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 1/2/19 I was working N503 when I responded to Watertown St. at West St. for a report of an MVA hit and run. Upon arrival I met with Jennifer Nave who stated that she had rear ended a white colored SUV style vehicle in front of 414 Watertown St. Nave stated after she struck the vehicle she pulled over to the side of the road and the other vehicle drove away.

On 01/04/19 I responded outside of #54 Needham St for a two vehicle crash. Veh #1 was a delivery box van who was driving due North on Needham St. The operator of veh #1 stated he was attempting to take a left into #55 Needham St. when veh #2 came from behind him on his left and he struck veh #2 as he turned. The operator of veh # 1 was taken by Ambulance #1 to Newton-Wellesley Hospital for an evaluation after complaining of pain in his chest area. The passenger of veh #1 stated everything happened "so fast" he didn't see what transpired. Moderate damage to veh #1. The operator of veh #2 stated he was traveling due North on Needham St. and was behind veh #1 for a long stretch of the road. The operator of veh # 2 stated veh #1 put his right directional on three different times but didn't turn. He stated veh #1 had his right directional on and was in the right lane when he went to pass him. Veh #1 then turned into his rear passenger side as he passed. Moderate damage to veh # 2. The operator of veh #2 stated the operator of veh #1 was walking around and yelling about the accident for a period of time and then eventually grabbed his chest and fell to the ground complaining of pain. From the result of my investigation it appears as if veh # 1 attempted to turn from the wrong lane and veh # 2 was passing in the "suicide lane", also wrong lane. There will be no citations issued at this time as both operators were given verbal warnings.

The operator of Vehicle #1 stated that as she was travelling Northbound on Pearl St, she collided with Vehicle #2. She stated that she didn't see it, prior to the collision.

On 1/5/19 at 1210hrs I was dispatched to the Pelham St Municipal Lot (public way inviting access maintained by the City of Newton) behind CVS for a report of an MVA involving several vehicles.

I first made contact with a witness identified as Sharon Corliss. Ms Corliss stated she was sitting in her parked vehicle and observed Mv#1 backing out of the end spot next to CVS. She explained once #1 had came to a stop from backing, #1 then pulled forward, drove over a curb island and continued driving straight into the two parked vehicles. Ms Corliss stated it appeared #1 was travelling about 5mph preceeding the crash. After the medics intial evaluation of Ms Hymanwegscheider, I was able to ask her what happened? She stated she backed out of her space, hit the curb going forward and then put her foot on the gas instead of the brake before the collision. She was deliberate when speaking and appeared confused. She reported to medics she had no medical history and was not using any medications including allergy medication as well. She reported she did not hit her head after the collision. She was then transported to NWH for further evaluation after medics discovered her blood/sugar readings were very low. I advised Ms Hymanwegscheider her vehicle had heavy damage and was being towed by Tody's and to expect paperwork at the conclusion of the crash investigation. It appeared #1 struck Mv#2 first on its driver's side rear before striking Mv#3 parked next to it on the passenger side rear. #1 wedged itself between #2 and #3, #3 was then pushed to the left into the passenger side of Mv#4. #2 and #3 sustained heavy rear end damage. #4 sustained light damage. #1 towed by Tody's with heavy front end damage. #2 arranged for her own tow through her insurance company. A note was left on #3, and #4 was able to be driven from the scene. Ms Hymanwegscheider is showing no MV infraction/no accident history.

The fire department was attempting to wake the operator who was unresponsive. The fire department ended up administering 2 doses of Narcan to the operator before he became responsive. The operator was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital by Cataldo for further evaluation. Based on the accident scene, it appears the operator was traveling southbound on Cherry street, crossed over the center line into oncoming traffic, striking the fire hydrant in front of 154 Cherry street, and then crossed back over into the correct lane of traffic before coming to rest in front of 171 Cherry street. The vehicle was towed by Tody's towing, and an inventory form was filled out and filed.

MA commercial reg M94754 (vehicle #1), a City of Newton pickup/sander truck, was located crashed over the curb in front of 1970 Beacon St. The vehicle was unoccupied, had the keys in the ignition, and was reported stolen just a few minutes prior to discovery. The reporting party of the stolen truck and uninvolved occupant is identified as City DPW worker George Sementelli. The witness/passerby who discovered the collision is also a DPW worker, identified as Donny Brandt. Pursuant to an investigation outlined in incident #19002213, the operator at the time of the crash was determined to be Michael Carter. It is believed that Carter stole the vehicle from 295 Auburn St, fled the area, and ultimately crashed in front of 1970 Beacon St. Corroborating facts outlined in the incident report put Carter as the operator. The vehicle itself was located partially on the sidewalk and partially on the road, therefore Carter is being cited with MGL 89/4A - Marked Lanes Violation (T1268423). Due to the fact it is believed that Carter fled the scene after the crash, MGL 90/24/C - Leaving the Scene of Property Damage was added as well as MGL 90/23/D Operating After a Suspended LIcense, and MGL 90/24/O - Reckless Operation of a Motor Vehicle. The crash occurred during busy weekday commuting about 0.7 miles from Angier Elementary School. The last 3 charges mentioned have been listed on a second citation (T1268422). Officer Brooks also issued T0648082 for OUI Drugs MGL 90/24/G. See the incident report for details about this charge. In total, there are (3) citations issued to Carter. The vehicle sustained heavy front end damage. It should be noted that the utility pole a couple of houses down from the crash site (Beacon/Varick Rd, pole #212) sustained fresh, minor superficial damage, consistent with the vehicle crashing into it before verring onto the sidewalk. Pictures have been taken and submitted to the IT bureau. Tody's responded and towed the vehicle to the police garage for processing due to the pending other criminal charges involved in this accident/incident. Michael Carter was subsequently placed under arrest and his citations have been placed into his property. Carter suffered a hand injury due to the crash an was transported to NWH Hospital for an evaluation after he was booked.
