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.

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

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

The operator of MV1 stated he was traveling Northbound on Centre St. at the intersection of Hyde Ave. when a vehicle in front of him braked. When he stepped on his brakes to slow down, MV1 skidded on ice off to the right into the "Speed Limit 25" sign, knocking it over. Tody's responded and pulled the vehicle off of the sign and the vehicle was able to be driven from the scene safetly. No injuries were reported. Photos of the sign were submitted to the IT bureau to be attatched to this report.

MV1 was stopped at a red light north on Tremont St at Waverly Ave. MV2 was stopped behind MV1. MV2 reached for something and her foot slipped off the gas and she bumped the rear of MV1. All parties agreed that it was a tap from behind and that there was no damage to either MV. However, there were 2 special needs students on the van that go to NNHS. Amb1 responded and obtained refusals from both parents who responded to the scene. I took pictures of both MVs and TOT IT.

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

On 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.

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

The OP of MV#1 states while travelling northbound on Moulton Street, he observed MV#2 sanding the intersection of Cornell Street so he stopped. MV#2 then started reversing in his direction and when MV#2 didn't stop, the OP. of MV#1 then honked his horn but they still collided. The OP. of MV#2 states he was sanding Cornell Street and was doing a U-turn at the intersection of Moulton Street. He didn't observe MV#1 being on Moulton Street at this time so continued sanding the area. When he reversed, that's when his rear tire collided with MV#1. Pictures were taken by me.

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

V.1 Was stopped at the intersection of Walnut St and Comm Ave Southbound waiting for the traffic light to turn green when they were hit by V.2 in the rear of their vehicle. V.2 came to a complete stop behind V.1. When the left lane turn arrow turned green V.2 pulled forward a little and struck V.1 in the rear.There was no visible damage to either vehicle. Pictures were taken and turned into IT.

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.

The operator of Vehicle #1 stated that he stopped, prior to proceeding through the Stop Sign Southbound at Lewis St, and Newtonville Ave prior to colliding with the bicyclist. The bicyclist stated that he was travelling Westbound on Newtonville Ave prior to colliding with Vehicle #1. Vehicle #1 was cited for a violation of M.G.L. Ch.89/S.9-Stop Sign. It should be noted that the bicyclist was wearing a helmet, and a rear flasher, however wore no other bright, or reflective clothing. All parties declined medical attention. Pictures of the scene were taken by me, and placed in the IT box.

Operator of MV1 states she was driving Northbound on Centre St. She states she was in the right (straight ) lane, going the speed limit. She states MV2 attempted to turn left in front of her, and she was unable to avoid them. She stated MV2 struck her vehicle on the left front side, sending her off the road and into the traffic signal on the northeast side of the roadway. Operator of MV2 states he was driving southbound on Centre St, attempting to turn left onto Walnut St. He stated he did not see MV1 until the least second, because of the cars in the opposite turn lane. He stated he attempted to stop, but believed MV1 was speeding and he did not have time. Witness 1 was directly behind MV2. He stated it looked like MV2 was attempting to turn left in front of him. He stated MV1 did not appear to be speeding, and that MV2 turned into MV1. He stated he did not think the two cars could see each other until the last second. Witness 2 was in the opposite turn lane. She also stated it appeared MV1 was driving the proper speed, and MV2 turned into MV1. MV1 was towed by Tody's. MV2 was moved off to the side on Walnut St to wait for AAA. 2 parties from MV2 were transported to NWH with minor injuries. Operator of MV2 was given in hand MA citation# T1441667 for 89/8, Fail to yield while turning left. A traffic signal was taken down, and Dagle electric was notified to respond. All other lights were functioning properly. 4 photos were taken of the damage.

On Monday, March 11, 2019 while assigned to Traffic unit N525, I responded to the area of Watertown Street and Adams Street, Newton for a report of a motor vehicle/pedestrian accident. The accident was reported to Newton Police Dispatch by Newton Police Officer Charles Guarino. Officer Guarino identified the pedestrian involved in the accident as Newton Police Officer James Selig. Watertown Street and Adams Street are both public ways maintained by the City of Newton. After completing my investigation, the operator of MV1, Colleen Butaney (S20012566) was issued Massachusetts Uniform Citation T1272995 for Chapter 90, Section 25 (Fail to Stop for a Police Officer) and Chapter 89, Section 4A (Marked Lanes Violation). Butaney was advised and the citation was placed in her property in Locker #4 in the NPD holding area prior to her release. Officer T. McCarthy completed and submitted a criminal application for Butaney for Chapter 265, Section 15b (Assault with a Dangerous Weapon, MV). Please refer to incident report #19009204 for statements from all parties involved. Photos were taken of the area/vehicle and submitted to the IT Bureau.

Surveillance footage of the incident was recovered from a local business and was submitted to the IT Bureau/Support Services. A property and evidence form was completed and submitted to Officer Manouk.

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

On Friday, March 29th 2019, at approximately 5pm, I, Officer Brooks, responded to the area of 450 Crafts street to speak with an operator who was involved in an accident. On my arrival I spoke with the operator of MV1(MA REG 28Z390), who stated approximately a half hour ago she was involved in a MVA with MV2(MA REG 7HA817), at the intersection of Crafts street and Albemarle road. The operator of MV1 stated she had been traveling westbound on Crafts street, when MV2 pulled off of Albemarle road heading southbound and struck her vehicle. I observed damage to the passenger side front quarter panel and wheel well of MV1. The operator stated she exchanged information with the operator of MV2, and they both went their seperate ways. MV1 is a rental car, and then the operator of MV1 called the rental car company they requested she make a police report. I was able to speak with the operator of MV2 via telephone. He states he was traveling on Albermarle road, and stopped at the stop sign at the intersection with Crafts street. After stopping he began to pull out, and his vehicle "scraped" MV1. The operator of MV2 stated he never saw MV1 coming. I saw pictures of the damage to his vehicle, which consisted of scratches on the drivers side front bumper and quarter panels. No injuries were reported and both vehicles were driven from the scene. I provided both operators with the report number.

On 04/01/2019, at 1736 hrs, I responded to the intersection of Washington St and Waverley Ave for a single vehicle MVA. Upon arrival, I observed a city sign with street names and a stop sign bent over to the ground. There were tire marks across the small island leading up to the signs at the intersection. The vehicle on scene had damage to its front passenger side. The operator of the vehicle stated he was traveling westbound on Washington St and attempted to turn left onto Waverley Ave when he ran over the island and struck the sign. He stated a vehicle was traveling eastbound on Washington St which sped up and caused him to crash. Pictures were taken of the city property damage and submitted to IT. The city was also notified to replace the signs.

MV1 a City of Newton school bus was stopped southbound on Parker St at Rte 9 east to turn left onto the ramp. MV2 began passing the bus on the right when the bus turned left onto the ramp. The right rear corner of the bus struck the front left wheel well of MV2. I took pictures of the damage to MV2 and TOT IT. I spoke with Regina Moody of transportation and she put me in contact with the driver of a bus who was in the area at the time of the MVA. On Thursday I met with Joseph Montuna who was in the area at the time of the MVA. His bus is 362. The side of his bus says Eastern Bus Company. It does not say Newton Public Schools anywhere visible. I looked at the right rear of the bus that would have come into contact with the MV. There was not even a smudge on the bumper. I am not positive that this is the bus involved. I have attempted to contact MV2 for clarification to positively ID the correct bus. The number provided goes directly to VM which is full. It is possible that this was a non Newton school bus involved that I am unable to identify.

The operator of vehicle 1 stated that with a green left turn arrow showing, and her left directional on she went to turn onto Waltham Street from Crafts Street when all of the sudden she hit a bicyclist.

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 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.

Captain Anastaisa stated that the operator of the scooter was a 12 year old male who had sustained unknown injures and had been transported to Boston Children's Hospital via ambulance. Upon my arrival at the crash scene I made the following observations, Putnam and Winthrop streets are public ways in the city of Newton that are two way single lane non divided roadways. The roadway surface was wet from rain earlier in the day. Putnam St runs north to south and Winthrop St runs east to west. There is a stop sign at the end of Winthrop St at Putnam St. I observed MA reg 54MN41 a 2005 Buick LeSabre stopped in the south bound lane of Putnam St approximately 1/2 of the way into the intersection with Winthrop St. I observed approximately three feet of skid marks from the Buick's rear tires.

Garcia stated she entered the marked crosswalk and was a few steps into Brookline Street when a black colored vehicle traveling on Brookline Street (N) slammed on its brakes near the crosswalk. Garcia stated she looked to her left at the vehicle and then heard a thud to the right from the area where the crossing guard was standing near Hartman Road. 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. I spoke with a second witness to the crash via telephone, Anand Vaidya (S43996134). Vaidya stated he was stopped in traffic behind MV1 on Brookline Street (Southbound). Vaidya stated he observed the vehicle in front of MV1 proceed straight on Brookline Street after being stopped in traffic. Vaidya stated he then observed MV1 proceed straight on Brookline Street at Hartman Road at a low rate of speed. Vaidya estimated the speed of MV1 at this time to be 5 miles per hour. 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.

On Thursday, February 6, 2020 while assigned to Traffic unit N525, I responded to the intersection of Franklin Street and Shornecliff Road, Newton for a motor vehicle crash involving a City of Newton owned vehicle. The weather at the time of the accident was light rain. The road surface was wet. Franklin Street and Shornecliff Road are both public ways maintained by the City of Newton. I spoke with the operator of MV1, John Fleming (S67400731). Fleming works for the Utilities Division for the City of Newton and was operating a City of Newton owned 2005 INTL 700SER (MA MVN: M98492 ) 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 came into the front desk of NPD HQ to report an past hit and run accident that occurred at 15:50 at the intersection of California and Crafts Street.

On 06/10/2020 at 1249hrs I responded to the intersection of Fairway Drive and Watertown Street for a two car motor vehicle crash involving a city of Newton Fire Department vehicle. Vehicle 1 described as a 2009 Ford Taurus Sedan (MA Municipal Fire Reg 64260) was backing southbound on Fairway Drive when it struck Vehicle 2 which was unoccupied and parked in the southbound lane of Fairway Drive. Due to the force of the impact Vehicle 1 sustained minor damage to the drivers side rear quarter panel and Vehicle 2 sustained minor damage to the drivers side rear quarter panel. The operator of Vehicle 1 stated he was backing up due to a large commercial motor vehicle trailer which was parked and obstructing traffic in the northbound lane of Fairway Drive.

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.

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.

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.
