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.

Veh #1 was stopped on Needham St. at Columbia Ave red light, when veh #2 hit her from behind. Operator of veh #1 complained she hit her head on the back rest and wrist on steering wheel. She was evaluated by Amb #1 but signed a patient refusal and declined to go to the hospital. Minor damage to rear of veh #1. The operator of veh #2 stated he was stopped behind veh #1 at the red light when his foot slipped off. He then struck the gas instead of the brake. The operator was cited in hand Mass# T1441206-Failure to use care in stopping. No visible damage to veh #2.

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.

On Wednesday, January 16th 2019, at approximately 3:30pm, I, Officer Brooks, responded to a single car MVA in the area of 611 Watertown street. Upon my arrival Cataldo medics were treating the operator of MV1(MA REG 159EF6) for a diabetic issue. I spoke with a witness to the accident who did not wish to leave their information. The witness stated they were traveling westbound on Watertown street behind MV1, when it suddenly left the roadway to the right, striking the curb, before returning to the roadway and stopping. The witness stated that MV1 nearly missed a fire hydrant and a utility pole on the sidewalk. MV1 had a flat front passenger side tire, and minor scrapes on the body. I spoke with the medics who were still treating the operator for her diabetic issue. I observed the operator was in and out of consciousness, and unable to speak about the accident. It took several minutes for the operator to regain her consciousness, however she was still not able to answer simple questions coherently and was transported to Newton Wellesley hospital for further evaluation. MV1 was towed from the scene by Tody's, and an inventory form was filed and submitted. The area the crash occured was a high pedestrian traffic area, and both an elementary and middle school are within walking distance of the accident. An immediate threat form was filled out and filed for the operator of MV1.

MA commercial reg M94754 (vehicle #1), a City of Newton pickup/sander truck, was located crashed over the curb in front of 1970 Beacon St. The vehicle was unoccupied, had the keys in the ignition, and was reported stolen just a few minutes prior to discovery. The reporting party of the stolen truck and uninvolved occupant is identified as City DPW worker George Sementelli. The witness/passerby who discovered the collision is also a DPW worker, identified as Donny Brandt. Pursuant to an investigation outlined in incident #19002213, the operator at the time of the crash was determined to be Michael Carter. It is believed that Carter stole the vehicle from 295 Auburn St, fled the area, and ultimately crashed in front of 1970 Beacon St. Corroborating facts outlined in the incident report put Carter as the operator. The vehicle itself was located partially on the sidewalk and partially on the road, therefore Carter is being cited with MGL 89/4A - Marked Lanes Violation (T1268423). Due to the fact it is believed that Carter fled the scene after the crash, MGL 90/24/C - Leaving the Scene of Property Damage was added as well as MGL 90/23/D Operating After a Suspended LIcense, and MGL 90/24/O - Reckless Operation of a Motor Vehicle. The crash occurred during busy weekday commuting about 0.7 miles from Angier Elementary School. The last 3 charges mentioned have been listed on a second citation (T1268422). Officer Brooks also issued T0648082 for OUI Drugs MGL 90/24/G. See the incident report for details about this charge. In total, there are (3) citations issued to Carter. The vehicle sustained heavy front end damage. It should be noted that the utility pole a couple of houses down from the crash site (Beacon/Varick Rd, pole #212) sustained fresh, minor superficial damage, consistent with the vehicle crashing into it before verring onto the sidewalk. Pictures have been taken and submitted to the IT bureau. Tody's responded and towed the vehicle to the police garage for processing due to the pending other criminal charges involved in this accident/incident. Michael Carter was subsequently placed under arrest and his citations have been placed into his property. Carter suffered a hand injury due to the crash an was transported to NWH Hospital for an evaluation after he was booked.

On the above date/time I responded to the area 2000 Washington Street Newton -Wellesley - Hospital for a two motor vehicle crash on the 3rd floor of the parking garage. Upon arrival I met with the operator of vehicle one, she stated she was pulling into a parking spot and applied the brakes but due to the ice on the roadway and slope of the roadway her vehicle slid into the rear of vehicle two which was parked. Vehicle two was unoccupied, and dispatch tried to get in contact with the owner to advise them. I also left a message with NWH in case the owner comes back in. No injuries and I advised of the process. Later in the day the owner vehicle two came to NPD, I gave him vehicle one inforamtion and advised him of the process.

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

The OP. of MV#1 states she has been having issues with controlling her right leg recently and went to Newton-Wellesley Hospital today to precisely see her doctor about it. As she was pulling up to stop for the Valet, her leg hit the gas pedal instead of the brakes. She steered around pedestrians, went up on the curb, through a frozen snow mound before managing to stop on a roadway towards the other hospital buildings. The OP. of MV#1 understands that she shouldn't be driving for the time being. Immediate Threat Form was faxed to the Driver Control Unit.

The operator of Vehicle #1, identified as Ms.Erzsebet Piros, stated that she took a left turn from Walnut St onto Washington St prior to the colliding with Ms. Kim Nguyen. She further stated that she did not see the pedestrian prior to hearing the collision. Her passenger, identified as Ms. Amy Torres, was sitting in the front passenger seat. She stated a similar account, and did not see the pedestrian prior to the collision. Neither party complained of injury, when asked. A witness, Ms. John Angelucci, was travelling in his vehicle, in the lane next to Ms. Piros. He stated that he only heard the collision, and couldn't see it due to vehicle lights, and the falling rain. The pedestrian, Ms. Kim Nguyen, stated that she attempted to cross the street, when she did not see any cars coming. She stated that she didn't see Vehicle #1 approaching until it was too late to get out of the way. It should be noted that Ms. Nguyen was not attempting to cross inside of a crosswalk, and was wearing dark colored/Navy Blue clothing. Ms. Nguyen was transported to Beth-Israel Hospital, and was communicating effectively prior to transport. Pictures of the scene, and damage to the vehicle were taken, and sent to IT for entry.

MV1 operator states he was driving around the Newton Corner Rotary and approached the merge at the beginning of the bridge to change lanes to head towards Waltham/Watertown, when MV2 collided with his vehicle. Damage was observed on the front passenger door. No injuries reported. MV2 operator states she was driving on Washington St and approached the merge at the beginning of the bridge to change lanes and head onto the Mass Pike W-Bound, when MV1 collided with her vehicle. Damage was observed on the front drivers side bumper. MV2 operator reported having whiplash but signed a medical refusal and was not transported to the hospital. I then cleared without further incident. The main crash factor was due to the weather being a heavy rain storm at night. It should be noted there is a yield sign facing MV1s incoming direction.

Operator 1 states she was stopped in traffic Northbound on Cypress St when she was struck from behind by vehicle 2. Vehicle 2 states he was stopped in traffic on Cypress St behind vehicle 1. Vehicle 2 was struck from behind by vehicle 3 which pushed vehicle 2 into vehicle 1. Operator 3 states she was traveling Northbound on Cypress St approaching other vehicles stopped in traffic. Operator 3 started to apply her brakes; however, due to the rain and wet roadway her vehicle started to slide as if she had no brakes.Vehicle 3 slid into vehicle 2 and vehicle 2 struck vehicle 1. Vehicles 2 and 3 sustained moderate damage and vehicle 1 sustained minor damage. Operator 2 was transported to Newton-Wellesley Hospital with neck pain.

Vehicle 1 was parked unoccupied in the employee parking lot of Newton Wellesley Hospital when it was hit by Vehicle 2. The operator of vehicle 2 stated she was correcting her parking job and tried to back up, but the car was actually in drive and not reverse. the car drove forward hitting vehicle 1 going over a curb and hit a tree a few feet past the curb. This caused minor damage to Vehicle 1 and major front end damage to Vehicle 2 as well as front air bag deployment. Since this occurred on hospital grounds the operator of vehicle 2 walked herself to the ER for precautionary reasons and was cleared. Vehicle 2 remained in the parking area for a private tow company.

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.

Coston stated he was unable to come to the station to file the report until September 8, 2019. On Friday, September 13, 2019, I spoke with Gedeon Duarte at the Newton Police Department. Duarte stated he spoke Portuguese and did not speak English. With the assistance of David Sargent from the Language Line (1-800-225-5254) translating, I was to speak with Mr. Duarte in the Traffic Bureau. Duarte stated he was making a delivery at Whole Foods and was waiting for another truck to leave so he could leave the area. Duarte stated a male party (Coston) came up to his driver door and was yelling him. Duarte stated that due to language barrier he was unable to understand what the person was saying to him, but stated the male party was yelling, "Fuck you! Fuck you!" Duarte stated he did not know what was going on and stated he left the area to allow the male party to calm down. Duarte stated he returned a minute later the male party did not want to speak with him. Duarte stated he returned a second time later in the morning and Coston was not there. Duarte stated he received a call from his employer stating Kevin Coston had called for him and he was provided with Coston's phone number. Duarte stated he texted Coston to find out what happened that morning. Duarte showed me a text message exchange from August 23, 2019 at 9:03 A.M. between himself and a party listed as "Kevin Whole". In the text messages, Duarte stated he is the driver of the van and that his supervisor called him. The other party responded and stated "Talk to the police and my lawyer". Duarte stated that he did not understand what happened and that he returned to whole foods. Duarte ended the text exchange with "927535425 my number of policy..." Duarte stated he had no idea he made contact with Coston and stated at the time of the alleged accident he did not hear/see/feel anything otherwise he would have stopped. Duarte's information has been updated in this report to reflect him as the operator/vehicle involved. Duarte also submitted pictures of the rear of his vehicle, a 2008 black Ford E350 (MA: 8NY171), from the day of the accident. Photos were submitted to the IT Bureau. Officer Wade went to the Whole Foods located at 916 Walnut Street, Newton in an attempt to view surveillance footage of the accident. Officer Wade stated the surveillance camera did not capture the incident and the van not viewed at all.

On September 16, 2019 at approximately 17:50 hours I, Officer Guarino, responded to the area of 749 Beacon St. for a report of a motor vehicle crash involving a bicycle. Upon arrival with other units, we determined that MV 1 was parked in front of 749 Beacon St.The operator of MV1 opened the door to her vehicle to exit and her door struck a passing bicyclist. Traffic on Beacon St. westbound was stopped, the bicyclist fell off of the bicycle and sustained injuries and was transported to Newton-Wellesley Hospital for further evaluation.As the bicyclist was falling, he struck the rear of MV2, which did not appear to have any damage. The operator of MV1 said she did not see the bicyclist, as she went to exit her vehicle. Witness 1, who was stopped in traffic said that the bicyclist was traveling at a high speed and understood how MV1 did not see the bicycle coming. Officer D. Siegal transported the bicycle to the Newton Police Department and secured it in support services.

The operator of MV1 states that she was traveling northbound on Needham Street with flow of traffic when she struck a pedestrian with the right front corner of her vehicle. The operator of MV1 stated that she did not see the pedestrian in the cross walk until after she hit her and that there was poor lighting in the area. Through the help of coworker from Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza, the victim stated that she was crossing Needham Street in the crosswalk and was almost on the side walk when she was struck by MV1 from behind. MV1 sustained minor front end damage while the victim sustained noticeable injuries and was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital by Cataldo. Photographs of the scene were taken and submitted to IT to be attached to the report. The operator of MV1 was issued a Massachusetts Uniform Citation (T2079284) for 89-11, failure to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk.

The OP. of MV#1 states he was in a parking space and trying to correct his position within the lines. He pulled out and then when he was about to drive forward, MV#2 suddenly reversed into him. The OP. of MV#2 states she was exiting the parking lot due to it being full. As she was driving forward, MV#1 pulled out of a spot and collided into her. There is supposedly a witness by the name of Jean Charles working for VPNE Valet that observed the accident. He has left for the day and does not have a cell phone or a house phone. Manager on duty states only corporate headquarters 617-451-1393 has information on him. I checked with hospital security for surveillance footage and observed MV#2 passing MV#1. MV#1 then started backing out of his space but MV#2 started reversing. Both vehicles ended up colliding with each other at an angle. Director of Public Safety Ashley will make footage available at insurance request. 617-243-6478 (Footage starts around 2:41PM)

MV #1 was traveling southbound on Lexington St. just passing Rumford Ave. when the operator suffered a medical emergency and collided with the curb causing the passenger side tire to rupture. MV #1 then rolled forward slightly colliding into the rear bumper of MV #2 (unknown if it caused new damage). MV #2 was parked, unoccupied facing southbound on Lexington St. MV #1 was towed from the scene and the operator of MV #1 was transported to the hospital. The owner of MV #2 was made aware of the incident.

Katerina Iliades stated that on 10/23/2019 at 11:56 hours she was standing in front of the rear driver's side door of her vehicle MA reg 7BM656 2019 Land Rover while it was parked facing north in front of 316 Walnut St. Walnut St is a public way in the city of Newton. Iliades stated that she was placing her daughter Melina Bichelen in her car seat and when she observed MA reg 8EP212 a white Subaru Outback driving north bound on Walnut St near the marked crosswalk at 312 Walnut St. Iliades stated that she observed the Subaru was being operated by an elderly white male. Iliades stated that the she observed the Subaru's front drivers side strike several orange plastic three foot poles that are affixed to the roadway around the crosswalk. Iliades stated that after the Subaru struck the poles at the crosswalk it veered towards her. Iliades stated that she leaned back into the back seat of her vehicle and pulled the door towards herself as the Subaru's passenger side mirror made conact with her vehicle. Iliades stated that the Subaru continued north bound on Walnut St without stopping or slowing. Iliades complained of lower leg pain and refused medical aid or transport to a hospital at the crash scene. I observed no damage or markings on Iliades vehicle. MA reg 8EP212 is registered to Harilaos Papadogiannis ( DOB 01/02/1941 ) of 134 Apt 4 North St , Newton. I went to 134 North St and found MA reg 8EP212 a 2014 Subaru parked in the lot of 134 North St. I observed that the Subaru's passenger side mirror was lose from it's mounting and was turned down and was facing the wrong way. I further observed that the out side casing of the Subaru's mirror had scuff marks consistent with it forcefully making contact with an other object. I spoke with Papadogiannis who stated that he was driving his Subaru north bound on Walnut St at 11:56 hours on 10/23/2019. Papadogiannis stated that he could only recall striking the plastic poles near the crosswalk and nothing else regarding the crash. I as spoke with Papadogiannis he was confused and I had to repeat myself and my questions to him several times. I instructed Papadogiannis what steps he needs to take regarding filing out an operator crash report and contacting his insurance provider , but I believe that he did not fully comprehend what I was conveying to him. Based upon my observations at the crash seen and my conversations with Iliades and Papadogiannis , I believe that Papadogiannis was at fault for the crash. Based upon my observations of Papadogiannis I filed an Immediate Threat Request form and faxed it to the MA RMV Driver Control Unit. Photos of both vehicles were taken and downloaded by the NPD's IT Bureau.

I was dispatched to 854 Beacon St, Newton, MA for an overturned motor vehicle accident. I arrived on scene and saw Vehicle #1 (MA reg 9AS213) overturned on its driver's side with the female operator/registered owner trapped inside. Newton Fire arrived on scene and mechanically removed the operator out of the motor vehicle. Prior to where Vehicle #1 was overturned I observed Vehicle #2 (MA reg 615FF6) with rear bumper damage and a snapped rear axle. Vehicle #2 was unoccupied. Operator of Vehicle #1 was transported to Newton-Wellesley Hospital for treatment by Newton Medics. Both motor vehicles were towed by Tody's and inventory sheets were completed and filed. I spoke with the Operator of Vehicle #1 at Newton-Wellesley Hospital. Operator stated that she does not remember what happened before the crash and that she only remembers waking up in her car. I told her that her car was towed and a report is on file. Ofc Selig spoke with the registered owner of Vehicle #2 and notified her of the incident. Based on my investigation it appears that Vehicle #1 struck the rear of Vehicle #2 and the operator over steered causing the vehicle to overturn onto the driver's side.

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.

MV#1 was traveling North on Fair Oaks Ave, and attempted to make a right turn onto California St. MV#2 was parked in front of 589 California St facing West. MV#1 appeared to have run over the curb at the intersection, hit a city tree in front of 55 Fair Oaks Ave (California St side), and then crashed into MV#2. When I arrived on scene I observed a male party with blood on his head, and another male party standing next to him, later identified as Elmer Lopez.. I asked Elmer which car he was driving, and he stated that he was in MV#1. I asked Elmer what happened, and he stated that he and the other man with him, identified as Ricardo Deras, were in the rear seat with another male party, and that there were two other parties in the front seat, one of them was driving, he was not able to provide me with a name of who was driving. I asked him where everyone else was, and Elmer stated that after the crash, the got out of the car and ran away. At this point, medics arrived on scene and began to tend to Ricardo. I next spoke with the owner of MV#2, Jim Silva. Jim stated that he was in his home when he heard a loud crash. Jim stated that he came out of the house in time to witness the two males I was speaking with looking at the car, and he also stated that he observed three parties walk away from the scene, two heading east on California St, and one heading north on Fair Oaks Ave. MV#1 and MV#2 were towed off scene by Todys. Due to the scene, and the location of the cars in a busy street, I was not able to do a MV inventory of MV#1 until after it was towed by Todys. The inventory was done at Todys Service station, and a MV inventory sheet was filled out and placed the in appropriate box. I took three pictures of the damaged tree and submitted them to IT to be attached to this report. While I was taking the pictures of the tree, two males were walking past the scene. I stopped both parties and questioned them about the incident. They stated that they had been in the car, but had not been driving. I asked them if the knew who the driver was, and they told me that they did not know the name of the driver. Due to no witnesses observing the driver and all parties stating that it was someone else, I was not able to determine a driver of the vehicle. Units checked the area for the fifth party in the vehicle with negative results. Ricardo was transported to NWH hospital by medics. All other parties were sent on their way. All units cleared without further incident. **UPDATE** On Nov 25, 2019 at approximately 1621 hrs, I contacted Westborough Police Department in an attempt to get a hold of Dora. Westborough informed me that they made an attempt to contact her with negative results. Westborough PD left my contact information for her to call me back.

On 11/30/2019, while assigned to N494, I, Officer Conary, and other units, responded to Charlesbank Road at Nonantum Road for a single motor vehicle crash into a tree. Upon arrival, I observed a white mini van MA registration 5DV184 with heavy front end damage into a tree on Charlesbank Road, a public way in Newton. The operator of the motor vehicle, CORDERO, Ericka, was sitting in the back seat of the vehicle and was talking on the phone. CORDERO's primary language was Spanish. I asked CORDERO if she was okay and she said yes and I asked CORDERO if she was driving the car and she said yes. CORDERO also told me that she did not have a license. MA State Police were on scene and were able to asist with translating. Medics arrived and CORDERO was transported to Saint Elizabeth's Hospital.

On 12/19/2019 at 14:43 hours Newton Police dispatch received numerous phone calls about a white male whose face was covered in blood and was riding on an electric motorized scooter south bound on Walnut St near number 100. Walnut St is a public way in the city of Newton. Approximately two tenths of a mile south 100 Walnut St, Ofc Garcia stopped the male on the scooter. Ofc Garcia stated that the male on the scooter was evasive when answering his questions and claimed that he did not realize that his face was covered in blood. The male on the scooter was identified as Gregory David Brown. Brown was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital for treatment. Prior to Brown being transported I was dispatched to the area of 100 Walnut St for a report of a male on an scooter who had crashed into a south bound vehicle in traffic on Walnut St and another vehicle that was parked in front of number 73. Upon my arrival I spoke with Penni Rochwerger and Nikita Espinal. Rochwerger stated that she was driving south bound on Walnut St across from 100 when she activated her vehicle's four way flasher and stopped her vehicle to let Espinal who was the front seat passenger out. Rochwerger stated that south bound traffic stopped behind her vehicle after she came to a stop adjacent to Espinal vehicle that was parked facing south in front of 73 Walnut St. Espinal stated that she checked over her right should to see if it was clear to open her door and it was . Espinal stated that as she opened her door to exit a male on scooter crashed into the door and fell to the ground. Both Rochwerger and Espinal stated that the male on the scooter did not provide his name or address and continued south bound on Walnut St with his face coved in blood. Rochwerger's vehicle sustained damage to the front passenger side door that would not closed all the way. Espinal vehicle also had damage to it, the rear driver's side lower quarter panel was struck. I responded to Newton Wellesley Hospital to speak with Brown. When I arrived and spoke with Brown he was evasive with his answers . When I asked Brown what had happened he gave conflicting answers and contradicted himself. Brown stated that he was riding his scooter on the roadway south bound on Walnut St be could not recall any other details. When I asked Brown if he was wearing a helmet as required by MGL 90/1E he stated he couldn't recall. Rochwerger, Espinal and Ofc Garcia all stated to me that they did not see Brown wearing a hamlet. There was an unconfirmed post by a person named Tricia Marucci to the Facebook group Newton Parents stating that at 14:45 hours on 12/19/2019 saw Brown hitting a defect in the roadway in the area of Crafts St by California St that caused him to loses control of his scooter and fall face first onto the pavement. In her post Marucci stated that Brown was cover in blood from facial lacerations, and that he refused medical aid and continued to ride his scooter south bound towards the entrance to Walnut St. I left a message for Marucci to contact me and as of the writing of this report she has yet to do so. While at the hospital I ran Brown's name and date of birth via the MA RMV data base in order to issue him a citation for not wearing a helmet. The query of Brown via the MA RMV data base reviled that Brown's MA driver's license statutes was suspended. On 07/11/2018 admitted to a finding of sufficient facts to one count of MGL 90/24 OUI liquor. Brown received a Continued With Out Finding for 18 months.

Both vehicles sustained major damage and airbag deployment and were towed from the scene by Tody's. Due to the high rate of speed of the crash and air bag deployment, the operator of MV1 was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital to be evaluated. It should be noted that prior to the reported crash there was a 911 call regarding a white sedan traveling at a high rate of speed going through numerous traffic signals and signs in a densely populated neighborhood with narrow streets. After the crash several more 911 calls were received stating that a vehicle traveling at an excessive rate of speed just crashed into a parked vehicle.

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.

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.

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.

Ch. 90 Sec. 24/E (MV, Negligent operation). 3. Ch. 90 Sec 24/J (OUI, Liquor). See incident #21016286 for further review.

On Thursday 4/8/21 at approximately 0728 hours while assigned to marked unit n499 I was dipatched to the parking lot of Seasons 52 (220 Boylston St) for a report of a motor vehicle crash with minor injuries. Upon arrival I spoke with the operator (KRAUSE Liza) of MV#1 (Mazda CX-5). KRAUSE states she pulled into the parking lot from rte9 EB and was travelling straight when she observed a dump truck about to enter her lane of travel from the left. KRAUSE states she blew her horn, but the dump truck coninued on striking her vehicle on the drivers side rear. Impact from the collision caused significant damage to the drivers side of the vehicle in addition to deploying the side air bags in her vehicle. KRAUSE was evaluated by medics and refused transport to the hospital. She states she is uninjured just shaken up. Secondly, I spoke with the operator (BENNETT Paul A Jr) of MV#2 (KW Dump Truck). BENNETT states he was following another dump truck through the parking lot to the back exit on Florence Street to deliver asphalt to a construction job. In front of Seasons 52 he states he stopped at the stop sign and proceeded through unaware that MV#1 was in front of him striking the MV on the drivers side. There was no damage to the dump truck other than some marks on the front bumper. Motor vehicle crash occurred in a parking lot containing many stores, restaurants and a supermarket (Wegmans). Where the crash occurred was in front of Seasons 52 at a stop sign. At the stop sign is an island angled in such a manner to push vehicles to stay to the right and not make any turns. However, there are no signs displaying turning restrictions. The dump truck attempted to cross over the main entrance from rte9 to the parking lot containing the tent for SoulCycle and exit through the back of the parking lot. Vehicles entering from rte 9 do not have a stop sign and have the right of way to travel straight upon entry.

MV1 stated she was travelling n/b on Adams St when she "bent over for a snack" subsequently rear ending MV2 (parked). MV1 sustained heavy front end damage and was removed from the scene by Tody's. Operator of MV1 was transported by Fallon Ambulance to St Elizabeth's Hospital complaining of leg pain. MV2 sustained significant rear end damage, however was operable.

MV#1 Was parked in the East side entrance parking garage when it was struck by an unknown vehicle. Uninvolved owner stated she parked the vehicle in the garage at approximately 1120Hrs and when she returned at approximately 1810Hrs she noticed damage to the left side of her vehicle. Should be noted there was a note left on the vehicle stating a Red Mazda MA REG#552GY2 possibly struck her vehicle. Due to the white scratch marks on the vehicle I don't think this is the vehicle that was involved. Traffic Bureau update (Officer Gaudet): I attempted to make contact with the registered owner of MA: 552GH2 (Mr. Franics Nolan, S60053602) with a negative result. A "Hit and Run" inquiry was mailed to Mr. Nolan. On Friday, April 30, 2021, I spoke with Mr. Nolan via telephone. Mr. Nolan stated that he was at Newton Wellesley Hospital on the day of the crash, but does not believe he was involved in a crash. I asked him to check his vehicle to see if there was any fresh damage. Mr. Nolan stated there was no damage to his vehicle. Mr. Nolan stated he parked in a Handicap parking spot on the second floor and there were not cars around him. No further action will be taken.

On 4/24/2021 at approx 0756 I responded to NWH west parking lot for a report of a past hit and run. Upon arrival i was met by reporting party , Scott Dragonetti who stated he and his wife Jennifer Dragonetti had parked their car on Wednesday 4/21/2021 at approx 1315hrs to go have their baby. Upon returning to the car today Scott found front left damage to his car consistent with somebody backing out of the space next to him. The car had minor creasing and white paint transfer on the front left with damage to the lens covers. NWH security stated to Scott they would check for security footage and relay advise if they found anything. Scott was contacted by NWH security on 4/25/2021that they had footage of the hit and run. I contacted NWH upon my return to work on 4/27/2021 and left a message with NWH Security to forward the footage to my work email. Traffic Bureau update (Officer Gaudet): On Friday, April 30, 2021 I responded to Newton Wellesley Hospital to try and retrieve the survellance footage they have capturing the crash. Security Staff there stated there was a miscommunication and they actually do not have any footage of the crash. At this time, there is no information on the vehicle that left the scene.

On Friday, May 7, 2021, while assigned to Traffic unit N525, I responded to the area of Colby Road for a report of a crash involving a City of Newton owned vehicle. The weather at the time of the crash was clear and sunny. The road surface was dry. I spoke with Mr. Michael Sanford from the City of Newton Water Department. Mr. Sanford stated his City of Newton owned vehicle (2013 Ford F-250 (MA MVN: M88493) was parked unoccupied (S) in front of 497 Centre Street, Newton. Mr. Sanford stated his emergency lights were on while he was marking out a service. Mr. Sanford stated he then observed a white 2005 Ford Ecowagon (MA CON: L61558) travel past his vehicle South on Centre Street and make contact with his driver side door mirror. Mr. Sanford stated the vehicle continued down Centre Street and he followed it to Rochester Road where is came to a stop. I observed damage to the driver door mirror. I spoke with the operator of MV2, Ms. Jerrie Spencer (S12241050). Ms. Spencer stated she knew she made contact with MV1's driver door mirror, but was trying to make it to her appointment at the Faulkner Hospital and that is why she did not immediately pull over. I observed damage to the front passenger side door mirror. Ms. Spencer was provided with Massachusetts Uniform Citation 994181AA for Chapter 89, Section 4A (Marked Lanes Violation). Centre Street is a public way maintained by the City of Newton. Photos were taken of both vehicles and submitted to the IT Bureau.

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. From pass reports Foley has used Harris Cycles at 1351 Washington St Newton, and the law firm of Jason and Fisher at 47 Winter St Boston as contact locations.

The OP. of MV#1 stated while traveling westbound on Washington Street, just passing Beacon Street, his vehicle suddenly struck a curb and he lost control of the vehicle. He ended up on the lawn of the Northland Building at 2150 Washington Street. Based on the accident scene, its appears that MV#1 went over the median on Washington Street, took down a city sign, hit the corner of Neshobe Road and the driveway into 2150 Washington Street which formed a ramp that launched his vehicle into the air. MV#1 spun around somehow and was now facing eastbound before the rear of the vehicle was wedged between a tree and a mound of dirt. Final resting position of MV#1 is approx. 250 feet from the median first struck. The operator of MV1 was transported to Newton-Wellesley Hospital for a head laceration and other unknown injures. Vehicle was towed from the scene by todys with major damage all over the vehicle. After reviewing surveillance video, the OP. of MV#1 was mailed MA. citation #T2014846 for violation of MGL Ch 89 Sec 4A - "Marked lanes violation" and Ch 90 Sec 17 - "Speed greater than reasonable."

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.

On Monday, May 17, 2021 I responded to the parking lot entrance of the Avalon at Chestnut Hill (160 Boylston Street, Newton) for a report of a motor vehicle/pedestrian crash. The weather at the time of the crash was clear and sunny. The road surface was dry. Boylston Street is a public way in the City of Newton. I spoke with the operator of MV1, Mr. Joshua Champion (SA1310472). Mr. Champion stated he was operating his 2013 Lincoln MKS (MA: VT41980) while attempting to exit the Avalon parking lot at the Boylston Street (E) off ramp. Mr. Champion stated he was monitoring the traffic to merge and as he started to make his right turn his vehicle crashed into the left side of a pedestrian in the roadway. Mr. Champion stated he did not see the pedestrian as he was making his turn. I observed no damage to the area where the pedestrian made contact with the car. Photos were taken and submitted to the IT Bureau. The injured pedestrian, Mrs. Joan Contompasis, stated she was walking on Boylston Street (W) with her husband. Mrs. Contompasis stated she entered the roadway from off the sidewalk to cross the Avalon parking lot exit and continue on Boylston Street. Mrs. Contompasis stated she believed MV1 had stopped to allow her and her husband to cross. Mrs. Contompasis stated the vehicle then accelerated and it's front passenger side bumper area crashed into her left side. Mrs. Contompasis fell to the roadway. Mrs. Contompasis was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital for injuries to her right foot and knee. I spoke with a witness to the crash, Mr. Michl Contompasis. Mr.Contompasis stated he was walking with his wife Joan on Boylston Street (W). Mr. Contompasis stated he was walking just ahead of his wife as they crossed the Avalon at Chestnut Hill exit at Rt. 9. Mr. Contompasis stated he observed a black sedan to his left as he crossed. Mr. Contompasis stated he believed the operator was not paying attention as he exited the parking lot and the vehicle accelerated into his wife's left side.

On Monday, May 31, 2021 at approximately 00:40hrs I, Officer Daly, along with Officer Kayla Donahue responded to a motor vehicle accident. We found the vehicles on Washington Street by Park Street. Upon arrival I observed both of the involved motor vehicles pulled off to the side of Washington Street by Park Street. I spoke with the operator of MV1 who said he was stopped at the red light when he was hit from behind by MV2. I spoke with the operator of MV2 who said she was traveling Eastbound on Washington Street traveling approximately 20mph. Operator of MV2 said she began pressing down on her breaks due to the red light but said her car continued to slide and would not stop. Operator of MV2 said it was at this point her car collided with MV1. It should be noted it was raining throughout the day and it drizzling at the time of the accident causing the roadways to be wet and slippery. Both MV1 and MV2 were towed away from the scene by Tody's. Both of the operators retrieved their valuables from their vehicles prior to the vehicles being towed away. Both of the operators did not sustain any injuries. The passenger of MV1 began feeling ill while on scene and was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital by Fallon Medics.

Operator of Motor Vehicle #1 stated that she was exiting the Newton Wellesley Hospital West entrance and was taking a right turn Eastbound onto Washington Street and did not see motor vehicle # 2. Motor vehicle #1 struck motor vehicle #2 at the rear passenger side door and rear passengers side quarter panel causing moderate damage. Motor vehicle # 1 sustained moderate front end damage. Operator of Motor Vehicle #2 stated that she was traveling Eastbound on Washington Street and was struck by motor vehicle #1 as she was attempting to turn on Washington Street. All parties signed a medical refusal forms and reported no injuries. All units cleared without further incident.

On Sunday June 13, 2021 at approximately 1933 hours I was dispatched to 2322 Washington for a two car MVA with no injuries. MV1 operator stated she was operating eastbound on Washington St (a public way) driving the speed limit. MV1 operator stated she observed MV2 on the westbound side of Washington St attempt to turn left into Starbucks (2322 Washington St). MV1 operator stated by the time she saw MV2 cut across in front of her and into her lane, it was too late and MV1 struck the passenger side of MV2. MV2 operator stated the same story. MV2 operator said she was also going the speed limit on Washington St westbound and attempted to turn left into Starbucks but misjudged MV1's speed, causing the MVA. MV1 sustained extensive total front end damage and was towed by Tody's. MV1 operator requested an evaluation by Newton Medics and was transported to Newton-Wellesley Hospital. MV2 sustained extensive and total passenger side damage and was towed by Tody's. MV2 operator reported no injuries.

On Monday, June 14, 2021 while assigned to Traffic unit N525, I responded to the intersection of Park Street and Alba Circle for a report of a motor vehicle crash involving a pedestrian. The weather at the time of the crash was overcast with light rain. The road surface at the location of the crash was wet. Park Street and Alba Circle are public ways maintained by the City of Newton. Park Street supports two way travel (N, S) with no marked divider to indicate travel lanes. I spoke with the operator of the 2013 Nissan Juke (MA: 137LX7) involved in the crash, Ms. Cynthia Cowan (S59504510). Ms. Cowan stated she was traveling on Park Street (N) towards Alba Circle. Ms. Cowan stated ahead of her there was a large landscaping truck (MA CON: X1515, 2001 Ford DRWSUP) parked on the right side of the roadway and blocking her lane of travel. Ms. Cowan stated she looked ahead of the landscaping truck and did not see any traffic coming towards her in the opposite lane. Ms. Cowan stated she entered the opposite lane of travel (S) to pass the parked landscaping truck and continue down Park Street. Ms. Cowan stated as she was traveling past the front of the landscaping truck, she crashed into a standing mower that had entered the roadway. Ms. Cowan stated the mower entered the roadway from in front of the parked landscaping truck. Ms. Cowan stated because of her obstructed view from the landscaping truck, she did not see the mower until it was too late. Ms. Cowan stated she stopped her vehicle and observed the operator of the mower on the sidewalk in front of 248 Park Street. I observed damage to the front passenger fender/bumper/wheel area with airbag deployment from the driver seat. I also observed yellow paint transfer on the front bumper area consistant with the color of the mower involved. MV1 was removed from the roadway by Tody's Towing. Ms. Cowan signed a patient refusal with Newton Medics and walked home from the crash site. The other party involved in the crash is a landscaper for 4 Seasons Services. I observed a yellow Wright Standing Mower 52" resting on the side of the roadway in the Northbound lane. The mower has significant damage to its front portion. 4 Seasons Services removed the mower from the roadway. A worker on scene estimated the value of the mower to be $11,000.00. Photos were taken of the mower, MV1, and the roadway and submited to the IT Bureau. The injured party, Mr. Louis Padilla-Gonzalez (S32927586), was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital for a left shoulder injury and an injury to the left side of his face. I spoke with Mr. Padilla-Gonzalez in the emergency room with the assitance of a language translation service set up by the nursing staff there. Mr. Padilla-Gonzalez stated he was operating the standing mower and left the sidewalk into the road. Mr. Padilla-Gonzalez stated he drove by the front of the parked landscaping truck and when he got into the street he saw a car coming towards him fast. Mr. Padilla-Gonzalez stated he tried to reverse the mower and get out of the way, but he could not because of the wet roadway. Mr. Padilla-Gonzalez stated he was hit by MV1 and thrown from the mower to the street. After speaking with Ms. Cowan and Mr. Padilla-Gonzalez, it appears both parties had their view of the roadway obstructed due to where the 4 Seasons Services landscaping truck (MA CON: X1515) was parked. I did not observe any posted parking restrictions where the vehicle was parked, but due to the size of the vehicle it did take up the entire Northbound travel lane in front of 248 Park Street. The location of the parked landscaping truck and the wet road surface contributed to the crash. There were no witnesses to the crash.

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.

On 06/27/21 at approximately 14:06 I responded across from #295 Dudley Rd. for a single vehicle crash.When I arrived I witnessed Veh#1 was on its drivers side resting against pole #34. The operator was already out of the car sitting on the stone wall next to it. The Operator of veh #1 stated he was driving due North on Dudley Rd. driving the speed limit when he saw a jogger (witness #2) in his lane. He then swerved into the left lane when he saw an oncoming car. He then swerved back to the right and rolled his vehicle coming to rest beside Eversource Pole #34.

Ms. Stein stated she did not hear or see the front loader backing up towards them and did not notice it because they were having an "intense conversation". Ms. Stein reported no injuries and signed a patient refusal with Fallon Medics. I asked Ms. Stein if she had transportation to her residence. Ms. Stein stated she would walk home. I spoke with the operator of the front loader involved in the crash, Mr. Mark Mannion (S91049325). Mr. Mannion is an employee of Feeney Brothers Utilities and stated he was operating a 2015 Case Loader (MA CON: R99118) at the time of the crash. Mr. Mannion stated he was backing up the loader down the Commonwealth Avenue carriage road (E) from Lowell Avenue. Mr. Mannion stated he was going to get a load of fill from a pile of dirt on the side of the road inside the marked off work area.

Mr. Mannion stated then heard a scream and saw 2 female parties on the ground. Mr. Mannion stated he exited the loader and checked on the welfare of the two women. Mr. Mannion's CDL License, Vehicle Registration, and Hoisting License are all active. I asked Mr. Mannion to put the vehicle in reverse to assess if the emergency backing alarm was functioning properly. Mr. Mannion was cooperative and while reversing the vehicle the emergency backing alarm was functioning properly in my presence. I asked Mr. Mannion if the loader had moved since it was brought to a stop due to the crash. Mr. Mannions stated it had not moved.

I observed this vehicle at its final rest on the roadway with its front end facing Northbound on Washington Street just over the double yellow line in the middle of the roadway. The front and side impact airbags had deployed inside the vehicle as a result of the collision. I did not observe anything hanging inside the vehicle that would have obstructed the view of the operator prior to the collision. MV1 was removed from the roadway by Tody's Towing.

Officer Pohlman sustained injuries to her left forehead area and both of her arms. Officer Pohlman was later transported to Brigham and Women's Hospital for evaluation and was released a short time later. It was reported to me by numerous Officers on scene that Officer Pohlman exited her cruiser after the crash and rather than tend to her own injuries, she focused her efforts on rendering aid to the operator of the other vehicle involved. Officer Pohlman found the operator of the other vehicle lying on the floor of the front passenger seat under the dash.
