Jerome was already halfway through the crosswalk at this point. It was dark, but there was a streetlight directly over this crosswalk on Walnut St creating a semi-lit area for visibility. Mrs. Gittes stated that she didn't see him because he was wearing dark clothing and it was dark outside. She saw him when it was too late. There was no damage to her vehicle.

On Sunday January 6, 2019 at approximately 1747hrs, I responded to the intersection of Pleasant Street and Centre Street for a report of a city motor vehicle crash. Upon arrival I located all vehicles pulled off on Pleasant Street about 50 feet from the Centre Street intersection. The City vehicle involved was Newton Police Cruiser N 496 ("MV #2") and it was driven by Officer S. Siegal. Siegal reported that he was directly behind MV #1 and observed the vehicle make a left turn onto Pleasant Street which was against the one way sign. Officer Siegal reports upon seeing this illegal turn he immediately turned his emergency lights and was trying to make a motor vehicle stop. The vehicle immediately stopped and while trying to back up and turn around, the vehicle backed into his cruiser. Officer Siegal reported that the vehicle was backing at just a few miles per hour. MV #1 was MA Reg. 3ZN523 a 2004 Nissan Sentra. This vehicle was operated by Huihui Tang. Tang reported that she was trying to go to CVS at that intersection when she turned onto Pleasant Street. Tang reported when the emergency lights were activated she tried to turn around and made minor contact with the police cruiser. During our conversation there was a bit of a language barrier and Tang appeared confused on why we needed to do a report. There was no injuries or any damage to any vehicle. Centre Street and Pleasant Street are Public ways in the City of Newton. Officer Siegal issued Tang MA Uniform Citation T0646880 for violating 19/85 for operating the wrong way. This citation was mailed to Tang. The initial citation issued on scene was later voided due to an address error. Officer Siegal also took pictures of both vehicles.

On Wednesday, January 9, 2019, while assigned to Traffic unit N525, I responded to 457 Walnut Street, Newton for a report of a past motor vehicle/pedestrian accident involving a student at Newton North High School. I met with the pedestrian involved in the accident, Ellie McBride, in the Riley House admin office. McBride is a Freshman at Newton North High School. McBride's mother, Linda Hanusaik, was also present while I spoke with her. McBride stated at approximately 0740 hours, she was attempting to cross Lowell Avenue in a marked crosswalk at Highland Street (E). McBride stated she observed a newer model gray Acura SUV traveling towards her Southbound on Lowell Avenue while she was standing in the crosswalk. McBride stated she thought the vehicle was going to slow down for her. McBride stated as the vehicle got closer it appeared to be slowing down but was unable to avoid making contact with her. The front end of MV1 made contact with McBride's left side. The impact caused McBride to fall down onto the roadway. McBride stated the vehicle pulled over and the operator exited the vehicle to check on her. McBride stated the operator was a white female with long brown hair, possibly high school aged. McBride stated after she told the operator that she wasn't hurt, the operator returned to her vehicle and left the area, possibly towards Commonwealth Avenue. McBride could not provide any additional information about the operator of the vehicle involved. McBride stated she then walked to Newton North High School. McBride stated she went to her morning class but left and texted her mother to tell her she was involved in an accident. McBride stated she was shaken up by the accident, but reported no injuries. Newton Medics evaluated McBride and obtained a patient refusal. McBride was advised that due to the reported age of operator, they may be a student at the high school. McBride was advised that if she sees the operator to obtain her information/contact NPD. I checked the area of Lowell Avenue and Highland Street for the vehicle involved/witnesses with a negative result. A portion of Newton North's athletic fields are next to this intersection.

On 01/09/2019, at 1806 hrs, I responded to Washington St. on the Mass Pike overpass for a two car MVA. Upon arrival, I observed MV1 to have damage to the front passenger side and MV2 to have damage to the drivers side. No injuries were reported. The area of Washington St where the accident occurred is five lanes across in the same direction. The operator of MV1 stated he was attempting to change lanes to his right when he collided with MV2. The operator of MV2 stated he was attempting to change lanes to his left when he collided with MV1.

MV1 was traveling southbound on Walnut St when the operator, Saptarshi Ganguly, stated that he began to feel fatigued, believed he blacked out and then woke up after impact with MV2. Mr. Ganguly stated that he takes Atenolol for vasovagal syncope. I know this to be a condition that makes individuals feel like they are going to faint. He stated he was diagnosed with the disorder about 10 years ago. MV1 crossed over the double yellow lines on Walnut St and collided head-on with MV2 who was traveling northbound on Walnut St. Two witnesses (Kyle Fieleke and Edward Aybar) at the scene corroborated the story and said that MV1, in a 2015 BMW X535I, MA Reg: 668BG5 veered into the opposite lane and hit MV2 head-on, a 2018 Tesla Model3, MA Reg: EV585N. MV1 operator, Saptarshi Ganguly, was issued MA Uniform Citation T1440468 for 89/4a for Marked Lane Violation. A Request for Medical Evaluation form was filled out for Saptarshi Ganguly and faxed to the MA RMV at 857-368-0018 as I am unable to determine his driving ability. Both operators were transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital to be evaluated. Both vehicles had extensive front end damage and were towed by Tody's towing.

The operator of MV#1 stated she was travelling northbound on Walnut St attempting to make a left turn onto Hull St when her front passenger mirror was struck by MV#2 who was travelling northbound on Walnut St. The operator of MV#1 stated the operator of MV#2 must have known their vehicles made contact because he stopped momentarily, looked at her and drove away at a high rate of speed. The operator of MV#2 was described as a white male in his 40's. The registration for MV#2 was 7KX977. There were no reported injuries to the operator of MV#1 or its passenger. There were no visible damages to MV#1. A query of MV#2 (MA REG 7KX977) showed that it is registered to a female party out of a Newton MA address. I was able to speak to the registered owner of MV#2 and she stated that her husband was driving her vehicle this morning and gave me his cell phone. I spoke to the husband (Operator of MV#2) and he verified that he was travelling northbound on Walnut St earlier this morning but was unaware that he had made contact with any other vehicles on the road. I examined the driver's side mirror of MV#2 and did not observe any visible damages. The operator of MV#2 was forthcoming with his statements. There were no reported injuries to the operator of MV#2. Based on the statements made to me I advised all parties involved that this accident will be documented.

I spoke to the operator of two Ms. Heimbrock, she stated she is a pastor for the Salvation Army in New York and she was transporting two children Shamah Lapaix d.o.b. 4-18-14 and Grace Lapaix d.o.b. 1-10-11 to a Christian school in Wayland. She stated that she is staying with the children at 65 Falmouth Road Newton MA with the childrens grandmother due to the fact the parents are in New York doing a continuing education program until Friday January 18, 2019. She stated she is not familiar with the area, she was traveling south on Lexington Street approaching Freeman Street when she glanced at the map on her cell phone. She stated she did not observe the color of the traffic signal and did not observe the rear brake lights in vehicle one. All parties were evaluated in vehilce two by medics with no injury. I spoke with the childrens mother Sarah Lapaix 1-203-685-2809 who confirmed Ms. Heimbrock's statement about the care of the children. I did observe an expired inspection sticker as of 12/18 on vehicle one. Therefore due to operator of vehicle two's statement I checked the rear brake lights.

On the above date and time I responded to the area of Watertown Street at Pearl St for a report of a traffic signal that was knocked down. Upon arrival on scene I observed the traffic signal knocked over and tire impressions of a possible sidewalk plow. I took pictures of the crash site area and will have them downloaded at the I.T. Bureau. I canvassed the area and found a City of Newton sidewalk plow with the operator. I spoke to the operator who stated he observed the damaged traffic signal and moved it out of the way but he did not have contact with it.

On Tuesday January 22nd 2019 at approximately 1615 hours I responded to a two car motor vehicle accident at the intersection of Beacon Street and Crescent Ave, both are public ways in the City of Newton. At the time of the accident the current weather conditions were clear and dry with the road conditions extremely icy and snow covered. Upon arrival the medics were evaluating the operator of MV1 for slight back pain. The operator of MV1 signed a patient refusal and stated she was headed westbound on Beacon Street and stopped at the intersection of Crescent Ave, attempting to turn left. The operator of MV1 stated she came to a complete stop and had her left turn signal on waiting to turn onto Crescent Ave. She states MV2 then rear ended her and she pulled over the side of the road to wait for police assistance. MV1 was completely disabled with major rear end damage. MV1 was towed by Todys. The operator of MV2 stated he was traveling behind MV1 and attempted to stop behind MV1 but due to the icy road conditions, MV2 failed to stop and collided with MV1. The operator of MV2 refused medical attention and was able to drive MV2 from the scene.

At approximately 1615HRs. on Thursday, January 24, 2019, I was dispatched to the intersection of Elliot St. and Boylston St. for a report of an MVA. Upon arrival, I located the operator of MV1 (MA Pass: 1NB459) who had pulled into the BP gas station. He stated that he was traveling Northbound on Elliot St. when his traffic signal turned red and he brought his vehicle to a complete stop at the intersection. He stated that at this time, he was rear ended by MV2. He and the operator of MV2 then got out of their respective vehicles and spoke about the collision, after a few moments, the operator of MV2 got in her vehicle and left. Using the picture of MV2's license plate (MA Pass: 3EY477) which he provided me, I was able to contact the operator of MV2 at her residence. She stated that she was traveling Northbound on Elliot St. and observed MV1 come to a stop and she applied her brakes and came to a complete stop aswell, without making any contact to MV1. She further stated that the operator of MV1 became agitated and started to yell at her. She then left because she asserts that there was no collision and she was concerned by the operator of MV1's behavior. I observed no damage to MV1's rear bumper area, with the exception of an old dent, approx. the size of a quarter, which was highlighted with some type of permanent marker. I observed no damage to MV2's front bumper area and I noted large, pronounced license plate bolts affixing MV2's license plate to its bumper. The operator of MV1 stated that he was suffering from back pain due to the collision and elected to drive himself to Carney Hospital. Due to there being no damage to either vehicle and the large plate bolts on MV2, which would have likely caused notable damage to MV1's bumper, I will not be charging the operator of MV2 with leaving the scene of an accident at this time. Both parties have been advised to contact their insurance companies and I cleared without incident.

On 01/26/19 at 09:58 hours, I responded to a two car motor vehicle accident at Chestnut and Elliot Streets with no reported injuries. Both streets are public ways and maintained by the City of Newton. Operator of M/V # 1 (Quinn) states that she was stopped at the intersection of the above mentioned intersection going (EB) on Elliot Street. Once she received the green light signal she proceeded straight through and was struck by M/V # 2 on her passenger side. The vehicle sustained heavy damage to the passenger side front quarter panel area and it was towed by Tody's towing. Operator of M/V # 2 (Sanaguaray) states that he was operating straight ahead (NB) on Chestnut Street. He states that he thought the signal light was yellow when he proceeded through and does not recall what happened next. The vehicle sustained heavy front end damage and it was towed by Tody's towing. There were two witnesses to the accident. The first one, Karen Cherson, stated that she was traveling behind M/V # 2 when she observed him speeding and run through the red light striking M/V # 1. She said that the light was red by at least two seconds when M/V # 2 went through it. The second witness, John Quackenbush, states he was operating behind M/V # 1 when he observed their travel lane receive the green light signal. M/V # 1 then attempted to proceed through the intersection when it was struck on the passenger side by M/V # 2. Based on the two witness statements, it appears that Sanaguaray (M/V # 2) proceeded straight through the above mentioned intersection against the red light signal and struck M/V # 1. Sanaguaray was also operating a motor vehicle without a license and was issued a MA Uniform Citation # T1441052 for Ch. 89/9 and Ch. 90/10/A. He further stated that he has resided in Massachusetts for five years and was assigned a number of #S19552221 through the MA RMV but it shows no license status.

Upon my arrival, I observed M/V#2 stopped in the right land of Ellis St. aprox. 20 feet south of the Rte 9 overpass, and M/V#1 was stopped by the curb, in the left lane, aprox. 40 feet south of the intersection. The operator of M/V#1 stated that he came off Rte. 9, stopped at the stop sign, then turned right (south) on to Ellis St. where M/V#2 collided with it. The operator of M/V#2 stated that she was traveling south on Quinnobiquin Rd, and proceeded through the intersection, when M/V#1 turned right, in front of her, and they collided. I spoke to a male party, who was seated in a car, in a parking area on Ellis St. who stated that he heard the accident, but did not see it.

On Tuesday, January 29, 2019, while assigned to Traffic unit N525, I responded to the intersection of Cherry Street and Webster Street, Newton for a report of a motor vehicle accident involving a City of Newton owned vehicle. Cherry Street and Webster Street are both public ways maintained by the City of Newton. The weather at the time of the accident was overcast. The road surface was dry. The operator of MV1, John Bryant III (MA: S61611545), stated he was operating a City of Newton owned Volvo BL70 (MA MVN: M84236) Eastbound on Webster Street past Cherry Street. Bryant stated as he came to a stop in traffic, MV2 crashed into the rear of the vehicle he was operating. I observed minor damage to the rear bucket area of MV1. Bryant reported no injuries on scene and signed a patient refusal with Newton Medics. Bryant works for the Utilities Department with the DPW. The operator of MV2, Andrew Bell (NJ: B23900426706004), stated he was operating his 2013 Volkswagon (NJ: C54KKJ) Eastbound on Webster Street past Cherry Street. Bell stated he was following MV1 a little too close while they were traveling down Webster Street. Bell stated while traveling down Webster Street he looked down quickly but does not remember why, and when he looked up MV1 had come to a stop. Bell stated he could not avoid crashing into the rear of MV1. I observed significant damage to the front hood/windshield area of MV1. Bell was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital with a minor injury. Bell was provided with Massachusetts Uniform Citation T1272991 in hand for Newton City Ordinance Chapter 19 Section 71 (Following Too Closely) . Pictures were taken of both vehicles and submitted to the IT Bureau.

Oper of Veh #1 stated he was stopped for stop sign and was struck by vehicle #2. Oper of veh # 2 stated she was traveling SB on Bridge Street and tried to stop but unable to because of the icy conditions. Skidded into a left turn causing her rear end to hit Veh # 1. The road was a sheet of ice and there were multiple accidents in the area. Passenger of veh # 2 was checked by medics and mom signed a refusal.

On 01/31/19 at 08:56 hours, I responded to Dedham and Walnut Streets for a two car motor vehicle accident with no injuries. Operator of M/V 1 states he was stopped for the stop sign facing northbound on Dedham St towards Walnut St. He then proceeded straight through and observed M/V 2 coming at him so he tried to speed up but M/V 2 ended up striking him on the driver's side rear quarter panel area. He did state that M/V 2 did stop for the stop sign after him but did not understand why they were attempting to come through the intersection. The vehicle sustained minor damage to the driver's side rear quarter panel area and had a flat tire. The operator waited for Triple AAA for the flat. Operator of M/V 2 states she was stopped at the stop sign facing eastbound on Dedham St attempting to take a left turn on to Walnut St. Due to the bright sun and glare, she did not observe M/V 1 coming through the intersection and struck him. The vehicle sustained front end damage to the grille and bumper but the vehicle was still driveable. At the time, I did observe the sun to be blinding at the accident location and there was a lot of glare.

MV1 stated he was "driving to fast around the corner and hit the pole." MV1 actually hit a curb, took down a street light, went up on the island hitting another street light prior to hitting the curb. The second light he struck fell on MV2. MV1 sustained heavy front end damage and was removed from the scene by Tody's Towing. MV2 stated that MV1 "came flying across the intersection, crashed into 2 poles, one of which hit my car and he crashed over there." I then observed minor damage to MV2, however it did not require a tow. Both parties signed patient refusals with Cataldo Ambulance. Operator of MV1 was arrested and charged with the following: M.G.L. 90/24/J OUI Liquor M.G.L. 90//24/E Negligent Operation M.G.L. 89/4A Marked Lanes Photos of the scene were captured and turned over to the IT Bureau. Daigle Electric notified of the damaged lights.

Operator of MV1 (Mass. reg 4458XR) states he was traveling east bound on Commonwealth Ave when he approached the intersection. He states he had a flashing yellow light, slowed down and proceeded through the intersection when he collided with MV2. Operator of MV2 (CT reg. AA22048) states she was traveling north bound on Walnut Street when she approached the intersection. She states her light was solid green and slowed down as she proceeded through the intersection because MV1 was also proceeding through the intersection. MV2 and MV1 collided. When on scene I observed the traffic lights to not be working properly. The north bound traffic lights on Walnut Street were completely out and at times would flash red. The Commonwealth Ave lights were flashing yellow. It appears the cause of the accident is a faulty traffic light. Dagle Electric had to come out to the crash scene to re set the faulty lights.

MV1 was traveling SOUTH on Cherry St through the intersection of Webster St. MV2 was traveling WEST on Webster St through the same intersection. MV2 collided with MV1 inside of the Cherry St/Webster St intersection causing heavy front end damage to MV2 and damage to the rear drivers side wheel and fender. MV1 operator, Leah Wilson, stated that she had a green light and proceeded through the intersection when she was hit by MV2. MV2 operator, Caroline Steiner, and her 12yo daughter (passenger/front seat) Lorelai Steiner, stated that they were proceeding through the green light and observed MV1 going at a high rate of speed through the intersection. No injuries reported. Both vehicles towed by Tody's. MV1 operator, Leah Wilson was issued in hand MA Uniform Citation T1440472 for 89/9 - Red Light/Fail. On scene, I observed debris surrounding the four-way intersection and MV1 laid to rest past the intersection and facing the wrong direction in traffic. The damage to both vehicles was severe and MV1 had air bag deployment. The reporting party was an NPD auxiliary officer who had responded prior to my arrival because he heard the crash from the backyard of the police station which is approximately 350-400ft. Based on my training and experience, I believed Leah Wilson to be traveling through the intersection while failing to yield to the traffic control device.

MV1 sustained minor damage to the right rear and was able to drive away from the scene safely. MV2 came back registered to GOMES, Leonel of 72 High St. Waltham, and dispatch requested Waltham PD respond to check for the vehicle. Waltham PD located the vehicle in the driveway and the registered owner was sitting in the vehicle. An ELMUS, Elmer was on scene to translate for the operator as he only spoke Spanish. Dispatch relayed to me that there was no status found on GOMES' license, and upon speaking to GOMES and ELMUS they confirmed he did not have a license or passport. GOMES relayed to ELMUS that he was aware that he struck MV1 at the intersection of Washington St. at Church St. He stated that the light was green and that he was traveling Westbound on Washington St behind MV1.

Vehicle 1 was travelling straight ahead, westbound on Watertown St. Vehicle 2 was in the left turn only lane, and taking a turn onto Crafts St. The operator of vehicle 1 stated they needed to swerve off of the road to avoid getting struck by the rear of vehicle 2. Vehicle 1 struck the curb with their right front tire. The tire popped and the rim was damaged. No one was injured due to the accident. Vehicle 1 was towed by Tody's. A level 3 inspection was done to vehicle 2 by Officer Marini, and a citation was issued.

Operator of MV1 states he was traveling eastbound on Lagrange St approaching Bryon Rd when MV2 made an "unusual" left turn attempting to travel southbound on Bryon Rd. Operator of MV1 states when MV2 made the left turn, MV2 collided with MV1 causing damage to the left front corner panel and drivers side door. Operator of MV2 states he was traveling westbound on Lagrange St approaching Bryon Rd to take a left turn traveling southbound on Bryon Rd. Operator of MV2 states while making the left turn, MV1 looked like it attempted to come to a stop but slid due to the snow and slippery road conditions. Operator of MV2 states his tires spun out attempting to make the turn and struck MV1 with the front left corner panel causing significant damage. It should be noted the weather during this time was heavy snow with wet and slippery road conditions, which is a determining factor on how the accident happened.

MV1 was coming down the Rte 9 West off ramp to Chestnut St. Operator was traveling too fast for the snowy road conditions and failed to stop for the stop sign at the bottom of the ramp. A snow storm had started 2 hours prior to the accident and road conditions were slippery. MV1 struck MV2 broadside who was traveling north on Chestnut St with the right of way. MV1 struck MV2 hard enough that MV2 was pushed across the lane and into MV3 that was stopped at the stop sign southbound. According to the operator of MV2, MV1 was traveling "way too fast for conditions" over 30mph. Operator MV1 was cited for 89/9 failed to stop for stop sign and 90/17 speeding too fast for road conditions. Operator was also cited on Citation T1272992 for 90/23 operating after suspended license. Boylston St and Chestnut St are public ways in the city of Newton.

On 2/13/19 at approximately 2045 hours, I responded to a single vehicle accident. The operator was driving northbound on Woodland rd and was taking a left hand turn on to Maple st when the car slipped on the snow/ice and collided with the no parking sign on the sidewalk. No injuries reported. Todys was notified to help assist getting the vehicle off of the sign. Two pictures were taken and submitted. The city was notified of the sign being down and in need of a replacement.

At approximately 0110HRs on Sunday February 17, 2019, I was dispatched to the area of Dedham St. and Spiers Rd. (both public ways in the City of Newton), for a report of a motor vehicle vs pole accident with injury, airbag deployment and entrapment. Upon arrival, I exited my cruiser with my medical bag and AED and went to assist the motorist involved in the crash. MV1 (MA Passenger: 255ZA9) was completely off the roadway and on the shoulder of the road (facing Eastbound) with its nose contacting the light pole ( Verizon Pole #:103/80), which was now broken and listing to the side. Attempts to open the doors were unsuccessful and I attempted to communicate with the operator through a partially broken driver's window frame which was bent. The operator was slumped forward with his hand cradling his head and he was unable to speak, but was breathing. Newton Fire arrived and attempted to gain access to the vehicle via several manual tools with no success and instead deployed the Jaws of Life which was successful. Newton Fire also made entry into the rear passenger compartment because we viewed a child's car seat and checked with negative results for any child in the vehicle. Once the operator was cut out of his seatbelt and safely out of MV1 and on board Newton Medic 1, I entered the ambulance where he was identified as Mark Topham. It should be noted that Topham was having difficulty answering basic questions such as his name, date of birth, today's date, Etc. At one point when he was asked what today's date was, he gave his birth date of February 21, 1983 and it took him several attempts to say his last name, I had to run him over the air with a partial name to ascertain who he is. Also of note, in my presence and that of Sgt. Devine, Topham informed the medics that he had been consuming alcoholic beverages prior to the crash. Upon viewing the scene, I noted that the roadway was lit and I did not observe any skid marks on the dry, ice-free payment, indicating that there was unlikely any braking or swerving to avoid the collision. I spoke to the reporting party, Lindsay Giardina, she stated that she was traveling on Dedham St. when she heard what she believed to be a motor vehicle crash. When she came upon said crash, she attempted to assist the operator, as she was an off duty firefighter. She was unable to gain access to the inside of the vehicle, but communicated to the operator in the same manor as I did. She stated that she was able to smell the odor of an alcoholic beverage emanating from the operator. Topham was transported to Beth Israel of Boston, where he was assigned patient record number 3109921. I attempted to speak with him at the hospital, but was unable to do so because of his current state; I noted several injuries on Topham, such as a bloody lip, a wound to his lower left side and a wound to his left leg. Due to Topham's statements onboard of Medic 1 and Lindsay Giardina's observations, I will be charging Topham with one count of violating MGL Ch.90 S. 24 K OUI Liquor 2nd Offence, one count of violating MGL Ch.90 S. 24 E Negligent Operation of a Motor Vehicle and one count of violating MGL Ch. 89 S. 4A Marked Lanes Violation via MA Criminal Citations which I placed in the mail. Additionally, I will be seeking a subpoena for Topham's blood work from the hospital. Note: The crash occurred on the Newton/Boston line, Newton dispatch's GPS indicated that the crash was in Newton. I took several pictures of the scene and have forwarded them to IT to be attached to this report. I completed and filled an NPD Motor Vehicle Tow Inventory Form and Officer Boudrot stood by for the tow.

On Friday March 15th 2019 at approximately 0730 hours I responded to the intersection of Beacon Street and Herrick Road for a report of a hit and run involving a bicyclist. The weather at the time of the accident was cloudy and the road conditions were dry. Both streets are public ways in the City of Newton. Upon arrival I observed the victim identified as Glenn Butcher (MA OLN S36552335), inside the ambulance getting medical attention. Butcher was getting a bandage applied to his left leg and complained of leg, back and neck pain. Butcher appeared visibly shaken and in pain. Butcher stated he had the green traffic light and was travelling eastbound on Beacon Street crossing Centre Street and then continuing straight crossing Herrick Road. Butcher stated MV1 was travelling westbound on Beacon Street and took a left turn onto Herrick Road and collided into his bicycle. Butcher states upon impact he flipped over his bicycle and landed on the hood of MV1, before rolling off and landing on the ground. Butcher states he was wearing his helmet which was present. Butcher states his bicycle ended up partially under MV1. Butcher states the operator of MV1 pulled his vehicle to the side of the road and got out of his vehicle and spoke to several witnesses briefly. Butcher states the operator then left the scene without properly exchanging information and did not wait for the police to arrive. Butcher described the vehicle as a dark gray Honda, and described the operator as an older white male, 5'10 approximately 80 years old with white hair. Butcher was also able to provide an email address for another bicyclist who witnessed the accident. The witness left his information with Butcher prior to my arrival. Fire fighters on scene were able to get the registration number of the vehicle from the witness (MA REG 4CX148) and gave it to Officers on scene. Butcher was transported by Medic 1 to NWH with minor injuries. His bicycle had visible damage to the frame area and skid marks were present on both tires. 19 photographs of the scene and the bicycle were taken and sent to the IT dept. email. Officer Gabriel transported the bicycle to the station where it was logged into Property & Evidence for safekeeping. Dispatch was able to query the registration which came back to a gray, 2010 Honda Accord registered to a Matthew Sugarman (MA OLN S38601397), out of W. Roxbury. Dispatch contacted the Boston Police Dept. and had them send an Officer to the address to try to make contact with Sugarman. Sugarman was advised to contact the Newton Police Dept. and I was able to speak with him on the telephone. Sugarman states he was driving the vehicle today and was involved in an accident with a bicycle. Sugarman states he was travelling westbound on Beacon Street and was taking a left onto Centre Street not Herrick Road. While speaking with Sugarman he seemed confused as to his location during the accident and was adamant that he was turning left onto Centre Street and not Herrick Road. I advised Sugarman that I was on scene with the first responding Officers and the accident clearly occurred at the intersection of Beacon Street and Herrick Road based upon the final resting place of the bicycle. Sugarman went on to state that his vehicle was already turning when the bicycle struck his vehicle and he believed it was the bicyclists fault. I advised Sugarman it appears the bicyclist had the right of way since it was traveling straight and that because his vehicle was taking a left turn, he failed to yield for on coming traffic at an intersection. When asked why he did not stay at the scene of the accident Sugarman stated he got out of his vehicle and spoke to the bicyclist and he "seemed okay". Sugarman states he then left the scene while the victim was still sitting on the ground. I asked Sugarman if he had ever been involved in accident before and he replied "no." I advised Sugarman that I am currently looking at his drivers history and see nine accidents that he was involved in. Sugarman stated "he has never been in accident like this before." I then asked Sugarman what the law states when you are involved in an accident and he was not able to provide me with an answer. I advised him that the law states you must stop and exchange information before leaving the scene of an accident. Again he stated the bicyclist seemed okay and "he had somewhere to be so he left." Sugarman has an extensive drivers history including nine surchargeable accidents, reckless operation, two different charges of leaving the scene property damage and two immediate threat affidavits filed against him. I advised Sugarman that I will be mailing him a citation for Ch89 s8 Fail to yield to oncoming traffic, and Ch90 s24 Leaving the scene of personal injury. I also filed an immediate threat form with the registry. I emailed the witness using the information he provided to the Newton Fire Dept that was on scene and received a phone call back from the witness identified as Bruce Adams. See witness report for his statements. I contacted the Bank of America located at 808 Beacon Street in Newton, as they are the closest business to that intersection with video surveillance. I spoke with George Walsh (781-834-8275) who stated they do not have any working cameras on that side of the building to the bank. For this report the bicyclist is entered as a non-motorist for validation purposes. Witness Bruce Adams (MA OLN S96398108) stated that he was riding his bicycle travelling behind the victim about 100 feet away. Adams states he was watching the victim and had a clear view of him as he travelled behind him, through the green traffic light heading eastbound on Beacon Street. Adams stated he witnessed MV1 travelling westbound on Beacon Street take a sharp left turn onto Herrick Road which turns into Union Street. Adams stated that the vehicle turned left colliding into the bicycle and there was no possible way the bicyclist had time to stop to avoid the collision. Adams stated the victim flew over his handle bars and fell on top of MV1's hood and then landed on the ground. Adams stated the victim's bicycle was stuck under MV1's front bumper. Adams stated the operator of MV1 backed his vehicle up with the bicycle still attached to his vehicle bumper and pulled MV1 over to the side of the road. The operator then got out of his vehicle and walked up to the victim who was laying on the ground visibly in pain. Adams stated the operator asked the victim if he was okay to which the victim did not immediatley reply as he was visibly shaken up. Adams stated the operator then walked back to his vehicle and attempted to leave the scene and that is when Adams stood infront of MV1 to stop him from leaving the scene. Adams stated he then removed the bicycle from underneath the bumper of MV1 and placed it on the side of the road. Adams stated the operator got out of his vehicle again and walked up to the victim and asked him "what do you want to do?". Adams stated the victim did not respond and that is when the operator got back into his vehicle and drove away, leaving the scene before any emergency response arrived. Adams stated he was able to memorize MV1's registration and stayed with the victim until police, fire and medics arrived. He stated he gave the fire dept the registration and his contact information prior to leaving the scene.

On the above date/time I responded to the area Dedham St/Parker St for a report of two motor vehicle crash with minor injuries. Upon arrival with Fire/medics I spoke to the oper of v1 Ms. Hollowell who had a shoulder injury due to side impact. She stated she was traveling on Dedham Street (east) applied her left turn signal and was turning left onto Parker Street when v2 went through the stop sign and struck her vehicle. I spoke to the operator of v2 Ms. Kuznetsova who stated she was stopped at the stop sign on Parker St ( south) She stated she accelerated forward turning left (east) onto Dedham St when vehicle one struck into her vehicle. Oper of v1 signed a patient refusal and oper of v2 had no injury. Both parties were unsure of the area in the intersection of impact, all vehicles were moved by the operators prior to my arrival and I could not find any physical characteristics in/ on the roadway to find impact area. Therefore the diagram reflects the damage points on the vehicles but not the impact area on the roadway. All parties advised of the process.

On the above date/time I responded to the area of Cherry Street and Webster Street for a three motor vehicle crash with injuries. Upon arrival along with Sgt. Dempsey, Fire/medics. I spoke with the operator of vehicle one. He stated he was stopped on Webster Street facing westbound a the red traffic signal. He further stated the traffic signal on Webster Street turned green, he accelerated forward. He stated vehicle two traveled north on Cherry Street at a high rate of speed through the red traffic signal. He stated he had no reaction time due to the speed of vehicle two and had impact. I spoke to the operator of vehicle two. He stated he was traveling north on Cherry Street going too fast, he stated he thought it was a school zone so he slowed down and he did not observe the color of the traffic signal. He stated he observed vehicle one come out of the Webster Street at the last second at impact. I spoke with the operator of vehicle three. She stated only remembered being stopped on Cherry Street facing south. She stated she did not remember what color the traffic signal was, just knew she was stopped when she felt heavy impact from vehicle two. Injuries: Oper of V1 none at this time- patient refusal Oper of V2 none at this time - patient refusal Oper of V3 Head laceration and head trauma, transported to Newton- Wellesley Hospital Tody's towing arrived on scene and towed vehicles two, three to their tow lot. All proper paper work was done for a towed vehicle(s). All parties advised of the process. After the vehicles were towed, and the scene was cleared I watched the cycling of the traffic signals in the intersection and observed they were functioning properly. It appears a this time based on statements and physical characteristics of the impact area on the roadway, that vehicle two went through the red light on Cherry Street, which caused the crash.
