Narrative:
Operator of MV#1 stated he was travelling westbound on Commonwealth Ave with his dog in the front seat when he slid on ice and off the roadway. The roadway was wet from previous snow fall but was very well plowed and sanded. MV#1 hit a curb, drove through a snowbank, hit a tree with the left front of his vehicle and then hit a pole with the right front side of his vehicle. The car then came to a rest in the median. The operator appeared confused by the accident and did not realize the extent of the damage to his car.He asked what he had hit. He continuously asked if it was driveable even though the entire front end was totaled. He was able to provide me with his license and all pertinent information but spoke in a slow manner. There was no odor of alcohol. Operator declined medical attention. When asked if he was on any medication he stated he was on heart medication. We were able to contact the operator's son who was transported to the scene and stated the operator had previously suffered a stroke. David Donahue arrived on scene towed the vehicle to Tody's. A licensed driver picked up the operator. A search of the immediate area yielded negative results for ice in the roadway. A request for Immediate Threat License Suspension/Revocation was filed.

Narrative:
Mrs. Weiss stated that she was attempting to back out of her driveway at 285 Crafts Street when her vehicle accelerated for no reason "like a bat out of hell." The vehicle then crossed Crafts street at a high rate of speed, jumped the curb, crossed the large grass island, and only stopped when the vehicle crashed into a tree. Mrs. Weiss was uninjured and signed a patient refusal. The vehicle sustained moderate damage to the tires, undercarriage, and rear bumper and was towed from the scene by Todys. Photos were taken of the damaged city tree and were placed in the IT bureaus mailbox to be attached to this report. Based on the facts that Mrs. Weiss could not explain the reason for the cars acceleration, the distance the vehicle traveled without stopping, and the close proximity of the crash to an elementary and middle school I filed a request for Immediate Threat License Suspension/Revocation. All proper paperwork as well as a copy of this report were faxed to the Registry of Motor Vehicles.

Narrative:
On 5/20/19 at about 1510hrs I was dispatched to 136 Evelyn Rd for an MVA. En route to the location with Ofc Gourdeau, it was determined by first arriving Ofc Gourdeau that a vehicle had crashed through a fence at the end of Troy Lane and came to rest in the backyard of 126 Evelyn Rd. On arrival, I located the vehicle operator, identified as Mr Stuart Phillips who was operating MA Reg 8VVP40, an '03 Jaguar S Type model. Mr Phillips was walking around the backyard after the collision and appeared coherent as to what had transpired. He sustained a laceration to the top of his head and was bleeding heavily. We sat him down in a lawn chair prior to medics arrival to evaluate. When asked what happened, he stated he "hit the gas instead of the brakes". I asked him where did the accident begin? He stated he was turning around at the end of Troy Lane (a dead end cul de sac) and crashed through the fence there. Mr Phillips was alert and speaking clearly. I asked him if he was on any medication? He stated he was taking Plavix only, a blood thinner. I asked about his medical history and he stated he was released from Spalding Rehab today for treatment from a stroke and was receiving occupational therapy. Medics arrived to evaluate and he was transported to NWH for treatment. An investigation of the crash path of the vehicle revealed the following based on tire tracks and damage left behind: The vehicle crashed through the fence at the end of the cul de sac belonging to 41A Helene Rd; Vehicle drove over that back lawn, clipped the back deck attached to the rear of the house; damaging the base of the deck and lattice below; Vehicle travelled over the patio, then crashed through shrubbery down an embankment leading to the backyard of 132 Evelyn Rd; Vehicle drove through backyard of 132 Evelyn, then continued along the side of the house where it drove over damaging three retaining walls and clipped a large tree; After driving over the third retaining wall, vehicle continued through the backyard of 126 Evelyn, causing significant lawn damage; Vehicle continued until it hit the back of the house at 126 Evelyn; there, it drove over the rear patio before it struck a ground level basement window and window well; It came to a rest there where the vehicle caught on fire under the hood. Witnesses helped extinguish the fire with a garden house (see incident report #19020129) until NFD arrived to knock it down. Significant front lawn damage to 126 Evelyn occurred as well as NFD was arriving on scene to what was first reported as a structure fire. Several photos of the area were taken by myself. The memory chip was TOT the I.T. bureau to be attached to this report. Tody's towing towed the vehicle out of the backyard by accessing the rear driveway of 132 Evelyn Rd. Mr Phillips cited for Negligent Operation and an Immediate Threat for License Suspension/Revocation faxed to the RMV. Troy Lane is a public way in the City of Newton.

Narrative:
At approximately 1620HRs on Thursday, July, 25, 2019, I was dispatched to 444 Washington St. in reference to a truck vs tree motor vehicle crash. Upon arrival, I noted MV1 (MA Vet: 22098) had partially left the roadway and came to rest when it struck a city tree on the sidewalk. Additionally, I noted MV1 struck MV2 (MA Pass: 5CN826), which was parked on the road in front of the tree/aforementioned address. MV1 sustained damage to its front clip and was leaking fluids. MV2 sustained damage to its right rear bumper/quarter panel area. Upon speaking with the operator of MV1, an employee of Tony's Auto Services, he stated that he was test riding the vehicle after they made repairs to its power steering system. He stated that as he traveled eastbound on Watertown St. at approx 30MPH, the vehicle's brakes failed and he guided MV1 towards the tree in an attempt to stop it without injuring anyone. Todys Services took custody of MV1. Newton Fire cleaned up the leaking fluids and the operator of MV1 signed a patient refusal with Newton Medics. Newton Dispatch notified the city to see if they wished to inspect the tree which was still freestanding and appeared to only suffer minor damage. Tony's Auto Services notified the owner of MV1 and I notified the owner of MV2 of the crash. I submitted a picture of the tree to IT to be attached to this report. I cleared without further incident.

Narrative:
On Tuesday, September 10, 2019 while assigned to Traffic unit N525, I responded to the area of Beacon Street and Roslyn Road, Newton for a report of a motor vehicle/bicycle crash. The weather at the time of the crash was overcast. The road surface was dry. Beacon Street and Roslyn Road are both public ways maintained by the City of Newton. I spoke with the bicyclist involved in the crash, Steven Greenzang (S96615185). Greenzang stated he was traveling Westbound on Beacon Street in the shoulder lane on his black Specialized bicycle. Greenzang had a yellow reflective vest on and was wearing a helmet at this time. Greenzang stated a vehicle in the travel lane to his left drove by him and hit the mirror located on his left handlebar. I observed damage to the mirror. Greenzang report no injuries. I spoke with the operator of MV1, Sarah Bonfanti (S66811372). Bonfanti stated she was parked in front of 1411 Beacon Street waiting to pick up a co-worker that resides at that address. Bonfanti stated a bicycle traveling on the sidewalk to her right crashed into the passenger side door mirror of her 2008 Toyota Scion (MA: 681YH1). Bonfanti stated the bicyclist was acting "crazy" during her interaction with him and he was trying to take her picture. Bonfanti stated she got back into her vehicle and moved up the roadway to wait for police to arrive on scene. I canvassed the area where the accident occurred with Sgt. Dempsey. There was glass from the passenger side mirror of MV1 and Greenzang's bicycle in the main travel lane of the roadway and the shoulder lane where Greenzang stated he was traveling. We also observed a large tree and a telephone pole on the sidewalk next to the roadway where the accident is alleged to have occurred. After speaking with all parties involved, observing the location of the glass in the roadway from the crash, and the location of the tree and telephone pole on the sidewalk where he accident occurred; Greenzang would not have been able to operate his bicycle on the sidewalk and be close enough to the roadway to make contact with MV1. Prior to clearing the accident, I asked Bonfanti if she had any questions and if she wanted to report any injuries. Bonfanti stated she was hit by the bicyclist during her exchange with him and began grabbing her left leg. I asked Bonfanti why she did not inform the officers on scene that she was assaulted. Bonfanti stated she said something to our Dispatch when she called. I asked Bonfanti if her leg was injured. Bonfanti stated I was putting words in her mouth and that she was just scratching her leg. Bonfanti then stated she was hit in the right shoulder. I asked Bonfanti if she would like an ambulance to respond and evaluate her. Bonfanti declined and stated she was more concerned about her mirror. I advised Bonfanti if she wanted to pursue charges against Greenzang she could do so in Newton District Court. I listened to the 9-1-1 recording Bonfanti made in regards to this incident. Bonfanti stated a pedestrian busted out her window. Bonfanti then stated to our dispatcher that the bicyclist lost control of his bicycle and smashed into her car. During her exchange with the our dispatcher, I did not hear Bonfanti say she was physically assaulted by Greenzang.

Narrative:
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.

Upon speaking to the operator of MV1, he stated that he was traveling Southbound on Melrose St. when he navigated around a parked car in front of the above address and as he did so, may have overcorrected or due to the current road surface condition, accidently struck the tree. The front seat passenger of MV1 concurred with the operator's statement. Both parties stated they were not injured. MV1 sustained damage to its front end. As MV1 was not impeding traffic, AAA contacted and towed MV1 at the behest of the operator. I cleared without incident.

Witness#1 (Mr. Regan) states he was travelling westbound on Auburn St. when MV#1 went to the oncoming traffic lane and passed him on the left at a high rate of speed. He estimates the speed at 70mph. He saw MV#1 hit the speed bump on Auburn St., possibly losing control, and then onto Evergreen Ave. with a large cloud of dust. Witness#2(Mr. Weishaus) was on his balcony and observed MV#1 travel at a high speed of rate on Auburn St. He estimates the speed at 100mph. He observed MV#1 go up Evergreen Ave., launch into the air and crashed. Witness#3(Mr. Litvak) states he was on his porch and heard a loud sound of a motor engine approaching. MV#1 then crashed into his retainer wall and flew through some trees before landing on his neighbor's yard. Based on witness statements and the accident scene, it appears that MV#1 went off the roadway and struck a retainer wall at #15 Evergreen Ave, launched into the air and struck parked MV#2 in the process, went through some trees that flipped the car around before landing on the property of #23 Evergreen Ave. The OP. of MV#1 was ejected from the vehicle at some point in time.

Narrative:
On August 1, 2020 I responded to a single motor vehicle crash at 1200 Walnut St. I spoke to the owner of MV1 who said that he parked MV1 in front of 1177 Walnut St to run across the street and pick up his mail. When he exited his vehicle, he noticed that his vehicle began rolling southbound on Walnut St and crashed into city poles in front of 1200 Walnut St. The owner of MV1 said that he had recently got his vehicle inspected but periodically would have the brake light come on and was planning on contacting his mechanic. MV1 has a manual transmission, and the owner said that he put the vehicle in gear, shut the vehicle off and used the electronic emergency brake. He believes that the emergency brake may have malfunctioned, causing the vehicle to roll southbound on Walnut St and crash. As a result of the crash, MV1 sustained front end damage and there was visible damage to the city poles (used to protect the tree on the sidewalk). Officer Raymond took photographs of the damaged city property and submitted them to IT to be attached to this report.

Narrative:
I responded to the area of 63 Pierrepoint Rd for a report of an MVA single car crash into a tree. I responded to the area at approx. 1752 hrs 09/19/2020. I was advised by NPD Dispatch that the vehicle was unoccupied and that the vehicle has been there all day according to the anonymous reporting party.. When I arrived on location I observed MA Reg. 31542 off the roadway facing westbound directly in front of a tree. This was located directly in front of the residence of 63 Pierrepont Rd. The vehicle was unoccupied with heavy front end damage and front and side airbag deployment. The windows were left 2/3 of the way open and the cars ignition key was left on the driver's seat. The vehicle had collided into a city tree. There was debris from the vehicle at the base of the tree. The tree had visibly been hit but there was no damage to the tree by my observation. I contacted the vehicle owner Edward G. Murray Jr. He confirmed that he had knowledge of the crash. His son Edward G Murray III was the operator at the time of the crash. Murray III had a female passenger Diana Moreno 07/12/2004. I spoke with both Murray Jr. and Murray III via telephone. Murray III stated he was driving following his GPS and suddenly an animal which he believed to be a small dog suddenly ran in front of the car. Murray III swerved to avoid hitting the animal and drove off the road and collided into the tree. He stated the crash was at approx. 0950 on 09/19/2020. I also spoke with Diana Moreno (passenger), via telephone. She could not tell me what preceded the crash as she was looking at her cell phone just prior to the crash. Murray III and Moreno confirmed they were not injured as a result of the crash. Murray III contacted his father and informed him of the crash. Neither party contacted police. Murray Jr contacted AAA to respond advising the vehicle needed to be towed. Murray Jr. stated he was not further contacted by AAA and assumed that the vehicle was towed. Murray III and Moreno left the vehicle parked off the roadway as AAA was not immediately responding. I photographed the crash scene. The photo memory disk has been submitted to NPD IT bureau. The vehicle was towed by Tody's Service Inc.

I observed slight damage to the front of vehicle #1 however a tow was not needed. Medics responded and documented a patient refusal from operator #1. This incident was called in by detail Officer B. Keefe, who was working a National Grid detail at this location (one lane was blocked off by cones but there was still a full travel lane being utilized for northbound traffic). A plate could not be obtained by anybody on scene due to the crash occurring so quickly. It is believed that there was black lettering on the truck, however what it said is unknown. Forestry was notified to remove the branch from the roadway.

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.

On November 16, 2020 at approx 1247 hours I responded to the area of 866 Beacon Street for a report of motor vehicle crash with City property damage. Upon arrival I spoke with the oper of vehicle 1 Mr. Quinn, he stated while traveling east bound on Beacon Street, he pulled over to park properly the right top corner of the dump body had contact with a City tree in the area of 866 Beacon Street. I observed the dump truck in the eastbound lane of Beacon Street with damage to the right side dump body, right side of truck cab, passenger side door, mirror and passenger side fender, there may have been more internal damage, but I could not asses due to the tree leaning against the truck. I looked around the crash site area, I observed the City tree was not trimmed properly and was too far into the roadway in the normal path of travel for all vehicles. Forestry arrived on scene cut up and disposed of the tree. I took pictures of the crash site area that I will download at the I.T. Bureau I advised Mr. Quinn of the process.

Narrative:
On 12/05/2020 at approximately 22:00 hours I was called in to respond to a single vehicle crash with serious injuries in the area of 291 Nahanton St. Nahanton St is a pubic way in the City of Newton. 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. Sgt Devine took photos of the crash area and of the truck and the disk was download by the NPD's IT Bureau. The truck was towed from the crash scene by Todys's Towing to their lot for storage, I fill out a towed motor vehicle form. There were no reported witness who observed the crash. The crash was reported by an unknown passerby. On 12/07/2020 Ofc Gaudet faxed a request for preservation of medical records, blood and urine samples of Schneider to Beth Israel Deconess Medical Center.

At approximately 0558HRs on Monday, May 10, 2021, I responded to 303 Auburn St. for a report of a 3 car motor vehicle crash. Upon arrival, I observed the 3 vehicles in question, which included MV1 (MA Pass: 922WA6) in the roadway and MV 2 (MA Con:J95164)/MV3 (MA Pass:3CR718) which were angle parked. Upon speaking with the operator of MV1, they stated that they were traveling on Auburn St. (West Bound ), when their coffee cup fell out of the cup holder and as they attempted to catch it, they inadvertently caused MV1 veer out of the roadway, colliding with MV2 and push it into MV3 and a city tree in front of the above address. Upon processing the scene, I observed damage to the driver's side fender/hood area of MV1, where it struck MV2. MV2 sustained damage to its driver's side fender/hood area, center bumper/hood area and passenger's side fender/hood area; its rear bumper where it struck the tree did not show any signees of outward damage. MV3 sustained damage to its driver's side fender/bumper area. The operator of MV1 reported no injuries and the remaining 2 operators were inside a local eatery during the time of the crash. Todys Services arrived and removed MV1, while MV2/MV3 were driven away. Dispatch notified Forestry to examine the tree. And I cleared without incident.

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 08/30/2021 I spoke to a worker for Stumpys Tree Removal who was doing work on Chestnut Hill Rd when their trailer which hauls all of their equipment was struck by another vehicle. Chestnut Hill Rd is a private roadway and is very narrow. The trailer was parked as for over as it could be when it was struck. The operator of vehicle 2 stopped and told the workers he wanted their information so he could sue them. The workers told him he they were calling the police and at this time the man said he lived at #140 and left. The trailer had minor damage. While speaking to the workers I saw several drivers get by the trailer with no issues. I then respond to #140 and spoke to the operator of vehicle 2, William Brisk. The vehicle was parked in the driveway with heave side damage. Brisk came to the door eating a muffin and asked me to come in. I asked Brisk what had happened and he stated he asked the workers to move the trailer and they refused and waved him by. He attempted to get by and struck the trailer. I asked Brisk why he did not wait for police to arrive and he stated he had nothing to hide. I also asked why he sat down and had something to eat instead of calling the police to report the incident and he stated he was hungry. No injuries were reported and no tows required.

Narrative:
When I arrived on the scene I observed a tractor trailer stopped in the middle of Gordon Rd (#112) with wires across the top of MV#1 and a city owned tree down on the ground next to the roadway. The operator of MV#1 states that his tractor trailer was detoured to Gordon Rd (south bound) from Chestnut St when he believes the top of his truck caught some low hanging wires and also took down a tree. After further observations of the downed tree and viewing additional damage to MV#1, it appears to me that the passengers side of MV#1 struck the city owned tree, knocking it down which then took down the wires. There also appeared to be damage houses (#111) in the area and at least one MV parked in the driveway at #112.

Narrative:
On November 21st, 2021 at approximately 07:56 hours while working N491 I along with Officer Mike Boudreau responded with NFD and Medic One to a report of a MV crash with injuries in the area of Centre St @ Franklin St. On my arrival the Medics were evaluating two adult males who standing outside one of the involved vehicle from this crash. There appeared to be several involved vehicles to this crash however two of them had been parked prior to the crash. The vehicle which the two unidentified males were standing by was MA reg. 9HY939, a 1988 Black Ford F150 PU, listed registered owner was a Peter J. Jara-Castro, #28 Ridge Ave, Lynn Ma. Mr Castro was one of the two males standing by that truck. The above vehicle appeared to have been travelling N/B on Centre St when it skidded off the road, jumping the curb striking a 1 foot slate retaining wall to the property to #573 Centre St. It continued onto that property driving over shrubs, small trees, then onto the driveway(same address) which is actually on Newtonville Ave, hitting the homeowners 2007 Nissan Versa, Ma reg. 6BH269, forcing it into more shrubbery. The Truck continued across Newtonville Ave where it struck another parked vehicle, a Grey 2019 Volkswagon, Ma reg. 1NFC27 on the rear passenger side pushing it forward. The truck finally came to a stop after driving into a wooden fence to the property of #559 Centre St.(Fence is on Newtonville Ave.) I spoke with the owner of the truck after he was evaluated by the Medics, who spoke limited English. The owner of the truck Peter Jara-Castro finally said he was driving the truck prior to the crash. His statement was he was travelling N/B down Centre St when another vehicle came out from Newtonville Ave causing him to slam on his brakes. Mr Castro doesn't remember much after that, possibly from hitting his head. At this time I couldn't determine who the actual driver was. Both Mr Castro and the passenger, sustained injuries but both declined to go to the hospital. Both were later picked up by an UBER driver. A Firefighter heading to work reported seeing the truck pass him on Centre St N/B at high rate of speed but never saw the driver or the actual crash. Both property owners that sustained damage were given Trucks insurance info. Pictures were taken by both property owners. Vehicle #1 and vehicle #2 were towed from scene. Both sustained heavy damage. Vehicle #3 sustained minor damage I was unable to make contact with that owner at this time. However later in the day I was able to make contact with owner of vehicle #3. She was given all vehicle #1 information along with his insurance. A citation for speeding was later issued after investigation was completed and witness statement. Citation#t1444076 was later sent VIA mail.

Narrative:
On Monday 1/3/22 at approximately 0854 hours while assigned to marked unit n498 I was dispatched to the area of 241 Nahanton Street for a report of a single car crash, motor vehicle into a tree with unknown injuries. Upon arrival I spoke with the operator, TEIXEIRA Kevin, who was standing outside of his vehicle and uninjured. TEIXEIRA states he was driving eastbound on Nahanton street and coming around the bend when he observed a motor vehicle in the westbound lane swerve to avoid something. When the other motor vehicle swerved it crossed the double yellow line and entered the eastbound lane coming at TEIXEIRA head on. TEIXEIRA states to avoid contact with the oncoming vehicle he swerved into the Westbound lane of Nahanton Street going off the road and striking several trees. TEIXEIRA states he was unable to observe a license plate number or what type of car crossed the double yellow line. TEIXEIRA states everything happened very quickly which prevented him from getting any other information. He states one motor vehicle pulled over and inquired if he was injured, but did not see what happened. TEIXEIRA further states the motor vehicle that swerved into his lane never stopped.
