On Wednesday, January 9, 2019, while assigned to Traffic unit N525, I responded to 457 Walnut Street, Newton for a report of a past motor vehicle/pedestrian accident involving a student at Newton North High School. I met with the pedestrian involved in the accident, Ellie McBride, in the Riley House admin office. McBride is a Freshman at Newton North High School. McBride's mother, Linda Hanusaik, was also present while I spoke with her. McBride stated at approximately 0740 hours, she was attempting to cross Lowell Avenue in a marked crosswalk at Highland Street (E). McBride stated she observed a newer model gray Acura SUV traveling towards her Southbound on Lowell Avenue while she was standing in the crosswalk. McBride stated she thought the vehicle was going to slow down for her. McBride stated as the vehicle got closer it appeared to be slowing down but was unable to avoid making contact with her. The front end of MV1 made contact with McBride's left side. The impact caused McBride to fall down onto the roadway. McBride stated the vehicle pulled over and the operator exited the vehicle to check on her. McBride stated the operator was a white female with long brown hair, possibly high school aged. McBride stated after she told the operator that she wasn't hurt, the operator returned to her vehicle and left the area, possibly towards Commonwealth Avenue.

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.

On Sunday, May 5th, 2019 at approximately 1315 hours while working the City of Newton detail for the Walk for Hunger I was standing at my assigned post at the intersection of Centre Street and Willow Street. 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.

MV#1 was traveling south on Walnut St, and attempting to take a right turn onto Floral St. The pedestrian was crossing Floral St, south bound, in a cross walk. MV#1 hit the pedestrian with his passenger side mirror causing him to fall to the ground. I first spoke with the operator of MV#1.

The witness stated that he was walking behind the pedestrian. The witness stated that he observed the pedestrian begin to cross at the cross walk, and the truck make the turn. The witness stated that the truck was moving slowly as he made the turn. The witness stated that as he was making the turn, he observed the side mirror hit the pedestrian, knocking him over.

Edna stated she observed the operator make eye contact with her and she proceeded to honk her horn in attempts to stop him. Edna stated the vehicle that caused the accident was a white colored 18 wheeler type of truck with the markings of "3 letters" all in different colors. Edna have a company video camera that faces forward attached to her vehicle that may have captured the accident. I spoke to her company manager Lisa Sanella at "TransAction Corporate Shuttles" located at 5 Wheeling Ave in Woburn MA and she will notify me if she is able to view video footages. The building owner of 1170- 1176 Walnut St Stas Gavronsky have a surveillance camera that faces Walnut St southbound towards Floral St. He will review the video footages once power have been restored that the area and notify me.

I viewed the video footage from Transaction Corporate Shuttles and it showed the 18 wheeler truck was travelling northbound on Walnut, catching the utility wires above and causing an electrical spark on the eastbound side of Floral St. It showed the truck slowed down and then continued to travel northbound. I spoke to Will at (570) 350-3453 and he confirmed he was making deliveries to the Wholefoods and was on Walnut St at approximately 09:00. Will stated the top corner portion of his truck did catch the above wires and heard a "twang". Will stated he briefly stopped and did not observed any damages so he continued to make his deliveries.

On 01/09/20 at approximately 13:30 hours, a pedestrian Scott Lorenz came in to the lobby of Newton Police Headquarters to report that he was struck by a motorist while crossing the intersection of Cherry & Webster Streets. This accident took place at approximately 13:00 hours on this date. Mr. Lorenz further stated that he was walking on foot and attempting to cross Cherry Street going eastbound at Webster Street. He says that he did not activate the cross walk signal but thought it was clear to proceed as Webster Street had a red light signal. While attempting to cross, he says that the westbound lane of Webster Street received a green light and MV1 proceeded to turn left on to Cherry Street from Webster Street. He then looked at the motorist and thought that she saw him. Once she kept approaching and realizing that he was not seen, he started to back track but was struck by the front end of MV1. Lorenz then tumbled back and fell down to the ground. He says that he got up feeling fine and alerted the motorist that he was struck. The two of them exchanged information and then left the scene with out notifying 911 of the accident. After, Lorenz then came in to Newton Police Headquarters to report it. I observed a small round swollen red mark to the inside of his right knee area and a red mark to the back left side of his neck. Digital photos were taken of his injuries. Mr. Lorenz declined medical attention and wanted this incident documented in case his possible injuries worsened. I then spoke to the operator of MV1, Sharon Pywell (MA S23277423), on the phone after. Pywell stated that she was operating her Toyota Prius bearing MA reg. # 2197RW on Webster Street facing westbound at Cherry Street waiting for the green signal to turn left on to Cherry Street. Once the light changed, she attempted to turn and never saw a pedestrian trying to cross Cherry Street. I asked her if she ever felt contact to which she replied that she was not aware that she ever struck someone. She further says that once she did see him, she believed that he never lost his balance or ever fell down. She says that he retrieved his backpack from the ground and approached her driver's side opening her door stating that he was struck by her.

Operator of MV1 stated while traveling Northbound on Walnut Street MV2 was traveling close to his vehicle. Operator of MV1 stated as he approached the crosswalk to let a pedestrian cross, MV2 was in the left turn only lane onto Austin Street. Operator of MV1 stated MV2 then passed him on the left, striking the driver side of his vehicle and continued on Walnut Street toward Washington Street.

The Operator of MV2 stated while traveling Northbound on Walnut Street, MV1 was attempting to look for a parking spot by stopping at times and turning his turn signal on and off. Operator of MV2 stated as MV1 turned his turn signal on and stopped after multiple times of breaking, he went around MV1. Operator of MV2 stated he did not know he struck the other vehicle and that is why he continued on Walnut Street. MV1 had moderate damage to the driver side of the vehicle. MV2 had moderate scratches to the passenger side of his vehicle.

Garcia stated she looked over and saw a crossing guard on the roadway on Brookline Street (S) at Hartman Road. The injured pedestrian involved in the crash is Cassandra Alexander (S23636307). 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. Alexander stated she began to enter the intersection of Brookline Street at Hartman Road with her hands up and her department issued yellow reflective jacket on in an effort to stop traffic in the area to allow the pedestrian in the marked crosswalk safely cross. Alexander stated she was struck on her left side by a passing vehicle. Alexander stated she did not see the vehicle and fell to the roadway. Alexander stated as she was falling to the roadway she extended her right arm in an effort to brace her fall. Alexander stated she had injuries to her arms and legs and was sore from the collision.

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.

On Sunday, March 1st 2020, at approximately 5:38pm, I, Officer Brooks, was dispatched to the intersection of Linwood avenue and Watertown street for a bicyclist struck by a MV. Upon my arrival I spoke with the bicyclist who stated she was traveling westbound on Watertown street, and was in the crosswalk at the intersection of Linwood avenue, when she was struck by MV1(MA REG67FD40), which had been traveling southbound on Linwood avenue. The bicyclist stated that the operator of MV1 did not come to a stop at the stop sign. The bicyclist was complaining of minor leg pain, but signed a patient refusal with Cataldo. The bicyclist was dressed in black pants, and a gray sweater, and was not wearing a helmet. The bicycle sustained damage to the handlebars. At the time of the accident the sun was setting, however the street lights had not yet come on. I then spoke with the operator of MV1 who stated she was traveling southbound on Linwood avenue, and was attempting to turn right onto Watertown street when she struck the bicyclist. The operator stated she never saw the bicyclist before the collision. The front of MV1 sustained minor damage. I was able to speak with a witness to the accident over the phone after clearing the scene. The witness stated that MV1 failed to stop at the stop sign at the intersection of Linwood and Watertown street, and that the bicyclist was already well into the crosswalk at the time of the collision. Officer Howes took pictures of the accident scene that have been submitted to the IT bureau. Based of the witness statements MA Uniform citation T2080576 has been mailed to the operator of MV1 for MGL C.89 S.11 Failing to yield for a pedestrian in a cross walk.

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. Operator of MV2 stated he was traveling Eastbound on Washington St. attempting to merge Northbound onto Washington St. into the center lane to travel over the bridge and through the intersection, however didn't see MV1 and collided with MV1. 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.

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 6/27/20 at approx 1719 I responded to the area of Brookline ST and Hartman Rd for a report of a MVA with no injuries. Upon arrival I spoke with both operators involved in the accident. Operator of MV#1 stated she was traveling SB on Brookline St when she came to a stop to let a vehicle turn out of Spaulding Ln and then a pedestrian cross the crosswalk when she was rear ended by MV#2. Operator of MV#1 sustained no injuries and MV#1 had moderate rear end damage.

On August 13th, 2020, while working in marked unit N526, I responded to a 2 car MVA involving pedestrians at the intersection of Beacon Street and Chestnut Street, Newton. The weather at the time of the crash was clear and sunny. The road surface was dry. Beacon Street and Chestnut Street are both public ways maintained by the City of Newton. The operator of MV1, Maria Dinapoli (S92626906), stated she was operating her 2018 Toyota Corolla ( MA REG: 1KNW71) heading west on Beacon Street and had the green light at the intersection of Chestnut Street. Dinapoli stated she was traveling straight through the intersection when MV2 which was traveling east on Beacon Street at the time cut infront of her vehicle to take a left turn onto Chestnut Street. Dinapoli stated she applied her brakes but was unable to stop in time and made contact with MV2. The impact of the crash caused MV1 to drive over the curb and onto the sidewalk where it made light contact with a baby stroller with a 1 year old inside. MV1 also struck and damaged a Newton Fire Department box that was located on the sidewalk. The baby stroller was being operated by the mother identified as Anna Gilman (S11328154). The pedestrians reported no injuries and signed patient refusals with Medic 2. MV1 sustained moderate front end damage and was towed from the scene by Todys. Dinapoli also reported no injuries and signed a patient refusal with Medic 2. The operator of MV2, Leena Dolabany (S12410136), stated she was operating her 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee (MA REG: 1TCZ14) heading east on Beacon Street and had the green light at the intersection of Chestnut Street. Dolabany stated she was in a line of cars in traffic waiting to take the left turn onto Chestnut Street. Dolabany stated as the cars infront of her continued through the intersection she took a left onto Chestnut Street and as she was already into the turn she was struck by MV1. MV2 sustained moderate damage to the passenger side panel. Dolabany reported no injuries and signed a patient refusal by Medic 2. A query of all vehicles and parties involved through dispatch determined that MV2 was revoked for insurance. After speaking with the operator I was informed that MV2 had recently switched insurance agencies and Dolabany was able to provide paperwork from Geico Insurance stating the vehicle was insured. Due to the registry not displaying a valid registration, MV2 was towed from the scene by Todys. I advised Dolabany to contact her insurance company and advise them to update their information with the registry so she can retrieve the vehicle. Photographs of the scene and damage to city property were taken by Officer Wilson and submitted to the IT Bureau. On August 14th, 2020 I spoke with the operator of MV2, Leena Dolabany and her father George Dolabany in the front lobby of the police station. They provided paperwork from Geico Insurance that stated the vehicle was infact insured at the time of the accident and that there was an error made by the Registry of Motor Vehicles. Sgt. Devine and I advised them that we have to use the Registry's database for our investigation and because it still states the vehicle is revoked for insurance we can not release the license plates. Sgt. Devine advised them they could get another tow company to come and take custody of the vehicle but the plates will be seized until the registry shows an active status on the registration. I issued Mass uniform citation T2017328 in hand to Leena and advised her she will be summoned for a hearing for the following violations; Ch 90 section 34J Operating MV without insurance and Ch 90 section 9 Unregistered MV.

On Wednesday September 2nd, 2020 I responded to 341 Lexington Street for a report of a past motor vehicle accident involving a pedestrian that reportedly occurred around 12:25pm at the intersection of Commonwealth Ave and Lexington St. At the time of the reported incident the weather was cloudy/rainy and the road surface was wet. Both Commonwealth Ave and Lexington St are owned and maintained by the City of Newton. Upon arrival I spoke with the parent of the pedestrian identified as Tamika Olszewski. Tamika stated her daughter, Morgan Olszewsk, her twin brother Dean Olszewski and several friends took their bikes and went to Dunkin Donuts in Auburndale. Tamika stated when the group returned from Dunkin Donuts her daughter Morgan told her that she was hit by a car while crossing Commonwealth Ave. I spoke with Morgan and she stated she was in front of Dunkin Donuts and pressed the crosswalk button on the traffic light to cross over Commonwealth Ave. Morgan stated she crossed the street inside the crosswalk and noticed the crosswalk light signal was counting down. Morgan stated she heard a shrieking noise from a car slamming on the brakes and stuck hand out and touched a white car to keep her balance. Morgan stated she did not fall down or sustain any injuries. Morgan stated she continued across the street towards the picnic benches that are located in front of Starbucks. Morgan stated she then walked home and told her mother what happened. Morgan's only description of the vehicle involved was white car. Dean Olszewski and Ryan Poras stated they were at the picnic benches and left their bikes there and walked in the crosswalk to Dunkin Donuts to get some food. Dean and Ryan stated they then left the store and crossed back to the picnic benches where Deans sister Morgan was waiting. Dean gave Morgan some money so she could go to Dunkin Donuts and Morgan went and crossed the street alone and the next thing they saw was Morgan in front of Dunkin Donuts with an unknown woman with her arms around Morgan. Dean and Ryan stated Morgan crossed back to the picnic benches and when they asked Morgan what had happened she stated "nothing". Later Morgan then told Dean she was hit by a car. I spoke with an employee of Dunkin Donuts who stated he witnessed the entire incident. Kelvin Matovu stated he had groups of kids coming inside to get donuts around 12:25pm. Kelvin stated he witnessed Morgan with other children at the picnic benches in front of Starbucks. Kelvin stated he saw Morgan attempting to cross Commonwealth Ave with her helmet on and no bicycle with her. Kelvin stated Morgan pressed the crosswalk button on the traffic light at the intersection but stated she did not cross in the crosswalk and crossed directly in front of the stores windows which are not in line with the crosswalk. Kelvin stated he did not notice if she had the walk sign or not. Kelving stated as Morgan crossed into traffic she was rushing and stopped in the middle of the road where the two yellow medium stripes are and looked confused. Kelvin stated it seemed she was confused because cars were going past her in both directions and so she stopped in the middle of the road. Kelvin stated a female customer who was inside the store went out and made contact with Morgan when she finally crossed the street and made it to the front door of Dunkin Donuts. Kelvin stated he did not see a car make contact with Morgan or hear anything related to a crash. Kelving stated Morgan seemed confused and did not appear injured. Kelvin stated the female customer put her arms around Morgan to make sure she was okay. After the incident, Kelvin stated Morgan did not enter the store and went back to the picnic benches where the other children were located and they left northbound on Lexington Street. Kelvin stated the female customer came into the store and Kelvin gave the woman a free coffee for assisting Morgan. The unidentified female customer then left the area. Dunkin Donuts has no cameras that face the street. Officer G. Claflin spoke with the employees at Keys Drugstore and they stated they did have cameras facing the street and will contact the store manager who will contact the Traffic Bureau if the incident was caught on the camera. I advised Tamika that a report will be filed and if there is any development regarding the possible car involved I will contact her. Medic 2 was on scene and Tamika signed a patient refusal for Morgan. Morgan is a student at Burr Elementary School. While writing this report Tamika called and stated that Morgan remembered that the woman who assisted her after the collision walked her inside Dunkin Donuts.

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.
