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.

On 1/19/19 I responded to 25 Normandy Rd for a report of a past hit and run. I spoke with the Operator of MV#1 who stated the accident had taken place in front of Tom's Pizza, 423 Lexington St, at approximately 1830 hrs. Operator of MV#1 stated she parked her vehicle in a parking spot directly in front of the restaurant and went inside.

(See witness narratives.) MV#1 suffered moderate damage to the rear and was driven from the scene. Waltham PD responded to the address listed for MV#2 and were not able to locate the vehicle. At approximately 2000 hrs, I was contacted at the police station by the owner of MV#2's wife. After further investigation (see incident report #19002425) it was determined that the operator of MV#2 at the time of the accident was the vehicle owner's brother. I spoke with Operator of MV#2 on the phone and he stated that the road was icy and slippery due to snow and he crashed into the back of MV#1. He stated he was nervous and thought he had only hit the sidewalk curb. Operator of MV#2 was issued citation T1440626 by mail for 90/24C Leaving the Scene of Property Damage, 90/10A Unlicensed Operation and 90/24 Use of MV Without Authority.

The owner of the property of 173 Grant Ave. was also present and was notified of the accident.

Both the operator and passenger in Vehicle #1 stated they were uninjured in the accident and refused any medical treatment.

On 01/22/19 I responded to a three vehicle crash on Needham St. in front on #241- Marshalls Plaza. The operator of veh #1 stated she was driving due West on Needham St. when she looked right at a car waiting to pull out of the parking lot. When she looked back to Needham St., the traffic was stopped and she hit her brakes and snow slid covered her windshield.

It should be noted that there are parking stalls parallel to where the vehicle was parked, with several residents of Norumbega Gardens coming and going quite frequently. It is not believed that there are cameras facing the specific area where the collision occurred. Hovhannisyan was advised to contact her insurance company.

Merida-Diaz stated last evening and this morning he removed snow from the parking lot and did not make contact with any vehicles in the parking lot during his duties. I showed Merida-Diaz where the alleged accident occurred. Merida-Diaz stated he does not remember a car being parked in that particular spot, but if there was a car parked there he leaves enough room so he is not near any vehicles. I did not observe any surveillance cameras in this portion of the parking lot. There are no witnesses to the alleged accident. Aubourg was advised to speak with her insurance company.

On 3/1/19 while working N493, myself and N492 Officer Selig were sent to the area of 1354 Washington St for a motor vehicle accident with reported injuries. On arrival, I spoke to Matthew Digregorio DOB7/2/74 ( hereby referred to as operator #1) who was standing on the sidewalk next to MA reg 134TR9 (vehicle #1 ). Vehicle #1 had significant damage to the front and right quarter panels. It was straddled between the travel lanes and did not have the keys in the ignition. It was immediately apparent that operator #1 suffered an injury to his head, as there was a moderate amount of blood and small pieces of glass stuck in his forehead area. I observed operator #1 to be unsteady on his feet, have bloodshot eyes and slurred speech. I could detect a moderate odor of alchoholic beverage coming from operator #1 as I was approaching him, which was apparent from about an arms length away (it should be noted that medics were already en route to the scene at this time). Prior to the medics arrival, I asked operator #1 for a brief synopsis of what transpired. Operator #1 stated that he had just left Paddy's Pub and was driving westbound on Hunter St (which is approximately 1/8 mile from our location) when he collided head on with vehicle #2. Vehicle #2 was not immediately visible upon police arrival, however was pointed out as being located at the intersection of Hunter and Putnam St. I asked operator #1 where he was heading, as Hunter St is a back road not directly in the vicinity of Paddy's. Operator #1 could not answer the question and also remained silent when I asked him how much alcohol he had consumed this evening. At this time the medics arrived on scene. I asked operator #1 for the car keys to reliquish to the tow truck operator, which is standard operating practice. Operator #1 reached into his pocket and then provided me with the keys. Due to concern over operator #1's obvious head trauma, he was then transported to NWH to be evaluated while the investigation continued on scene. Two other parties approached myself and Officer Selig. One was the operator of vehicle #2, MA reg 1RD999. Operator #2 is identified as Luke Ferdinands DOB 5/11/80. The other party who approached is identified as Douglas Dasilva-Pimenta DOB 6/2/86 (Dasilva-Pimenta will now be referred to as operator #3). Operator #2 states that he was taking a right onto Hunter St from Putnam St, when he observed vehicle #1 on the wrong side of the road approaching him head on. Operator #2 states vehicle #1 then collided head on with him, took a right onto Putnam St, and continued onto the Washington St overpass near 1354 Washington St. Operator #3 states he was inside of #5 Hunter St when he heard a loud crash coming from outside. He looked out the window and saw vehicle #1 traveling at a high rate of speed on Hunter St towards Putnam St. Operator #3 observed damage to the right side of his parked vehicle (now referred to as vehicle #3) MA reg 7CAK80. He immediately got in his vehicle and proceeded to follow vehicle #1, which then crashed into vehicle #2 head on. Operator #1 did not stop until it was obvious that operator #3 was following close behind. This ultimately landed vehicle #1 at it's final location near 1354 Washington St. Vehicle #1 and vehicle #2 were not driveable and were towed to Tody's. It should be noted that there was a passenger in vehicle #2 at the time of the collision. Airbags were deployed and medics checked out both operator and passenger. Both declined transport. The passenger is identified as Elizabeth Ferdinands DOB 5/22/53.Ferdinands' version of events coincide with that of operator #2. Upon speaking with Officer Selig it was learned that operator #1 dropped his cell phone several times as he was holding it on scene. Both Officer Selig and operators #2 and #3 observed this. Operators #2 and #3 both expressed concern over the obvious odor of alcohol eminating from operator #1, and the fact that he was unsteady on his feet. I responded to NWH to follow up with operator #1 however he did not wish to speak further. He did express concern over the well being of all parties involved. Operator #1 was issued in hand the following citations: T1268426 - 90/24 OUI Alcohol, 90/24 Leaving the Scene (property damage, vehicle #2), and 90/24 Leaving the Scene (property damage, vehicle #3).
