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:
MV1 had just picked up a student at 56 Crescent Ave(at the intersection of Throwbridge). He made the pick up just west of the stop sign. He turned off his illuminated bus stop sign, paused and then began to pull into traffic. MV2 was stopped at the stop sign on Trowbridge st at Crescent St waiting for the bus to turn off the stop sign. When the bus turned it off, it appeared to him that the bus was not pulling into traffic. MV2 began to turn left "very slowly". As he was driving next to the van, the van pulled into traffic and the 2 MVs touched mirrors. There was no damage to either MV. A BLS ambulance was called to the scene because there were three students on board. All parents showed up and signed refusals for their children. Pictures were taken of the two mirrors that had no damage. The following parents showed up on scene to sign refusals for their children: Gareth Gorman for Sophia 617-515-1576 Lori for Harry Melchionno 617-527-7751 Malagros Falu for Nathalie Cedno The students belong to the Oak Hill Middle school and they were notified.

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.

Narrative:
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 WOMAN, LATER IDENTIFIED AS KIMBERLY OAKES, STATED SHE WAS A PASSENGER IN THE VEHICLE. I ASKED THEM IF THEY WERE OK OR NEEDED MEDICAL HELP AND THEY SAID THEY WERE NOT INJURED. 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. THE CVS PAPER PRESCRIPTION PRINTOUTS WERE REMOVED AND PLACED INTO PROPERTY AND EVIDENCE. TOWED MV AND PROPERTY AND EVIDENCE FORMS WERE FILLED OUT. 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. AT THE STATION MR SMALL WAS REMOVED FROM MY CRUISER AND THE CRUISER WAS AGAIN SEARCHED AND I FOUND NO CONTRABAND OR WEAPONS. 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.)

Narrative:
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. Beaver vehicle appears to be travailing faster than the 5 to 10 MPH that Beaver believed that he was travailing. The video shows that Beaver did not brake until Donovan was struck and landed on his vehicles hood. Donovan was thrown approximately 10 feet from Beaver's vehicle and landed on his right side on the roadway. The video shows Beaver stopping and pulling to the side of the roadway after the crash.

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.

On 07/29/19 at 11:13 hours, I responded to the Dunkin Donuts parking lot located at 138 Needham Street for a three car motor vehicle accident. Operator of MV1 stated at first she could not recall what occurred during the accident due to lightheadedness at the time. After, she then stated after pulling in to the Dunkin Donuts lot she was attempting to back in to a parking spot in the back of the lot. While backing up, she attempted to hit the brake pedal but must have pushed the gas pedal instead. The vehicle then struck parked/unoccupied MV2 and MV2 was then pushed in to parked/unoccupied MV3. The operator was checked out by Cataldo Ambulance and signed a patient refusal. MV1 sustained moderate driver's side rear bumper area damage but it was still driveable. MV2 sustained damage along both sides of the vehicle and a rear broken axle and it was towed by Tody's. MV3 sustained scrapes and dents to the entire driver's side but the vehicle was driveable.

Narrative:
On Tuesday, September 10, 2019 while assigned to Traffic unit N525, I responded to the area of Beacon Street and Roslyn Road, Newton for a report of a motor vehicle/bicycle crash. The weather at the time of the crash was overcast. The road surface was dry. Beacon Street and Roslyn Road are both public ways maintained by the City of Newton. I spoke with the bicyclist involved in the crash, Steven Greenzang (S96615185). Greenzang stated he was traveling Westbound on Beacon Street in the shoulder lane on his black Specialized bicycle. Greenzang had a yellow reflective vest on and was wearing a helmet at this time. Greenzang stated a vehicle in the travel lane to his left drove by him and hit the mirror located on his left handlebar. I observed damage to the mirror. Greenzang report no injuries. I spoke with the operator of MV1, Sarah Bonfanti (S66811372). Bonfanti stated she was parked in front of 1411 Beacon Street waiting to pick up a co-worker that resides at that address. Bonfanti stated a bicycle traveling on the sidewalk to her right crashed into the passenger side door mirror of her 2008 Toyota Scion (MA: 681YH1). Bonfanti stated the bicyclist was acting "crazy" during her interaction with him and he was trying to take her picture. Bonfanti stated she got back into her vehicle and moved up the roadway to wait for police to arrive on scene. I canvassed the area where the accident occurred with Sgt. Dempsey. There was glass from the passenger side mirror of MV1 and Greenzang's bicycle in the main travel lane of the roadway and the shoulder lane where Greenzang stated he was traveling. We also observed a large tree and a telephone pole on the sidewalk next to the roadway where the accident is alleged to have occurred. After speaking with all parties involved, observing the location of the glass in the roadway from the crash, and the location of the tree and telephone pole on the sidewalk where he accident occurred; Greenzang would not have been able to operate his bicycle on the sidewalk and be close enough to the roadway to make contact with MV1. Prior to clearing the accident, I asked Bonfanti if she had any questions and if she wanted to report any injuries. Bonfanti stated she was hit by the bicyclist during her exchange with him and began grabbing her left leg. I asked Bonfanti why she did not inform the officers on scene that she was assaulted. Bonfanti stated she said something to our Dispatch when she called. I asked Bonfanti if her leg was injured. Bonfanti stated I was putting words in her mouth and that she was just scratching her leg. Bonfanti then stated she was hit in the right shoulder. I asked Bonfanti if she would like an ambulance to respond and evaluate her. Bonfanti declined and stated she was more concerned about her mirror. I advised Bonfanti if she wanted to pursue charges against Greenzang she could do so in Newton District Court. I listened to the 9-1-1 recording Bonfanti made in regards to this incident. Bonfanti stated a pedestrian busted out her window. Bonfanti then stated to our dispatcher that the bicyclist lost control of his bicycle and smashed into her car. During her exchange with the our dispatcher, I did not hear Bonfanti say she was physically assaulted by Greenzang.

On Friday, September 13, 2019 at approximately 16:19 hours, while assigned to N496, I responded to 162 Warren St. for a report that two boys were hit by a car earlier in the day. Once on scene I spoke with Wes Moore and Luca Toro (both attend Oak Hill Middle School), as well as their mothers Jamie Moore and Alyssa Toro. Wes and Luca explained that at about 15:15 hours, they were crossing at the crosswalk adjacent to the Bank of America in Newton Centre (808 Beacon Street), heading towards the Newton Centre municipal parking lot. The boys stated that as they crossed a large van, which was traveling westbound on Beacon Street in the left turn lane, stopped to let them cross. Wes and Luca stated that they did not realize that there was another westbound travel lane, and after passing the truck they were both hit by an unknown sedan. Wes and Luca stated that the driver, who they described as an approximately 50 year old white female, got out of her car and started yelling at them to be careful. Wes and Luca stated that the unknown female operator checked to see if they were hurt and then left the area heading westbound on Beacon Street. Wes and Luca stated that they both fell to the ground as a result of being hit by the unknown motor vehicle, but only sustained minor injuries. I offered to have an ambulance respond to evaluate Wes and Luca, however, Mrs. Moore and Mrs. Toro declined. I advised the boys and their mothers that I would be documenting this incident with a crash report, and that I would head to the area to see if Bank of America had and cameras facing the crosswalk, so that we could hopefully identify the operator of the unknown motor vehicle. I then responded to the Bank of America, however, the bank was closed for the day. Supplement by Officer Ferguson: On Monday 09/16/2019 at approximately 0900 hours I responded to the Bank of America and spoke with the employees who stated they do not have any cameras that record the street or sidewalk areas. The camera they have only records the front door and lobby area.

Narrative:
On 09/27/19 at 08:41 hours while assigned to Traffic Unit 523, I responded to a motor vehicle/bicyclist accident at 1330 Centre Street. The weather at the time was clear and sunny. The road surface was dry and Centre Street is a public way maintained by the City of Newton. Traffic conditions were at a heavy volume and Centre Street was congested at the time. There is no dedicated bicycle lane in this area due to the road being too narrow. I spoke to the bicyclist involved (Unit 2), Michael Hnatko (S10432772). Mr. Hnatko stated he was traveling northbound on Centre Street on the right side of the road on his 20 inch gray Trek bicycle. He further says that he was peddling very fast at the time and must have not been paying attention to MV1 turning right in to parking lot of 1330 Centre Street as he was approaching from behind. As MV1 was turning right, he then struck the passenger side rear quarter panel of the vehicle and fell forward off of his bicycle. He sustained minor injuries such as scrapes to his knuckles on both hands and a small cut to the bridge of his nose. He signed a patient refusal with Cataldo Ambulance. It appeared that the front alignment was now off on his Trek bicycle. I then spoke to the operator of MV1, Lonnie McGinnis (S66044083). He states that he was inching along in heavy traffic waiting to turn right in to the lot of 1330 Centre Street with his right turn directional signal on. As he was turning right, the bicyclist struck his vehicle on his passenger side rear quarter panel area. McGinnis thought it was clear to turn right at the time and never saw the bicyclist approaching from behind. No injuries reported by McGinnis and I observed minor dents and scratches to the passenger rear quarter panel area. Digital photos taken by Ofc. Gaudet.

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.

Narrative:
On 11/27/19 at 12:43 hours, I responded to the Petsmart located at 215 Needham Street for a motor vehicle bicyclist accident. The weather at the time was approximately 50 degrees, cloudy and the road conditions were dry. No injuries reported. Operator of MV # 1 (Barbara Cooper) states she was facing eastbound on Needham Street waiting in the center turn lanes to take a left turn in to the garage of 215 Needham Street. Next, she states that a large truck going westbound stopped for her and waved her on to turn. She then proceeded in to the garage and parked and that is when she was confronted by the bicyclist saying that she was struck with her vehicle. The operator was unaware of an accident occurring and was not able to visibly see past the truck while turning. I observed a minor scratch to the passenger rear quarter panel area of the vehicle. Operator of the bicyclist (Merissa Brousseau) states she traveling westbound in the bicycle lane on the right side near 215 Needham Street when she observed the large truck mentioned above suddenly stop. She states that she was also visibly blocked from seeing ahead due to the truck. She then kept peddling straight through and struck MV # 1 in the passenger side rear end as it was making its left turn. The operator was evaluated by Cataldo Ambulance but refused medical attention. I observed no apparent damage to the bicycle. Ms. Brousseau was wearing a bicycle helmet, black and red Boston University bicycle suit, and red BU sock covers over her shoes.

Narrative:
On Friday December 27th, 2019, at approximately 1348hrs, while assigned to N508 to assist with a funeral escort, I was notified by Dispatch that "MC1" was involved in a crash at the Whole Foods parking lot on Washington Street. Upon arrival I found that Newton Police Motorcycle #1 was involved in a crash while helping to assist a funeral that had just left the Our Lady Church property. Police MC #1 is MA MMC7219, a 2016 Harley Davidson motorcycle. The motorcycle was operated by Officer Rocco Marini. MV #2 was also located on scene and parked in the Whole Food parking lot. This vehicle is MA Reg. 7VN155 a 2017 Lexus ES350. This vehicle was operated by Diana Simkin. Officer Marini reported that he was traveling westbound on Washington Street when he was hit by MV #2 that was making a left (opposite direction) into the Whole Foods parking lot. Officer Marini was in the right hand lane escorting the long line of cars that was part of a funeral procession. These vehicles were in left westbound lane. Officer Marini reported he was in the right hand lane and had his emergency lights on when the collision occurred. Officer Marini did not see MV #2 prior to collision. Officer Marini reported that the front of his motorcycle hit the rear passenger side tire of MV #2. Officer Marini was taken from the scene by Ambulance to Newton Wellesley Hospital. I spoke to the operator of MV #2 Diana Simkin. Simkin reported she was traveling east on Washington Street and wanted to make a left into Whole Foods parking lot when the crash occurred. Simkin reported she was waved into the lot by an unknown motor vehicle headed in the opposite direction. Simkin was not sure which lane this person waved from. Simkin made the left into the lot and was not aware of the crash or did she see MC 1 until she was stuck in traffic in the parking lot and some woman knocked on her window. Simkin reported that she never saw an police emergency flashing lights either. There was minimal damage to Simkin's vehicle. There was scuff marks on the passenger rear tire. Simkin also did not report any injuries. MC #1 sustained some front damage to the wheel fender fairing. The motorcycle was taken from the scene by Tody's. Pictures were taken on scene by Officer McSweeney and given to IT for downloading purposes. While on scene Officer McSweeney and myself went to New England Diamond and Jewelry at 660 Washington Street. We met the owners Dave and Robert Alpert (617-243-0099) who reported that they have video of the collision. In the video I observed at 1346hrs the funeral begin to pass the Whole Foods entrance. At 1348hrs the video shows MV #2 come up in the easttbound lane and stop. The vehicle stops and waits until an unknown white SUV stops to allow MV #2 to make a left turn into the lot. Once this unknown SUV stops, the video shows that MV #2 makes the left and hits MC #1 as he is traveling straight ahead with his emergency lights on. It appears from the video that MC #1 had no warning and could not brake his motorcycle. The video shows a long line of cars in this funeral procession with their emergency flashing lights on. Due to the angle of the video and vehicles I am unable to tell if this SUV had their flashing lights on. The video was sent to Director Smith in IT for downloading purposes. I went to Newton Wellesley Hospital and spoke with Officer Marini. He was reporting soreness to his left elbow. Officer Marini was released from the Hospital and taken back to the station at about 1500hrs. Based on the facts of the investigation, I have issued MA Uniform Citation T0340444 to Diana Simkin for violating 89/8: failure to yield the right of way and for violating 89/7A: interference with an emergency vehicle. Simkin was notified of this citation via telephone at 1730hrs on this day and this citation was mailed to her address. Washington Street is a public way in the City of Newton.

Narrative:
On 07/28/2020 at 1221hrs I responded to the area of 23 Oak St for a motor vehicle crash involving a pedestrian. The involved pedestrian had left the area prior to my arrival. The vehicle that was involved in crash was also not on scene. The crash occurred on 07/28/2020 at approximately 0900hrs in the driveway of 27 Oak St. Prior to the crash the involved vehicle described as a 1991 Chrysler TC Convertible color Red bearing MA Antique Reg D2935 ( Active) was located in the driveway of 23 Oak St. The vehicle was facing toward the rear of the driveway.

There were no occupants in the involved vehicle at the time of the crash. It is unknown at this time if the vehicle sustained any damage. The pedestrian left the area prior to this crash being reported to NPD. The vehicle was removed from the area prior to the crash being reported to NPD. I then spoke to the owner of the involved vehicle Marc Dumoulin who was on scene and was the reporting person. Dumoulin stated that the crash occurred today 07/28/2020 at approximately 0900hrs. Dumoulin states that the involved vehicle described as a 1991 Chrysler Convertible was having issues due to a gas tank problem and he believes it wasn't going to pass inspection. Dumoulin stated that he took his vehicle for a final test ride around the block to decide if he wanted to keep it or not. Dumoulin states that after operating the vehicle he decided to salvage the vehicle with CJ Auto in Watertown, MA. Dumoulin states that before going to CJ Auto he decided to stop back at his home first. Dumoulin states he then parked the vehicle at this driveway and got out to go in the house. Dumoulin states that he believes the vehicle was running at this time. Dumoulin states that as he was walking toward his house he observed his vehicle rolling in reverse towards his neighbor's driveway. Dumoulin states that the vehicle then rolled into his neighbor's driveway near his neighbors fence. Dumoulin states that the pedestrian was outside near the fence when his vehicle rolled into his neighbor's driveway.Dumoulin states that he did not initially report the crash because he did not believe that his vehicle had come in contact with the pedestrian. Dumoulin states that he then removed the vehicle from his neighbor's driveway and brought it to CJ Auto for salvage. Dumoulin states that when he returned to his residence he became aware that the pedestrian may have been struck by his vehicle and had a minor injury. Dumoulin states that upon hearing this he called NPD. At this time I was met by Nina Levin who is the homeowner of 27 Oak St. Levin stated that she did not observe the crash but a contractor working on her house did.

Levin provided me with these photo's which I then submitted to the IT Bureau. Levin provided me with Flores-Romans contact phone number. Dumoulin also provided his insurance information to Levin so that she could relay the information to Flores-Roman. I then spoke with a witness Gleb Andreev who was a carpenter working at 27 Oak St. Andreev states that he was inside of 27 Oak St working on a first floor window facing the driveway. Andreev state he observed the involved vehicle roll into the driveway and come to rest near the pedestrian. Gleb stated he then went out side to assist the pedestrian.

The operator of MV1, Cody Hjelm (NHL19517660), stated he was traveling westbound on Watertown Street and had just crossed over Crafts Street when he saw a bicyclist traveling in the same direction on Watertown Street. As MV1 approached the bicyclist he moved over to the left towards the double yellow lines to give the bicyclist room.

Narrative:
On 09/21/20 at 14:46 hours, I (Traffic Unit # 523) responded to the parking lot of 88 Chestnut Street for a motor vehicle accident involving a pedestrian. The weather at the time was 60 degrees ( localconditions.com) and the sky was clear and sunny. The road surface was dry. The parking lot is a thru way that the public use to enter/exit the lot or park there. On arrival at the same time with the Fire and Medics, I observed a female laying in the middle of the lot facing down on her back. A small red and gray CVS like type shopping carriage was knocked over and resting on it's side in front of the victim's head. The carriage was moved to the side in order to tend to the victim I also observed a black Honda Civic bearing MA reg.# 3741TW that was involved in the accident. The Honda was out of the parking spot resting approximately two feet away from the pedestrian's legs. I then spoke to the pedestrian identified as Darla Gipson in the rear of the ambulance. She sustained an abrasion to her front left shoulder and arm area which I observed. She also complained of left knee and elbow pain. She stated that she walking through the middle of the parking lot pushing the carriage by the door entrance in a westerly direction towards Chestnut Street. She states that she never saw a vehicle backing up and then she was suddenly struck and believes she was pushed underneath the vehicle. She was then transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital by Cataldo Ambulance. I then spoke to the operator of the Honda Civic identified as Linda Burke (MA S70320414). Ms. Burke was parked in the first spot to the right of the walkway that leads to the entrance/exit doorway. I asked her what occurred and she stated that she was backing her vehicle up to exit the parking lot when she looked behind her not seeing anything in sight. She then started backing up and struck the pedestrian without realizing it. She says the driver of a green cab and his female customer who were no longer on scene were yelling at her to stop her vehicle because the pedestrian was underneath it. She then stopped her vehicle. I observed minor scrapes to the entire rear bumper of the vehicle so it is unknown where it actually struck the pedestrian/carriage. I observed no obvious signs of damage to the carriage. It should be noted that Ms. Burke's Honda does not have a back up camera or back up sensors. There are no surveillance cameras to the apartment complex and no witnesses came forward for the accident. As a result of the investigation, Ms. Burke will be issued Uniform Citation # T1271069 for Newton City Ordinance 19-75 Failure To Use Care in Backing. Digital photos were taken by me of the scene.

Narrative:
On 12/3/2020 at 1400hrs I investigated a past motor vehicle crash involving a pedestrian. The crash occurred on 12/03/2020 at approximately 1240hrs. The crash was located in the area of 483 Centre St. Centre St is a public way in the city of Newton. Vehicle 1 was traveling southbound on Centre St near the area of 483 Centre St. Pedestrian 1 was located on the southbound side of Centre St near 483 Centre St. Pedestrian entered the southbound lane of Centre St and was struck by Vehicle 1. As a result of the impact Pedestrian 1 sustained a minor injury to his left leg. Vehicle 1 had no known damage. No parties were transported. No tow was required. It should be noted that the crash was reported by the Operator of Vehicle 1 Daniel Zandman at approximately 1400hrs. Zandman states that he was operating his Vehicle southbound on Centre St just after the intersection at Church St. Zandman states that Pedestrian 1 unexpectedly ran in front of his vehicle. Zandman stated that he did not have enough reaction time to come to a complete stop and his front bumper made contact with Pedestrian 1. Zandman stated that after impact he immediately got out of his vehicle and checked on Pedestrian 1. Zandman described pedestrian on as a 10 year old white male identified as Dexter Jagoditish. Zandman stated that while on scene Dexter called his mother Jess Jagoditish who immediately responded to the scene. Zandman stated that he exchanged information with Jess Jagoditish who then took Dexter home. Zandman states that a witness Mia Martin was also on scene. At approximately 1425hrs I called and spoke to Dexter and his mother Jess Jagoditish. Dexter states that he was walking on the sidewalk near 483 Centre St. Dexter states that he wanted to cross Centre St and thought there were no cars coming. Dexter stated that he entered the southbound lane of Centre St and a car came out of no where and hit him. I then spoke to Jess Jagoditish who is Dexter's mother. Jess stated that she received a call from Dexter around 1240hrs stating he was just hit by a car. Jess stated that when she arrived on scene Dexter was with Zandman and a witness Mia Martin. Jess stated that both Zandman and Martin explained them what had happened. Jess stated that Dexter appeared to be ok so she decided to take him home. Jess states that at this time Dexter has a bruise on his left calf but otherwise appears to be ok. At 1551hrs I spoke with the witness Mia Martin. Martin states that just prior to the crash she was walking her dog behind Dexter. Martin states that "out of nowhere" Dexter sprinted into the southbound lane of Centre St. Mia states that she then observed Vehicle 1 attempt to slow down and swerve to the lest to avoid Dexter. Mia states that the passenger side front bumper then made contact with Dexter. Mia states at impact Vehicle 1 was traveling at a very slow speed. Mia states that Dexter was then knocked on to the ground but then immediately jumped up and started to run away. Mia states that both she and Zandman were able to get Dexter to comeback so that they could check to see if he was ok. Mia states that Dexter was then able to contact his mom who responded on scene. Due to this crash being reported after the fact, Fire, EMS or Police where not initially notified and did not respond to the scene. Pictures were also not taken of the crash scene. At this time this report is for documentation purposes. After speaking with all the parties involved it appears that the crash was caused by Pedestrian 1 entering the roadway in a manner which gave Vehicle 1 little or no time to react.

Narrative:
Bicyclist Michael Foley stated that on 05/11/2021 at approximately 22:00 hours he was riding his Blanch mountain bike west bound near 2401 Commonwealth Ave when he was struck from behind by an unknown vehicle. Commonwealth Ave is a public way in the City of Newton. Foley stated that he was thrown from his bike and onto the roadway. It should be noted that the section of Commonwealth Ave were the crash occurred is not lit. At the time of the crash Foley was wearing dark non reflective clothing. Foley was not wearing a helmet or any other safety equipment at the time of the crash. Foley stated that he did not see what type of vehicle struck him from behind and could not offer any other description. Foley was discovered laying in the roadway by a Good Samaritan at 22:08 hours. Upon inspection of Foley's bike I observed that the rear tire and rear fender was bent inward to the left side. I further observed that Foley's bike had no reflective materials affixed to it. Foley stated he did not lose consciousness as a result of the crash. Foley was transported via EMS to the Beth Israel Hospital in Boston for treatment. I respond to the Beth Israel Hospital and Foley again reiterated what he had stated at the crash site, about not having any description of the vehicle that struck him. The staff I spoke with at the hospital stated that Foley had a possible broken shoulder and/or collarbone and abrasions to his hands and legs. Foley's bike and a bag of his possessions were secured at Support Services at the station and Ofc Fay filled out a property form. During a canvass of the crash site no physical evidence from a vehicle was observed. I also observed no skid marks on the roadway. There were no cameras in the area. Due to the lack of physical evidence ,and no witness to this crash I believe that the operator of the vehicle that struck Foley may not of even been aware that a crash occurred. It should be noted that over the past 18 years I have had numerous interactions with Foley, and I know that he is homeless and has resisted any aid from social service agencies. Foley is know to camp in the Town of Weston in woods adjacent to the Massachusetts Turnpike.

Narrative:
On Thursday May 13th, 2021 at approximately 1353 hours myself and several units responded 55 Chapel Street for a motor vehicle that struck a pedestrian. At the time of the accident the weather was sunny and the road surface was dry. Chapel Street is a public way owned and maintained by the City of Newton. Upon arrival Fire and medical personnel were attempting to remove the pedestrian from underneath the vehicle as her right leg was stuck in the undercarriage. Fire and medics were able to successfully free the pedestrian from the vehicle and render medical attention. The pedestrian was identified as Beth Herr ( S58524067) and it was determined that she was also the owner of the vehicle involved. I spoke to witness Joe Shields who stated he was outside his house located at 56 Chapel Street when his attention was brought to a blue SUV that was unoccupied moving backwards down Chapel Street. Joe stated he first witnessed the operator of the motor vehicle pull up to the UPS drop box located on the sidewalk across the street from his house. He stated he saw the female operator step out of the vehicle and drop off a package. Next he saw the vehicle start to roll backwards and the female operator opened the drivers side door and attempted to pull the emergency break. He stated the vehicle overtook her and she fell to the ground with her foot stuck under the car. Joe states he heard her yell and saw her get dragged by the vehicle to the opposite side of the street where the vehicle was stopped by the curb. Joe stated he tried to assist the woman but she was yelling in pain and he did not want to cause more injury so he waited for help to arrive. Witness Robyn Preston stated she was walking on Chapel Street when she saw the blue SUV rolling backwards with no one inside the vehicle. She states she then saw a woman try to stop the vehicle but she got dragged underneath the vehicle to its final resting place. Robyn stated she stayed on scene until help arrived. I was able to speak with Beth inside the ambulance prior to being transported to the hospital. Beth was conscious and alert but in a considerable amount of pain and discomfort. I asked her what happened to which she stated she drove her blue Toyota Rav4 MA REG: 1FHM53 to the UPS drop box located in the area of 55 Chapel Street. She stated she thought she put the vehicle in park but must not have as it started to roll backwards when she got out of the car. She states she tried to stop the car by opening the drivers side door and attempting to pull the emergency break. The car over took her and she was dragged to the ground with her right foot stuck underneath the vehicle. She was dragged across the street where the vehicle was finally stopped by a curb. Beth sustained minor scrapes and road rash on various parts of her body and her right leg was injured. Fallon medics transported her to the Brigham & Womens Hospital to be treated. Her husband was contacted using Beth's cell phone and notified of the accident. Captain Boudreau and I were able to drive her vehicle to her residence at 50 Broadway Street, Newton. Her vehicle was left parked outside her house and her car keys were left with her husband who was inside the residence. The vehicle did not sustain any damage. Pictures of the scene were taken and submitted to the IT Bureau. I will be following up with Beth at the hospital to check on her status. On Friday May 14th at 0900 hours I spoke with Beth on the phone. She stated she is home from the hospital and doing much better. She states she has right leg pain and road rash from the accident.

Narrative:
On Wednesday, June 16, 2021 while assigned to Traffic unit N525, I responded to the front entrance of the Brown Middle School located at 125 Meadowbrook Road in Newton for a single vehicle crash involving a City of Newton contracted school bus. It was also reported by Newton Dispatch that one of the occupants on the bus had suffered an arm injury as a result of the crash. Meadowbrook Road is a public way maintained by the City of Newton. The road surface at the time of the crash was dry. The weather at the time of the crash was clear and sunny. When I arrived, I was updated by Officer Iarossi that the crash involved a City of Newton contracted school bus transporting students from the Williams School (141 Grove Street, Newton). The students were participating in "Step Up" day and were leaving Brown to go back to Williams. Officer Iarossi stated a student on the bus was injured as a result of the crash. Tegan Quirk was transported by Fallon Medics to Newton Wellesley Hospital with a right arm injury. The remaining students that were on the bus reported no injuries to staff at the time and were moved to another bus to be transported back to the Williams School. I asked the Brown staff that was assembled in front of the school to contact the Williams School and ask them to hold the children involved in the crash at the school once they arrived. I made this request so we could make sure there weren't any new injuries reported; and I wanted to inquire if any of the children witnessed the incident. The staff stated they would contact Williams and relay the request. I spoke with the operator of the school bus (MA BUN: BU44536), Mr. John Aubert (S48613114). Mr. Aubert stated he was operating bus #361 while transporting students from Brown Middle School to the Williams School. Mr. Aubert stated as he was preparing to leave Brown, he made an announcement to students on the bus to sit down. Mr. Aubert stated he got the okay to leave from one of the staff members on the bus. Mr. Aubert stated there was another bus parked in front of him prior to leaving. Mr. Aubert stated he began to reverse the bus to create distance from the bus in front of him, and then operated the bus forward to exit from his position on the right side of the road and merge into the travel lane to his left around the bus parked in front of him. Mr. Aubert stated as he merged onto the roadway, he heard screaming from the students on the bus and the rear passenger side of the bus made contact with a brick support column in front of the school positioned along the sidewalks edge next to the roadway. Mr. Aubert stated he exited the bus and observed a student's arm pinned on the rear passenger side of the bus between the side of the bus and the brick column. Mr. Aubert stated he got back in the bus and reversed it until the students arm was free. Mr. Aubert stated at this time, staff helped the injured student. The staff there helped facilitate transportation for the remaining students back to the Williams School. Mr. Aubert reported no injuries, but was concerned for the welfare of the student. After speaking with Mr. Aubert, I observed damage to the school bus and the brick support column as a result of the crash. I observed fresh damage (scrapes) to the rear passenger side of the school bus between the last passenger side window and the back of the bus. I also observed fresh damage to the brick support column. The column is a support to an overhead covering that runs from the sidewalk to the front entrance of the school. There was fresh paint transfer from the bus and a crack in the column. Pictures were taken of the damage and submitted to the IT Bureau. The travel lane where the crash took place is a one way access road that runs from Meadowbrook Road to the front of the school, and exits onto a parking lot between the Brown Middle School and the Oak Hill Middle School. I responded to the Williams School to follow up with staff there regarding this crash. All of the students that were involved in the crash had been released prior to my arrival. I spoke with the Principal of the Williams School, Ms. Ayesha Farag, Ms. Michal Shapiro (Social Worker), and Ms. Katie Costello (School Nurse) about the students on the bus. They stated no injuries were reported to them, and they notified the parents of the involved parties about the crash. They also provided me with contact information for all of the students on the bus at the time of the crash. I spoke with the three teachers that were on the bus at the time of the crash, Ms. Kimberly Andersen, Ms. Tess McLean, and Ms. Katherine O'Leary. All three teachers stated prior to the bus leaving Brown Middle School they accounted for all of the students and were ready to leave to travel back to the Williams School. One of the teachers recalled hearing the bus driver make an announcement to the bus that they were about to leave, but could not recall the exact wording of the announcement. The teachers stated as the bus began to move, they heard screaming from the rear of the bus, looked back, and saw a student's arm stuck outside the window. After realizing the student was injured, they assisted with helping to free the student from his pinned position. They helped the injured student until EMS arrived on scene. They assisted the remaining students by directing them away from the crash and onto another bus for transportation back to Williams. The three teachers reported no injuries as a result of the crash. I responded to the Newton Wellesley Hospital Pediatric Emergency Room to check on the status of the injured student, Tegan Quirk. I spoke with Tegan and his mother, Kathryn Quirk in his room. While attempting to talk to Tegan and his mother, Tegan became very upset and did not want to talk about the specifics of the crash. Out of courtesy for Tegan, I exited the room and spoke with his mother outside the room. I explained to Ms. Quirk the events of the crash, and how her son's arm became injured. I asked Ms. Quirk if she could assist me with faciliating a conversation with Tegan about the events of the crash. I explained to her I understood how traumatic the events of the crash were for her son, but as part of my investigation I would need to find out what led to Tegan's arm being outside the bus window at the time of the crash. While speaking to his mother, Tegan explained that he was waving to a friend with his arm out of the bus window when the bus started to move. Tegan stated his arm hit the column, and became stuck between the bus and the column. Tegan stated he was screaming for the bus to move and that it took forever for the bus to move so he could free his arm. Tegan stated the bus driver gave no warning to the students that the bus was going to start moving. The staff at Newton Wellesley Hospital stated Tegan has a right arm injury. The severity of the injury is unknown at this time due to further examination that needs to take place. I advised Ms. Quirk about the conversations I had with the other parties involved. I spoke with Mr. David Stickney (Head of Facilities) from the Newton Public Schools to try and obtain footage of the crash. Mr. Stickney stated unfortunately there is not footage of the crash from the Brown Middle School or Oak Hill Middle School surveillance cameras. I advised Ms. Regina Moody (Newton Public Schools Transportation Director) about the crash. Ms. Moody was able to show me footage of the incident from the camera inside the bus. In the footage, the bus driver can be heard announcing to the students prior to the bus moving, "Guys, guys, get off the seat and sit correctly". One of the teachers can be seen doing a count of the students. The teacher is heard saying to the student, "Everyone needs to be in a seat and sitting at 3 and 2 and 1 and thank you." Student are observed still standing up. The teacher is then heard saying, "sit down sit down." After the teacher passes the students in the back of the bus, she says, "We are good." to the front of the bus. Students are then observed standing after she passes. As the bus begins to back up, students can be observed standing in the rear of the bus and not sitting down on their seats. As the bus moves forward, a student (Tegan Quirk) can be seen standing on his seat and extending his right arm out of the last window on the passenger side of the bus. Screaming can then be heard as his arm makes contact with a support column on the passenger side of the bus. The bus is stopped, the driver exits the bus to asses what happend, gets back on the bus, and reverses the bus a short distance. The injured students right arm is released and he brings his arm back into the bus through the window. The amount of time between the students arm being pinned against the column to when it is released is approximately 40 seconds. After speaking with all parties involved and reviewing the footage from inside the bus, it appears that Bus #361 was pulling out of it's parked position in front of the Brown Middle School to enter the roadway and return students to the Williams School. A student that was sitting in the last row on the passenger side of the bus extended his right arm out of a window next to his seat to say goodbye to a friend. While his right arm was extended out of the rear passenger side window of the bus , the bus collided with a brick support column affixed to the sidewalk in front of the school. When the bus made contact with the column, the students right arm made contact with a brick support column and became pinned between the column and the passegner side of the bus. After the students arm was freed from it's pinned position, the student was able to bring his arm back into the school bus and was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital for a right arm injury.

At this location, there is a marked crosswalk with a walk signal along with traffic signals above in both directions. On arrival, the scene was cleared up and both parties were waiting in the parking lot of the Burke & Blackington Funeral Home at 1479 Washington Street. I spoke to the bicyclist involved who was identified as Rajmattie Thakoordeen. I asked her what occurred and she stated that she was attempting to cross Washington Street in a southerly direction on her electric bicycle. She says that she pushed for the crosswalk signal to activate and once it did she began riding her bicycle when she was suddenly struck by a silver Saab 93. She made it out in to the crosswalk approximately four feet when she was struck by the Saab which was travelling westbound in the right lane of Washington Street. She says that she was struck on the left side of her leg area. She complained of her left leg being sore near her knee area but signed a patient refusal with Fallon Ambulance declining transport. At the time, she was riding a Rad Power Bike Roadrunner 1 Plus that is silver and black in color. It is a Class 2 electric bicycle (750W) that can go up to 20 m.p.h. The only damage it sustained was scrapes to the outside left pedal. Ms. Thakoordeen was wearing black/gray/white pants, yellow reflective jacket, and a black bicycle helmet at the time. Next, I spoke to the operator of the Saab 93 bearing RI registration # FN193. He was identified as Nevan Hanumara with Rhode Island Driver's License # 9960501. He stated that he was travelling westbound on Washington Street in the right travel lane when he came around the curve and noticed the red light signal above in the last second. He says by the time he reacted and attempted to stop he went through the red light and made contact with the bicyclist in the crosswalk. He reported no injuries and no damage to his vehicle. Due to his statement and inattention to the traffic signal, I issued him MA Uniform Citation # 168985AB for Chapter 89/9 Fail to Stop/Yield for the red traffic signal. Digital photos were taken of the scene.

On 02/01/22 at 14:45 hours, I responded to 1025 Walnut St for a reported city motor vehicle crash involving a student transportation van and another vehicle. The weather at the time was 32 degrees and cloudy. The road surface was wet from a recent heavy snowfall. On arrival, I spoke to the operator of Vehicle # 1 identified as Gary Moresco (MA D/L # S26008460). He was working for JSC Transportation Services Inc. who provides transportation for City of Newton students. At the time of the crash he was transporting a student (Christopher Manthei) from Dearborn Academy back to his residence. He was operating a 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan color white bearing MA Pupils reg. # 104232. I asked him for his version of events and he stated that traffic was moderate at the time and he was heading westbound on Walnut Street. Next, he says that he stopped due to Vehicle # 2 stopping in front of him. Vehicle # 2 then started moving and suddenly came to a stop again. He was then not able to stop in time. He then struck the rear end of Vehicle # 2 causing front end damage to the entire length of the car which included the bumper, grille, and hood area. Mr. Moresco reported no injuries along with the student (Manthei). Manthei was checked out by Fallon Ambulance personnel and his mother signed a patient refusal on his behalf. The mother, Jennifer Manthei, then took her son home. Operator of Vehicle # 2 was identified as Lynn Slobodin (MA D/L # S98417005). She was operating a gray 2015 Toyota Rav4 bearing MA reg. # 3EB379. A passenger with her who was sitting in the front passenger seat was identified as Julia Hass. I asked Ms. Slodobin what had occurred and she stated that she was traveling westbound on Walnut Street and a vehicle in front of her suddenly stopped. She then stopped her vehicle and that is when she was rear ended by the Dodge. Her Toyota sustained rear end damage to the trunk and entire bumper area. Ms. Slobodin complained of head and neck pain along with pain on the top of her right thigh. Ms. Hass complained of head and neck pain also. Both were checked out by Fallon Ambulance personnel and they signed patient refusals. While investigating the crash, Ofc. Colella stated to me that a witness approached him identified as Brenda Noel. Ms. Noel resides at the crash location. She stated to Ofc. Colella that once she heard the crash she came out and saw the operator of the Dodge Grand Caravan on his phone. She says that he was holding the phone up to his head with his right hand. I then asked Mr. Moresco (Dodge operator) if he was on his phone prior to the crash and he replied that he was not. He then showed me his call log after asking for it and it showed only one entry at 14:53 hours. He states he was reporting the accident to his employer at that time. There were no other entries in his call log. Next, I looked at the front of Mrs. Noel's residence and observed a camera to the right of her doorway. I then knocked on her door and inquired about possible footage of the crash and she stated only her husband knows how to work the system. I then asked her again what she had seen. She states that once she heard the crash take place she saw the operator of the Dodge holding up his right hand to his head. She stated that she never saw an actual phone. I then gave her my information to call me regarding possible footage. She then called back later and stated that the camera does not show anything. Photos taken of the scene and submitted to the I.T.

On 03/08/22 at 14:57 hours, N494 and I Traffic Unit # 523 responded to the Horace Mann School located at 225 Nevada St. for a two car motor vehicle accident involving one of the operator's being struck. The accident occurred on Nevada St. just past a driveway of the Horace Mann School approaching the intersection of Nevada St and Linwood Ave. The weather at the time was sunny/clear and the road conditions were dry. School dismissal is at 14:50 hours and for approximately ten minutes Nevada Street is very congested with vehicles parked on both sides of the street. On arrival, I spoke to the operator of M/V # 2 identified as James Rice (MA D/L # S83251000). Mr. Rice's vehicle is a 2012 Ford Escape color white bearing MA reg. # 6725ZA. The Ford Escape was parked just past a school driveway facing southbound in a legal parking spot. He says he was picking up his child from the school. He further states that he looked and thought it was clear to open his door. He then opened his door and put his left foot and left arm out attempting to exit the vehicle when it was struck by M/V # 1. M/V # 1 struck the outer edge of the door and Mr. Rice's left elbow was also struck during the collision. Mr. Rice complained of left arm pain so Officer Boudreau had Fallon Ambulance respond to the scene. Rice then signed a patient refusal with them. Also inside the vehicle at the time of the crash was his son, Charger Rice. His son was seated and secured in a car seat in the second row of the driver's side of the Ford Escape. There was no injuries reported for him. I observed a crease to the outside edge of his driver's side door. Mr. Rice also stated to me that the crossing guard told him the other operator was speeding before the crash going approximately 25 miles per hour. Next, I spoke to the operator of M/V # 1 identified as Olga Kulakova (MA D/L# S63003743). She was operating a 2015 Infiniti QX60 color black bearing MA reg. # 5TJ151 at the time. Ms. Kulakova states that she was parked approximately twenty five feet back from the crash location also picking up her daughter from the school. After doing the pickup, she then proceeded out in to roadway going southbound on Nevada St. As she was approaching M/V # 2, she says the operator suddenly opened their door and she was not able to react in time striking his car door. She did not believe she ever struck the operator though. No injuries were reported. I observed white paint scrape marks to both her passenger side doors and the side view mirror was also damaged. I then spoke to the crossing guard assigned to the intersection of Nevada St. and Linwood Ave. The guard Jack Boudreau is employed through the City of Newton. I asked him what had occurred with the crash. He stated that he had his back turned away from the crash location when it occurred. He heard the collision which made him turn around. He then motioned for the driver of the Infiniti to pull over and stop. I asked him if he ever saw the Infiniti driving prior to the crash and he stated that he did not. I then inquired about the supposed speeding comment that he made to Mr. Rice regarding the Infiniti. He stated that he never said that to him. Digital photos were taken of the scene and submitted to the I.T. Bureau.
