On 09/30/2020 I responded to the area of Waverley Ave and Brackett Rd for a single vehicle motor vehicle crash involving a utility pole. Both Waverley Ave and Brackett Rd are public ways in the City of Newton. Vehicle 1 described as a 2011 Kenworth commercial box truck (RI Con Reg 80859). Vehicle 1 was traveling southbound on Waverley Ave when it struck overhanging utility wires (Eversource Pole #44) located over the roadway near the intersection of Brackett Rd. As a result of the impact Vehicle 1 sustained major damage to the roof of the cargo area. The force of the impact caused the utility pole #44 to break in half. It should be noted that at the time of the crash the weather was steady rain with high winds. No injuries were reported on scene. The operator of Vehicle 1 stated that he was traveling southbound on Waverly Ave and did not see the power lines until it was too late. After further investigation it was determined that a tree(private) located on Brackett Rd had come down due to the high winds and landed on power lines. These power lines were also attached to utility pole #44. The force caused the power lines from utility pole #44 to sag over Waverley Ave. As result Vehicle 1 did not have enough clearance under the power lines. Vehicle 1 was towed from the scene by Tody's Towing. Towed MV inventory completed. Due to the live wires in the roadway, Newton Fire responded and secured the scene. Eversource was also notified and responded to the scene. Pictures were taken and submitted to the IT Bureau.

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

On Tuesday, October 6, 2020, I received a call at approximately 2158 hours from Sgt. Devine of the Newton Police Traffic Bureau. Sgt. Devine stated there was a motor vehicle crash with serious injury that had just occurred at the intersection of Crafts Street and Waltham Street in Newton. Sgt. Devine stated that one of the parties involved had suffered life threatening injuries and was transported to Brigham and Women's Hospital. I responded to the scene and conducted an investigation of the crash with the assistance of Sgt. Devine and Captain Boudreau. Upon arrival it was reported to me by officers on scene that a party operating a motorized scooter on Crafts Street (E) had been struck by a 2007 Chrysler Town and Country (MA: 5EE316). The Chrysler was attempting to make a left turn from Crafts Street (W) onto Waltham Street (S). The operator of the motorized scooter, identified as Nadhir Tchikou (DOB: 11/23/1993), had suffered serious injuries to his head and left leg area and was transported to Brigham and Women's Hospital. It was reported to me that Officers Conary, Boyle, and Donovan were the first to arrive at the crash and provided life-saving care to Mr. Tchikou prior to being transported to Brigham and Women's Hospital. Officer Donovan responded to Brigham and Women's to keep us updated on Mr. Tchikou's status. The update provided to me while on scene was that Mr. Tchikou was in critical condition and in surgery. Due to the seriousness of the crash and potential fatal injury, Sgt. Devine contacted the Massachusetts State Police to assist in the investigation. Sgt. Mahoney and Trooper Paul responded as part of the Massachusetts State Police Crash Reconstruction team and conducted a supplemental investigation of the crash (MSP report 2020-CAR-000285). The location where the crash took place is Crafts Street and Waltham Street. Crafts Street and Waltham Street are public ways maintained by the City of Newton. Crafts Street and Waltham Street are municipal roadways that support two way travel for motor vehicles and bicycles with an unprotected median in the middle of both roadways to separate the direction of travel. This intersection was recently re-paved within the last month and has newly painted street markings including crosswalks, dedicated bicycle lanes, and stops lines at the intersections. Crafts Street at this intersection features two travels lanes. I observed the road surface to be dry at the time of my arrival on scene. The north lane in the westbound direction of Crafts Street permits travel straight ahead and also permits motorists/bicyclist to take a right turn onto Harding Street. The south lane in the westbound direction of Crafts Street is a dedicated left turn only lane that coincides with a left turn only arrow on the traffic signal in the middle of the intersection. The opposite side of Crafts Street permits traffic traveling in the eastbound lane to travel straight or take a left turn onto Harding Street from is a single lane travel lane. The area is well lit featuring street lights bright enough to illuminate the intersection for motorist traveling through the area. The weather at the time of the crash appeared to be clear. In the intersection where the crash took place, I observed a large debris field comprised of parts from a 2020 Tao Tao motorized scooter (49CC) and a 2007 Chrysler Town and Country (MA: 5EE316). I observed the motorized scooter (VIN: L9NTCBAG1L1010287) resting on its side facing North in the northbound lane of Crafts Street in the intersection. The motorized scooter has significant damage to its front, right, and left side and was inoperable. The area in the immediate vicinity of the motorized scooter was saturated with gasoline. The rear lights and dash of the motorized scooter were illuminated while I was observing the crash scene. The headlights were not intact due to the impact from the crash and I was unable to determine if they were functioning. The motorized scooter was removed from the roadway by Tody's Towing. The intersection where the crash took place had numerous first responders present immediately after the crash rendering aid to Mr. Tchikou prior to his transport to the hospital. It was reported by officers on scene that some of the items and debris in the intersection had been moved from their initial place of rest after the crash took place. A black MMG helmet was observed resting on the ground outside the debris field from the crash before the westbound left turn only lane of Crafts Street. It is unknown if it was moved from its initial place of rest by a first responder. I observed the strap on the helmet that would be used to secure it to the operator to be in good operable condition. I did not observe it to be defected and the securing feature of the strap was in working order. I did not observe any blood, hair, or other apparent physical evidence inside the helmet that would be consistent with the head injury reported to the operator of the motorized scooter. I observed what appeared to be fresh markings on the front mouth/nose area of the helmet. I observed a white Iphone with a red phone case lying on the roadway a short distance away from the impact area. The Iphone was on and displaying travel directions from the Iphone application Waze. The Iphone and the helmet were seized pending the status of the operator of MV2. A property/evidence form was completed and the Iphone and helmet were secured in property locker number 9. I spoke with the operator of MV1, William Moran (S34946215). Moran stated he was operating his white 2007 Chrysler Town and Country (MA: 5EE316) on Crafts Street (N) as he approached Waltham Street. Moran stated he had a green light and activated his left blinker as he approached the intersection with the intention of taking a left turn onto Waltham Street. Moran stated as he proceeded to take his left turn he saw "orange" and was unable to avoid hitting the object in front of him. Moran stated the object came out of nowhere and he swerved to the left in an attempt to avoid the crash. Moran stated after the collision he accelerated away from the impact area and came to a controlled stop on Waltham Street (S) just past the intersection. Moran stated he exited his vehicle and looked back at the intersection he had just travelled through. Moran stated as he began walking towards the intersection he observed a party laying on the roadway in the intersection. Moran stated the party was not wearing a helmet at this time. Moran also added that he believes the moped involved in the crash did not have its headlights on prior to impact. Moran stayed on scene and cooperated fully with officers during the investigation. A query of Moran's license and registration status through Newton Police Dispatched showed they are both active. I asked Moran if he was using a cell phone, GPS, or any other type of hand held device prior to the crash. Moran stated he was not. I asked Moran if he was distracted by anything either inside the vehicle or something on the roadway prior to the crash. Moran stated he was not. I asked Moran if he was currently impaired in any way that would impede his ability to operate a vehicle safely. Moran stated he was not. I asked Moran if he takes any medications or has a medical condition that would impede his ability to operate a vehicle safely. Moran stated he does not. Moran reported no injuries as a result of the crash. I observed Moran's vehicle at its controlled rest location. The vehicle was parked on Waltham Street (S) in the southbound lane just past the intersection of Crafts Street. The 2007 Chrysler Town and Country (MA: 5EE316) had substantial damage to the front passenger side bumper, hood, fender, windshield, and passenger door area. There was physical evidence of what appeared to be hair, blood, and tissue presumed to be from the operator of MV2 present in the cracked windshield, and on the passenger side door/mirror area. I observed a blue Commonwealth of Massachusetts "R" inspection sticker with a date of 05/28/2020 affixed to the windshield. Moran stated the rejection sticker was a result of an emissions failure. The inspection sticker expires in 2021. I asked Moran if there were any other mechanical issues with the vehicle. Moran stated there were no issues to his knowledge. I observed no objects present inside the vehicle during my investigation that would have potentially impeded the operators ability to see clearly through the windshield. I observed glass debris from the windshield inside the passenger and driver area of the vehicle. There was no air bag deployment inside the vehicle. Subsequent to my investigation, the vehicle was seized pending the status of the operator of MV2. The vehicle was towed from the scene by Tody's towing and secured in the Newton Police Department garage. The vehicle was escorted to the garage by Officer Donovan. A towed motor vehicle form was completed by Officer Donovan and the key for the vehicle was secured in property locker number 9. A property/evidence form was completed. Subsequent to my investigation Moran's black Alcatel cell phone was seized pending the status of the operator of MV2. A property/evidence form was completed and the phone was secured in property locker number 9. Officer Conary stated to me that prior to my arrival on scene she interviewed a witness to the crash and provided me with the following information. Joshua Hamel was operating his vehicle (W) in the right lane of Crafts Street towards Waltham Street. Hamel stated that MV1 (MA: 5EE136) was in the left turn lane on Crafts Street (W) towards Waltham. Hamel stated the scooter was headed eastbound on Crafts Street from Waltham. Hamel stated MV1 began to take a left turn and there was a head on collision with the scooter. Hamel stated he believed the traffic light at the time of the crash was green. On Friday, October 9, 2020, I spoke with Hamel via telephone. Hamel corroberated the statement he gave to Officer Conary. I asked Hamel if he believed the headlights on the motorized scooter were activated at the time of the crash. Hamel stated he believes the headlights on the motorized scooter were on as it approached the intersection but was not postive. On Wednesday, October 7, 2020, I spoke with Mr. Tchikou in his ICU room at Brigham and Women's Hospital. Tchikou's wife, Yami Carrajza, was present in the room while I spoke with him. Tchikou stated he had a significant head injury, injuries to his nasal cavity, his back, and a significant injury to his left leg. I asked Tchikou about his recollection of the crash. Tchikou stated he had just left his friend's home on Hazelhurt Avenue in Newton and was traveling home to Brighton to bring his wife dinner. Tchikou stated he was traveling Eastbound on Crafts Street as he approached the intersection of Crafts Street and Waltham Street. Tchikou stated he had a green light and as he entered the intersection a white vehicle took a turn from the opposite side of the road in front of him. Tchikou stated he does not remember anything after that. I asked Tchikou if he was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash. Tchikou stated he was. I explained to Tchikou that I recovered a white Iphone with a red case at the scene of the crash. Tchikou identified the Iphone as his. I explained that the phone was displaying travel directions when I found it and I asked Tchikou if he was distracted by his phone prior to the crash. Tchikou stated he was not distracted by the phone and the phone was in a holder on the motorized scooter. I asked Tchikou if he remembers if his headlights were activated on his motorized scooter at the time of the crash. Tchikou stated they were on. I asked Tchikou if he could produce paperwork for the motorized scooter to prove he was the owner. Tchikou stated he had recently purchased the scooter and the paperwork for it was at his residence. Tchkou's wife e-mailed me a picture of the Certificate of Origin for the motorized scooter. I asked Tchikou if he could produce a license or permit that would allow him to operate the motorized scooter. Tchikou stated he did not have a Massachusetts license or permit, but had an Algerian license at this residence. I was able to observe a picture of the license on his wife's cell phone. The written text on the license was in Arabic. Tchikou did not have a translation of the license in English and did not possess an International Driver's Permit. As a result of my investigation, Mr. William Moran while operating MV1 (MA: 5EE316) entered the travel lane of MV2 (Tchikou) as he was making a left turn onto Waltham Street from Crafts Street. MV2 had the right of way and MV1 failed to yield to MV2's right of way causing the collision to take place. Moran was advised of my investigation and issued Massachusetts Uniform Citation T0115914 via mail by request for Chapter 90, Section 8 (Fail To Yield To The Right Of Way At An Intersection.) Mr. Nadhir Tchikou operated his motor scooter at the time of the crash without a valid license/permit. Tchikou is also in violation of operation of a motor scooter after dark (prohibited). The crash occurred at 2147 hours. Tchikou will be issued Massachusetts Uniform Citation T0115915 in hand at Brigham and Women's Hospital for Chapter 90, Section 1E (Unlicensed Operation Of A Motor Scooter) and Chapter 90, Section 1E (Operation Of A Motor Scooter After Sunset - Hours Restriction.)

On October 28th, 2020 at approximately 08:13 hours while assigned to N491 I responded to the intersection of Newtonville Ave @ Lewis Terrace for a report of MV crash. On my arrival I located the two involved vehicles on the other side of the intersection on Lewis St. Vehicle #1 a grey 2016 Gray Mazda SUV, Ma reg 7vb971 operator identified as Katherine Anna Erler. She reported that she was stopped S/B on Lewis Terrace @ Newtonville Ave when vehicle #2 drove into the front of her vehicle as he turned left from Newtonville Ave. Vehicle #2 was a Red Grand Jeep Cherokee, Ma reg 1HKT75 operated by Paul Damore.

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

On Tuesday, November 3, 2020, while assigned to Traffic unit 525, I responded to the intersection of Langley Road and Union Street, Newton for a report of a motor vehicle crash with injury.

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

On November 6th, 2020 at approximately 14:20 hours while assigned to N491 I responded to Centre St on the bridge over the Mass pike N/B for a report of a multiple MV crash with possible injuries.

He attempted to avoid hitting the vehicle(#2) now in front of him, by swerving to the right to go onto the sidewalk but he still slammed half his vehicle into the rear passenger side of vehicle #2. I spoke with the operator to vehicle #2 identified as Linda Borque. She stated she was stopped on the bridge N/B near the off ramp to the mass pike(exit17 W/B) when she was rear ended by vehicle #1. The impact forced her M/V into the vehicle stopped in front of her(#3). Operator to vehicle #3 was identified as Sylvie Miskovitch.

Operator of MV1 states that he had just come off the pike and was going to work in Watertown. He said he was in the right lane prior to merging onto the Washington St bridge. Operator of MV2 states he was traveling NB in his lane when MV1 cut into his lane and hit his tow truck.

The OP. of MV#1 states while traveling westbound on Washington Street, he struck a snow pile at the corner of Executive Park Drive and lost control of his vehicle. His vehicle then slid along the curb before coming to a stop. A patient refusal was signed with the Medics. MV1 was towed by Todys.

On 12/10/20 at approximately 13:23 myself along with other Police, Fire and Ambulance units, responded to the intersection of Chestnut St. and Elliot St. for a two vehicle crash. Upon arrival I spoke with the operator of veh#1 who stated she was driving on Elliot St. due West when she proceeded through the intersection and was struck on her passenger side by veh #2. The operators 2 young children were in back of her vehicle in child seats. Her son was behind the passenger and her daughter was behind her. Both front and side airbags were deployed in veh #1. All three people in the vehicle were taken to Newton-Wellesley Hospital to be checked out as a precaution. The operator stated she had pain in her right wrist. The operator of veh#2 stated he was traveling due South on Chestnut St. when he looked down as he approached the intersection. The operator stated he was prepared to take a right onto Elliot St. but when he looked up he had already entered the intersection and struck veh #1. The air bags went off in veh #2 as the operator had cuts on his left hand . He was checked out by the Medics and signed a patient refusal. The operator of veh #2 had left the scene after I initally spoke with him but while I was attending to the occupants of veh #1. Because of this I was unable to issue him a citation on scene. I mailed him Mass. Citation #T2080850 for Ch 89/ Sec 9 Failure to obey the Red Light. Both vehicles sustained heavy damage and were both towed by Bobby and David from Tody's towing.

The operator of MV1 (Ma reg NETH42) stated she was traveling WB on Beacon Street when she approached the stop light at the intersection of Chestnut Street. Operator of MV1 stated she was stopped waiting for the light to turn when her vehicle was bumped from behind. The operator of MV2 (ma reg 6EGK30) stated to the operator of MV1 that she was sorry but had an appointment to get to. When I arrived on scene only MV1 was still at the intersection. The operator of MV1 got the driver's license information and vehicle information before she left the scene. The operator of MV1 informed me that the operator of MV2 wanted to pay for the damage but was late for an appointment. Medic Two was called to the scene for Operator one and the passenger. Both parties were complaining about minor injuries. Operator 1 stated she had back, head, neck and knee pain. Passenger in MV1 stated he had back pain. Both parties signed a medical release form. The damage to MV1 was minor and only on the rear bumper. Since MV2 was not on scene I was unable to determine the extent of damage or if the driver suffered any injury. I made contact with the owner of the vehicle who stated he let the operator of MV2 borrow his vehicle while he was working on her vehicle. The owner of MV2 owns an auto body shop. He provided me with the driver's telephone number where I was only able to leave a voicemail. After further investigation I cited (MA Citation T2080370) the operator of MV2 with Newton City Ordinance Failure to use care while stopping. I citation was mailed to the operator.

The operator of MV1, Baruch Ticho, stated that he was traveling Northbound on Waverly Avenue and came to a complete stop at the stop sign before attempting to take a left turn onto Washington Street. Mr. Ticho stated that he did not see the bicyclist at anytime because she was wearing all dark clothes and collided with her while attempting to turn. The bicyclist, Ellen Messing, stated that she was traveling East on Washington Street in the marked bike lane and believed MV1 saw her and was letting her pass. The MV continued on after stopping at the stop sign and t boned her bicycle. Ms. Messing had no visible injuries but stated she had leg pain and was transported to the BI. Ms. Messing's bicycle sustained major damage so I transported it to the station and secured it in support services to be picked up by Ms. Messing. MV1 sustained minor driver side and front bumper damage and was driven from the scene. Officer Stake took photos of the scene which were submitted to IT to be attached to the report.

MV1 was travelling Southbound on Walnut St. when MV1 turned right to travel Westbound onto Austin St. and struck the open driver side door of MV2 with their front passenger side tire. The operator of MV1 and MV2 both stated they were okay and declined to be evaluated by paramedics. MV1 had a flat tire and was towed from the scene by Todys' Towing Service. MV2 was also not able to be driven and was left legally parked in front of 10 Austin St. to be towed at a later time by their insurance. Both operators received a crash report number in regards to the accident.
