crash_reports

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

On 1/19/19 I responded to 25 Normandy Rd for a report of a past hit and run. I spoke with the Operator of MV#1 who stated the accident had taken place in front of Tom's Pizza, 423 Lexington St, at approximately 1830 hrs. Operator of MV#1 stated she parked her vehicle in a parking spot directly in front of the restaurant and went inside. When she returned approximately 5 minutes later she realized her vehicle had been rear ended. Two witnesses provided her with information about the accident and the plate number. (See witness narratives.) MV#1 suffered moderate damage to the rear and was driven from the scene. Waltham PD responded to the address listed for MV#2 and were not able to locate the vehicle. At approximately 2000 hrs, I was contacted at the police station by the owner of MV#2's wife. After further investigation (see incident report #19002425) it was determined that the operator of MV#2 at the time of the accident was the vehicle owner's brother. I spoke with Operator of MV#2 on the phone and he stated that the road was icy and slippery due to snow and he crashed into the back of MV#1. He stated he was nervous and thought he had only hit the sidewalk curb. Operator of MV#2 was issued citation T1440626 by mail for 90/24C Leaving the Scene of Property Damage, 90/10A Unlicensed Operation and 90/24 Use of MV Without Authority. He stated the vehicle suffered minor damage to the front.

On the above date/time I responded to 503 Watertown Street for report of a mva hit/run with property damage. Upon arrival I met with the owner of 503 Watertown Street Ms. Antonietta Tempesta she stated through he daughter in law Ms. Tiz Acuri at approx. 0830 hours she noticed fresh tire impressions on the roadway leading onto the sidewalk and into her fence that was damaged. She also stated the MA registration plate # 5DT664 was on the fence. I ran the the plate which came back to a 2003 Ford pickup color white to Kyle Butler of 84 Auburndale Ave Newton MA. Officer Boyle in unit 493 went to the residence and spoke with Kyle's uncle to call NPD. I advised Ms. Acuri of the process. Mr. Butler called NPD I spoke with him on the phone. He stated he was driving west on Watertown Street and due to the icy roadway his truck slid to the right onto the sidewalk and into what he thought was a snow bank. I gave all parties each others information and advised them. I gave the uncle Kyles reg plate.

On the above date/time I responded to 647 Washington Street for a report of a two vehicle crash. Upon arrival I met with the operator of vehicle two Mr. Weiner, he stated he was stopped in the Whole foods parking lot when vehicle one backed up into his vehicle. They exchanged information but the operator of vehicle one Ms. Adetola left prior to my arrival. I obtained her license information through Mr. Weiner and when I ran the reg plate on vehicle one it came back to Watertown Ford. I advised Mr. Weiner of the process and I will contact Watertown Ford for more contact information on Ms. Adetola to obtain a statement. Update:Jan. 21, 2019 On Jan. 21, 2019 I contacted Watertown Ford advised them of the crash and obtained a phone number for the operator of vehicle one. I spoke to her on the phone she stated the parking lot roadway was covered in snow/ice, she was backing out of the parking spot and vehicle two continued traveling and struck her vehicle. I advised her of the process.

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

Mv#1 operator stated he was at a complete stop on Parker St N/B near #110 idling in backed up traffic. #1 stated he was suddenly rear ended by Mv#2. #1 complained of a burning sensation pain going up his leg possibly related to a previous hip injury. #1 was transported by medics to NWH. #1 sustained significant rear end damage. It was towed by Tody's. #2 operator stated she was travelling on Parker St N/B while looking to her right at travel directions on her phone. #2 stated at that time she rear ended #1 ahead of her. #2 stated she was not injured and signed the patient refusal. #2 towed by Tody's with heavy front end damage.

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

ON 2-1-19 AT APPROX. 1340HRS. WHILE WORKING N492 I TOOK A REPORT FOR MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT HIT AND RUN. UPON ARRIVAL AT 72 HIGHLAND ST. I SPOKE TO THE OWNER O VEHICLE #!. OWNER STATES HE WAS INFORMED BY A COWORKER ( NO LONGER ON SCENE ) THAT A VAN ( MA REG: T65665 ) SIDESWIPED HIS PARKED MOTOR VEHICLE CAUSING THE LEFT REAR VIEW MIRROR TO BE DAMAGED. OWNER STATES HIS VEHICLE WAS PARKED ALL DAY BECAUSE HE IS DOING WORK AT THAT LOCATION. COWORKER GOT THE PLATE OF THE VEHICLE THAT HIT HIS VEHICLE. OWNER REPORTS NO INJURY AND WAS ADVISED O CONTACT HIS INSURANCE COMPANY. ATTEMPTS TO MAKE CONTACT WITH THE OWNER OF VEHICLE #2 WAS UNSUCCESSFUL AT THIS TIME. FOUND A SECOND NUMBER ( 860-301-1336 ) FOR THE METROWEST PACKAGING COMPANY AND LEFT ANOTHER VOICE MAIL.WILL TRY TO MAKE CONTACT AGAIN BEFORE PURSUING OTHER OPTIONS. Traffic Bureau Update (Officer Gaudet): On Monday, February 4, 2019 I made contact with the President of Metrowest Packaging, Brian Hersh. Hersh stated his company does fulfillment deliveries for Amazon. Hersh was advised that a vehicle registered to his company was allegedly involved in a hit and run accident. Hersh was provided information on the vehicle involved. Hersh stated an employee named Alexis was operating MA CON:T65665 on the date of the accident and provided a phone number for this party. On Tuesday, February 5, 2019 I spoke with Alexis Laporte-Soto (S84358654). Laporte-Soto stated he was operating a 2017 Mercedes Sprint van (MA CON:T65665) in Newton for Metrowest Packaging on the date of the accident. I explained to Laporte-Soto the vehicle he was operating was alleged to have been involved in a hit and run accident on Highland Street in Newton. Highland Street is a public way maintained by the City of Newton. Laporte-Soto stated the vehicle he was operating hit the driver door mirror of a parked card on Highland Street. Laporte-Soto reported the accident as mirror (MV2 passenger side) to mirror (MV1 driver side). Laporte-Soto stated after his passenger side door mirror made contact with MV1's driver side door mirror, he stopped his vehicle 15 feet down the road. Laporte-Soto stated he walked up to the car he hit and saw the mirror was bent back but there was no damage. Laporte-Soto stated he waited near the car for 10 minutes and the owner never showed up. Laporte-Soto also stated a "random guy" took a picture of his license plate. Laporte-Soto stated he said "hi" to this party but the party ignored him and left the area. I asked Laporte-Soto why he did not call Newton Police to assist him in finding the owner of the vehicle he hit. Laporte-Soto stated he didn't know. I also advised Laporte-Soto that the name of the owner of the vehicle he hit was printed on the driver side door next. The owner's phone number and email address were also printed on the driver door. Laporte-Soto stated he didn't see that. I spoke with the owner of MV1, Jason Correria. Correria stated a co-worker observed the entire accident and observed MV2's passenger side mirror hit MV1's driver side mirror. Correria stated his co-worker then observed MV2 travel down Highland Street with out stopping and pull into the Santander parking lot located at 1314 Washington Street. Correria stated his co-worker saw the operator of MV2 exit his vehicle, check his passenger side door mirror for damage, and leave the area. Laporte-Soto will be mailled Massachusetts Uniform Citation T1443121 for Chapter 90, Section 24 (Leaving the scene of property damage).

The operator of MV1 stated she was parked SB in front of 175 Temple St. from approximately 1000 hrs to 1430 hrs, and she came out to a note left on her vehicle. The note stated "I saw someone back into your car, I got their plate, MA Reg TC58LC, Black Suburban". and there was minor damage to the drivers side doors. MA Reg TC58LC came back to a HUTTER, Carol of 67 Randlett Pk, Newton. I responded to that address and attempted to raise HUTTER with no answer at the door. I then called the phone number listed from a past incident with the Newton Police and HUTTER answered the phone. She stated she was at the Temple attempting to parallel park when she thought she may have hit another vehicle. She stated she got out to look at the vehicle and didn't see any damage, so she took a photo of the license plate and would try to report it once she got home. MA Reg TC58LC had several scratches on the bumper of the vehicle.

On 3/1/19 while working N493, myself and N492 Officer Selig were sent to the area of 1354 Washington St for a motor vehicle accident with reported injuries. On arrival, I spoke to Matthew Digregorio DOB7/2/74 ( hereby referred to as operator #1) who was standing on the sidewalk next to MA reg 134TR9 (vehicle #1 ). Vehicle #1 had significant damage to the front and right quarter panels. It was straddled between the travel lanes and did not have the keys in the ignition. It was immediately apparent that operator #1 suffered an injury to his head, as there was a moderate amount of blood and small pieces of glass stuck in his forehead area. I observed operator #1 to be unsteady on his feet, have bloodshot eyes and slurred speech. I could detect a moderate odor of alchoholic beverage coming from operator #1 as I was approaching him, which was apparent from about an arms length away (it should be noted that medics were already en route to the scene at this time). Prior to the medics arrival, I asked operator #1 for a brief synopsis of what transpired. Operator #1 stated that he had just left Paddy's Pub and was driving westbound on Hunter St (which is approximately 1/8 mile from our location) when he collided head on with vehicle #2. Vehicle #2 was not immediately visible upon police arrival, however was pointed out as being located at the intersection of Hunter and Putnam St. I asked operator #1 where he was heading, as Hunter St is a back road not directly in the vicinity of Paddy's. Operator #1 could not answer the question and also remained silent when I asked him how much alcohol he had consumed this evening. At this time the medics arrived on scene. I asked operator #1 for the car keys to reliquish to the tow truck operator, which is standard operating practice. Operator #1 reached into his pocket and then provided me with the keys. Due to concern over operator #1's obvious head trauma, he was then transported to NWH to be evaluated while the investigation continued on scene. Two other parties approached myself and Officer Selig. One was the operator of vehicle #2, MA reg 1RD999. Operator #2 is identified as Luke Ferdinands DOB 5/11/80. The other party who approached is identified as Douglas Dasilva-Pimenta DOB 6/2/86 (Dasilva-Pimenta will now be referred to as operator #3). Operator #2 states that he was taking a right onto Hunter St from Putnam St, when he observed vehicle #1 on the wrong side of the road approaching him head on. Operator #2 states vehicle #1 then collided head on with him, took a right onto Putnam St, and continued onto the Washington St overpass near 1354 Washington St. Operator #3 states he was inside of #5 Hunter St when he heard a loud crash coming from outside. He looked out the window and saw vehicle #1 traveling at a high rate of speed on Hunter St towards Putnam St. Operator #3 observed damage to the right side of his parked vehicle (now referred to as vehicle #3) MA reg 7CAK80. He immediately got in his vehicle and proceeded to follow vehicle #1, which then crashed into vehicle #2 head on. Operator #1 did not stop until it was obvious that operator #3 was following close behind. This ultimately landed vehicle #1 at it's final location near 1354 Washington St. Vehicle #1 and vehicle #2 were not driveable and were towed to Tody's. It should be noted that there was a passenger in vehicle #2 at the time of the collision. Airbags were deployed and medics checked out both operator and passenger. Both declined transport. The passenger is identified as Elizabeth Ferdinands DOB 5/22/53.Ferdinands' version of events coincide with that of operator #2. Upon speaking with Officer Selig it was learned that operator #1 dropped his cell phone several times as he was holding it on scene. Both Officer Selig and operators #2 and #3 observed this. Operators #2 and #3 both expressed concern over the obvious odor of alcohol eminating from operator #1, and the fact that he was unsteady on his feet. I responded to NWH to follow up with operator #1 however he did not wish to speak further. He did express concern over the well being of all parties involved. Operator #1 was issued in hand the following citations: T1268426 - 90/24 OUI Alcohol, 90/24 Leaving the Scene (property damage, vehicle #2), and 90/24 Leaving the Scene (property damage, vehicle #3). T1268425 - 89/4a Marked Lanes violation. T1269216 - 90/24 Negligent Operation of a M/V (mailed after consultation with superiors) All streets mentioned are public ways in the City of Newton. 1354 Washington St will be the address used on this report and subsequent citations due to multiple locations being involved. Citations and paperwork have been placed in the prosecutor's mailbox. An immediate threat form has been filled out and faxed to Mass DOT. *Attention Police Prosecutor for blood work subpoena, if applicable*

On 3/4/19 at approximately 1630hrs, I responded to the front desk for a report of a past hit and run. Operator#1 stated she was involved in an an accident on 2/27/19 at 1436hrs in front of Mango Thai, 115 Elm St. Operator #1 stated she was stopped waiting for the red light at Elm St and Washington when a "new black or gray SUV" pulled out of a parking spot the right of her. The other vehicle sideswiped her passenger side causing a large scratch. Operator #1i stated she honked and attempted to stop the vehicle but the driver pulled away. Operator #1 was only able to identify the driver as a male but did provide me with a plate of MA Reg 9RM445. The plate comes back leased to a 2018 Gray Jeep Compass registered to a Matthew Veteto. I was unable to find any phone number for Veteto. Operator#1 has already filed a claim with her insurance company who advised her she would need a police report. Due to being unable to verify who was driving, a citation was not issued.

On Saturday March 9, 2019, at approximately 0230 hours, I, Officer Brandon, responded to the Weston/Newton line on Commonwealth Ave to assist Weston PD with field sobriety. On arrival Weston PD had concluded field sobriety and determined that the party, Glenn Matot, was not under the influence. Weston PD then explained that they had been contacted by AAA stating that a single vehicle accident occurred in Weston's jurisdiction. After further review, Weston PD and I determined that the accident was in fact in Newton. I then spoke with the operator of MV1, Glenn Matot, who stated that he was on his way home from work traveling westbound on Commonwealth ave in front of the Charles River Canoe and Kayak when he became distracted by a text message. Mr. Matot further explained that while texting, his car drifted to the right causing him to drive up on the snow bank and up onto the guard rail before then falling off back into the road. MV1 sustained major damage to both the passenger side and undercarriage. Mr. Matot did not sustain any injuries and denied any medical attention. AAA arrived on scene and removed the vehicle from the road and Mr. Matot took an Uber home. Two pictures were taken of the damaged City of Newton guard rail and submitted to IT to be attached to the report.

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

MV1 was backing out of her parking spot in the parking lot at 916 Walnut St when she stopped to allow a pedestrian to cross in front of her vehicle. While she was waiting for the pedestrian to cross safely a vehicle backing out of the parking space across from hers backed into her vehicle and left the scene. Operator 1 was able to obtain a photo of the license plate. I then was able to contact operator 2 on the phone who stated she was at 916 Walnut St and "tapped" a vehicle when leaving and then left the scene. No injuries and both vehicle driven from the scene. MV1 sustained minor damage to the passenger side. Operator 2 states there is no damage to MV2. Operator 2 issued and mailed MA Uniform Citation T1442192 for leaving the scene property damage.

All operators state MV3 was stopped in traffic, with MV2 stopped in traffic behind it. Both vehicles were heading southbound on Centre St. MV1 failed to stop behind MV2, colliding with the rear of MV2. MV2 was sent forward from the impact and collided with MV3. No injuries were reported on scene and no tows were needed. On my arrival all parties had exchanged information. After further investigation it was determined the operator of MV2 was driving with a suspended license. I spoke to her via phone and she stated she thought it was cleared up. I advised her that I would be mailing a citation to her (Citation #T1441680) for operating after a suspended license. She was driven away from the scene by a neighbor (Michael Manna, S20209078).

On 4/16/19 I was sent to 25 Chestnut St the Newton Police Annex for a past motor vehicle hit and run. On arrival I was met by LAU, Justin who stated that upon leaving work around 1530 hrs, he observed a fresh scratch to his personal vehicle. The vehicle, MA 9XS415, was parked backed into the marked parking spot against the exterior wall of 25 Chestnut St and closest to the handicapped ramp. This will now be referred to as vehicle #1. The scratch is on the passenger side doors. 25 Chestnut St is equipped with an exterior surveillance system which caught this incident on camera. At 1210 hrs it shows an older white male in a blue/green pickup make contact with vehicle #1 two times as he was attempting to park. The vehicle drove into the parking spot, hitting the passenger corner of vehicle #1's front bumper, then the passenger door, before coming to a stop.The male that exited the pickup had a distinct grey beard and hair. A still frame of the male was shown to employees inside of 25 Chestnut St who immediately recognized and were able to identify him based off of a check he had dropped off earlier. The party is identified as MASTROPIERI, Rocco DOB 2/16/40. I spoke with MASTROPIERI via phone and explained why I was calling. He informed me that he was at the Annex dropping off a check for the NPMA and did not realize that he made contact with vehicle #1 when parking. MASTROPIERI apologized and stated that he would have reported the incident, had he known. MASTROPIERI responded to headquarters where he was issued a written warning in hand for C.O. 19-75 Failure to Use Care in Turning. The Police Annex is a building/lot with public access in the City of Newton.

On 05/10/19 I met with Luiz A. Lopes who stated his vehicle ( Mass Commercial Reg# T83695 White Toyota Tacoma P/ U) was struck while parked in the lot around 07:00. Lopes said he didn't call the Police right away because he wasn't sure his car was struck there. The truck sustained a cracked front bumper and the fog light was popped out. We went inside of National Lumber and spoke with a manager who said he would contact G.M. Greg Assarian and have him look at the security footage. On 05/14/19 at approximately 14:00 the Police Station received a call from Lopes who just got off the phone with Assarian who found some security footage of the incident. I then traveled over to National Lumber and met with Assarian. He showed me the video and it appears that a newer grey four door Chevrolet truck backed into Lopes truck around 06:58 of 05/07/19. The Massachusetts plate is unreadable but an older White heavy set male gets out of the truck and walks into the store. After parking the truck the male can be seen checking his own truck bumper for damage. The male is wearing a baseball hat and sun glasses and cannot be identified on the video. The male does however walk with a noticeable limp. Assarian will show his picture to his employees and contact me if the employees are able to identify the male driver. I called Lopes back and apprised him of my findings. ******************UPDATE**************************************** As of today 05/20/19 I have yet to hear back from anyone at National Lumber so I will end this investigation and label it a hit and run crash.

On 7/20/19 at 23:24 hrs I responded to the area of 552 Commonwealth Avenue for a report of a MVA. Upon arrival it was determined MV#1 had struck two unoccupied parked vehicles in the eastbound parking shoulder. The operator of MV#1 stated he was on his phone while driving and when he picked his head up another vehicle coming westbound was in his lane so he swerved to avoid collision and struck the parked vehicles. The impact caused MV#1 to spin and came to final rest facing Westbound. All vehicles were towed from he scene by Tody's towing.

On August 1, 2019 at approximately 17:34 hours I, Officer Guarino, responded with Newton Fire and Medics for a report of a single vehicle crash into the building of 335 Boylston St. Upon arrival, the operator and sole occupant of the vehicle was out of the vehicle and had minor injuries. MV1 struck a stop sign and was up against 335 Boylston St, which appeared to have a broken window and minor structural damage. Operator of MV1 said that he was traveling in the right lane of Boylston St (Westbound) when a white Mercedes sedan (unknown model or registration number) turned into his lane and almost struck his vehicle. Operator of MV1 swerved to the right to avoid a collision and as a result crashed into the stop sign on John St. and the side of 335 Boylston St. Witness 1, who was parked at 325 Boylston St. saw the incident and corroborated MV1's story.

Operator of vehicle 1 was able to follow the other vehicle and got a license plate of MA reg#149DE7 and described the vehicle as a black sedan. AAA responded and fixed vehicle 1s flat tire and she was able to go on her way. I ran the license plate that was given for the other vehicle and it came back to a 2013 black Kia Rio sedan owned by a Dan Kuksin of 24 Bryon Rd apt 2 in Boston. I was unable to get a phone number for Kuksin. Dispatch requested Boston send a unit by to try and make contact and as of finishing this report I have not heard back. Traffic Bureau Update (Officer Gaudet): On Tuesday, July 6, 2019, I attempted to make contact with the registered owner of MV2, Daniel Kuksin (S61105670), with a negative result. A Hit and Run inquiry was mailed to the Kuksin. On 08/07/2019 the owner of MA reg#149DE7 came into headquarters to discuss what happened.

He then stated that it was not thrown but kicked up from his tire. Myself and Officer Gaudet went outside with Kuskin and examined his vehicle and saw obvious damage that corresponded with the damage to vehicle 1. There were obvious signs of fresh paint transfer.

On 8/7/2019 at approx 1140hrs while assigned to 497 I responded to 2014 Washington St, NWH west entrance for a report of a two car crash without injuries.

On 08/13/19 at 14:53 hours, I responded to a hit and run motor vehicle accident located at 244 Needham Street. The operator of MV1 states she was parked in a parking spot to the right of the Splash business at 244 Needham Street. The parking spot is located on Charlemont Street. After parking, she was sitting in her motor vehicle when she heard a bump to her driver's side rear end from MV2 backing up from a parking spot across from her. She says the operator of MV2 turned and looked at her and kept proceeding (NB) on Charlemont towards Needham Street. She then exited her vehicle to try and get the operator's attention to no avail. She took a photo of MV2 which was a black Toyota Highlander bearing MA reg.# R85045. She described the operator as a white female in her forties with possibly dark curly hair. I observed minor paint damage and scratches to the driver's side rear quarter panel area. The operator is unsure if that damage is from the accident. The owner of MV2, Steven Masterson has a residential address of 40 Wild Acres Rd in North Attleboro, MA and a mailing address of 34 Central Street Foxborough, MA. A telephone search revealed a phone number of (269)857-7814 for him out of Aiken, SC and the Foxborough address but the number is not in service. UPDATE: I was provided a phone number for Masterson from N. Attleboro PD. On 08/16/19 at 12:45 hours, I spoke to Sheila Masterson who stated she was driving MV2 at the time of the reported accident. She stated that she was unaware that she struck MV1 and saw the other operator looking at her but thought nothing of it. Due to the accident being very minor or possibly no damage at all, no further action will be taken. Masterson was provided with the other operator's information.

MV1 operator, David Gorman (2017 Mazda Cx3, MA Reg:6TL761), stated that he was traveling from Commonwealth Ave turning right on Lexington St heading NORTH when he realized the vehicle behind him was following him very closely. MV1 continued to drive on Lexington St when MV2 (2015 Toyota Highlander, MA Reg: 6VS151), started to beep at him continuously and went over the double yellow line in an attempt to pass MV1. MV2 was unable to pass MV1 because of oncoming traffic so MV2 steered to get back into his lane. MV2 collided with MV1 in the area of 281 Lexington St. A witness, John Maclellan (off-duty police officer Watertown) who was in the area of Lexington St and Orris St. stated that he heard a vehicle beeping repeatedly and then heard a collision. Maclellan came outside to find MV2 over the double yellow lines facing oncoming traffic. MV2 had damage to its passenger front and MV1 had damage to its drivers side rear. Maclellan told MV2 operator, Renato Ribeirodasilva, to move his vehicle to a safe location on the right side of the road and get out of the vehicle to exchange paperwork with the other driver involved (MV1, Gorman). Maclellan phoned Newton PD to notify of the accident and as he was on the line, he witnessed both parties getting into a heated arguement on the sidewalk outside of their vehicles. MV2 operator, Renato Ribeirodasilva was taken into custody for the following charges: 90/24J - OUI Liquor, 90/24E - Neglegant Operator of a MV, and 89/4A - Marked Lanes Violation.

Operator of MV1 states she was traveling straight ahead (SB) by 1052 Chestnut Street when she observed several vehicles ahead start to proceed through the light. She then heard her phone ring and went to retrieve it by looking down for a second. When looking back up, the traffic directly in front of her did not move yet and she could not stop in time striking MV2 in the rear end. MV2 was then pushed in to MV3. Both MV2 and MV3 were stopped in traffic at the time awaiting to travel through Chestnut Street at Elliot Street. MV1 sustained moderate front end damage to the bumper and grille areas.

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!"

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.

At approximately 1645HRs on Tuesday, 01/07/2020, I was dispatched to 325 Boylston St. (Sunoco Gas) for a report of a hit and run motor vehicle crash. Upon arrival, I spoke with the operator of MV1 (MA Veteran:J706), who stated that as he sat stationary in his vehicle just before entering pump: 3, MV2 backed up from pump: 1 and struck MV1 in the front bumper, despite him activating his horn and keeping it active as she continued to back up. The operator of MV1 then approached the driver's side door of MV2 to exchange information, however the operator of MV2 drove off; the operator of MV1 provided MA Pass: 8SV842 being attached to MV2 and I noted damage to the front bumper of MV1. I spoke to witness 1 via phone and he concurred with the operator of MV1's account of the incident. It should be noted that witness 1 could see the crash well from his vantage point by pump: 2. The operator of MV2 could not be reached by this officer for comment. Natick PD responded to the operator of MV2's residence and observed damage to MV2's rear bumper. They requested the operator of MV2 contact me via phone and she stated she would; Natick PD did not get a contact number for her. Natick PD informed us to expect her call and a few minutes later, dispatcher Kelly stated that she received a call from the operator of MV2, who immediately hung up once the call was answered. It should be noted that since she called on the business line and immediately hung up, we were not able to retrieve her phone number as the system does not store it. Due to the operator of MV2 failing to provide her information after the crash/fleeing the scene and her not being cooperative with my investigation, I have issued her by mail MA Criminal Citation:T2013367 for violating one count of MGL. Ch. 90 S. 24 (Leaving The Scene Of An Accident After Property Damage). Note: the clerk at Sunoco stated that the cameras at the pumps do not store footage. **Update** At approximately 1540HRs on Thursday, 01/07/2020, I spoke with the operator of MV2 via telephone. She contacted the Newton Police Traffic Bureau and provided her phone number, who in turn forwarded it to me. She stated to me that on the night in question, she was at the pumps and the pump she initially wished to use (pump: 1) had a sign on it to pay inside. She then elected not to use said pump and backed her car up and heard the operator of MV1 activate his horn. She stopped and was unaware that she struck MV1. When she saw the operator of MV 1 exit his vehicle, she assumed he was going to pump gas. She then stated she left the gas station because she was frustrated and did not intend to leave the scene of an accident. I advised the operator of MV2 that since I was unable to speak with her that night, I had already issued her MA Criminal Citation:T2013367 for violating one count of MGL. Ch. 90 S. 24 (Leaving The Scene Of An Accident After Property Damage) via mail and advised her how to proceed.

On Thursday 10/29/20 at approximately 0541 hours while assigned to marked unit n499 I was dispatched to the area of 130 Vine Street for a report of a single vehicle roll-over crash. Upon arrival myself and n496(Ofc. Howes) observed a white SUV on its roof facing westbound in the eastbound lane of Vine Street (a public way owned, operated and maintained by the City of Newton). Upon our arrival Newton Firefighters had extracated the operator, (FOSTER Isabelle), who was sitting on a large rock in the front yard of 130 Vine Street. FOSTER was visibly upset, but didnt appear to have any major injuries. I asked FOSTER what happened and she stated she was travelling from Westgate Rd in Boston on her way home to Wellesley. She took a right turn onto Vine Street from LaGrange Street and began travelling westbound. FOSTER stated that she was travelling too fast and didnt realize how the road curved causing her to veer off the road and strike a large tree in the front of 130 Vine Street. FOSTER was travelling at a speed fast enough to cause the vehicle to flip onto its roof in the opposite lane of traffic. FOSTER admitted to me she was travelling too fast on the road. Vine street is a winding road that is not very well lit. Speed limit on the road is 20mph and its estimated FOSTER was travelling at least 30-45mph. The speed coupled with FOSTER's lack of familiarity with the area and her inexperience driving were all contributing factors to the crash. FOSTER was issued Massachusetts Uniform Citation T2012909 with the following civil motor vehicle infractions; C90 s18 SPEEDING (Posted) C89 s4a Marked Lanes Violation. FOSTER was transported to Beth Israel hospital by the medics and I was unable to issue the citation in hand at the time of the crash. Due to FOSTER's age (17) I also wanted to notify her parents and meet with them and FOSTER upon her release from the hospital. At approximately 1700 Hours I met with Scott Foster(Father) in person, Jodi Foster (Mother) and Isabelle foster via cell phone (speaker phone). I discussed the charges with all parties and explained the citation to Isabelle. Citation was given in hand to her father, Scott Foster and brough the citation to Isabelle.

The owner of MV#1 had parked his vehicle at 10:03 in front of 1269 Centre St and returned to his vehicle at 12:00 to discover that it had been struck. Attached to the windshield of MV#1 was a handwritten note from a party that witnessed the accident. MV #1 sustained moderate damages to its front driver's side bumper. I spoke to the witness via telephone and he stated he was travelling southbound on Centre St directly behind MV#2 when he observed MV#2 sideswiped MV#1. The witness then observed the operator of MV#2 got out of his vehicle, looked at the damages to MV#1, retrieved a can of paint from a party standing on the sidewalk, got back into MV#2 and drove away. The witness stated MV#2 was a black colored "Dodge Ram" pick up truck bearing MA REG 2HLR81. The damages to MV#2 should be to its rear passenger side bumper. The witness described the operator of MV#2 as a white male in his 50's, 6' in height with a muscular build. A query of MV#2 showed that it is registered to a female party out of Weymouth MA. I attempted to contact the owner of MV#2 at phone #781 974-0307 and left a voicemail. I spoke to the Weymouth Police Dept and they will attempt to make contact with the owner of MV#2. I was able to speak to the owner of MV#2 and she stated her ex-boyfriend Richard Woodard has possession of MV#2 but does not speak to him often. She does not know Richard's personal information and provided me with his contact number of 617 631-0596. I spoke to Richard and he stated he was contacted by the owner of MV#2 and was already enroute to Police Headquarters. Richard arrived shortly after and he confirmed that he is the operator of MV#2 and was on Centre St retrieving paint earlier. Richard stated he was not aware he struck any other vehicles. I inspected MV#2 and did not observed any damages to its entire right side. I observed some minor scraping marks on the rear passenger side tire of MV#2. The rear passenger tire of MV#2 would be the most likely part of the vehicle that made contact with MV#1 and also consistent with the witness's statements. Based on the statements made to me by Richard and the fact that there were no visible damages to MV#2 besides its rear tire, it is possible that Richard was not aware he made contact with MV#1. All parties involved were provided with this accident report and advised to contact their insurance providers. There were no reported injuries to all parties involved. I will not pursue this matter further.

On 04/20/21 at 11:46 hours, I (Traffic Unit 523) responded to the CVS parking lot located at 978 Boylston Street for a city motor vehicle hit & run accident. The city vehicle was struck when the operator was inside the store and the other unknown vehicle left the scene. The CVS parking lot is a thru-way for the public to access and park for the store. The weather at the time was partly cloudy and the road conditions were dry. On arrival, I met the driver of the city vehicle identified as William Bertrand (MA D/L# S24973075).

I observed numerous scrape marks to that mentioned area and I took digital photos of the damage. I also observed two small specks of paint on the damaged area that were a bluish gray type of color from the suspect vehicle. It appears that due to the scrape marks that the unknown vehicle was pulling in to the parking space to the left of the city vehicle. As it was pulling in, it struck the city vehicle with it's front passenger quarter panel area. I spoke to Nick (CVS manager) on the phone and was inquiring about possible surveillance footage of the lot.

On Monday, June 28, 2021, while assigned to Traffic unit N525, I was entering my marked cruiser to leave the parking lot at the rear of 1321 Washington Street, Newton. The rear parking lot of the police station features a public right of access, but is restricted for authorized vehicle. There are signs posted at both entrances to the parking lot stating, "RESTRICTED AREA Newton Police Department Authorized Vehicles Only Beyond This Point. As I entered my cruiser, I observed a red 2020 Jeep Wrangler (CT: AX89516) parked directly across from my cruiser facing Eastbound. This vehicle was not parked in a marked parking spot and was the last vehicle in the parking lot from the Cherry Street entrance on the North side of the lot. I observed that the front bumper of this vehicle made contact with the rear bumper area of a parked 2018 Tesla Model 3 (EV3617 ). I exited my vehicle and walked over to the vehicles to investigate if a crash had occurred. I observed a black male party sitting in the front passenger seat of the Jeep. The driver seat was vacant. The Jeep had its driver door and passenger door windows rolled down. The vehicle was not running and there were no keys in the ignition. As I approached the passenger side door, the male passenger appeared to be asleep and I could detect a moderate odor of alcoholic beverage emanating from the passenger seat area. I woke up the passenger and inquired where the driver of the vehicle was. The passenger identified himself by his Connecticut ID as Masengo Kabongo (#178372788). Mr. Kabongo stated his cousin Marcel was the operator of the vehicle and they had pulled into their current parking spot so Marcel could run an errand. Mr. Kabongo stated he did not know where his cousin was, and he could not locate his phone to contact his cousin. I asked Mr. Kabongo if he was aware he was parked in the Newton Police Station parking lot and that the vehicle he was sitting in crashed into an employee's vehicle parked in front of them. Mr. Kabongo stated he was not aware. Mr. Kabongo appeared to be very confused with the situation and continued to state he did not know why they were there and where his cousin was. The registered owner of the Tesla arrived and assessed the damage to his vehicle. I observed minor damage to the rear bumper area to MV2. There was also minor damage to the front bumper of MV1. The owner of MV2 was able to review footage of the crash from his vehicles exterior surveillance system. While viewing this video with him, I observed MV1 enter the Newton Police Department parking lot from Cherry Street and pull right behind MV2. MV1 appeared to be occupied by two black males at this time. One in the passenger seat and one in the driver seat. MV1's front bumper area is then observed crashing into the rear bumper area of MV2. The Newton Police Department IT Bureau was able to observe the crash from a surveillance camera affixed to the Newton Police Department maintenance garage (facing Cherry Street). The video captures MV1 entering the parking lot and crashing into the rear of MV2. A black male with light colored shorts and a dark T-shirt is observed exiting the driver side door and walking away from the area up Cherry Street (S) to Washington Street. I explained to Mr. Kabongo that the crash was captured on our surveillance system and that his cousin appeared to be the operator. Mr. Kabongo stated his cousin was currently in Newton District Court being arranged for a previous incident (Report #21027283). I looked up recent bookings for NPD and I observed a party matching the name Mr. Kabongo provided. On Friday, June 25, 2021. Mr. Marcel Mengue-Ngoumou was arrested and cited by the Newton Police Department for OUI (Subsequent Offense), Negligent Operation, Marked Lanes, Open Container, and Unlicensed Operation. I contacted the Newton Police Department Court Prosecutor, Officer Hagopian, to see of Mr. Mengue-Ngoumou was still present in Newton District Court. Officer Hagopian stated he contacted the court and Mr. Mengue-Ngoumou was waiting to be arraigned. Myself and Officer Hagopian responded to Newton District Court to try and speak with Mr. Mengue-Ngoumou. Upon entering Session 1 in NDC, the lone individual sitting in the gallery was a party matching the description of the party from the surveillance footage. I spoke with Assistant District Attorney Nathan Stetson who was present in the court room. I apprised him of the current incident that Mr. Mengue-Ngoumou was involved in and told him I was going to speak with him. Mr. Mengue-Ngoumou at this time was sitting on the second to last bench on the left side of Session 1 as you walk into the courtroom. The exit to the courtroom was behind him. I approached Mr. Mengue-Ngoumou from the front of the courtroom and explained to him that I had just spoken to his cousin in the parking lot of the Newton Police Department. I explained to him the vehicle his cousin was sitting in had crashed into a parked vehicle belonging to a Newton Police Department employee. I explained to Mr. Mengue-Ngoumou that his cousin had identified him as the operator of the vehicle. I then asked Mr. Mengue-Ngoumou who was operating the vehicle when they were traveling to court today. Mr. Mengue-Ngoumou stated he was the operator. I asked Mr. Mengue-Ngoumou if he knew he had parked in the Newton Police Department parking lot. Mr. Mengue-Ngoumou stated he did not. I asked Mr. Mengue-Ngoumou if he knew he crashed into a parked vehicle in the parking lot. Mr. Mengue-Ngoumou stated he did not. I asked Mr. Mengue-Ngoumou if he knew he was not supposed to be operating a vehicle because of his incident from the other night and his license being suspended. Mr. Mengue-Ngoumou stated he did. I apprised ADA Stetson to my conversation with Mr. Mengue-Ngoumou. Mr. Mengue-Ngoumou was issued Massachusetts Uniform Citation 054528AB in hand for Chapter 90, Section 23(K) (Operating a MV after suspension, subsequent offense), and Chapter 90, Section 24 (Leaving the Scene of Property Damage). Mr. Mengue-Ngoumou knowingly crashed into MV2, parked his vehicle, took the keys from the ignition, and left the area with out making an effort to contact the owner of MV2. The 2020 Jeep Wrangler from the crash was removed from the Newton Police Department parking lot by Tody's towing. A towed MV form was completed and submitted. Washington Street and Cherry Street are both public ways maintained by the City of Newton.

On Tuesday 6/29/21 AT 6:45 PM Sean Ross Mcclinchy came into the station to report a Hit and Run.

MV 1 followed MV 2 and MV 2 eventually stoped in a parking lot in Watertown. The operator of MV 2 refused to give his information to the operator of MV 1 and drove away in his car for the second time. The operator of MV 1 was able to take down the license plate of MV 2. A few hours after the operator of MV 1 came in to report the Hit and Run I spoke on the phone with the operator of MV 2 and he stated that it was a tight squeeze on the street and he side swiped the MV 1. He also stated that he panicked and that is why he left the scene without providing his information. MV 1 was damaged on the drivers side with scratches on the door, the wheel well, and the mirror was broken. MV 2 had scratches on the drivers side also according to the driver of MV 1. Neither party was injured during this collision. I sent a Criminal Application in the mail to the operator of MV2.

On Monday, July 12th 2021, at approximately 5:24pm, I, Officer Brooks, responded to the parking lot of the Barn, 229 Walnut street, for a car accident. I spoke with the owner of MV1(MA REG 9937PH), who stated she had been parked here all day, and when she came out to her car there was a note on the windshield stating "Sorry i hit your car, foot slipped on wet". Her vehicle sustained damage to the drivers side front bumper. The note contained the license plate for MV2 (MA REG 54542), and the registered owners name. Dispatch attempted to reach her by phone but was unable to speak with her. MV2 was still on scene and parked in front of MV1. MV2 had minor damage to the front bumper. It appears the operator of MV2 was pulling into the parking spot and struck MV1. There were no injuries and both vehicles were able to be driven from the scene. The report number was given to both involved parties.

On 07/27/2021, while assigned to N494, I, Officer Conary, spoke with DEALE, Cathy (Operator of MV1) over the phone about a past hit and run. DEALE explained to me that she parked Westbound on Washington Street in front of 513 by the fire hydrant. Between 1200-1400 MV1 was hit on the driver side, and the mirror broke off. Operator of MV1 did not see any other vehicle standing by, she left the area and notified Newton Police. Operator of MV1 sent me pictures to confirm the damage. I went back to the area of where the accident was reported and confirmed glass and a pieces of a mirror on the side of the road.

Operator of vehicle 1 was backing out of a parking space in front of 199 Boylston St when he struck vehicle 2 which was traveling eastbound in the parking lot. Vehicle 2 did not stop and left the area. The plate given for vehicle 2 was 962WNZ and I had two phone numbers for the vehicle owner (h:617-558-7264 and C:617-834-7806). I made several unsuccessful attempts to contact the owner of vehicle two and will follow up on my next tour of duty.

While driving through the parking lot she did notice the other vehicle was clost to her but did not realize they had made contact.

Upon arrival, I observed damage on the rear bumper of vehicle 2 which was parked and unoccupied. A witness, Paul Shoemaker, stated he saw vehicle 1, a white Chrysler PT Cruiser, operated by a male party back into vehicle 2 which was parked in front of 96 Warwick Rd. He stated a female party then got out of the vehicle to observe the damage. She then got in vehicle 1 and drove away towards Waltham St. The witness was unable to view the license plate. Mr. Shoemaker stated that his neighbor, the owner of vehicle 2, Marcelo Chaves, is away in Brazil and did not have a phone number for him.

On Sunday, August 22, 2021, I was contacted by Sgt. M. Wade of the Newton Police Traffic Bureau at 0032 hours. Sgt. Wade stated a serious motor vehicle crash occurred on Washington Street in Newton and it involved a City of Newton marked police cruiser (N494). Sgt. Wade stated Officer Katelyn Pohlman and the operator of the other vehicle involved were transported to the hospital with potential serious injuries. I was requested by Sgt. Wade to respond to the scene from my residence and investigate the crash further. On arrival at the scene, I observed the two vehicles involved in the crash to be a 2015 Ford Explorer (MA: 586RT7) and Newton Police marked unit N494 (MA MVN: MP494B). These vehicles were observed disabled on the roadway in front of 612 Washington Street, Newton. There was a large debris field comprised of various parts from both vehicles on the roadway and in the parking lot of 612 Washington Street. The road surface at the time of my arrival was wet and there was light rain falling. Sgt. Wade reported that at the time of the crash the road was completely dry and it had not started to rain yet. Washington Street is a public way maintained by the City of Newton. The portion of Washington Street where the crash took place supports two- way travel, Eastbound and Westbound. There are two travel lanes in both directions. Travel direction is divided by a double yellow line in the middle of the roadway. The area is well lit and features numerous light poles illuminating the roadway. The closest intersection to this location is Crafts Street just west of the crash location. MV1 (MA: 586RT7) had substantial front-end damage, especially to its front passenger side and was inoperable. 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. MV2 (MA MVN: MP494B) had substantial front end damage and was inoperable. The impact from the collision caused the vehicle to spin uncontrolled and the final rest, with the front end of the vehicle facing the front entrance to the 7-11 (S). The vehicle's final rest was on the sidewalk in front of 612 Washington Street. 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. MV2 was removed from the roadway by Tody's Towing. The Officer involved in the crash is Officer Katelyn Pohlman. Officer Pohlman stated she was operating Newton Police marked unit N494 on Washington Street (E) past Crafts Street. Officer Pohlman stated as she was operating her vehicle past 612 Washington Street (7-11), a vehicle in the westbound lane of Washington Street abruptly crossed the double yellow line in the roadway and entered her travel lane head-on. Officer Pohlman stated she did not have an opportunity to react to the vehicle in front of her and the front passenger side of MV1 crashed into the front end of her vehicle (MV2). 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. Officer Pohlman rendered aid to the operator while waiting for Newton Medics to arrive. Officer Pohlman was also assisted in rendering aid to the other operator by Officer Conary and Officer Larson. Officer Larson reported that while interacting with the operator of MV1, the operator repeated numerous times, "Is she ok? Is she ok?". Officer Larson also stated the operator said to him "I feel bad because I was texting on my phone". Officer Larson stated the operator of MV1 works for the Department of Corrections Special Operations Unit and has Department issues equipment inside the vehicle. The following items were placed into Support Services, locker 9 for safekeeping by Officer Larson: 1 Gray Pelican Gun Case, 1 Black Gun Belt, 1 Taser, 1 Can OC Spray, 15 (50) Round Cases Of Ammunition. The operator of MV1 (MA: 586RT7) was identified as Mr. David Cafarelli (S16965940). Mr. Cafarelli was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital for a potential head injury before my arrival. I spoke with Mr. Cafarelli at Newton Wellesley Hospital in the Emergency Room with Sgt. Wade. Mr. Cafarelli's mother and father were present when we spoke with him. Mr. Cafarelli stated he was out with friends before the crash and was driving to the 7-11 on Washington Street. Mr. Cafarelli admitted that before the crash, he had his cell phone in his hand while he was operating his vehicle. Mr. Cafarelli stated he does not remember if he was texting or changing the music on his phone at the time of the crash. Mr. Cafarelli stated he looked up and was unable to avoid the vehicle (N494) directly in front of him. Mr. Cafarelli stated he also does not believe he applied his brakes before the collision. When we spoke with Mr. Cafarelli in the Emergency Room, he was still waiting for test results to determine the severity of his injuries. On Monday, August 23, 2021, Sgt. Wade responded to 612 Washington Street, Newton to retrieve surveillance footage from the 7-11 of the crash. 7-11 stated their outside surveillance system was not operating correctly, but they were able to capture some of the incident from a camera inside the store. I observed this footage. MV1 is observed traveling on Washington Street (W) in the westbound travel lane in front of the storefront. MV1's driver side is then observed traveling over the double yellow line in the middle of the roadway and into the eastbound lane of Washington Street. A head on collision ensues and MV1 can be seen rotating counterclockwise in the roadway backwards to its final rest location on Washington Street. MV2 is then observed at its final rest position on the sidewalk facing southbound in front of the 7-11 storefront. After completing my investigation, I have surmised the following. Mr. Cafarelli was operating his 2015 Ford Explorer (MA: 586RT7) in the area of 612 Washington Street, Newton. Mr. Cafarelli was holding his cell phone in his hand while operating his vehicle. Mr. Cafarelli became distracted while he was operating his vehicle due to his attention being focused on his cell phone. Mr. Cafarelli traveled over the double yellow line from the westbound lane of Washington Street and entered the eastbound lane of Washington Street. Newton Police marked unit N494 was traveling on Washington Street (E) in the area of 612 Washington Street at this time. Mr. Cafarelli's vehicle crashed into the front end of Newton Police marked unit N494. Mr. Cafarelli was not wearing a seatbelt and as a result of the impact from the crash, he was ejected from the driver seat and his final rest inside the vehicle was in the flood of the front passenger seat. As a result of my investigation, Mr. Cafarelli was issued Massachusetts Uniform Citation for Chapter 90, Section 13B (Hands-Free Violation), Chapter 89, Section 4a (Marked Lanes Violation), and Chapter 90, Section 13a (Seat Belt Violation). Photos from the crash scene and the surveillance media from 7-11 capturing the crash were submitted to the IT Bureau.

Upon arrival, I observed vehicle 1 parked on Richards Circle with minor damage to the drivers side mirror. Operator 1, Matthew Kelly, stated he was parked by the curb on Crafts St (public way in the City of Newton ) across from F.A. Day Middle School and when he entered his vehicle and closed the driver's side door, vehicle 2 side swiped his vehicle causing damage to his mirror. He then saw Massachusetts Registration: 1GRH91, a White 2012 Nissan Rouge, continue northbound on Crafts St and not stop. Operator 1 stated he followed vehicle 2 on Crafts St until he got to the Waltham line on Waltham St. Operator 1 then pulled into Richards Circle and called dispatch to report the accident. Operator 1 stated he could not tell if Operator 2 was a male or female, but stated there was damage to the passenger side mirror of vehicle 2. The registration for vehicle 2, comes back to a Walter and Analise Wilson out of Waltham. Waltham PD responded to both of their addresses to attempt to raise them with negative results. There was also not a phone number listed for either party. There was no injuries reported and no tows were needed. Traffic Bureau update (Officer Gaudet): I attempted to contact both registered owners for MV2 with a negative result. A "Hit and Run" inquiry was mailed to Mr. Walter Wilson and Ms. Analise Wilson regarding their possible involvement in this crash.

On September 2, 2021, I responded to the front desk of Newton Police Headquarters to speak with Charles Rankin who wanted to report a past hit and run. Mr. Rankin stated his vehicle (vehicle 1) was parked unoccupied by the curb at 70 Orchard Ave ( Public way in the City of Newton) on Tuesday, August 31. Later that day, he discovered damage to his drivers side mirror. He stated that a note was left behind stating that Massachusetts registration: V91699 struck his vehicle and left the area. He does not know who left the note due to no contact information being left behind. Mr. Rankin showed me a picture of the damage and it appears vehicle 2 side swiped vehicle 1 causing significant damage to the mirror. Mr. Rankin did research and discovered that the plate is registered to JCAC Enterprise out of Milford and provided me with a phone number. It should be noted that when I queried the plate it comes back to that company as well. I will attempt to follow up with the company during business hours on my next tour of duty. On September 3, I called JCAC Enterprise and spoke with an employee who stated they do not have any information on someone driving a truck in the area. They also stated that Mr. Rankin called them and they are going to pay for damages.

Mv#1 was parked unoccupied opposite #8 Burrage Rd (N/B). #1 was sideswiped by an unknown Mv that left white paint transfer damage on #1's driver's side front end side and also struck the driver's side mirror all causing moderate damage. I spoke to the resident at 8 Burrage Rd. The resident stated a visitor in his house, Jonathan Kaplan, witnessed the accident. The resident stated Kaplan told him he observed a white sedan bearing MA Reg CIAF31 (Mv#2) attempting to parallel park between #1 and another Mv. During the attempt, #2 was observed sideswiping #1. Kaplan further stated a male operator got out of #2, left a note on #1 and drove away. Mv#1 owner/operator Ms Joan Beer stated no note was ever found. Later from HQ, I called the witness phone number provided (617-455-2557) by the resident of 8 Burrage Rd. I called that number, received VM and left a message. A query of #2 registration comes back on a '18 white Lexus G350 to a Mr Barry Benjamin of 79 Florence St #510S Newton. I received information Mr Benjamin's phone number was 339-223-0079. This number when called was not Mr Benjamin's. Later from HQ, I spoke to Ms Beer and provided her with the witness plate number observed as the paint color is a match to the damage sustained on her Mv. She was advised insurance company will investigate further based on current information received. Later, the witness Mr Kaplan returned my phone call and provided the following statement: Kaplan stated he was in his driveway outside directly across the street from where the accident was taking place. Kaplan stated the accident was very obvious as damage was unfolding while Mr Benjamin was attempting to squeeze between Mv#1 and another vehicle. Kaplan stated after realizing he (Mr Benjamin) could not fit he started to drive away. Kaplan stated it drew the attention of another witness (unknown) standing on the street when both walked up to Mr Benjamin's vehicle and asked him if he was going to leave a note for the damaged vehicles. Benjamin refused. Kaplan described Benjamin's overall demeanor as "rude." Kaplan stated he told Benjamin he has cameras capturing the incident. Not until then, Benjamin got out of his car and left a note on only the other vehicle reported to be minor license plate damage. Kaplan stated Benjamin never left a note on Mv#1, the vehicle with obvious moderate damage. Kaplan stated he actually viewed the note left on the other vehicle and said it was illegible. Kaplan told Benjamin this and Benjamin yelled to him "mind your own business" and drove away. Kaplan stated his ring doorbell camera was not positioned to capture any of the incident. Traffic Bureau update (Officer Gaudet): On September 8, 2021 I was able to make contact with the operator of MV2, Mr. Barry Benjamin (S42076881). Mr. Benjamin stated he was operating his 2018 Lexus G350 (MA: CIAF31) at the time of the crash. Mr. Benjamin stated he was backing his vehicle into a parking spot and the space ended up being too small. Mr. Benjamin stated the rear of his vehicle crashed into the front bumper area of MV1, knocking off it's license plate. Mr. Benjamin stated he got out of his vehicle and put the plate back on MV1. Mr. Benjamin stated he left a note in the vehicle with his contact information and left the area. I asked Mr. Benjamin if he was aware of making contact with another vehicle in the area. Mr. Benjamin stated he did not make contact with any other vehicle. Mr. Benjamin stated there was no damage to his vehicle and stated he would e-mail me pictures of his vehicle and pictures of MV1 that he took on scene. Those pictures were forwarded to the IT Bureau to be added to this report. Mr. Benjamin also stated in his e-mail, "My wife informed me that the homeowner who contacted the police called my wifes attention to a car up the street. The car was on the opposite side near a dirt road that had been side swiped earlier. My wife said, "That has nothing to do with us" and the homeowner agreed that that situation did not involve our car." At this time, no charges will be filed against Mr. Benjamin for leaving the scene of property damage.

On 9/7/21, Brooke Movitz DOB 5/6/99 came to NPD Headquarters to report a hit & run of MA reg 646NM7. Movitz states she was parked in the Newton Centre Lot in a row of parking stalls near Walgreens on the Langley Rd side. Around 1315 hrs, Movitz noticed damage to the left rear side of her vehicle. She stated that the vehicle parked next to her, MA reg 298MS7, had damage to the front left side and was parked at an angle that may suggest an improper turn into the parking spot (see diagram). Movitz was able to show me two pictures of minor damage to both vehicles, however I am not able to confirm that the damage is related to each other via the photographs. A white male with spiky hair in his 40's drove off in the vehicle, according to Movitz, but there was no interaction between the two. I was able to make contact with the owner of the vehicle in question, who told me that his son Daniel Suleski III DOB 4/10/92 was operating his car today. Suleski was able to be reached by phone and was adament that he did not hit another vehicle. Suleski did state he was parked in the Newton Centre Lot around the time in question.
