Narrative:
On January 1, 2019 at approximately 02:18 hours I, Officer Guarino, responded to 78 Vine St. for a hit and run. I spoke to the operator of MV1, who told me that he was driving Eastbound on Vine St, he turned on his left directional and began to pull into his driveway at 78 Vine St. The operator of MV 2 attempted to pass MV 1 on the left hand side crashing into MV1. MV2 put the vehicle in reverse and left the scene. The operator of MV1 said that the front bumper of MV2 had fallen off in the collision with MA License plate 4KZ917 still attached. The owner of that vehicle lives in Boston, so Boston Police were notified. I attempted to make contact with the owner of MV 2 with negative results. Update January 1, 2019 16:15 hours: I was able to contact the owner of MV2, who admitted that she was the operator of the vehicle and that she was in the vehicle alone. The operator of MV2 said that the operator of MV1 was driving very slow and stopped in the right lane so she attempted to pass the vehicle. MV1 began turning and MV2 struck MV1. The operator of MV 1 said that she was nervous and left the scene because her phone died and attempted to contact the Newton Police in the morning. I am mailing citation T1441275 to Cecelia Spangenberg for MGL90/24C, leaving the scene of property damage. Photographs of the bumper have been submitted to IT to be attached to this report. The license plate was logged into evidence and placed into property and evidence locket #8.

Narrative:
On 01/04/19 I responded outside of #54 Needham St for a two vehicle crash. Veh #1 was a delivery box van who was driving due North on Needham St. The operator of veh #1 stated he was attempting to take a left into #55 Needham St. when veh #2 came from behind him on his left and he struck veh #2 as he turned. The operator of veh # 1 was taken by Ambulance #1 to Newton-Wellesley Hospital for an evaluation after complaining of pain in his chest area. The passenger of veh #1 stated everything happened "so fast" he didn't see what transpired. Moderate damage to veh #1. The operator of veh #2 stated he was traveling due North on Needham St. and was behind veh #1 for a long stretch of the road. The operator of veh # 2 stated veh #1 put his right directional on three different times but didn't turn. He stated veh #1 had his right directional on and was in the right lane when he went to pass him. Veh #1 then turned into his rear passenger side as he passed. Moderate damage to veh # 2. The operator of veh #2 stated the operator of veh #1 was walking around and yelling about the accident for a period of time and then eventually grabbed his chest and fell to the ground complaining of pain. From the result of my investigation it appears as if veh # 1 attempted to turn from the wrong lane and veh # 2 was passing in the "suicide lane", also wrong lane. There will be no citations issued at this time as both operators were given verbal warnings.

Narrative:
On 1/5/19 at 1210hrs I was dispatched to the Pelham St Municipal Lot (public way inviting access maintained by the City of Newton) behind CVS for a report of an MVA involving several vehicles. On arrival, I observed Mv#1 MA Reg 5TWS10 with heavy front end damage wedged in between two other vehicles parked in marked spaces. #1 operator, in the driver's seat, was being evaluated by Medics. #1 was identified as Mary Jane Hymanwegscheider (10/14/38). I first made contact with a witness identified as Sharon Corliss. Ms Corliss stated she was sitting in her parked vehicle and observed Mv#1 backing out of the end spot next to CVS. She explained once #1 had came to a stop from backing, #1 then pulled forward, drove over a curb island and continued driving straight into the two parked vehicles. Ms Corliss stated it appeared #1 was travelling about 5mph preceeding the crash. After the medics intial evaluation of Ms Hymanwegscheider, I was able to ask her what happened? She stated she backed out of her space, hit the curb going forward and then put her foot on the gas instead of the brake before the collision. She was deliberate when speaking and appeared confused. She reported to medics she had no medical history and was not using any medications including allergy medication as well. She reported she did not hit her head after the collision. She was then transported to NWH for further evaluation after medics discovered her blood/sugar readings were very low. I advised Ms Hymanwegscheider her vehicle had heavy damage and was being towed by Tody's and to expect paperwork at the conclusion of the crash investigation. It appeared #1 struck Mv#2 first on its driver's side rear before striking Mv#3 parked next to it on the passenger side rear. #1 wedged itself between #2 and #3, #3 was then pushed to the left into the passenger side of Mv#4. #2 and #3 sustained heavy rear end damage. #4 sustained light damage. #1 towed by Tody's with heavy front end damage. #2 arranged for her own tow through her insurance company. A note was left on #3, and #4 was able to be driven from the scene. Ms Hymanwegscheider is showing no MV infraction/no accident history. Based on the totality of all information received as a result of this investigation, I will be issuing a citation (#T0340410) to Ms Hymanwegscheider for Ch90/Sec24, Negligent Operation.

Narrative:
On Saturday, January 12th 2019, at approximately 4:12pm, I, Officer Brooks, responded to a single vehicle accident in the area of Cherry street and Derby street, both of which are public ways in the city of Newton. Upon arrival in the area I observed the fire department off with MV1(MA REG 9PAK20), in front of 171 Cherry street. The vehicle had a fire hydrant lodged under the front axle, and front end damage. The fire department was attempting to wake the operator who was unresponsive. The fire department ended up administering 2 doses of Narcan to the operator before he became responsive. The operator was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital by Cataldo for further evaluation. Based on the accident scene, it appears the operator was traveling southbound on Cherry street, crossed over the center line into oncoming traffic, striking the fire hydrant in front of 154 Cherry street, and then crossed back over into the correct lane of traffic before coming to rest in front of 171 Cherry street. The vehicle was towed by Tody's towing, and an inventory form was filled out and filed. The operator was mailed MA Uniform Citations T0648078 and T0648079 charging him with MGL 89/4A Marked Lanes violation, 90/24 OUI Drugs, 90/24(2)(A) Operating to Endanger/Negligent operation, 90/11 No License in Possession, and 90/11 No Registration in Possession. Officer Donahue took pictures of the fire hydrant and crash scene, which have been submitted to the IT Bureau. The fire department was made aware of the broken hydrant.

Narrative:
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.

Narrative:
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.

Narrative:
MV1 (MA Reg: 63EP17, a 2000 Acura 32TL; operator: Carlos Standford) was traveling NORTH on Cherry St when a vehicle swirved into his lane head-on. In order to avoid MV3 he swirved into the other lane and side-swiped MV2. MV2 (MA Reg: 9JX388, a 2019 Subaru Outback; operator: James Cant) was traveling SOUTH on Cherry St when he had come to a complete stop, put his left turn signal on to show him turning left into his driveway at 176 Cherry St. He was waiting to make his turn until MV1 had driven past so it was safe to do so. As he was at a complete stop, MV1 collided with his rear driver side bumper in an effort to avoid a head on collision with MV3. MV3 (MA Reg: 93YE85; a 1997 Toyota Camry; operator Matthew Kuniholm) was traveling SOUTH on Cherry St when he had seen MV2 at a complete stop with a turn signal. He didn't give himself enough time to stop, began to slide as he was braking and went over the marked lanes into oncoming traffic in an effort to not collide with MV2. MV3 operator, Matthew Kuniholm, was issued in hand MA Uniform Citation T1440470 for Marked Lane Violation 89/9a. All vehicles were still in driveable condition. MV1 had damage to the front driveside wheel fender and driver door. MV2 had slight damage to rear driver side bumper. MV3 did not have damage to his vehicle. Weather was icy and there was an active snow fall during the time of the accident, which was 1815hrs.

Narrative:
Leary was crossing Needham St southbound at the corner of the property between Stop and Shop and Jiffy Lube. She states that she was 1/4 of the way across the street when she was struck by MV1. The left side of her body(arm, hip) struck the right side of the MV. She fell to the ground. MV1 states that he was pulling out of the Stop and Shop driveway to turn right onto Needham St. He saw the pedestrian next to the snow bank on the right side of the driveway as he approached the end of the driveway. When he got to the end he did not see her anymore and assumed she had continued walking west on Needham St. He then turned right and felt the collision and then he saw her. He immediately pulled into the Jiffy Lube lot to check on her. I took pictures of the scene and the MV. They were TOT IT. After further investigation, on 2/7 the operator was cited for 90/14 failure to stop for pedestrian. I spoke with Kenneth via phone and advised him of the update. The citation was mailed to him. I am charging for 90/14 failure to stop for a pedestrian. On Wednesday February 6, the operator information of this report was ammended to show the correct operator information.

Narrative:
On 01/31/19 at 10:39 hours, I responded to the parking lot of the Jewish Community Center located at 333 Nahanton Street for a motor vehicle hit and run accident. The parking lot is accessible to the public and designed for vehicles to travel to and from the JCC. Owner of M/V 1 states she was parked on the side of the handicapped parking stall thinking it was ok to park there. She then ran in to the JCC for approximately one minute and when she returned she observed her driver's side front door was struck. I observed significant damage to the door frame and the door would not close. The owner called for a private tow to remove the vehicle. The staff at the JCC stated that a Martha Bixby gave her number and stated that she observed a black colored car with MA reg. # 934HH4 strike M/V 1. I attempted to call the number and left a message. The listing for that plate comes back to a 2010 Lexus ES350 color gray. I was then showed the video surveillance from the JCC's cameras and it shows an older white female exiting the lobby wearing a winter hat and carrying a bag with purple flower designs on it. She then walks through the lot and enters a gray Lexus ES350. The Lexus then starts backing out of the spot. The Lexus then continues backwards in to the other side of the parking stalls and strikes M/V 1 on the driver's side front door. The Lexus then pulls forward and leaves the scene without stopping or providing her information. As the Lexus is leaving, you can see there is a dent to the driver's side rear bumper. The video is not clear enough to see the plate on the Lexus or clearly see the operator's face. After, I located a number for the owner of the Lexus M/V 2 (Tania Lefman). I spoke to Lefman on the phone and she stated that she was backing out of the JCC parking lot at that time and felt a tiny bump to her rear end. She says that she could not stop in time due to the icy parking lot and then left the area thinking that nothing was wrong, it was only minor. I advised her there was significant damage to the other car. She was issued and mailed MA Uniform Citation T1441054 for Ch. 90/24/C Leaving the scene of property damage.

OWNER REPORTS NO INJURY AND WAS ADVISED O CONTACT HIS INSURANCE COMPANY. ATTEMPTS TO MAKE CONTACT WITH THE OWNER OF VEHICLE #2 WAS UNSUCCESSFUL AT THIS TIME. FOUND A SECOND NUMBER ( 860-301-1336 ) FOR THE METROWEST PACKAGING COMPANY AND LEFT ANOTHER VOICE MAIL.WILL TRY TO MAKE CONTACT AGAIN BEFORE PURSUING OTHER OPTIONS. Traffic Bureau Update (Officer Gaudet): On Monday, February 4, 2019 I made contact with the President of Metrowest Packaging, Brian Hersh. 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 reported the accident as mirror (MV2 passenger side) to mirror (MV1 driver side). Laporte-Soto stated after his passenger side door mirror made contact with MV1's driver side door mirror, he stopped his vehicle 15 feet down the road. Laporte-Soto stated he walked up to the car he hit and saw the mirror was bent back but there was no damage. Laporte-Soto stated he waited near the car for 10 minutes and the owner never showed up. 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. Correria stated a co-worker observed the entire accident and observed MV2's passenger side mirror hit MV1's driver side mirror. Correria stated his co-worker then observed MV2 travel down Highland Street with out stopping and pull into the Santander parking lot located at 1314 Washington Street. Correria stated his co-worker saw the operator of MV2 exit his vehicle, check his passenger side door mirror for damage, and leave the area. Laporte-Soto will be mailled Massachusetts Uniform Citation T1443121 for Chapter 90, Section 24 (Leaving the scene of property damage).

Narrative:
On Wednesday, February 27, 2019 while assigned to Traffic unit N525, I responded to the area of 843 Beacon Street, Newton for a report of a 2 car motor vehicle accident. Beacon Street is a public way maintained by the City of Newton. I spoke with the operator of MV1, Omer Chaudhry (NY: 122909834). Chaudhry stated he as operating his 2015 blue Mazda 3 (NY Reg: GVJ1096) Eastbound on Beacon Street towards Centre Street. Chaudhry stated he observed MV2 exiting a parking spot on his right. As MV2 attempted to merge into traffic it's front driver side crashed into the passenger side of his vehicle. I observed damage along the passenger side of Chaudhry's vehicle from the rear passenger tire to the front passenger bumper area. Chaudhry reported no injuries at this time. I spoke with the operator of MV2, Elizabeth Libert (S75526057). Libert stated she was attempting to pulled out of a marked parking spot (E) on Beacon Street when the front driver side of her 2017 gray Mercedes E400 (MA: 1YT269) crashed into the passenger side of MV1. I observed damage to the front driver side tire area of MV2. Libert reported no injuries at this time. Libert's vehicle was removed from the roadway by Tody's towing. Libert was cited with Massachusetts Uniform Citation T1269154 for Newton City Ordinance Chapter 19, Section 75 (Failure to Use Care).

Narrative:
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*

Upon arrival it was determined there were no injuries and the two drivers signed patient refusals with the ambulance. I first spoke with the operator of MV#1 who stated he was driving northbound on Hammond St near the Chestnut Hill T station where it bends and MV#2 was coming southbound and skidded on the snow and came into his lane. I then spoke with the operator of MV#2 who stated he was driving southbound on Hammond St when his vehicle lost control around the turn and drifted into the opposite lane and struck MV#1. I issued the operator of MV#2 MA Citation T1268628 for Chapter 89/4A; Marked Lanes Violation. At the time of this accident there were heavy snow conditions. Tody's Towing responded and towed both vehicles from the scene.

Operator#1 stated she was involved in an an accident on 2/27/19 at 1436hrs in front of Mango Thai, 115 Elm St. Operator #1 stated she was stopped waiting for the red light at Elm St and Washington when a "new black or gray SUV" pulled out of a parking spot the right of her. The other vehicle sideswiped her passenger side causing a large scratch. Operator #1i stated she honked and attempted to stop the vehicle but the driver pulled away. Operator #1 was only able to identify the driver as a male but did provide me with a plate of MA Reg 9RM445. The plate comes back leased to a 2018 Gray Jeep Compass registered to a Matthew Veteto. I was unable to find any phone number for Veteto. Operator#1 has already filed a claim with her insurance company who advised her she would need a police report. Due to being unable to verify who was driving, a citation was not issued.

Narrative:
On 03/19/19 at 14:57 hours, I responded to 220 Dedham Street for a past motor vehicle hit and run accident involving a parked car that occurred at 12:26 hours on this date. Dedham Street is a public way maintained by the City of Newton. The owner of M/V # 1 states her vehicle was legally parked in front of 220 Dedham Street facing northbound when she came out and found a note from a witness saying it was struck by a gray Honda Accord bearing MA Reg. # 8512HV. It appears that the operator of M/V # 2 side swiped M/V # 1 as it was passing by on Dedham Street. I observed marks to the driver's side rear door area and the side view mirror was broken. On 03/20/19 at 08:47 hours, I spoke to the witness, Kawtar Bhih, on the phone and she stated that she was parked on the opposite side of where the accident took place. Bhih observed a gray Honda Accord with an elderly female operating M/V # 2 on Dedham Street almost side swiped another parked car before side swiping M/V # 1. She says that the vehicle slowed down after and then continued to leave the scene of the accident. She then took a photo of the above listed registration plate. I attempted to contact the owner of M/V # 2 (Jali Medical Inc Waltham, MA) and the receptionist was not able to provide any information at the time. I was told to call back the next day. I gave the vehicle and registration info to the person inquiring if they could find a possible driver and call back. While working on this report, I observed that the owner of M/V # 2 was involved in a past accident in our system and the operator at the time had an address of 66 Country Club Rd. Newton. On 03/20/19 at approx. 09:30 hours, I went over to this address and observed M/V # 2 in the driveway with an operator inside. After inquiring about the accident, she stated she was driving down Dedham Street when she heard a noise coming from her passenger side view mirror as she had struck something. She then left the scene not thinking it was serious. I observed fresh damage to her passenger side mirror along with other marks along the doors which appeared to be older. Operator was issued in hand MA Uniform Citation # T1441710 for Ch. 90/S24 Leaving the scene of property damage.

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. No citation issued as the underground garage to the building is private property and not a public way.

Narrative:
The owner of MV1 stated that he was working inside Mr. K's Discount Wine and Spirits when a witness came into the store and asked if he owned a white Toyota Camry parked outside and then explained that another car had backed into it and then left the scene. When he came out he observed a large dent in the passengers side rear bumper that was not there before. Officer Selig tracked down the owner of MA Registration 3EF576 at 20 Hale Street and the operator of MV2 admitted to being in the parking lot but denied striking MV1. It should be noted that while at Mr. Wendt's residence both Officer Selig and I observed MA reg 3EF576 parked in driveway of 20 Hale Street with damage to the left rear bumper consistent with how the witnesses stated MV2 struck MV1. Based on the 2 witness statements that express that the operator of the Nissan Pickup knew he struck another vehicle and still left the scene I issued the operator of MV2, Mr. Spencer Wendt, Massachusetts Uniform Citation T1443928, a criminal application to appear in Newton District Court for 90-24 Leaving the Scene of Property Damage. A copy of this report as a well as the criminal application were placed in the court prosecutors mailbox.

Narrative:
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.

Narrative:
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.

Narrative:
On 05/04/19 at approximately 09:47 a citizen called in a vehicle that was parked on Elinor Rd near Woodcliff Rd with heavy damage. The anonymous caller stated the car had been parked there for at least 4 hours. Upon arrival Mass Reg #4FJ861 a 2004 Grey Honda Accord was spotted parked crooked in the road with its back bumper missing, bent drivers side rim and flat tire and large dent in the middle of the front bumper. Dispatch was able to get in touch with the vehicle owner Jaleh Jalili who stated her son Pouya Jalili was driving her car last night. While canvassing the neighborhood of Elinor Rd , Sgt. O'Connell was able to find a tire marks on a lawn and a downed "Sharp Bend" sign in front of #273 Dedham St. This crash site is approximately 1/4 mile away from where the parked car was found. I went to #273 Dedham St and witnessed fresh tire marks that went up on the curb onto the lawn of #273 Dedham St, over a vacant sign post hole and then a "Sharp Bend" sign that was half bent and then resting in the South brake down lane of Dedham St.. There was also a plastic black part of a car along with two (2) metal parts to the under side heat shield of an exhaust. The owner of #273 Dedham St was not home so I left a message on his door regarding this incident. Tody's was called and David showed up and towed the car from the scene. Officer Hagopian went to the residence of Pouya Jalili and spoke with him. Pouya told Officer Hagopian that he was involved in a spin out somewhere on Rt 9. in Wellesley and his bumper became detached. He then pulled into the CVS in Newton at #978 Boylston St where he pulled his bumper the rest of the way off. He then told Officer Hagopian that he continued down Rt 9 until he realized his car wouldn't make it any further and that's when he pulled off and parked on Elinor Rd. He then called a friend to pick him up and drive him home. On the way back to the station I stopped by #978 Boylston St with Officer Benes. He found a Grey rear bumper which is believed to belong to Pouya Jalili's car. I called David Donahue (Tow Driver) and asked that he look under the Honda to see if it had its heat shield. Donahue responded back that Mass Reg# 4FJ861 was missing its heat shield. I then drove to #93 Waltham St and spoke with Pouya Jalili with his mother Jaleh present. Pouya restated the same story he told Officer Hagopian and that he never struck anything in Newton nor was he drinking. Pouya said he might have been in a rush because he wanted to get home before his junior operator curfew. After finishing my interview with Pouya, I went to my cruiser and wrote Mass Criminal Citation #T1444231 for Ch 90/ Sec 24-Leaving the Scene of Property Damage (lawn and sign damage), Ch 90 / Sec 24-Operating to Endanger(putting the public at risk by driving up on the sidewalk) and Ch 89/ Sec 4a- Marked Lanes Violation (crossing Dedham St marked double yellow lines) and handed it to Pouya. I took pictures of the scene where the car was found, the crash site at #273 Dedham St and the bumper found at CVS and placed the disk in an envelope. The envelope was t.o.t. our I.T. Bureau for attachment to this report. Jaleh said her son was returning to Alabama tomorrow to finish high school and then he would be attending The University of Alabama in the Fall. I advised Jaleh about the Criminal Application process. As of today 05/04/19, Pouya has an active Massachusetts License and no B.O.P..Wellesley P.D. was notified of this incident in case they came across new damage on Rt 9.

Narrative:
On Tuesday May 7th, 2019 at approximately 13:15 hours I responded to the area of 30 Langley Road for an auto vs. pedestrian accident. At the time of the accident the weather was sunny and the road conditions were dry. Langley Road is a public way maintained by the City of Newton. Upon arrival I first spoke to the pedestrian who was inside the ambulance getting medical attention. The pedestrian identified as Donna Kalikow (S24151638) stated she was standing in an open parking space for a few seconds, attempting to walk across the street to enter J.P. Licks. Donna stated she was standing in the marked parking space waiting for traffic to stop to safely cross the street. Donna states the cars stopped to let her cross and she proceeded into the roadway. She states MV1 was attempting to back into the parking space that she was standing in and struck her right side and knocked her to the ground. Donna states the operator of MV1 stopped the vehicle when he realized he had struck her and got out to contact 911. Donna appeared to have minor injuries and complained of head pain. Medics transported Donna to NWH to be further evaluated. The operator of MV1 identified as Christopher Moos (S24090966) stated he was attempting to parallel park into an empty parking space and never saw the pedestrian standing in the space. Christopher stated as he was backing up into the space he was notified by a bystander that he just struck a pedestrian. Christopher stated he immediately stopped the vehicle and got out to assist the pedestrian and contact 911. Christopher stated he was not travelling no more than 5mph at the time of the accident. MV1 did not have any damage to the vehicle and was able to leave the scene. Christopher reported no injuries. Several photographs were taken of the scene and submitted to the IT Bureau. I mailed the operator a Massachussetts Uniform Citation for a City of Newton Ordinance violation for Section 19-75 Failure to use care when backing.

ON THIS DATE I RESPONDED TO 5 MEADOWBROOK RD, FOR A REPORT OF AN AUTO ACCIDENT (SEE INCIDENT REPORT #19018289). THE CALL WAS RECEIVED FROM THE ENVIRONMENTAL POLICE WHO WERE ON-SCENE. ON-SCENE PRIOR TO MY ARRIVAL WERE CAPTAIN DOWLING AND TRAFFIC SERGEANT LEE. CATALDO MEDIC 2 AND AMBULANCE 1 ARRIVED ON-SCENE, SHORTLY AFTER I DID. UPON MY ARRIVAL, I OBSERVED A SILVER HONDA CIVIC WITH HEAVY FRONT END DAMAGE. THE VEHICLE DISPLAYED MASSACHUSETTS REGISTRATION 7ZF784. TWO PEOPLE WERE STANDING BESIDE THE VEHICLE. A MAN AND A WOMEN SAID THEY HAD BEEN IN THE CAR. THE MAN, LATER IDENTIFIED AS BENJAMIN SMALL STATED HE HAD BEEN OPERATING THE VEHICLE.

THE MEDICS CHECKED OUT MR SMALL ( MEDICS ELISE GADANSKY AND ROBERT ANDERSON) WHICH INCLUDED CHECKING FOR LOW BLOOD SUGAR, DUE TO HIS INABILITY TO SPEAK CLEARLY AND LEGIBLY. HIS BLOOD SUGAR CHECKED OUT FINE. I THEN ASKED MR SMALL WHAT HAD HAPPENED. HE STATED THAT HE WAS TRAVELING WESTBOUND ON DEDHAM ST WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN A WHITE MINI VAN CROSSED OVER THE DOUBLE YELLOW LINE AND WAS HEADING TOWARDS HIM. HE STATED THAT IN ORDER TO AVOID A HEAD ON COLLISION, HE SWERVED RIGHT, OFF THE ROAD AND STRUCK A TELEPHONE POLE (LATER DETERMINED TO BE UTILITY POLE #60 LOCATED IN FRONT OF 556 DEDHAM STREET). HE STATED THAT HE PULLED OVER ONTO MEADOWBROOK RD. BOTH DEDHAM STREET AND MEADOWBROOK RD ARE PUBLIC WAYS IN THE CITY OF NEWTON. AS I WAS TALKING TO MR SMALL HE APPEARED TO SPEAK VERY SLOWLY, HE APPEARED TO BE LETHARGIC, BUT I COULD NOT DETECT ANY ODOR OF AN ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE ON HIS BREATH. NEXT I SPOKE TO MS OAKES WHO STATED SHE IS MR SMALL'S GIRLFRIEND. SHE STATED SHE WAS A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT OF THE CAR. SHE ALSO STATED THAT MR SMALL WAS OPERATING THE VEHICLE WHEN A VEHICLE HAD CUT THEM OFF FORCING THEM OFF THE ROAD INTO THE TELEPHONE POLE. DUE TO THE FACT THAT WE COULD NOT SMELL ANY ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE ON HIS BREATH, CAPTAIN DOWLING REQUESTED THAT A DRUG RECOGNITION EXPERT (DRE) BE CALLED TO THE SCENE. DISPATCH NOTIFIED SURROUNDING CITIES AND TOWNS OF OUR NEED FOR A DRE. NOBODY WAS ABLE TO RESPOND. TRAFFIC OFFICER WADE RESPONDED TO THE SCENE AND PERFORMED A ROADSIDE ASSESSMENT ON MR SMALL. SEE HIS SUPPLEMENTAL REPORT. BASED ON OFFICER WADES ROADSIDE ASSESSMENT AND MY ON-SCENE OBSERVATIONS, I PLACED MR SMALL UNDER ARREST FOR OUI DRUGS, MARKED LANES, AND NEGLIGENT OPERATION OF A MV. MR SMALL WAS HANDCUFFED AND SEARCHED BY OFFICER WADE. PRIOR TO TRANSPORT, CRUISER 499 WAS SEARCHED BY OFFICER WADE FOR CONTRABAND WITH NEGATIVE RESULTS. OFFICER WADE THEN PLACED MR SMALL INTO CRUISER 499 AND SEAT BELTED HIM. WHILE OFFICER WADE DID THIS, OFFICER WILSON AND I DID AN INVENTORY OF THE VEHICLE. DURING THE INVENTORY, 9 CVS PAPER PRESCRIPTION PRINTOUTS WERE FOUND. THEY WERE ALL IN MR SMALL'S NAME FOR THE DRUG "ADDERALL" (8) OR "KLONOPIN" (1). ALSO FOUND WAS A SMALL YELLOW PLASTIC PRESCRIPTION TYPE BOTTLE CONTAINING AN UNKNOWN LIQUID. OFFICER WILSON PLACED THE BOTTLE OF UNKNOWN LIQUID INTO A BAG AND HAD IT LATER EXAMINED AT THE NPD STATION BY DET. ROBINSON OF THE DRUG UNIT (HE DETERMINED IT TO BE NOT SUSPICIOUS AND IT WAS DISPOSED OF). THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED BY TODY'S TOWING.

PICTURES OF THE VEHICLE AND DAMAGED TELEPHONE POLE WERE TAKEN BY OFFICER WILSON. OFFICER WILSON TURNED THE DISC OVER TO DIRECTOR SMITH, WHO DOWNLOADED THEM. AFTER THE MV INVENTORY, I TRANSPORTED MR SMALL TO NEWTON POLICE FOR BOOKING.

HE WAS THEN PROCESSED BY OFFICER JASON SCHLEGEL, BOOKED BY SGT O'CONNELL, THEN PLACED INTO CELL #3. MR SMALL WAS ISSUED CITATION NUMBER T0645459, IN HAND FOR 1.) OUI DRUGS CH90 SEC24, 2.)

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 spoke with Emery's father Randolph Mays. I told Randolph of the accident. Randolph stated that he did not give Emery permission to take his vehicle. Randolph stated that he would meet Emery at NWH. I told Randolph that Emery was going to be charged wit Ch.90 Sec.10 unlicensed operation of a m/v, citation # T1272114 (in the mail due to his being at the hospital). I also advised that he could take out his own charges against Emery for using without authority if he chooses to do so. Todys towed the vehicle. JCC staff were notified of the incident.

Upon arrival, I observed a utility pole broken in half, wires hanging in the street, and also a transformer on the ground. Fire and medics responded. Other police units were able to block the street from traffic. I spoke to witness, HARRIS, who stated that she was traveling Southbound on Adam Street when she saw MV1 in the wrong lane traveling toward her at a high rate of speed. HARRIS stated that MV1 then turned into the utility pole located outside of 109. MV1 took out the pole, side swiped MV2 and then hit MV3 head on. Operator of MV1 stated that he was traveling Northbound on Adam Street when he sneezed. At this point, he said his eyes were off the road and the next thing he could remember was being in the parking lot of 109 Adam Street after the accident. There was significant damage to the front of MV1 with airbag deployment. Operator of MV1 was checked out by the medics for a head injury and signed a refusal. Operator of MV1 was asked if he had consumed any alcohol or taken any medication today and he declined. Officer Spinney (N491) asked if he was willing to do a Field Sobriety Test, and he stated yes. Operator of MV1 did not show any signs of intoxication. Operator of MV2 stated that he had parked his car outside of 109 Adam Street and was sitting in the driver seat when he was hit by MV1 and also the utility pole.

On Thursday, May 16th 2019, at approximately 6:40am, I, Officer Brooks, responded to 930 Watertown street for a report of a head on collision. Upon my arrival I spoke with the operator of MV1(MA REG RT91EL) who stated she was traveling westbound on Watertown street and "blacked out" and could not recall how the accident happened. I asked what she meant about blacking out, and she stated she thought she had a panic attack and may have passed out. The operator of MV1 stated she takes Lorazepam for panic attacks, but has never had one like this. MV1 had heavy front end damage and airbag deployment, specifically to the driver's side. The operator was uninjured. I then spoke with the operator of MV2(RI COM 81082) who stated he was traveling eastbound on Watertown street, and observed MV1 crossing over the center line. The operator of MV2 stated he tried to get out of the way but MV1 continued into his lane and struck him head on. MV2 had damage to the drivers side front end. The operator stated that he was suffering from shoulder pain to his right shoulder. The operator of MV2 was transported to Newton Welleseley by Cataldo. Both MV1 and MV2 were towed by Tody's due to the damage. As a result of the collision, MV2 rolled into parked a vehicle MV3(MA REG 315PW6). There was minor damage to the rear end of MV3. The owner was notified and provided the crash information. The operator of MV1 was mailed MA Uniform citation T1442362 for 89/4a Marked Lanes violation, and additionally based on her statement of passing out at the wheel I filed an immediate threat with the registry. The operator of MV2 was mailed MA Uniform Citation T1442363 for 90/9 Expired registration.

Narrative:
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.

Operator of vehicle one, Benjamin Beaver stated that while driving south bound near 321 Walnut St his vehicle ( MA reg 551DK8 2014 Lexus ) made contact with a pedestrian in a marked crosswalk. Walnut St is a public way in the city of Newton. Beaver stated that he did not see the pedestrian prior to the crash and that his vehicle was travailing approximately 5 to 10 MPH. Beaver stated that the pedestrian was knocked to the ground but got up and walked around. The pedestrian, NNHS student Benjamin Donovan stated that he was crossing east to west in the marked crosswalk in front of 321 Walnut St. Donovan stated that he saw Beaver's vehicle approaching him at approximately 5 to 10 MPH. Believing that Beaver was stopping to let him cross , Donovan stated that he held up his left hand to signal to Beaver that he was going to cross. Donovan stated that Beaver's vehicle struck him on his left side and knocked him to the ground. Donovan stated that he had minor scrapes on his right side as a result of falling to the ground. Donovan stated that he did not lose consciousness and was transported via EMS to Newton Wellesley Hospital for treatment. I took photos of Beaver's vehicle and forward the disk to NPD IT Bureau. I issued Beaver MA Citation T 1269995 and cited him for a violation of MGL Ch 89 C 11, failure to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk. On 06/12/2019 I was forwarded an E-mail from Capt Anastasia of a video of the crash that was taken from a camera that was mounted on the roof of 321 Walnut St. The video shows Donovan walking into the marked crosswalk from the east side of Walnut St and hold up his left had to Beaver's on oncoming vehicle.

Narrative:
On 07/16/19 at approximately 09:38 I responded to a two vehicle crash on Needham St. outside of #141. The Operator of Veh #1 stated she was turning left on Needham St when the South bound traffic stopped to left her turn. As she turned, Veh#2 drove South down the multi-turn lane and they collided nearly head on. Heavy damage and air bag deployment to Veh #1. The operator was checked out by Medics and signed a patient refusal. The Operator of Veh #2 stated she was driving down the multi-turn lane South on Needham St.. She was preparing to take a left onto Jaconnet St when Veh #1 pulled out of parking lot and collided with her vehicle. I observed moderate to heavy damage to Veh #2 and noted that the vehicle didn't have its directional on. The operator of Veh #2 complained to left leg pain and was transported to Newton-Wellesley Hospital By Ambulance #1. Both vehicles were towed by Tody's Towing. At the conclusion of my investigation it appears as if both vehicles were at fault during this crash; Veh#1 for not yielding to right of way and Veh #2 for traveling too soon in a turn lane, no directional and driving too fast for the heavy traffic conditions. Both operators were given verbal warnings and there will be no citations issued at this time.

Narrative:
Operator of vehicle 1 states she was traveling westbound on Washington St when the vehicle to her right began to enter her lane and then struck her passenger side pushing her onto the raised island. As a result vehicle 1 suffered a flat front driver side tire. Vehicle 2 did not stop and continued westbound on Washington St towards Wellesley. Operator of vehicle 1 was able to follow the other vehicle and got a license plate of MA reg#149DE7 and described the vehicle as a black sedan. AAA responded and fixed vehicle 1s flat tire and she was able to go on her way. I ran the license plate that was given for the other vehicle and it came back to a 2013 black Kia Rio sedan owned by a Dan Kuksin of 24 Bryon Rd apt 2 in Boston. I was unable to get a phone number for Kuksin. Dispatch requested Boston send a unit by to try and make contact and as of finishing this report I have not heard back. Traffic Bureau Update (Officer Gaudet): On Tuesday, July 6, 2019, I attempted to make contact with the registered owner of MV2, Daniel Kuksin (S61105670), with a negative result. A Hit and Run inquiry was mailed to the Kuksin. On 08/07/2019 the owner of MA reg#149DE7 came into headquarters to discuss what happened. With him was his father, Arkady Kuksin who was operating the vehicle at the time of the incident. Kuksin admitted to operating the vehicle in the area at the time of the incident but stated that someone had thrown a rock at his vehicle causing damage. He then stated that it was not thrown but kicked up from his tire. Myself and Officer Gaudet went outside with Kuskin and examined his vehicle and saw obvious damage that corresponded with the damage to vehicle 1. There were obvious signs of fresh paint transfer. I informed Kuksin that I would be updating my report and he would be receiving a summons in the mail for 90/24 leaving the scene property damage. i mailed Kuksin MA uniform citation T1444589.

Narrative:
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.

Upon arrival we spoke to the operator of vehicle 1. He stated the accident occurred on Watertown st. He was stopped at the traffic light on Watertown St at Walnut St when he was rear ended by vehicle 2. He attempted to pull over and speak to the operator of vehicle 2 but vehicle 2 proceeded to keep driving westbound on Watertown St. Vehicle 1 followed vehicle 2 until vehicle 2 drove to his residence at 22 Randlett Pk. When speaking to the operator of vehicle 2 he seemed confused. He could not answer questions regarding the accident until he was asked multiple times. He stated he was driving from Newtonville to his residence. He stated that he did not realize he was involved in an accident so he proceeded to drive to his residence. It should be noted that in our observations of Mr. Usher, it did not appear that he had a chemical impairment at this time, although he displayed confusion, and shaky hands as we spoke to him. Mr. Usher's mother stated that he had been released from a rehab facility recently, and has "not been himself". As a result of my investigation, Mr Usher was issued Citation#T2079939 for a violation of M.G.L.Ch.90/24-Leaving the Scene Property Damage.

Narrative:
On 11/12/2019 at 12:26 hours, I responded to the Star Market parking lot located at 2040 Commonwealth Avenue for a motor vehicle pedestrian accident. The parking lot is a public/thru way that motorists use to access the Star Market along with other businesses. The weather at the time was cloudy and rainy and the parking lot was saturated. Prior to my arrival, the pedestrian involved left the scene and did not want to speak to the officer nor wanted medical attention. Ofc. Claflin then cancelled Cataldo Ambulance. The pedestrian, Mary Alexander, left her information with a store employee prior to leaving. I spoke to the operator of MV # 1 (Joshua Randel MD Lic.# R534440603244) who stated that he was travelling through the third row of the Star Market parking lot at an appropriate speed. He was then attempting to make a left turn near the entrance/exit of the store. He says that there was a large white van parked in the end handicapped spot towards the left of him. He says the van was sticking out in the spot limiting his visibility. As he was half way through his left turn and coming around the corner, he was not able to see a pedestrian pushing a shopping carriage. He then struck the carriage that was being pushed by Mary Alexander. He further says that the cart jolted Ms. Alexander and she fell down to the ground. At the time, Alexander was walking through the lot near the store entrance heading back towards the parked cars. She was not in the crosswalk at the time which was approximately ten feet down from her location. After, I attempted to go to Ms. Alexander's residence to follow up. I spoke to her friend who was bringing up Alexander's groceries and she stated that she decided to go to Newton Wellesley Hospital for treatment. I then spoke to Ms. Alexander in the lobby of the hospital. She stated that she was exiting the store through the lot with her shopping carriage. She believes she was approximately eight feet away from the door when all of a sudden she only saw red coming at her. She believes MV # 1 was speeding at the time. I asked her if she was struck by the vehicle or was the shopping carriage only struck. She replied that she did not know and only remembers falling to the ground after. She sustained a large bruise to the inside palm area of her right hand and her left knee was swollen. Digital photos of the scene were taken and pictures of Ms. Alexander's injuries were taken at the hospital. As far as possible video surveillance, I was told that the Loss Prevention Department has to access the video. On 11/13/19 at approximately 14:20 hours, I went in to the Star Market and spoke to the manager, Nidal Rajeh, inquiring about possible video surveillance. He said there is coverage in the parking lot and he was able to show me the video. A copy of the video would have to be done by Loss Prevention which I requested. I observed at the 12:12pm mark in the video, MV # 1 was parked five spots up from the third row of the lot that he was exiting. I also observed a white transport van parked in the end handicapped spot mentioned by the operator but it was parked correctly and not limiting visibility. Next, MV # 1 backs out of the spot and drives forward going at a reasonable speed. The pedestrian (Alexander) has already exited the store with her carriage and is walking at an angle toward the same third row of parked cars. As the pedestrian is walking towards the direction of MV # 1, it appears that the pedestrian should be visible to him. MV # 1 then starts to take the left turn around the corner without slowing or stopping and strikes the carriage head on. Due to the impact, Alexander then loses grasp of the carriage and it goes past her twisting her body around. She then hits and rolls up on the hood of the vehicle on her left side. MV # 1 then suddenly stops and immediately gets out and provides assistance to the pedestrian. Due to the video surveillance, Mr. Randel will be issued/mailed MA Uniform Citation # T2012347 for Ch. 90/14/A Failure to slow for a pedestrian.
