Narrative:
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.

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

Narrative:
Operator of Vehicle 1 states he was travelling Northbound on Ferncroft Rd when the operator became briefly distracted by his phone. Vehicle 1 then struck the curb and a tree on the West side of the road in front of #64 Ferncroft Rd, causing extensive damage to the front of the vehicle and airbag deployment. The operator denied any injuries and declined medical treatment. Vehicle 1 was towed from the scene by Tody's Towing. Newton Fire responded to clean up engine fluids that had leaked on the roadway. The witness who initially reported the crash to 911 stated that she observed the operator of Vehicle 1 pass her location at a higher than reasonable rate of speed and was looking down at his phone. I then issued the operator Mass. Uniform Citation #T1448099 (Written Warning) in hand to the operator's mother as his agent for a violation of C90ss13B Texting While Driving
