On arrival Weston PD had concluded field sobriety and determined that the party, Glenn Matot, was not under the influence. Weston PD then explained that they had been contacted by AAA stating that a single vehicle accident occurred in Weston's jurisdiction. After further review, Weston PD and I determined that the accident was in fact in Newton. I then spoke with the operator of MV1, Glenn Matot, who stated that he was on his way home from work traveling westbound on Commonwealth ave in front of the Charles River Canoe and Kayak when he became distracted by a text message. Mr. Matot further explained that while texting, his car drifted to the right causing him to drive up on the snow bank and up onto the guard rail before then falling off back into the road. MV1 sustained major damage to both the passenger side and undercarriage. Mr. Matot did not sustain any injuries and denied any medical attention. AAA arrived on scene and removed the vehicle from the road and Mr. Matot took an Uber home. Two pictures were taken of the damaged City of Newton guard rail and submitted to IT to be attached to the report.

Narrative:
On 02/14/20 at approximately 14:45 I responded to a crash in the parking lot outside of #50 Winchester St- The Tile In Style store. Upon my arrival the Fire Department was already there and I was met by the owner of the building Bruno DiFazio. The vehicle that had struck the building had left the scene but he showed me security footage of the crash. The video showed a white S.U.V. (later determined to be Mass. Reg# 6GEL40 White 2017 Acura RDX owned and operated by Eleonora Revzin) pull slowly into a parking spot and then accelerate up and over the curb and into the building. The crash caused moderate damage to the brick facade and inside wall of the tile store. A short time later, Revzin drove back into the parking lot where I spoke with her. Revzin stated she didn't know why her car had accelerated into the building but she was having some personal issues and may have been distracted. She explained that she left the area because she was shaken up but then as she had time to clear her head, thought she should return to the store. There was minor damage to her vehicle and she stated she was not hurt and didn't want me to call the Medics for an evaluation. I issued Revzin Mass. Citation #T2013436 in hand for N.C.O. 19/75- Failure to use care in stopping and a verbal warning for leaving the scene. City of Newton Inspector Paul Nelson showed up and deemed the building to be structurally safe. N523 Officer Wilson arrived and took pictures of the scene.
