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:
The OP. of MV#1 was unable to give me a statement due to a possible head injury. He kept repeating "where's my car" and "what happened?" 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:
The witness stated she was travelling southbound on Lexington St a few vehicles behind MV#1 and observed MV#1 veered towards the northbound travel lane and striking the city tree and retaining wall of 106 Lexington St. The witness then pulled over and assisted the operator of MV#1. The operator of MV#1 stated she was travelling southbound on Lexington St and was "multi tasking" inside her vehicle when she veered off into the northbound travel lane, jumped the curb onto the sidewalk and got wedged in between a city tree and the retaining wall of 106 Lexington St. The operator of MV#1 was not injured but could not exit her vehicle because the doors were wedged in between the tree and retaining wall. MV#1 sustained heavy front end damages, broken front passenger window, front passenger wheel and deployed driver's side airbag. The operator of MV#1 stated she was not injured and was evaluated by Newton Paramedics and signed a patient refusal. The operator of MV#1 was coherent and appeared to be of sound mind and health. I transported the operator of MV#1 to her home and Tody's Towing took possession of her vehicle. Traffic unit 535 took photographs of the damaged city tree.

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.
