierrepont Rd. The vehicle was unoccupied with heavy front end damage and front and side airbag deployment. The windows were left 2/3 of the way open and the cars ignition key was left on the driver's seat.
