Vehicle one had significant damage to the front passenger side wheel well and passenger door. Vehicle two had a long deep scratch from the passenger side front door to the rear door.

Upon my arrival at the crash scene with Sgt Devine I was briefed by Officers Daly and Anderson, ( see Ofc Daly's report for further information CAD # 20054728 in regard to changes take out against the operator of the truck ) I made the following observations of the crash scene, Nahanton St is a public way in the City of Newton that is a two way roadway divided by an unprotected merdium ( double yellow line ) that runs east to west. The roadway surface was wet due snow and ice. The roadway was plowed and the snow was pushed to the shoulder, althought wet the roadway was icy. There was approximately 2 inches of snow on the shoulders of the roadway. The road was light with overhead head street lights. The posted speed limit is 25 MPH. I observed a 2013 Chevrolet Silverado pick up truck that had major front end damage. The Chevrolet was at an angle with it's front end facing west bound and resting on the grass shoulder and into a wooded area. The Chevrolet rear was sticking out into the shoulder of the east bound lane of Nahanton St. The passenger side front and rear doors of the Chevrolet had been removed by the fire department to extricate the driver and passenger. The driver and passenger side air bags were deployed . The front passenger side windshield of the Chevrolet was completely missing and the driver's side had completely shattered. The front tires, hood, and engine had been compacted on it's self. The front and rear driver's side doors had been mechanically open by the fire department. The speedometer needle had stopped at 54 MPH. The Chevrolet left the roadway and left tire marks in the snow in the eastbound bike lane of Nahanton St. At a 106.4 feet from the beginning of the tire marks the first point of impact was with two tree stumps that were 3.5 feet from the roadway, four feet tall and 3.5 feet in diameter. The tire marks continue in the east bound bike lane and exit the roadway and onto a dirt shoulder at 136.1 feet from the beginning of the tire marks. The truck continued to the right of a utility pole and then it's passenger side made contact with a tree at 170.8 feet from the begin of the tire marks. The tree was 12 feet from the bike lane approximately 5 feet in diameter. The impact with the tree caused the truck to turn so that the rear was facing north east on the dirt shoulder and bike lane. The final point of rest of the rear passenger side tire was 200 feet from the beginning of the tire marks. The truck's rear diver side tire final point of rest was 209 feet from the beginning of the tire marks. The front driver's side tire was compacted into the trucks engine and the passenger side front tire was located behind the tree approximately 20 feet from the roadway.

On 02/07/22 I was dispatched to Washington St. @ Center St. for a two car motor vehicle accident. Upon arrival the operator of MV1 stated that he was driving on the right lane of Washington St and turned right to merge onto Center St (S/B). The operator of MV1 stated that the operator of MV2 was in the middle lane when he tried to merge onto the right lane which caused MV1 to hit MV2 on the right side of the bumbler. As they continued driving straight MV2 stopped which caused MV1 to tap the rear bumper of MV2 Causing minor damages to the bumper. The operator of MV2 stated that he was the one driving on right lane when the operator of MV1 hit him in the rear bumper. The operator of MV2 stated that he had the right away which is why MV1 crashed into his bumper. I asked the operator of the of MV2 how did he get damage on the right side of his vehicle to which he replied he was not sure, and that it was there already. He then continued to say that he must of hit the snow bank which caused the damage but the snow bank was a lot lower than where the damage was. Based on my observation the damage is consistent with what the operator of MV1 stated. Medics arrived on scene and both operators denied medical attention.
