MV1 (MA Reg: 51JD62, 2007 green Toyota Pruis) operated by Marcia Gittes (DOB 11/29/1948) was traveling Southbound on Walnut St when it collided with a pedestrian in the crosswalk at Walnut St/Foster St. MV1 collided with a man, later identified as Jerome Shectman (DOB 10/7/1964). He had an injury to the back of his head, right hand, left shoulder and lower spine and was transported to Beth Israel Hospital. Witness, Patrick Clare-O'Brien saw the crash take place. He stated that the pedestrian, Jerome was crossing in the crosswalk traveling Westbound towards Foster St, successfully passed through the lane where vehicles were traveling Northbound on Walnut St and was then hit by the Toyota Prudish in the lane going Southbound. 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. Mrs. Gittes was given a monetary citation (T0646789) for 89/11 Crosswalk Violation. pictures were taken at the scene and the photo SD card was sent to IT.

Schectman stated he was attempting to cross Walnut Street east to west towards Foster Street. Schectman stated he entered the crosswalk after observing no cars traveling towards him in the Northbound lane of Walnut Street. Schectman stated he began walking across the street and stopped in the middle of Walnut Street after observing 2 vehicles traveling towards him in the Southbound lane. Schectman stated as the first vehicle went by, he stared at it as it traveled past him and down the street. Schectman stated as he looked back at the second car it was traveling right at him and he was unable to get out of the way. Schectman stated the vehicle hit him on his right side. Schectman listed his injuries as follows: fractured vertebrae, laceration to the back of his head, neck pain, and left shoulder/arm pain.

On Saturday January 5th 2019 at 18:01, I was dispatched to Crafts St at Waltham St for a report of a 2 car accident. Operator of MV1 stated he was driving southbound on Waltham Street and approached the intersection as the traffic control changed to red. He slowed down and came to a complete stop. Approximately 4-6 seconds later, he was rear ended by MV2. MV1 sustained minor damage to the rear passenger side. MV1 had three other occupants in the vehicle at the time of the accident. The two passengers in the back seat complained of back pain and were evaluated by Cataldo Paramedic Basic 3 and both signed patient refusals. The operator of MV2 stated as he approached the intersection he "was sleeping." When I asked him to elaborate further he was unable to provide me any answers. He was evaluated by PB3 and transported to NWH. He was issued citation # T1441363 for Operating Under the Influence of Alcohol (2nd Offense) and Negligent Operation of a Motor Vehicle. See Report #19000596 for further details. MV2 was towed by Todys Towing due to the operator being transported to the hospital and the passenger stating he was too intoxicated to drive. A towed motor vehicle form was filled out.

OPERATOR #1 WAS ON DEDHAM ST, HEADING EASTBOUND AT THE INTERSECTION OF BROOKLINE ST. SHE WAS ATTEMPTING TO TAKE A LEFT HAND TURN ONTO BROOKLINE ST. SHE STATES THAT THE CAR IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF HER STOPPED, AN INDICATION THAT THE DRIVER WAS LETTING HER TAKE A LEFT HAND TURN.

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.

On 01/15/2019, at 1919 hrs, I responded to the intersection of Washington St and Centre St for a two car MVA. Upon arrival, I observed heavy damage to the front end of MV1 and moderate damage to the rear end of MV2. The operator of MV2 complained of head/neck injuries and was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital by Cataldo for an evaluation. The operator of MV1 stated she was attempting to merge onto Washington St from Centre St when she rear ended MV2. The operator of MV2 stated when she slowed to merge onto Washington St from Centre St she was rear ended by MV1. Both vehicles were towed by Tody's. Towed MV inventory forms were filled out and filed.

On the above date/time I responded to Lexington Street / Freeman Street for a two motor vehicle crash with air bag deployment. Upon arrival on scene I checked all parties for injuries. Operator of vehicle one Ms. Farnese complained of head / neck injuries and Fire and Medics responded on scene. All parties in vehicle two did not have any injuries. I spoke with the operator of vehicle one Ms. Farnese in the ambulance she stated she was slowing traveling south on Lexington Street at the intersection of Freeman Street due to the traffic signal for Lexington Street was yellow. She stated as she was slowing she felt a heavy impact from in the rear by vehicle two. 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. When the brake pedal was pressed the left brake light and top(3rd) brake light was operational but the right rear brake light was not operational. Tody's towing arrived on scene and towed both vehicles top their lot. Ms. Heimbrock made arrangements for transport of herself and the children. Ms. Farnese was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital for non life threatening injuries. I advised all parties of the process and gave them each others information. I checked the traffic signals in the intersection and they were fully functional. Therefore with all the above mentioned I am issuing citations to both parties Operator of vehicle one citation # T1440538 for Chapter 90 Section 20 EXPIRED INSPECTION STICKER $ 55.00 Operator of vehicle two citation # T1440539 for City Ordinance 19-75 FAILURE TO USE CARE IN STOPPING $ 20.00 Both citations were filled out after investigation and will be mailed to their license address.

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.

Operator of MV1 (MA reg. 328XVF) states he was driving eastbound on Church Street and stopped at a red light. He realized he was in the left turn only lane and began turning into the right lane to proceed straight through the intersection. Operator of MV1 does not believe there was any contact between the two vehicles. Operator of MV2 (MA taxi reg. TA477C) stated he was in his lane when MV2 turned into him. I did not see any new damage to either vehicle. Operator of MV2 requested to be evaluated by paramedics. Cataldo paramedics responded and transported operator 2 to Saint Elizabeth's Hospital. MV2 was parked in Eaton Mac Kay Funeral Home parking lot and Veterans Taxi was notified. Veterans Taxi was unable to verify weather the damage on MV2 was new or old. They do not have a log of damage to the vehicle.

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.

On 02/07/2019, while assigned to N494, I, Officer Conary, responded to a MVA at Franklin Street and Waverly Ave. I met with the Operator of MV1 who stated that he was driving Northbound on Waverly Ave when MV2 came into his lane from Franklin Street and hitting him on the left side. Operator of MV2 stated that he was stopped at the stop sign at Franklin Street and proceeded to take a left turn onto Waverly Ave. At this time, MV2 thought MV1 had a stop sign and was going to stop. MV2 hit MV1. There is no stop sign on Waverly Ave at Franklin Street. Operators of each vehicle were offered and declined medical attention. Operator of MV2 was a Lyft driver and was driving three others in the vehicle. Two occupants were offered and accepted medical attention. Both were transported to Newton Wellesley hospital. The other occupant (Paige) declined medical attention. She had a air cast on from a previous injury. MV1 could not be driven from scene. It was parked legally and safely on the side of the road. Operator of MV1 will get a tow later on. MV2 was able to be driven from scene. Operator of MV2 continued to drive Paige home. No further incident to report.

Opr of V2 stated he was behind V1 on Centre Street. Opr states both vehicles were waiting to turn right onto Washington Street. Opr states he was looking left waiting for an opening and did not look to see if V1 was moving. At this time, Opr of V2 started to travel forward and made contact with the rear of V1. Opr of V1 was not on scene due being pregnant. Her father Tom Sharpe was on scene and stated his daughter was waiting to turn right and was struck from behind. Sharpe stated his daughter had some pain to her neck and stomach region and his wife took her to the hospital. Both vehicles suffered minor damage and were not towed. Opr of V1 sustained minor injuries and went to the hospital with her mother. I was unable to make contact with Opr of V1, but Opr of V2 stated he knew he was at fault.

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.

Operator of MV1 (Mass reg. 8928AN) states he was traveling south bound on Waverly Ave when MV2 went through the stop sign and entered the intersection causing him to collide with MV2. Operator of MV2 (Mass reg. 7SH894) states she does not have much recollection from the accident. She states she had glare in her eyes when she was traveling east bound on Franklin Street and stopped at the intersection with Waverly Ave and proceeded through the intersection and collided with MV1. All parties were evaluated by Cataldo paramedics, operator of MV2 was transported to Saint Elizabeth's Hospital with minor injuries. Tody's towed both motor vehicles.

ON 3-3-19 AT APPROX. 1223HRS. WHILE WORKING N492 I TOOK A REPORT FOR MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT. UPON ARRIVAL AT THE INTERSECTION OF CRAFT ST AND ALBEMARLE RD. I SPOKE TO THE OPERATOR OF VEHICLE #1. DRIVER STATES SHE WAS HEADING S-BOUND ON CRAFT ST. STOPPED IN TRAFFIC PREPARING TO TAKE A LEFT ONTO ALBEMARLE RD. WHEN SHE WAS HIT IN THE REAR BY VEHICLE #2. I LATER INFORMED VEHICLE #1 THAT THE LEFT TURN ONTO ALBEMARLE FROM CRAFT IS PROHIBITED. VEHICLE #2 STATES SHE WAS TRAVELING S-BOUND ON CRAFT WHEN VEHICLE #1 STOPPED ABRUPTLY AND SHE WAS UNABLE TO AVOID HITTING HER. VEHICLE #1 HAD LEFT REAR END DAMAGE AND WAS OPERATIONAL.

On 03/07/19 at 08:29 hours, I responded to a two car motor vehicle accident at Needham & Oak Streets. The operator of M/V # 1 states she blacked out upon impact of the accident. She was immediately transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital by Cataldo Ambulance for a possible head injury. After at the hospital, Operator of M/V # 1 states she was traveling straight ahead (WB) on Needham Street at Oak Street with the green light signal in front of her. As she approached the intersection, M/V # 2 suddenly attempted a left turn from the opposite side of the road and she was not able to stop in time. M/V # 1 sustained passenger front end damage and the vehicle was towed by Tody's as the operator was transported to the hospital. Operator of M/V # 2 states she was in the left turn lane on Needham Street facing eastbound attempting to take a left turn on to Oak Street. She states that she thought it was clear to proceed and M/V # 1 came out of no where and struck her on her rear passenger side. At first, the operator told me the signal light was green and then after stated that the light was changing to red when she was proceeding through. The vehicle sustained rear passenger side rear wheel and axel damage and it was towed by Tody's. Based on both operator statements, it appears that the operator of M/V # 2 did not yield the right of way and attempted to turn left when it was not clear to proceed. The operator was issued and mailed MA Uniform Citation # T1441703 for Ch. 89/8.

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.

MV1 stated she was stopped on Washington St attempting to turn left onto Church St when she was rear ended by MV2 causing minor damage. MV1 did not require a tow, was evaluated and cleared by Cataldo Ambulance and departed the scene. MV2 stated she was "trying to get in the right lane but couldn't and when I came back I hit that car" causing minor damage. The operator of MV2 complained of pain to her head from striking the windshield and was transported by Cataldo to Newton Wellesley Hospital for an evaluation. Her vehicle was left parked legally on Washington St.

On Tuesday, April 16, 2019 while assigned to Traffic unit N525, I responded to the area of Plymouth Road and Cochituate Road, Newton for a report of a motor vehicle/pedestrian accident involving a City of Newton vehicle. The weather at the time of the accident was clear and sunny. The road surface was dry. Plymouth Road and Cochituate Road are both public ways maintained by the City of Newton. The injured pedestrian, Officer Steven Emmanuel, was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital prior to my arrival on scene. I spoke with the operator of MV1, Officer Justin Lau. Lau stated he was on duty in his official capacity as a Newton Police Officer while operating a City of Newton owned 2018 Ford Fusion (MA: 9PYM80, Newton PD #1319). Lau stated he was parked on Plymouth Road (N) at Cochituate Road and was speaking with Officer Steven Emmanuel.

Lau stated Emmanuel directed him to back his vehicle up so the delivery truck could get by their location. Lau stated he cut the wheel of the vehicle he was operating to the right; and very slowly began to back up from his location. Lau stated he was attempting to back the vehicle up to get closer to the curbing and out of the roadway. Lau stated as the vehicle was in motion the front driver side wheel made contact with Emmanuel's left foot. Emmanuel's left foot subsequently became lodged in the front driver side wheel well area. Emmanuel fell to the ground in obvious pain. Emmanuel directed Lau to pull the vehicle forward in an effort to release his foot. Emmanuel's foot was freed and NPD Dispatch was notified of the accident. Pictures were taken of MV1 and submitted to the IT Bureau. I observed no damage to the front driver tire area.

At the time, the road surface was dry and the weather was cloudy. Traffic was particulary heavy as there were several streets in the area still blocked off for the Walk for Hunger and there were participants still walking the route in the area. My attention was drawn to the intersection of Centre Street and Bowen Street as there was a motor vehicle travelling southbound on Centre Street with their left turn signal on attempting to take a left turn on to Gibbs Street. Gibbs Street was temporarily blocked to non-residential motorists as there were several pedestrians in the road crossing over Gibbs Street. As the motor vehicle attempted to turn, there were several pedestrians in the crosswalk crossing over Gibbs Street. The vehicle had stopped halfway into the northbound lane on Centre Street blocking on coming traffic. The operator appeared to realize Gibbs Street was blocked and attemped to turn the vehicle back into the southbound lane to continue southbound on Centre Street. As the vehicle turned back into the southbound traffic lane, the vehicles rear end collided with Officer Richard Clements, who was operating NPD motorcycle unit 533. Officer Clements was traveling southbound on Centre Street and was passing the vehicles in the southbound traffic lane which were currently all at a standstill. Officer Clements had his emergency lights activated as he was on his way to remove traffic cones from the street to open up all the traffic lanes along the event route. Officer Clements was working the City of Newton detail for the Walk for Hunger assigned to the motorcycle to assist with traffic. Officer Clements front wheel, left side of the motorcycle and left leg collided with the rear end of the motor vehicle. The impact of the crash caused him to fall off the left side of the motorcycle and land on the street face first. At this time I immediately ran from my post to Officer Clements location and radioed dispatch that a motorcycle officer was down and that I needed assistance. As I approached Officer Clements he was face down, unconcious and breathing. I was able to roll Officer Clements into the recovery position and at this time Officer Clements regained conciousness and was able to speak and stated " What happened? What was that lady doing she turned right into me". I advised Officer Clements that he had just been involved in an accident and to stay still and that help was on the way. The operator of the motor vehicle identified as Helen Leibner (S52717988) stopped her vehicle immediatley after the crash and got out of her vehicle to offer her assistance. I advised Helen and several other witnesses and bystanders who were now crowding around Officer Clements and I to back away from the scene and to not move any of the vehicles involved. Officer Selig arrived on scene and was able to help crowd control until further help arrived. Helen and all witnesses were advised to stand by for police to take their statements. While tending to Officer Clements he was disoriented and made several attempts to move his body to which I had to physically hold him still to prevent possible further injuries. While speaking with Officer Clements I noticed blood coming from the inside of his mouth. Officer Clements was in a noticeable amount of pain. He complained of head, back and left leg pain. Officer Clements was wearing a yellow ANSI certified Newton Police reflective jacket and a Newton Police issued motorcycle helmet. Once the paramedics and fire personnel arrived I was able to speak to the operator of the motor vehicle and several other witnesses. Helen stated she was traveling southbound on Centre Street operating her blue 2014 Audi A4 (MA REG 213BC9). Helen states she was attempting to take a left turn onto Gibbs Street and activated her left turn signal. Helen states she had stopped halfway into the northbound lane as several pedestrians were crossing Gibbs Street in the crosswalk at the time. Helen states after the pedestrians cleared she saw the traffic cones blocking the street and realized the street was closed. Helen states she turned her vehicle back into the southbound traffic lane and did not see Officer Clements or the motorcycle until impact. Helen was not injured and her motor vehicle sustained moderate rear end damage. Her motor vehicle was able to drive away from the scene. Witness Adron Gordon (S90357161) stated he was participating in the Walk for Hunger and had just crossed over Gibbs Street when the crash occured. He stated he witnessed the Officer on the motorcycle with the emergency lights on traveling southbound on Centre Street behind the motor vehicle. The motor vehicle stopped in traffic attempting to turn left onto Gibbs Street. He states then the vehicle made a slight turn back into the southbound traffic lane and the motorcycle collided with the rear end of the motor vehicle. He states the Officer then fell off the motorcycle landing in the middle of Centre Street. Witness Elizabeth McCarthy (S00242346) and Katherine Regan (S43486601) stated they both were in the same vehicle together stopped in traffic in the northbound lane of Centre Street just before the set of lights at Centre Street and Bowen Street. Both witnesses stated they do not remember if the driver of the motor vehicle had the turn signal on but they did see her attempt to turn onto Gibbs Street. They stated they also saw the motorcycle with emergency lights activated travel southbound on Centre Street approaching behind the vehicle. Witnesses state the motor vehicle then suddenly turned back into the southbound lane and the motorcycle collided with the passenger side tailight of the motor vehicle. Both witnesses state the motorcycle attemped to turn away from the vehicle to avoid the crash but was unable to do so. Witness Nina Wang (S39460985) stated she was parked on the southbound lane of Centre Street just prior to the crash scene. Nina states she was in her City of Newton DPW marked vehicle with the hazards on as she was working to assist with traffic safety for the Walk for Hunger. Nina states she witnessed the motorcycle travel southbound on Centre Street and pass the vehicles stopped in the traffic lane. Nina states the motorcycle passed the traffic using the left side and had the emergency lights activated. Nina states the motorcycle was just passing through the green light at Centre Street and Bowen Street when the motor vehicle that was stopped at the lights attempting to take a left turn onto Gibbs Street. Nina states the vehicle then abruptly jerked her car to the right and collided with the motorcycles left side. Nina states she heard a loud crash and witnessed the Officer fall off the motorcycle and land face first onto the street. The motorcycle's final resting place was on its left side approximately two feet away from where Officer Clements was located. The motorcycle sustained moderate damage to its left side, including the front wheel well and undercarriage. The motorcycle left scuff marks on the street which were measured and photographed. Several photographs of the scene and damage to both vehicles were taken and submitted to the IT Bureau. The motorcycle was towed by Todys. Centre Street and Bowen Street are both public ways maintained by the City of Newton. The injured motorcyclist, Officer Clements, was transported to Saint Elizabeth Hospital with fire fighters on board. I was able to follow up with Officer Clements on the phone the next day who was admitted over night at the hospital. Officer Clements stated he has no recollection of the accident and can only remember driving down Centre Street to begin to pick up cones to open up all lanes of traffic. Officer Clements stated he suffered a brain bleed, head, back, left foot and right thumb injuries. A Massachusetts Uniform Citation was issued and mailed to Helen for Chapter 89 Section 7A, failure to yield to emergency vehicle, police motorcycle.

On Tuesday, July 23, 2019, while assigned to Traffic unit N525, I responded to the intersection of Beacon Street and Washington Street, Newton for a motor vehicle accident involving a bicyclist. The weather at the time of the accident was overcast. The road surface was dry. Beacon Street and Washington Street are both public ways maintained by the City of Newton. I spoke with the operator of MV1, Paige Mahoney (S85200426). Mahoney stated she was stopped in traffic at a red light on Beacon Street (W) at Washington Street in her 2018 black Volkswagon Tiguan (MA: 633MV6). Mahoney stated while her vehicle was at a complete stop, she felt and heard something hit the rear of her vehicle. Mahoney exited her vehicle and saw a bicyclist on the roadway. I observed minor damage to the rear middle bumper area of MV1. There was a small amount of blood present on the damaged area. I observed the roadway where the accident occurred. There was a small pool of blood in the left lane of Beacon Street (W) where the bicyclist fell to the roadway. The area of the roadway where the accident occurred is currently undergoing restoration and the asphalt has been graded down to it's sub base in preparation to be resurfaced. The current road surface condition is bumpy and uneven. The area where the roadway goes from a smooth surface to a bumpy surface is where the accident occurred. The injured bicyclist was identified as Timothy Johnson (S29270605). I spoke with him in the Newton Wellesley Hospital emergency room. Johnson stated he was operating his bicycle Westbound on Beacon Street on the right side of the left lane. Johnson stated he was coming to a stop in traffic at a red light when his wheel abruptly turned to the left and he began to fall over. Johnson stated his head hit the back of a vehicle stopped in front of him and he landed on his right side, with his bicycle landing on top of him. As a result of the accident, Johnson suffered an injury to the right side of his head and had scrapes on his right arm. Johnson stated he did not lose consciousness as a result of the accident and he appeared to be alert and orientated while I was speaking with him. Johnson was wearing a helmet at the time of the accident. There were fresh markings on the right side of the helmet with minor black paint transfer. These markings are consistent with Johnson's statement that he fell into the back of MV1 and hit his head. Johnson's bicycle was removed from the roadway prior to my arrival and was being stored in the driveway of 2044 Beacon Street by the resident there. I observed no obvious damage to Johnson's bicycle. After speaking with all parties involved and examining the roadway where the accident occurred, it appears that the condition of the road surface contributed to Johnson losing control of his bicycle and crashing into the rear bumper area of MV1 while it was stopped in traffic. Photos were taken of the road surface, John's bicycle, and MV2 and submitted to the IT Bureau.

At approximately 1825HRs on August 06, 2019, I was dispatched to 785 Centre St. (Newton Country Day School) in reference to a motor vehicle vs bicycle crash. Upon arrival, I located both parties on the sidewalk adjacent to the intersection of Centre St. and Colby Rd. The operator of the bicycle was complaining of feeling dizzy, although she stated she did not hit her head, and suffered several abrasions on her left leg and hands; the operator of MV1 stated she was uninjured. The operator of MV1 stated that as she was traveling northbound on Centre St., she attempted to give the operator of the bicycle room, but the bicyclist made an abrupt left hand turn and struck MV1. The operator of the bicycle stated she was traveling northbound on Centre St. in the Bicycle Lane. She then signaled a left hand turn and entered the Motor Vehicle Travel Lane to make a second left hand turn to travel eastbound on Colby Rd. Once she exited the northbound Motor Vehicle Travel Lane on Centre St. and began to cross over the southbound lane, MV 1 crossed over the solid yellow lines onto the southbound side of Centre St. and struck her bicycle. MV1 sustained damage to its right front bumper and I noted red paint transfer of the left side of the front bumper, which the operator of MV1 states was old damage. MV1 also sustained a flat left front tire after contacting the curb. The bicycle sustained damage to both tires and where the rear tire attaches to the frame appeared to be warped. I took several photos of the damage and have submitted them to be attached to this report. The operator of the bicycle was transported to the hospital by Newton Medics and the operator of MV1 signed a patient refusal. Todys Services arrived and took custody of MV1, for which I completed and filled an NPD Towed Motor Vehicle Form. All streets mentioned are public ways in the City of Newton. Due to the potential danger of serious bodily injury caused by the operator of MV1's reckless driving behavior (crossing the solid yellow road divider line and driving on the wrong side of the road against traffic), the actual damage caused (striking and causing the bicycle operator to be transported to the hospital and damage to the bicycle) and that the bicycle operator was clearly visible/in clear contrast with the road (riding a red bicycle and wearing a red shirt) I issued the operator of MV1 MA Criminal citation T1445010, in hand, for violating one count of MGL Ch.90 S. 24 (Operating To Endanger) I cleared without incident. Note: I logged the bicycle into property/evidence for safekeeping, as it could not be taken on the ambulance.

On Thursday, August 8, 2019, while assigned to Traffic unit N525, I responded to the area of Centre Street and Mt. Ida Street for a report of a 3 car motor vehicle crash with entrapment. The weather at the time of the crash was clear and sunny. The road surface was dry. Centre Street and Mt. Ida Street are both public ways maintained by the City of Newton. On arrival, I was updated by Sgt. Chisholm that one of the vehicles (MV3) had a female operator that was entrapped as a result of the collision. She was freed from the vehicle by the Newton Fire Department and transported to Beth Israel Hospital. Another operator (MV2) was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital with minor injuries. A third operator (MV1) remained on scene with no injuries. With the assistance of Officer Wade we conducted a survey of the crash scene. We observed a large debris field at the intersection of Centre Street and Mt. Ida Street with debris from all three vehicles. The point of impact was observed to be on Centre Street (N) before Mt. Ida Street. There were fresh scrapes in the pavement as a result of the colission. We also observed skid marks from MV1 measuring 57 feet 8 inches from the start of it's skid to the vehicles final rest MV1 crashed into the rear of MV2. The impact caused MV2 to enter the Southbound travel lane of Centre Street and crash into MV3 as it was passing by. The impact from MV2's front end crashing into MV3's driver side resulted in the operator of MV3 becoming entrapped. MV2 and MV3 came to final rest on Wesley Street (W) at Centre Street (S). The driver door of MV3 was inaccessible. The collsion resulted in air bag deployment for MV2 and MV3. I observed moderate damage to MV1's front grill/bumper area. I observed substantial damage to the front and rear of MV2 and substantial damage to the front and driver side of MV3. Tody's responded and removed MV2 and MV3 from the roadway. Photos were taken of the scene and submitted to the IT Bureau. Officer Martin of the Watertown Police Department was requested by Sgt. Lee to respond to the scene and assist with a commercial truck inspection of MV1. Officer Martin contacted Trooper Grey of the Massachusetts State Police Truck Team who also responded to assist with the truck inspection. Sgt. Lee remained with Officer Martin and Trooper Grey during the inspection. MV1 was relocated to Richardson Street for the inspection. Trooper Grey determined the truck was in compliance with all required paperwork and it passed it's mechanical inspection. MV1 was removed from the roadway by a state tow. I spoke with the operator of MV1, William Tisbert (S24792655). Tisbert stated he was operating a 2006 KW W900 Semi Truck (NH SEMI: AP2638) Northbound on Centre Street. Tisbert stated as he was approaching Mt. Ida Street, a vehicle came out of no where and he hit it. Tisbert stated there was no one in front of him and then a vehicle came off of a side street (Mt. Ida Street) and attempted to turn left in front of him to return to the side street. Tisbert stated he could not avoid hitting the vehicle. Tisbert crashed into the rear of MV2. MV2 then crossed into the opposite lane and crashed into another vehicle. Tisbert remained on scene and reported no injuries. Tisbert stated he was wearing his seatbelt at the time of the accident and was not distracted. Tisbert later admitted to crashing into the rear of MV2. I spoke with the operator of MV2, Janet Vanbuskirk (S59829146), at Newton Wellesley Hospital. Vanbuskirk stated while operating her 2004 Toyota Highlander (MA: RS 529Y), she was stopped on Centre Street (N) at Mt. Ida Street. Vanbuskirk had her left directional on and was waiting for traffic in the Southbound lane to clear to take a left turn onto Mt. Ida Street. Vanbuskirk stated MV1 crashed into the rear of her vehicle. As a result of the impact, Vanbuskirk's vehicle traveled into the opposite lane and crashed into the driver side of MV3. Vanbuskirk reported minor injuries to her neck, left arm, and right hand. I spoke with the operator of MV3, Madeleine Karolian (S23979811), at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston. Karolian stated she was operating her 2016 Toyota Prius (MA: EV5746) Southbound on Centre Street. Karolian stated MV1 crashed into MV2, and MV2 crashed into her vehicle. Karolian stated she did not have time to avoid the collision. Karolian stated she had minor injuries to her neck and chest. Karolian's vehicle had a dash cam recording at the time of the accident. I viewed the footage with her through an app on a cell phone. The footage shows MV3 traveling Southbound on Centre Street on August 8, 2019 at 1308 hours. Ahead of MV3 in the Northbound lane, MV2 is seen stopped on Centre Street before Mt. Ida Street with it's left directional activated. I observed MV1 travel Northbound on Centre Street and crash into the rear of MV2. The impact caused MV2 to enter the Southbound travel lane and crashed into the driver side of MV3. The footage then ends. A copy of the footage was emailed to my work email. The footage was then forwarded to IT Director Steve Smith to be added to the media for this report. As a result of my investigation, the operator of MV1, William Tisbert, will be cited for Newton City Ordinance Chapter 19, Section 71 (Following too closely). Massachusetts Uniform Citation T1270942 was completed and mailed to Tisbert's residence.

The OP. of MV#1 states he was on the eastbound lane of Washington Street, waiting to make a left turn onto Beacon Street. When he saw there was a break in traffic, he made the left turn and did not see Bicycle#1 coming off the sidewalk, thus colliding with it. The OP. of Bicycle#1 states he was travelling westbound on Washington Street on the sidewalk. He states Washington Street westbound is too dangerous for him to ride on the roadway during rush hour traffic. As he was crossing Beacon Street, Washington Street westbound traffic still had a green light and that's when MV#1 collided into him while making a turn. The OP. of Bicycle#1 was wearing a helmet and had front and rear lights. He did not want me to take his bicycle so he brought it with him to the hospital to be picked up by a family member. Pictures were taken of the damage.

A message was left for the city to repair the street sign. Pictures were taken and placed into property and evidence. It should be noted a fence had to be removed at 4 Meredith Ave in order to removed the vehicle. I was able to get permission by the owner of the home to remove the fence.

On Thursday, January 23, 2020 while assigned to Traffic unit N525, I responded to the intersection of Brookline Street and Hartman Road, Newton for a report of a motor vehicle/pedestrian crash involving a City of Newton Crossing Guard. The weather at the time of the crash was overcast. The road surface where the crash took place was dry. Brookline Street and Hartman Road are both public ways maintained by the City of Newton. On arrival, the injured pedestrian was in the process of being transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital with minor injuries. I spoke with the operator of the vehicle involved in the crash, Menachem Uminer (S43996134). Uminer stated he was operating his vehicle on Brookline Street (S) towards Hartman Road. Uminer stated he was stopped in traffic on Brookline Street prior to the crash.

Alexander is a crossing guard for the City of Newton and is assigned to the intersection of Brookline Street and Hartman Road for the Memorial Spaulding school crossings. This crash occurred while Alexander was performing her official duties. Alexander was wearing her department issued yellow reflective jacket at the time of the crash. I spoke with Alexander at Newton Wellesley Hospital where she was being treated for her injuries. Alexander stated she was performing her duties as a crossing guard at the intersection of Brookline Street and Hartman Road. Alexander stated she had just finished crossing two pedestrians in the marked crosswalk on Hartman Road when observed a pedestrian enter the crosswalk on Brookline Street at Spaulding Lane.

Vaidya stated a crossing guard was on the right side of the roadway on Brookline Street at Hartman Road wearing a yellow and black reflective jacket and snow pants. Vaidya stated the crossing guard had her back towards him and MV1, and extended her arm out to stop traffic. Vaidya stated at this time MV1 rolled by the crossing guard at a low rate of speed and the front right fender area of the vehicle hit the left rear leg/lower back area of the crossing guard. Vaidya stated the crossing guard bounced off of the car and fell to the roadway. Vaidya stated he believes MV1 was unaware he hit the crossing guard and observed the vehicle travel another 10 feet until it came to stop on Brookline Street. Vaidya stated the crossing guard was not in a marked crosswalk at the time of the crash.

On 02/26/2020 I responded to the area of Eastbourne Rd and Ireland Rd for a motor vehicle crash involving a pedestrian. Eastbourne RD is a public way which runs from Ward St north bound intersecting with Ireland Rd on the far north end. Ireland RD is a public way which runs west to east. Both the east end and the west end of Ireland Rd are dead ends. The crash occured on Ireland Rd's east end near the intersection of Eastbourne Rd. The crash involved Vehicle 1 described as a 2016 Acura SUV color grey bearing MA passenger registration 3RB127. Vehicle 1 had a valid inspection sticker which expires on 08/30/2020. Vehicle 1 was operated by its owner identified as Barbara Ball. Ball has an active MA Operators License (S18727836). The involved pedestrian was identified as Bruce Terrio. Terrio is an employee of Feeney Brothers Utility Services. Feeney Brothers Utility Services is a contractor of National Grid Gas Company. Upon arrival I observed the following: The crash occurred in the daylight hours around 10:30am on Ireland Rd near the intersection of Eastbourne Rd. At the time of the crash the weather conditions were clear, 48 degrees Fahrenheit and overcast skies (weather.gov). The area where the crash occurred was an active construction site for Feeney Brothers Utility Services. The area of the crash is a dead end. The area is accessed from Ward St from either Eastbourne Rd or Coolidge Rd. The entrances of both Eastbourne Rd and Coolidge Rd had construction signs indicating utility work in the area. At the time of the crash, all roadways were open to vehicle traffic. On the eastbound side of Eastbourne Rd just prior to the intersection of Ireland Rd, I observed a large air compressor which was parked in the roadway facing south bound. No traffic cones were located near the air compressor. To the right of the air compressor were thick green bushes. A wooden fence was located to the right side of the green bushes. On the east side of Ireland Rd I observed a large excavated hole on the right side of the roadway. The hole was near the intersection of Eastbourne Rd and was located approximately three feet from the curb. I observed four traffic cones, two on the front side and two on the left side of the hole. Located on the front edge of the hole was a tire print. Vehicle 1 was located on the west end of Ireland Rd. The front passenger tire of Vehicle 1 had fresh dirt located on the sidewalls and the tire tread. Vehicle 1 appeared to have no visible damage. The pedestrian (Terrio) was being treated by EMS and Fire for injuries. Terrio was wearing brown pants and a green reflective safety vest. I spoke with the operator of Vehicle 1 Barbara Ball. Ball stated that she was operating Vehicle 1 northbound on Eastbourne Rd near the intersection of Ireland Rd. Ball stated that she made a right turn onto Ireland Rd and drove on to the edge of the excavated hole. Ball stated that her vehicle then made impact with Terrio who was in the hole. Ball stated that she immediately stopped, backed out of the hole and called 911. Ball stated that prior to making a right turn onto Ireland Rd, there were no traffic cones in the roadway or next to the hole. Ball stated that as she made the right turn onto Ireland Rd she did not observe Terrio or the hole until it was too late. Ball states that she resides at 80 Eastbourne Rd which is the residence located to the immediate right of the crash location. Ball states that she had been recently parking on Ireland Rd due to ongoing construction at her residence. Ball states that she was traveling at a slow speed prior to impact. At the time of the crash there were three other Feeney Brothers employees working at the site. These workers were identified as Steven Gamble, Mike Cabrinma and Gerard McComaskey. At the time of the crash all three workers were located further up Eastbourne Rd near the intersection of Coolidge Rd and did not observe the crash. At the time of the crash, Newton Police Sergeant Glenn Chisholm was working a paid detail for Feeney Brothers. Sergeant Chisholm stated that he did not observe the crash.Terrio was transported by Cataldo EMS for minor injuries. Several photos were taken of the scene. Photos were taken of the hole with traffic cones and without traffic cones. All photo's were submitted to the IT Bureau. After clearing the scene, I responded to St Elizabeth's Hospital in Brighton, MA to interview Terrio. Terrio stated that at the time of the crash he was standing in the hole on Ireland Rd performing gas utility work. Terrio stated that the front passenger side bumper of Vehicle 1 struck him in the right shoulder. Terrio stated that the impact caused him to lose his balance and fall down in the hole. Terrio states that after falling down he was able to climb out of the hole without assistance. Terrio stated that at the time of impact he was wearing a white hard hat which he thinks struck the pavement on the edge of the hole. Terrio states that at the time of the crash he was working alone in the hole. Terrio states that at the time of the crash traffic cones were located near the hole. Terrio stated that as a result of the impact he sustained minor injuries to his right shoulder and back. I then observed Terrio's hard hat which appeared to have a fresh scrape mark on the top. The hard hat also had broken interior straps. Terrio stated that the straps broke when he was struck by Vehicle 1. Photos were taken of the hard hat and were submitted to the IT Bureau. After reviewing all facts of this incident, Vehicle 1 appeared to have been traveling at a slow speed prior to the crash. This was evident due to the lack of tire skid marks prior to the tire print on the edge of the hole. It also appears that Ball's view of the hole and Terrio may have been obstructed by the parked air compressor on Eastbourne Rd. The thick green bushes and a wooden fence to the right of the air compressor also added to the obstructed view. The hole was also located in close proximity to the air compressor which reduced Vehicle 1's reaction time. Jeff Oliver of OSHA was also notified of this incident. Photographs of the scene were provided to Oliver.

Operator of MV1 stated he was traveling Westbound on Washington St. attempting to merge Northbound on Washington St. and as he approached the intersection, he didn't see MV2 and collided with MV2.

It should be noted MV2 had a yield sign when merging. M1 had a turning vehicles yield to pedestrian sign before entering the bridge. MV1 sustained moderate left front end damage. MV2 sustained heavy passenger side damage. Passenger in MV2 was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital for shoulder pain. Tody's responded on scene and towed MV2. A towed motor vehicle form was filled out and placed on file.

On 3/17/20 while working N493, I responded to the intersection of Auburndale Ave and Newell Rd for an MVA car vs pedestrian. On arrival I located pedestrian Stephen Dugas DOB 8/25/50 sitting in the middle of Newell Rd bleeding profusely from the top of his head, but otherwise consious/alert. The driver of the motor vehicle (MA reg 93Y880) was still on scene. He is identified as Ali Alnamos DOB12/10/59. While the medics were tending to Dugas I obtained a statement from Alnamos. He stated that he was driving on Auburndale Ave towards Lexington St and went to turn right onto Newell Rd. Upon turning, he made contact with the pedestrian with what he believes to be his passenger side mirror. Alnamos was distraught while speaking with me, and told me that he did not see the man. It should be noted that there is a clearly marked pedestrian crosswalk on Newell Rd, right at the location of this accident. There are street lights in the vicinity and Dugas was wearing darker clothing. Medic 2 transported Dugas to St. Elizabeth's due to his head injuy. I responded to the St E's ER Department and spoke with Dugas shortly after he was transported. Dugas reports that he was out for a walk on Auburndale Ave and was heading towards Auburndale Square. He went to cross Newell Rd and was hit by a vehicle shortly after entering the crosswalk. Dugas is not sure what part of the vehicle made contact with him but states that he did not go over the hood. Newell Rd intersects Auburndale Ave only on the westbound side. Several pictures were taken of the scene and have been submitted to IT. I did not observe any damage to the vehicle involved, therefore a tow was not needed. Alnamos stated that he was not in need of medical attention. Due to Dugas' statement at the hospital, I am mailing Alnamos MA citation T2079194 for 89/11 Fail to Yield to Pedestrian in Crosswalk.

On 03/18/20 at approximately 13:01 I responded to the intersection of Winchester St and Heatherland Rd. for a two vehicle crash.

Operator of MV1 stated she was traveling Westbound on Tremont Street and could not see well due to a sun glare. Operator of MV1 further stated when she approached the intersection of Tremont Street at Hibbard Road she struck a pedestrian riding a bicycle. I was able to speak with two witnesses on scene who were friends with Ms. Shokri. Both were approximately 10 feet behind her in the crosswalk before she was struck by MV1. Witness statements are documented in this report. Both parents responded on scene and were entered into this report as non-motorists. Both followed medics to Newton Wellesley Hospital. MV1 sustained moderate front end damage. Pedestrian involved suffered minor injuries and was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital. Operator of MV1 was evaluated on scene and signed a patient refusal. Due to the bicycle being moved prior to my arrival, pictures were not taken on scene.

On 06/10/2020 at approximately 16:30 hours, Sgt. Lee (Unit 531) and I (Unit 523) responded to Waverley Avenue and Sargent Street for a two car motor vehicle accident that involved one vehicle rolling over and a possible head injury to that driver. The accident occurred at 16:11 hours on this date. Both streets are public ways and maintained by the City of Newton. On arrival, I observed a black Hyundai Elantra (MV1) bearing MA Reg.# 1DHN15 resting in the middle of the intersection facing eastbound on Sargent Street heading towards Kenrick Street. The vehicle had heavy front end damage. I then observed a gray Honda CRV (MV2) bearing MA Reg.# 8DZB10 rolled over resting on it's hood facing in a northeasterly direction in the southbound travel lane of Waverley Avenue just past the intersection. I observed the point of impact to be on the passenger side rear wheel area due to the damage which included a large dent above the tire well. Digital photos were taken of the scene and intersection. At this point the operator, Jose Valderrama (MA DL# S27590058), of MV2 was already transported to Beth Israel Hospital in Boston, MA for a possible head injury. The operator was also not aware of what occurred at the time by the responding officers. It was also determined by the initial responding officers (Sgt. Rooney, Ofc. Pohlman & Ofc. Anderson) that Mr. Valderrama driver's license was suspended in Massachusetts by NPD Dispatch. Next, I spoke to the operator of MV1 identified as Cora Lyden (ME DL# 8625330). Lyden states that she was traveling straight ahead (EB) on Sargent Street attempting to go straight through the intersection on to Kenrick Street. She says as she approached the intersection the signal light changed to yellow and she proceeded through when she suddenly saw MV2 coming at her. She then jammed on her brakes and then made contact with the other vehicle. She says that the other driver must have been speeding and went through the red light. Next, Sgt. Lee and I responded to Beth Israel Hospital for a follow up on Mr. Valderrama. The hospital staff stated that there were no signs of a head injury and that he was now coherent. He sustained road rash on his left arm and shoulder area due to the seatbelt and front air bag deployment. We then spoke to him and he stated that he was traveling straight ahead (SB) on Waverley Avenue at about 30 to 35 miles per hour. He says that his signal light was green when he attempted to go through the intersection and another motor vehicle made contact with him. After that, he does not recall what occurred. I asked him if he saw the other vehicle approaching and he stated that he did not see it. After at the station, I followed up with Dispatch and they stated that there was two people that called in to report the accident that they attempted to call back to see if they witnessed the event. They had since not returned their call. I then called both numbers and both parties stated that they were only notifying us and did not observe the accident occur. Due to conflicting statements by both operators and no witnesses on scene, I am unable to determine fault for the accident. Mr. Valderrama will be issued MA Uniform Citation #T2080466 for Ch. 90/S23/E Operating a Motor Vehicle after Suspension of License. Tody's towing responded and towed both vehicles. M/V inventories completed by me.

Finamore states that she that when she got a green signal she made a left turn onto Washington St and heard the impact of the collision between Vehicle 1 and Vehicle 2. Finamore states that she then observed in her rear view mirror Vehicle 2 drive around Vehicle 1 and make a left turn southbound onto Washington St. Finamore states that she attempted to get the registration information of Vehicle 2 however Vehicle 2 continued southbound on Washington St at a high rate of speed. Finamore states that she then followed Vehicle 2 at a safe distance and observed Vehicle 2 commit a red light violation at the intersection of Washington St and the entrance of Newton Wellesley Hospital (2014 Washington St). Finamore states that Vehicle 2 went around stopped traffic at the intersection by entering the left turn only lane to pass stopped traffic to the right. Finamore states that she then observed Vehicle 2 commit another red light violation at the intersection of Beacon St and Washington St. Finamore states that Vehicle 2 entered the left turn only lane at the intersection to pass stopped traffic to the right. Finamore states that she then lost sight of Vehicle 2 as it continued southbound on Washington St. Finamore described Vehicle 2 as a newer model Chevrolet pickup truck color white. Finamore believes that Vehicle 2 had a paper temporary plate, unknown registration number or state of registration. Finamore described the operator of Vehicle 2 as a young white male in his 20's. On 08/03/2020 I was able to view photo's of Vehicle 2 taken by witness Deb Finamore. The photo's revealed Vehicle 2's rear registration plate as 333991T. An NCIC check revealed that this registration belongs to a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado color white out of Maryland. The Maryland RMV also lists the vehicle registration as stolen. No further information was provided by the Maryland RMV. In the photo's Vehicle 2 also appears to be a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado color white. At this time I am unable to identify the operator of Vehicle 2. I called and notified the owner of Vehicle 1 Borris Partensky of my findings. Partensky will be providing this information to his insurance company.

While taking photos of Dames bike I observed that both of it's tires had very little tread left leaving them almost completely bladed. I further observed the bike was missing left pedal. Officers searched the crash area for the bike's pedal with negative results, it appeared that the pedal was missing prior to the crash. I further observed that only the front breaks of Dames bike where in working order. Dames bike was transported to the station and I filled out a property form ( see report 20042471 )

On Friday, September 18th, 2020 at approximately 1619 hours I, Officer Newton, was dispatched to Brookline St and Spaulding Ln(both are public ways in the City of Newton) for a report of a vehicle that crossed over Brookline St and struck a tree and drove off with major front end damage. The RP was able to give a description of the vehicle as a White Audi with the license plate beginning with 8X.

Wade located the vehicle, White Audi MA Reg 8XVP10, with major front end damage, parked outside of 45 Indian Ridge Rd and made contact with the operator, John Bigda. It should be noted that the house is 2 houses from Marvin Ln. Upon arrival I spoke to John. John stated he was driving his vehicle and got into an accident but it was not a big deal because he was able to drive home. John was not able to explain the details of his crash and was very evasive as to exactly what happened, just that he got into an accident because somebody cut him off. John continued to tell me multiple times nothing bad happened and everything was fine. John was very unsteady on his feet and was stumbling around and almost fell several times while I was trying to speak with him. John also had slurred speech and a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from his person that I was able to smell even though I was wearing a mask. At this time I asked John to take field sobriety tests to which he refused by saying "I'm not taking the test." The Medics arrived on scene to evaluate John. John was not able to answer their questions and the medics decided he should go to the hospital for an evaluation. However, John refused to go to the hospital. NFD arrived on scene and stated they saw tire marks and debris at the location of the crash. Ofc. Guarino went to that location to take pictures that will be added to this report. Due to the above facts and because John was almost falling over while speaking with us, he was placed under arrest for Operating Under the Influence of Liquor.

On 09/30/2020 at approximately 19:32hrs members of the Newton Police Patrol Bureau responded to a motor vehicle crash near the intersection of Washington St and Eddy St. After an initial investigation of the crash the Patrol Bureau secured the crash scene and called in the Newton Police Traffic Bureau to investigate. At approximately 19:45hrs Sgt. Devine, Ofc Wilson and I (Ofc Schlegel) from the NPD Traffic Bureau responded to the scene to investigate. Upon arrival to the scene I was met by Ofc Kane of the NPD Patrol Bureau. Ofc Kane stated that the crash was located in the driveway of 74 Eddy St and that it involved a Ford F350 pickup striking two parked cars. Ofc Kane stated that the operator identified as Kyle Butler had already been taken to Newton Wellesley Hospital by Cataldo EMS for injuries. . Upon approaching the crash scene I observed the following: The crash occurred at night time hours at approximately 19:32EST near the intersection of Washington St and Eddy St. Both Washington St and Eddy St are public ways in the City of Newton. The weather conditions at the time of the crash were a dark and clear with a temperature of approximately 60 degrees F. Washington St is a four lane undivided roadway (2 westbound travel lanes and 2 eastbound travel lanes). Washington St lighted roadway which has concrete light poles on both the westbound and eastbound sides. Washington St was under construction at the time and had a base coat of asphalt applied. At the time of the crash Washington St did not have any painted lane markings due to ongoing construction. Washington St is separated from the road sides on both the eastbound edge and the westbound edge with fixed granite curbing. The roadway also had several orange traffic barrels and traffic cones located edges of the eastbound and westbound lanes. Affixed to the light poles and the traffic barrels were temporary no parking signs for the ongoing road construction. At the time of the crash no road construction activities were taking place. No major debris or other obstructions were observed in the roadway. Washington St is a major roadway in the City of Newton and travels west to East across the entire City of Newton. This area of Washington St where the crash occurred is in between West Newton Square and Newtonville Square, this area has a posted 35 MPH speed limit. Both West Newton Square and Newtonville Square are densely populated with several businesses and residential areas. The section of Washington St where the crash occurred is also traveled frequently by pedestrian, bicycle and motor vehicle traffic. At the time the crash occurred 19:32hrs This area of Washington St is still a heavily travelled roadway. I observed Vehicle 1 described as a 2003 Ford F350 color white (MA Reg 5DT664) located in the driveway of 74 Eddy St. 74 Eddy St is a multi-family dwelling house located on the corner of Washington St and Eddy St. The driveway of 74 Eddy St is on the Washington St side. Vehicle was faced easterly across the driveway. I observed Vehicle 1to have extensive damage to the entire vehicle including but not limited to the enclosed cab area, cab roof and all windows, front end, rear end, along with both driver and passenger side. I also observed city of Newton owned concrete traffic light resting on top of the cab area of Vehicle 1. Upon further observation of Vehicle 1 it appears that both front tires and rims were flat, heavily damaged and had little to no tread left. Both front tires were worn down to the interior steel belt. I also observed that Vehicle 1 did not have a valid inspection sticker. Located to the immediate front of Vehicle 1 and resting on the front end was a white fence which had damage consistent with the impact of a motor vehicle. Immediately to the driver's side of Vehicle 1 was Vehicle 2 described as a 2007 gray Subaru Forester (MA Reg 45D610. Vehicle 2 was facing westerly across the driveway. Vehicle 2 had extensive damage to the driver's side front end, rear end, in addition to the entire driver and passenger sides. At this time Vehicle 2's drivers door was in contact with Vehicle 1's drivers door. Both drivers doors could not be opened.The damage to Vehicle 2 appeared to be consistent with impact from another motor vehicle. To immediate passenger side of the Vehicle 2 I observed Vehicle 3 described as a 2011 Toyota Rav4 color black (MA Reg 47XB99). Vehicle was facing in an easterly direction across the driveway. I observed the Vehicle 3 to have extensive damage to driver's side rear quarter panel, passenger side front quarter panel and front end. Also observed was damage to south east corner of the dwelling of 74 Eddy St. This area of the dwelling is located adjacent to the drive way. The damage appeared consistent with the impact caused by a motor vehicle. Also observed were large amounts of debris located in the area of the crash which included the sidewalk, yard and the driveway of 74 Eddy St. The debris included pieces of concrete which appeared to have been dislodged from the concrete light pole. A city of Newton no parking sign was lying in the yard of 74 Eddy St. This parking sign would have been attached to the concrete light pole due to ongoing road construction on Washington St. I also observed two tire marks on a curb stone located next the westbound lane of Washington St. These tire marks were in front of the residence of 74 Eddy St and were to the immediate left of a storm drain. The tire marks were consistent with being struck by a motor vehicle. In between the tire marks and just after the curb there was a hole in the ground with wires sticking out of it. This hole appears to be the location the concrete light pole was located prior to impact. Tire marks were located on Washington St traveling from the east bound lane easterly across the westbound lane and ending at the tire marks on the curb. The total length of the tire marks was approximately 190 feet. After conducting an on scene investigation it appears that Vehicle 1 from the start of the tire mark in eastbound travel lane of Washington St traveled 190 feet in the easterly direct across the westbound lane of Washington St and impacted the curb in front of 74 Eddy St. The tire marks had lateral striations almost the entire length indicating that the front tires were rolling and sliding with little to no braking prior to impact with the curb. After impact with the curb Vehicle 1 exited the roadway, struck a concrete light pole. Vehicle 1 then traveled over a sidewalk, across the yard of 74 Eddy St and into the driveway of 74 Eddy St. Located in the driveway of 74 Eddy St were Vehicle 2 and Vehicle 3. Vehicle 2 was parked facing toward the rear of 74 Eddy St. Vehicle 3 located to the passenger side of Vehicle 2 and was parked facing towards Washington St. When Vehicle 1 entered the driveway it struck Vehicle 2. The force of the impact of Vehicle 1 striking Vehicle 2 caused Vehicle 2 to strike Vehicle 3. The force of the impact of Vehicle 2 striking Vehicle 3 caused Vehicle 3 to strike the southeast corner of the dwelling located at 74 Elliot St. Vehicle 1 continued across the drive way and struck a white fence before coming to final rest. Vehicle traveled a approximately 55 feet from when it initially struck to the curb till final rest. No other injuries were reported on scene. All involved vehicles were towed from the scene by Tody's Towing. After the investigation the operator of Vehicle 1 Kyle Butler was issued Citations T2015882 and T2015883 for: Mgl 90/24/O Recklass Operation of a Motor Vehicle Mgl 89/4B/A Failure to Operate in the Right Lane Mgl 90/20 Failure to Submit a Motor Vehicle for Inspection Mgl 90/7 Defective Equipment (worn front tire treads) Mgl 90/13A Failure to wear a seatbelt An immediate threat form was also filed with the MA RMV.

On Tuesday, October 6, 2020, I received a call at approximately 2158 hours from Sgt. Devine of the Newton Police Traffic Bureau. Sgt. Devine stated there was a motor vehicle crash with serious injury that had just occurred at the intersection of Crafts Street and Waltham Street in Newton. Sgt. Devine stated that one of the parties involved had suffered life threatening injuries and was transported to Brigham and Women's Hospital. I responded to the scene and conducted an investigation of the crash with the assistance of Sgt. Devine and Captain Boudreau. Upon arrival it was reported to me by officers on scene that a party operating a motorized scooter on Crafts Street (E) had been struck by a 2007 Chrysler Town and Country (MA: 5EE316). The Chrysler was attempting to make a left turn from Crafts Street (W) onto Waltham Street (S). The operator of the motorized scooter, identified as Nadhir Tchikou (DOB: 11/23/1993), had suffered serious injuries to his head and left leg area and was transported to Brigham and Women's Hospital. It was reported to me that Officers Conary, Boyle, and Donovan were the first to arrive at the crash and provided life-saving care to Mr. Tchikou prior to being transported to Brigham and Women's Hospital. Officer Donovan responded to Brigham and Women's to keep us updated on Mr. Tchikou's status. The update provided to me while on scene was that Mr. Tchikou was in critical condition and in surgery. Due to the seriousness of the crash and potential fatal injury, Sgt. Devine contacted the Massachusetts State Police to assist in the investigation. Sgt. Mahoney and Trooper Paul responded as part of the Massachusetts State Police Crash Reconstruction team and conducted a supplemental investigation of the crash (MSP report 2020-CAR-000285). The location where the crash took place is Crafts Street and Waltham Street. Crafts Street and Waltham Street are public ways maintained by the City of Newton. Crafts Street and Waltham Street are municipal roadways that support two way travel for motor vehicles and bicycles with an unprotected median in the middle of both roadways to separate the direction of travel. This intersection was recently re-paved within the last month and has newly painted street markings including crosswalks, dedicated bicycle lanes, and stops lines at the intersections. Crafts Street at this intersection features two travels lanes. I observed the road surface to be dry at the time of my arrival on scene. The north lane in the westbound direction of Crafts Street permits travel straight ahead and also permits motorists/bicyclist to take a right turn onto Harding Street. The south lane in the westbound direction of Crafts Street is a dedicated left turn only lane that coincides with a left turn only arrow on the traffic signal in the middle of the intersection. The opposite side of Crafts Street permits traffic traveling in the eastbound lane to travel straight or take a left turn onto Harding Street from is a single lane travel lane. The area is well lit featuring street lights bright enough to illuminate the intersection for motorist traveling through the area. The weather at the time of the crash appeared to be clear. In the intersection where the crash took place, I observed a large debris field comprised of parts from a 2020 Tao Tao motorized scooter (49CC) and a 2007 Chrysler Town and Country (MA: 5EE316). I observed the motorized scooter (VIN: L9NTCBAG1L1010287) resting on its side facing North in the northbound lane of Crafts Street in the intersection. The motorized scooter has significant damage to its front, right, and left side and was inoperable. The area in the immediate vicinity of the motorized scooter was saturated with gasoline. The rear lights and dash of the motorized scooter were illuminated while I was observing the crash scene. The headlights were not intact due to the impact from the crash and I was unable to determine if they were functioning. The motorized scooter was removed from the roadway by Tody's Towing. The intersection where the crash took place had numerous first responders present immediately after the crash rendering aid to Mr. Tchikou prior to his transport to the hospital. It was reported by officers on scene that some of the items and debris in the intersection had been moved from their initial place of rest after the crash took place. A black MMG helmet was observed resting on the ground outside the debris field from the crash before the westbound left turn only lane of Crafts Street. It is unknown if it was moved from its initial place of rest by a first responder. I observed the strap on the helmet that would be used to secure it to the operator to be in good operable condition. I did not observe it to be defected and the securing feature of the strap was in working order. I did not observe any blood, hair, or other apparent physical evidence inside the helmet that would be consistent with the head injury reported to the operator of the motorized scooter. I observed what appeared to be fresh markings on the front mouth/nose area of the helmet. I observed a white Iphone with a red phone case lying on the roadway a short distance away from the impact area. The Iphone was on and displaying travel directions from the Iphone application Waze. The Iphone and the helmet were seized pending the status of the operator of MV2. A property/evidence form was completed and the Iphone and helmet were secured in property locker number 9. I spoke with the operator of MV1, William Moran (S34946215). Moran stated he was operating his white 2007 Chrysler Town and Country (MA: 5EE316) on Crafts Street (N) as he approached Waltham Street. Moran stated he had a green light and activated his left blinker as he approached the intersection with the intention of taking a left turn onto Waltham Street. Moran stated as he proceeded to take his left turn he saw "orange" and was unable to avoid hitting the object in front of him. Moran stated the object came out of nowhere and he swerved to the left in an attempt to avoid the crash. Moran stated after the collision he accelerated away from the impact area and came to a controlled stop on Waltham Street (S) just past the intersection. Moran stated he exited his vehicle and looked back at the intersection he had just travelled through. Moran stated as he began walking towards the intersection he observed a party laying on the roadway in the intersection. Moran stated the party was not wearing a helmet at this time. Moran also added that he believes the moped involved in the crash did not have its headlights on prior to impact. Moran stayed on scene and cooperated fully with officers during the investigation. A query of Moran's license and registration status through Newton Police Dispatched showed they are both active. I asked Moran if he was using a cell phone, GPS, or any other type of hand held device prior to the crash. Moran stated he was not. I asked Moran if he was distracted by anything either inside the vehicle or something on the roadway prior to the crash. Moran stated he was not. I asked Moran if he was currently impaired in any way that would impede his ability to operate a vehicle safely. Moran stated he was not. I asked Moran if he takes any medications or has a medical condition that would impede his ability to operate a vehicle safely. Moran stated he does not. Moran reported no injuries as a result of the crash. I observed Moran's vehicle at its controlled rest location. The vehicle was parked on Waltham Street (S) in the southbound lane just past the intersection of Crafts Street. The 2007 Chrysler Town and Country (MA: 5EE316) had substantial damage to the front passenger side bumper, hood, fender, windshield, and passenger door area. There was physical evidence of what appeared to be hair, blood, and tissue presumed to be from the operator of MV2 present in the cracked windshield, and on the passenger side door/mirror area. I observed a blue Commonwealth of Massachusetts "R" inspection sticker with a date of 05/28/2020 affixed to the windshield. Moran stated the rejection sticker was a result of an emissions failure. The inspection sticker expires in 2021. I asked Moran if there were any other mechanical issues with the vehicle. Moran stated there were no issues to his knowledge. I observed no objects present inside the vehicle during my investigation that would have potentially impeded the operators ability to see clearly through the windshield. I observed glass debris from the windshield inside the passenger and driver area of the vehicle. There was no air bag deployment inside the vehicle. Subsequent to my investigation, the vehicle was seized pending the status of the operator of MV2. The vehicle was towed from the scene by Tody's towing and secured in the Newton Police Department garage. The vehicle was escorted to the garage by Officer Donovan. A towed motor vehicle form was completed by Officer Donovan and the key for the vehicle was secured in property locker number 9. A property/evidence form was completed. Subsequent to my investigation Moran's black Alcatel cell phone was seized pending the status of the operator of MV2. A property/evidence form was completed and the phone was secured in property locker number 9. Officer Conary stated to me that prior to my arrival on scene she interviewed a witness to the crash and provided me with the following information. Joshua Hamel was operating his vehicle (W) in the right lane of Crafts Street towards Waltham Street. Hamel stated that MV1 (MA: 5EE136) was in the left turn lane on Crafts Street (W) towards Waltham. Hamel stated the scooter was headed eastbound on Crafts Street from Waltham. Hamel stated MV1 began to take a left turn and there was a head on collision with the scooter. Hamel stated he believed the traffic light at the time of the crash was green. On Friday, October 9, 2020, I spoke with Hamel via telephone. Hamel corroberated the statement he gave to Officer Conary. I asked Hamel if he believed the headlights on the motorized scooter were activated at the time of the crash. Hamel stated he believes the headlights on the motorized scooter were on as it approached the intersection but was not postive. On Wednesday, October 7, 2020, I spoke with Mr. Tchikou in his ICU room at Brigham and Women's Hospital. Tchikou's wife, Yami Carrajza, was present in the room while I spoke with him. Tchikou stated he had a significant head injury, injuries to his nasal cavity, his back, and a significant injury to his left leg. I asked Tchikou about his recollection of the crash. Tchikou stated he had just left his friend's home on Hazelhurt Avenue in Newton and was traveling home to Brighton to bring his wife dinner. Tchikou stated he was traveling Eastbound on Crafts Street as he approached the intersection of Crafts Street and Waltham Street. Tchikou stated he had a green light and as he entered the intersection a white vehicle took a turn from the opposite side of the road in front of him. Tchikou stated he does not remember anything after that. I asked Tchikou if he was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash. Tchikou stated he was. I explained to Tchikou that I recovered a white Iphone with a red case at the scene of the crash. Tchikou identified the Iphone as his. I explained that the phone was displaying travel directions when I found it and I asked Tchikou if he was distracted by his phone prior to the crash. Tchikou stated he was not distracted by the phone and the phone was in a holder on the motorized scooter. I asked Tchikou if he remembers if his headlights were activated on his motorized scooter at the time of the crash. Tchikou stated they were on. I asked Tchikou if he could produce paperwork for the motorized scooter to prove he was the owner. Tchikou stated he had recently purchased the scooter and the paperwork for it was at his residence. Tchkou's wife e-mailed me a picture of the Certificate of Origin for the motorized scooter. I asked Tchikou if he could produce a license or permit that would allow him to operate the motorized scooter. Tchikou stated he did not have a Massachusetts license or permit, but had an Algerian license at this residence. I was able to observe a picture of the license on his wife's cell phone. The written text on the license was in Arabic. Tchikou did not have a translation of the license in English and did not possess an International Driver's Permit. As a result of my investigation, Mr. William Moran while operating MV1 (MA: 5EE316) entered the travel lane of MV2 (Tchikou) as he was making a left turn onto Waltham Street from Crafts Street. MV2 had the right of way and MV1 failed to yield to MV2's right of way causing the collision to take place. Moran was advised of my investigation and issued Massachusetts Uniform Citation T0115914 via mail by request for Chapter 90, Section 8 (Fail To Yield To The Right Of Way At An Intersection.) Mr. Nadhir Tchikou operated his motor scooter at the time of the crash without a valid license/permit. Tchikou is also in violation of operation of a motor scooter after dark (prohibited).

Passenger of Motor Vehicle # 1 stated that they had a green light and were stopped at the intersection of Washington Street and Beacon Street traveling Eastbound attempting to turn left onto Beacon Street. Passenger of Motor Vehicle # 1 stated that they started turning left because they had a clear path becasue a box truck was allowing them to turn and a jeep came out of nowhere which caused them to make impact with vehicle #2.

On November 1st, 2020 at approximately 14:02 hours while assigned to N491 I responded along with Newton Fire and Medic One to the intersection of Pearl St @ Jackson Rd for a MV crash with minor injuries. On my arrival I first observed in the intersection a green colored Volkswagon with Vermont tag,HPK270 with extensive damage. The other involved vehicle a white Jeep Wrangler, bearing Ma tag, 8WK846 was located on the property of the Lincoln Elliot School, 191 Pearl St, also with extensive damage. The operator of the green Volkswagon was identified as Viorel Marin. He stated he was going E/B on Pearl St and was approaching the intersection of Jackson Rd when the light had turned green. As he was entered the intersection vehicle #2 came from his right side(N/B) on Jackson Rd at, according to him, a high rate of speed causing his vehicle to collide with the Jeep. He doesn't remember much after that. I observed a small cut to his right knee and later he showed me a small abrasion to his forehead. All his air bags had deployed on contact with vehicle #2 . I located the operator of the Jeep who was sitting on the ground being assisted by an unidentified women(not a passenger). She appeared shaken but had no visible signs of any serious injury from the crash. She identified herself as Tara Feeley. According to Ms Feeley she had been travelling N/B on Jackson Rd and was attempting to continue straight across the intersection of Pearl St when she was struck by vehicle #1 in the intersection. The impact caused her vehicle to flip over unknown amount of times finally landing on the property to the Lincoln Eliot School. Based on operator #2's statements, my observations of the scene, damage to her MV, it appeared her vehicle after contact with vehicle #1, flipped over N/B across the intersection first hitting the traffic light on the northeast corner, additionally making contact with the utility pole just east of the traffic light before finally landing right side up on the property of the Lincoln Eliot School. She reported climbing out her passenger side window when her vehicle finally stopped. She said,"she was lucky she had her seat belt on". I agreed. Ms Feeley also reported that she was sure that her light was green as she entered the intersection. I attempted to locate any possible witnesses from the crowd that were gathered near the crash site. There were two that heard the crash but none that actually saw what happened. I couldn't locate any cameras near the intersection. Both vehicles were towed from the scene due to the extensive damage/both totaled. Both operators had minor injuries and both declined to be transported to the hospital. They signed patient refusals. Officer Danny Anderson later took several pictures of the crash scene and the all the property damage. Both utility companies were notified. The camera disc was placed in the technology bureau mailbox.

Bike was traveling east on Beacon St with the right of way. MV#1 was traveling west on Beacon St, and turning left onto Upland Rd. As the bike was traveling east past Upland Rd, MV#1 took a left onto Upland Rd in front of the bike. this caused the bike to crash into MV#1. Operator of the bike sustained injuries, and was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital. Operator of MV#1 sustained no injuries and signed a patient refusal. Pictures were taken and submitted to IT to be attached to this report.

Operator of vehicle one ( MA reg 1HK920 2010 Toyota Tacoma ) Brian Robidoux stated that on 11/06/2020 at 14:49 hours he was driving west bound on Auburndale Ave near Lexington St. Both Auburndale Ave and Lexington St are public ways in the City of Newton. Robidoux stated that west bound traffic had a green light at the intersection of Lexington St, and that north and south bound traffic on Lexington St had a red light. Robidoux stated that as he turned his vehicle left into the north bound lane of Lexington St was hit on the front driver's side quarter panel by motorized bicycle that did not stop for the red light. Robidoux stated that he was not injured in the crash and his vehicle did not required a tow. The operator of the motorized bicycle Arif Ahmed stated that he was riding north bound on Lexington St on a Lectric XP motorized bicycle. The vehicle that Ahmed was riding on meets the definition of a moped set forth by MGL 90/1, specifically that it's top seed was not in excess of 30 MPH. According to the owners manual that I found on line the top speed for the Lectric XP is 20 MPH. Ahmed stated that he believed that north bound traffic on Lexington St had a green light but he could not be sure. Ahmed also stated that he was unfamiliar with the area and it traffic patterns. Ahmed stated that he saw Robidoux vehicle and thought it would stop. Ahmed stated that at the time of crash be estimated that he was travailing approximately 12 MPH. Ahmed was transported via EMS to Newton Wellesley Hospital form treatment of lacerations to his hands, legs and possible internal injuries. During the investigation of this crash I discovered via the MA RMV data base that Ahmed's driver's licenses was suspend on 10/05/2020 as a part of a CWOF for 90/24 OUI . Ahmed is on active probation of out Natick Distinct Court until 09/24/2021. Under Comm v. Lopez 91 Mass App. Ct. 485 ( 2017 ) the charge for operating a moped with a suspended license should be charged as 90/10 , operating with out a license as opposed to 90/23 operating with a suspended licenses. Under MGL 90/1d moped must have one number plate issued by the MA RMV , and Ahmed's moped did not. I took photos of Robidoux's vehicle and of Ahmed moped and the disk was downloaded by the NPD's IT Bureau. Based upon statements made to me as well as information from the MA RMV data base I issued Ahmed MA Criminal Application T2015903 and cited him for MGL 90/10, operating with out a license, 89/9 failure to stop for a red light and 90/1d, unregistered moped.

On November 6th, 2020 at approximately 14:20 hours while assigned to N491 I responded to Centre St on the bridge over the Mass pike N/B for a report of a multiple MV crash with possible injuries. On my arrival to the scene I observed vehicle #1, a grey Honda civic, ma reg. rs794x resting half on the sidewalk the other half crushed into the rear passenger side of vehicle #2. I was then informed there were two additional vehicles involved. Vehicle #1 apparently first crashed into vehicle #2 after abruptly changing lanes into the lane MV#2 was stopped in. This set of a chain reaction in which MV #2 to was forced into the rear of vehicle(#3) which then forced vehicle #3 into the vehicle(#4). Vehicles 2 thru 4 were all stopped due to the signal light being red at the time of the crash. I located the operator to vehicle #1 sitting on the sidewalk bleeding from several areas to his face which he sustained from the crash. He was identified as Terrence Donnelly. He reported driving N/B over the Centre St Bridge and was changing lanes when he realized the traffic was stopped in that lane. He attempted to avoid hitting the vehicle(#2) now in front of him, by swerving to the right to go onto the sidewalk but he still slammed half his vehicle into the rear passenger side of vehicle #2. I spoke with the operator to vehicle #2 identified as Linda Borque. She stated she was stopped on the bridge N/B near the off ramp to the mass pike(exit17 W/B) when she was rear ended by vehicle #1. The impact forced her M/V into the vehicle stopped in front of her(#3). Operator to vehicle #3 was identified as Sylvie Miskovitch. She stated she was also stopped on the bridge N/B for the signal light when she was rear ended by vehicle #2 which forced her vehicle into the vehicle stopped in front of her(#4). Operator of vehicle #4 was identified as Ronise Dorce. She stated she was stopped on the bridge N/B just at the exit to the Mass pike W/B when she was rear ended by vehicle #3. All drivers sustained minor injuries and all declined to go to the hospital. Patient refusal forms were signed by all parties. Vehicle # 1 was the only MV towed from the scene by Todys.

MV1 stated she was turning left onto JFK Cir and "did not see" the 2 pedestrians subsequently striking them. I observed MV1 to be about 2-3 feet from the sidewalk on the left which showed she was driving on the wrong side of the road. When I brought this to the operators attention she stated "no one was coming." Operator reported no injuries or damage to the vehicle. Citation # T2012942 issued for marked lanes. The pedestrians, Luda & Andrei Manea stated they were crossing JFK Cir when they were struck by MV1. Luda sustained a laceration to her face and was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital for a further evaluation. Andrei complained of pain to his left side, declined to be evaluated on scene, however was transported to NWH with his wife via Cataldo Ambulance. Digital images of the scene, (after MV1 had to move out of the way) were captured and turned over to the IT Bureau. It should be noted that this intersection is rather dark & Luda was wearing a dark blue shirt & Andrei was wearing a white shirt.

MV1 stated she was on Watertown St heading w/b and "stopped, then turned left onto Adams St when the bicycle hit me." I observed minor damage to the driver's side front bumper, however the operator stated that she "did not know if that was old or new." I asked the operator if the bicycle was coming towards her or was travelling next to her to which both she and a witness stated "alongside on the left by the yellow lines." No tows required or injuries reported. The bicyclist stated he was travelling e/b and not w/b on Watertown St as the witness and operator of MV1 reported. The bicyclist further stated that MV1 was "stopped" in the intersection so "I continued straight and she turned right into me." The bicyclist further stated that he remembers seeing the "headlight and drivers side front hit the back of my bike." The bicycle was heavily damaged and the rear wheel was broken off. The bicyclist was placed in a c-spine collar by Cataldo Ambulance and transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital for abrasions to his head, left hand and right leg." Digital images of the scene were captured and turned over to the IT Bureau by Ofc Durickas. The bicyclist had a helmet, headlight, rear light and was wearing reflective clothing. It should be noted that the Village Bank has a camera which faces this intersection. Due to both MV1 & the bicycle being moved from the scene prior to my arrival, the conflicting stories regarding the direction of travel regarding the bicyclist, it is unknown at this time who is at fault.

On 12/10/20 at approximately 13:23 myself along with other Police, Fire and Ambulance units, responded to the intersection of Chestnut St. and Elliot St. for a two vehicle crash. Upon arrival I spoke with the operator of veh#1 who stated she was driving on Elliot St. due West when she proceeded through the intersection and was struck on her passenger side by veh #2. The operators 2 young children were in back of her vehicle in child seats. Her son was behind the passenger and her daughter was behind her. Both front and side airbags were deployed in veh #1.
