crash_reports

On January 1, 2019 at approximately 02:18 hours I, Officer Guarino, responded to 78 Vine St. for a hit and run. I spoke to the operator of MV1, who told me that he was driving Eastbound on Vine St, he turned on his left directional and began to pull into his driveway at 78 Vine St. The operator of MV 2 attempted to pass MV 1 on the left hand side crashing into MV1. MV2 put the vehicle in reverse and left the scene. The operator of MV1 said that the front bumper of MV2 had fallen off in the collision with MA License plate 4KZ917 still attached. The owner of that vehicle lives in Boston, so Boston Police were notified. I attempted to make contact with the owner of MV 2 with negative results. Update January 1, 2019 16:15 hours: I was able to contact the owner of MV2, who admitted that she was the operator of the vehicle and that she was in the vehicle alone. The operator of MV2 said that the operator of MV1 was driving very slow and stopped in the right lane so she attempted to pass the vehicle. MV1 began turning and MV2 struck MV1. The operator of MV 1 said that she was nervous and left the scene because her phone died and attempted to contact the Newton Police in the morning. I am mailing citation T1441275 to Cecelia Spangenberg for MGL90/24C, leaving the scene of property damage. Photographs of the bumper have been submitted to IT to be attached to this report. The license plate was logged into evidence and placed into property and evidence locket #8.

Operator of vehicle one stated that while driving east bound on Crafts St at Albemarle Rd vehicle two darted out into the path of his vehicle from the south bound lane of Albemarle Rd. Operator of vehicle one stated that he attempted to avoid a crash with vehicle two by applying his vehicle's brakes and swerving to his left. Operator of vehicle one stated that his vehicle's front bumbler made contact with vehicle two's front driver's side fender and bumper. Operator of vehicle one stated that he was not injured his vehicle was not towed. Operator of vehicle two stated that he had stopped at the stop sign in the north bound lane of Albemarle Rd at Crafts St. Operator of vehicle two stated that he saw vehicle one driving east bound on Crafts St and he pulled out into the east bound lane of Crafts St in font of vehicle one believing that he had enough time to cross over Crafts St . Operator of vehicle two stated that vehicle one's front bumper struck his vehicle's front driver's side. Operator of vehicle two stated that he was not injured and his vehicle was not towed. Passenger in vehicle two Zbigniew Saletnik stated that he was not injured and had little recollection of the crash. All Streets are public ways in the city of Newton. I issued operator of vehicle two MA Citation T0340520 and cited him for MLG 89/8 , failure to yield. I took photos of the vehicles and crash area, the disk was downloaded by the NPD's IT bureau.

On 01/03/19 at 07:26 hours, I responded to a two car motor vehicle accident at Boylston Street and Ellis Street with one reported minor injury (headache). Operator of MV # 1 states she was exiting the Boylston Street (RT 9EB) off ramp at Ellis Street when she states that she came to a stop for the stop sign. She then inched out and thought it was clear to proceed straight through and struck MV # 2 on both passenger side doors. Operator also stated that she did not think traffic would be allowed to come from the left of her. She was advised that there is a sign below the stop sign that states that the oncoming traffic does not stop. Operator was issued MA Uniform Citation T1441046 for Ch. 89/9 Stop Sign Violation. MV # 1 sustained front end damage to the entire front but was still driveable and the operator reported no injuries. Operator of MV # 2 states she was operating straight through the Boylston Street overpass (SB) on to Ellis Street when she states that MV # 1 never stopped for the stop sign. MV # 1 then proceeded out and struck her vehicle on the passenger side. MV # 2 sustained moderate damage to both passenger side doors and was towed by Tody's towing. The operator complained of a headache but signed a patient refusal with Cataldo Ambulance One.

Operator of MV1 stated he was traveling westbound on Commonwealth Ave. when MV2 pulled onto Commonwealth Ave from Chestnut Terrace onto Comm. Ave. As MV2 was pulling onto Comm. Ave the vehicle struck the driver side front and rear door. The Operator of MV2 stated she was taking a right onto Comm. Ave from Chestnut Terrace and hit MV1 with the front driver side bumper. MV1 had moderate damage to the driver side front and rear door. MV2 had minor damage to the driver side front bumper. Both operators and passengers did not suffer any injuries and both vehicles did not need to be towed. Operator of MV2 was cited for Ch. 90/10 Unlicensed Operation (T1440967), see incident #19000357. The owner of MV2 arrived on scene and drove the vehicle home.

MV1 (MA Reg: 51JD62, 2007 green Toyota Pruis) operated by Marcia Gittes (DOB 11/29/1948) was traveling Southbound on Walnut St when it collided with a pedestrian in the crosswalk at Walnut St/Foster St. MV1 collided with a man, later identified as Jerome Shectman (DOB 10/7/1964). He had an injury to the back of his head, right hand, left shoulder and lower spine and was transported to Beth Israel Hospital. Witness, Patrick Clare-O'Brien saw the crash take place. He stated that the pedestrian, Jerome was crossing in the crosswalk traveling Westbound towards Foster St, successfully passed through the lane where vehicles were traveling Northbound on Walnut St and was then hit by the Toyota Prudish in the lane going Southbound. Jerome was already halfway through the crosswalk at this point. It was dark, but there was a streetlight directly over this crosswalk on Walnut St creating a semi-lit area for visibility. Mrs. Gittes stated that she didn't see him because he was wearing dark clothing and it was dark outside. She saw him when it was too late. There was no damage to her vehicle. Mrs. Gittes was given a monetary citation (T0646789) for 89/11 Crosswalk Violation. pictures were taken at the scene and the photo SD card was sent to IT. Traffic Bureau update (Officer Gaudet): I was asked to follow up with the injured pedestrian involved in this accident, Jerome Schectman (S77606276). Schectman stated he was attempting to cross Walnut Street east to west towards Foster Street. Schectman stated he entered the crosswalk after observing no cars traveling towards him in the Northbound lane of Walnut Street. Schectman stated he began walking across the street and stopped in the middle of Walnut Street after observing 2 vehicles traveling towards him in the Southbound lane. Schectman stated as the first vehicle went by, he stared at it as it traveled past him and down the street. Schectman stated as he looked back at the second car it was traveling right at him and he was unable to get out of the way. Schectman stated the vehicle hit him on his right side. Schectman listed his injuries as follows: fractured vertebrae, laceration to the back of his head, neck pain, and left shoulder/arm pain.

On 01/04/19 I responded outside of #54 Needham St for a two vehicle crash. Veh #1 was a delivery box van who was driving due North on Needham St. The operator of veh #1 stated he was attempting to take a left into #55 Needham St. when veh #2 came from behind him on his left and he struck veh #2 as he turned. The operator of veh # 1 was taken by Ambulance #1 to Newton-Wellesley Hospital for an evaluation after complaining of pain in his chest area. The passenger of veh #1 stated everything happened "so fast" he didn't see what transpired. Moderate damage to veh #1. The operator of veh #2 stated he was traveling due North on Needham St. and was behind veh #1 for a long stretch of the road. The operator of veh # 2 stated veh #1 put his right directional on three different times but didn't turn. He stated veh #1 had his right directional on and was in the right lane when he went to pass him. Veh #1 then turned into his rear passenger side as he passed. Moderate damage to veh # 2. The operator of veh #2 stated the operator of veh #1 was walking around and yelling about the accident for a period of time and then eventually grabbed his chest and fell to the ground complaining of pain. From the result of my investigation it appears as if veh # 1 attempted to turn from the wrong lane and veh # 2 was passing in the "suicide lane", also wrong lane. There will be no citations issued at this time as both operators were given verbal warnings.

On 1/5/19 at 1210hrs I was dispatched to the Pelham St Municipal Lot (public way inviting access maintained by the City of Newton) behind CVS for a report of an MVA involving several vehicles. On arrival, I observed Mv#1 MA Reg 5TWS10 with heavy front end damage wedged in between two other vehicles parked in marked spaces. #1 operator, in the driver's seat, was being evaluated by Medics. #1 was identified as Mary Jane Hymanwegscheider (10/14/38). I first made contact with a witness identified as Sharon Corliss. Ms Corliss stated she was sitting in her parked vehicle and observed Mv#1 backing out of the end spot next to CVS. She explained once #1 had came to a stop from backing, #1 then pulled forward, drove over a curb island and continued driving straight into the two parked vehicles. Ms Corliss stated it appeared #1 was travelling about 5mph preceeding the crash. After the medics intial evaluation of Ms Hymanwegscheider, I was able to ask her what happened? She stated she backed out of her space, hit the curb going forward and then put her foot on the gas instead of the brake before the collision. She was deliberate when speaking and appeared confused. She reported to medics she had no medical history and was not using any medications including allergy medication as well. She reported she did not hit her head after the collision. She was then transported to NWH for further evaluation after medics discovered her blood/sugar readings were very low. I advised Ms Hymanwegscheider her vehicle had heavy damage and was being towed by Tody's and to expect paperwork at the conclusion of the crash investigation. It appeared #1 struck Mv#2 first on its driver's side rear before striking Mv#3 parked next to it on the passenger side rear. #1 wedged itself between #2 and #3, #3 was then pushed to the left into the passenger side of Mv#4. #2 and #3 sustained heavy rear end damage. #4 sustained light damage. #1 towed by Tody's with heavy front end damage. #2 arranged for her own tow through her insurance company. A note was left on #3, and #4 was able to be driven from the scene. Ms Hymanwegscheider is showing no MV infraction/no accident history. Based on the totality of all information received as a result of this investigation, I will be issuing a citation (#T0340410) to Ms Hymanwegscheider for Ch90/Sec24, Negligent Operation.

Veh #1 was stopped on Needham St. at Columbia Ave red light, when veh #2 hit her from behind. Operator of veh #1 complained she hit her head on the back rest and wrist on steering wheel. She was evaluated by Amb #1 but signed a patient refusal and declined to go to the hospital. Minor damage to rear of veh #1. The operator of veh #2 stated he was stopped behind veh #1 at the red light when his foot slipped off. He then struck the gas instead of the brake. The operator was cited in hand Mass# T1441206-Failure to use care in stopping. No visible damage to veh #2.

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

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.

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

On Saturday, January 12th 2019, at approximately 4:12pm, I, Officer Brooks, responded to a single vehicle accident in the area of Cherry street and Derby street, both of which are public ways in the city of Newton. Upon arrival in the area I observed the fire department off with MV1(MA REG 9PAK20), in front of 171 Cherry street. The vehicle had a fire hydrant lodged under the front axle, and front end damage. The fire department was attempting to wake the operator who was unresponsive. The fire department ended up administering 2 doses of Narcan to the operator before he became responsive. The operator was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital by Cataldo for further evaluation. Based on the accident scene, it appears the operator was traveling southbound on Cherry street, crossed over the center line into oncoming traffic, striking the fire hydrant in front of 154 Cherry street, and then crossed back over into the correct lane of traffic before coming to rest in front of 171 Cherry street. The vehicle was towed by Tody's towing, and an inventory form was filled out and filed. The operator was mailed MA Uniform Citations T0648078 and T0648079 charging him with MGL 89/4A Marked Lanes violation, 90/24 OUI Drugs, 90/24(2)(A) Operating to Endanger/Negligent operation, 90/11 No License in Possession, and 90/11 No Registration in Possession. Officer Donahue took pictures of the fire hydrant and crash scene, which have been submitted to the IT Bureau. The fire department was made aware of the broken hydrant.

On the above date/time I responded to Lexington Street / Freeman Street for a two motor vehicle crash with air bag deployment. Upon arrival on scene I checked all parties for injuries. Operator of vehicle one Ms. Farnese complained of head / neck injuries and Fire and Medics responded on scene. All parties in vehicle two did not have any injuries. I spoke with the operator of vehicle one Ms. Farnese in the ambulance she stated she was slowing traveling south on Lexington Street at the intersection of Freeman Street due to the traffic signal for Lexington Street was yellow. She stated as she was slowing she felt a heavy impact from in the rear by vehicle two. I spoke to the operator of two Ms. Heimbrock, she stated she is a pastor for the Salvation Army in New York and she was transporting two children Shamah Lapaix d.o.b. 4-18-14 and Grace Lapaix d.o.b. 1-10-11 to a Christian school in Wayland. She stated that she is staying with the children at 65 Falmouth Road Newton MA with the childrens grandmother due to the fact the parents are in New York doing a continuing education program until Friday January 18, 2019. She stated she is not familiar with the area, she was traveling south on Lexington Street approaching Freeman Street when she glanced at the map on her cell phone. She stated she did not observe the color of the traffic signal and did not observe the rear brake lights in vehicle one. All parties were evaluated in vehilce two by medics with no injury. I spoke with the childrens mother Sarah Lapaix 1-203-685-2809 who confirmed Ms. Heimbrock's statement about the care of the children. I did observe an expired inspection sticker as of 12/18 on vehicle one. Therefore due to operator of vehicle two's statement I checked the rear brake lights. When the brake pedal was pressed the left brake light and top(3rd) brake light was operational but the right rear brake light was not operational. Tody's towing arrived on scene and towed both vehicles top their lot. Ms. Heimbrock made arrangements for transport of herself and the children. Ms. Farnese was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital for non life threatening injuries. I advised all parties of the process and gave them each others information. I checked the traffic signals in the intersection and they were fully functional. Therefore with all the above mentioned I am issuing citations to both parties Operator of vehicle one citation # T1440538 for Chapter 90 Section 20 EXPIRED INSPECTION STICKER $ 55.00 Operator of vehicle two citation # T1440539 for City Ordinance 19-75 FAILURE TO USE CARE IN STOPPING $ 20.00 Both citations were filled out after investigation and will be mailed to their license address.

MA commercial reg M94754 (vehicle #1), a City of Newton pickup/sander truck, was located crashed over the curb in front of 1970 Beacon St. The vehicle was unoccupied, had the keys in the ignition, and was reported stolen just a few minutes prior to discovery. The reporting party of the stolen truck and uninvolved occupant is identified as City DPW worker George Sementelli. The witness/passerby who discovered the collision is also a DPW worker, identified as Donny Brandt. Pursuant to an investigation outlined in incident #19002213, the operator at the time of the crash was determined to be Michael Carter. It is believed that Carter stole the vehicle from 295 Auburn St, fled the area, and ultimately crashed in front of 1970 Beacon St. Corroborating facts outlined in the incident report put Carter as the operator. The vehicle itself was located partially on the sidewalk and partially on the road, therefore Carter is being cited with MGL 89/4A - Marked Lanes Violation (T1268423). Due to the fact it is believed that Carter fled the scene after the crash, MGL 90/24/C - Leaving the Scene of Property Damage was added as well as MGL 90/23/D Operating After a Suspended LIcense, and MGL 90/24/O - Reckless Operation of a Motor Vehicle. The crash occurred during busy weekday commuting about 0.7 miles from Angier Elementary School. The last 3 charges mentioned have been listed on a second citation (T1268422). Officer Brooks also issued T0648082 for OUI Drugs MGL 90/24/G. See the incident report for details about this charge. In total, there are (3) citations issued to Carter. The vehicle sustained heavy front end damage. It should be noted that the utility pole a couple of houses down from the crash site (Beacon/Varick Rd, pole #212) sustained fresh, minor superficial damage, consistent with the vehicle crashing into it before verring onto the sidewalk. Pictures have been taken and submitted to the IT bureau. Tody's responded and towed the vehicle to the police garage for processing due to the pending other criminal charges involved in this accident/incident. Michael Carter was subsequently placed under arrest and his citations have been placed into his property. Carter suffered a hand injury due to the crash an was transported to NWH Hospital for an evaluation after he was booked.

The operator of MV#1 stated that she was waiting to exit NWH at the east exit/entrance. When her light turned green she proceeded to enter Washington St and her MV was struck by MV#2, who was traveling south on Washington St. The operator of MV#2 stated that she was traveling south on Washington St approaching NWH and had a green light to proceed thru the intersection at the east exit/entrance. An independent witness stated that she was in a MV directly behind MV#1 at the east exit when she observed their traffic light turn green and both her and MV#1 proceeded into the intersection. The witness then observed MV#2 traveling south on Washington St enter the intersection crashing into MV#1 while their light was still green. Operator #2 cited for a red light violation.

On 1/19/19 I responded to 25 Normandy Rd for a report of a past hit and run. I spoke with the Operator of MV#1 who stated the accident had taken place in front of Tom's Pizza, 423 Lexington St, at approximately 1830 hrs. Operator of MV#1 stated she parked her vehicle in a parking spot directly in front of the restaurant and went inside. When she returned approximately 5 minutes later she realized her vehicle had been rear ended. Two witnesses provided her with information about the accident and the plate number. (See witness narratives.) MV#1 suffered moderate damage to the rear and was driven from the scene. Waltham PD responded to the address listed for MV#2 and were not able to locate the vehicle. At approximately 2000 hrs, I was contacted at the police station by the owner of MV#2's wife. After further investigation (see incident report #19002425) it was determined that the operator of MV#2 at the time of the accident was the vehicle owner's brother. I spoke with Operator of MV#2 on the phone and he stated that the road was icy and slippery due to snow and he crashed into the back of MV#1. He stated he was nervous and thought he had only hit the sidewalk curb. Operator of MV#2 was issued citation T1440626 by mail for 90/24C Leaving the Scene of Property Damage, 90/10A Unlicensed Operation and 90/24 Use of MV Without Authority. He stated the vehicle suffered minor damage to the front.

MV1 (MA Reg: 63EP17, a 2000 Acura 32TL; operator: Carlos Standford) was traveling NORTH on Cherry St when a vehicle swirved into his lane head-on. In order to avoid MV3 he swirved into the other lane and side-swiped MV2. MV2 (MA Reg: 9JX388, a 2019 Subaru Outback; operator: James Cant) was traveling SOUTH on Cherry St when he had come to a complete stop, put his left turn signal on to show him turning left into his driveway at 176 Cherry St. He was waiting to make his turn until MV1 had driven past so it was safe to do so. As he was at a complete stop, MV1 collided with his rear driver side bumper in an effort to avoid a head on collision with MV3. MV3 (MA Reg: 93YE85; a 1997 Toyota Camry; operator Matthew Kuniholm) was traveling SOUTH on Cherry St when he had seen MV2 at a complete stop with a turn signal. He didn't give himself enough time to stop, began to slide as he was braking and went over the marked lanes into oncoming traffic in an effort to not collide with MV2. MV3 operator, Matthew Kuniholm, was issued in hand MA Uniform Citation T1440470 for Marked Lane Violation 89/9a. All vehicles were still in driveable condition. MV1 had damage to the front driveside wheel fender and driver door. MV2 had slight damage to rear driver side bumper. MV3 did not have damage to his vehicle. Weather was icy and there was an active snow fall during the time of the accident, which was 1815hrs.

On 01/22/19 I responded to a three vehicle crash on Needham St. in front on #241- Marshalls Plaza. The operator of veh #1 stated she was driving due West on Needham St. when she looked right at a car waiting to pull out of the parking lot. When she looked back to Needham St., the traffic was stopped and she hit her brakes and snow slid covered her windshield. Operator of veh #1 never saw the impact, but veh #1 struck stopped veh #2 which was pushed into stopped veh #3. Moderate damage to veh #1 and 2 but no damage at all to veh #3. Operator of veh #2 said she was going "2-3 MPH " when she was pushed into veh #3. Operator of veh #3 claimed she was dizzy from the accident and signed a patient refusal from Ambulance #1. Engine #7 was also on scene assisting. Operator of veh #1 was cited in hand Mass citation #T1441211 for Ch 90/ Sec 13- failure to remove snow from vehicle . All vehicles were driven away from the scene.

Leary was crossing Needham St southbound at the corner of the property between Stop and Shop and Jiffy Lube. She states that she was 1/4 of the way across the street when she was struck by MV1. The left side of her body(arm, hip) struck the right side of the MV. She fell to the ground. MV1 states that he was pulling out of the Stop and Shop driveway to turn right onto Needham St. He saw the pedestrian next to the snow bank on the right side of the driveway as he approached the end of the driveway. When he got to the end he did not see her anymore and assumed she had continued walking west on Needham St. He then turned right and felt the collision and then he saw her. He immediately pulled into the Jiffy Lube lot to check on her. I took pictures of the scene and the MV. They were TOT IT. After further investigation, on 2/7 the operator was cited for 90/14 failure to stop for pedestrian. I spoke with Kenneth via phone and advised him of the update. The citation was mailed to him. I am charging for 90/14 failure to stop for a pedestrian. On Wednesday February 6, the operator information of this report was ammended to show the correct operator information.

On 01/26/19 at 09:58 hours, I responded to a two car motor vehicle accident at Chestnut and Elliot Streets with no reported injuries. Both streets are public ways and maintained by the City of Newton. Operator of M/V # 1 (Quinn) states that she was stopped at the intersection of the above mentioned intersection going (EB) on Elliot Street. Once she received the green light signal she proceeded straight through and was struck by M/V # 2 on her passenger side. The vehicle sustained heavy damage to the passenger side front quarter panel area and it was towed by Tody's towing. Operator of M/V # 2 (Sanaguaray) states that he was operating straight ahead (NB) on Chestnut Street. He states that he thought the signal light was yellow when he proceeded through and does not recall what happened next. The vehicle sustained heavy front end damage and it was towed by Tody's towing. There were two witnesses to the accident. The first one, Karen Cherson, stated that she was traveling behind M/V # 2 when she observed him speeding and run through the red light striking M/V # 1. She said that the light was red by at least two seconds when M/V # 2 went through it. The second witness, John Quackenbush, states he was operating behind M/V # 1 when he observed their travel lane receive the green light signal. M/V # 1 then attempted to proceed through the intersection when it was struck on the passenger side by M/V # 2. Based on the two witness statements, it appears that Sanaguaray (M/V # 2) proceeded straight through the above mentioned intersection against the red light signal and struck M/V # 1.

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.

Operator of vehicle 1 stated she was traveling westbound on Dedham St when vehicle 2 pulled out of Rachel Rd in front of her suddenly causing her to strike the passenger side of vehicle 2. Vehicle 1 then bounced to the right and went head on with a tree. Operator of vehicle 2 stated he stopped for the stop sign on Rachel Rd and was waived out onto Dedham St by another vehicle that was in front of vehicle 1. He then stated he pulled onto Dedham St and was struck by vehicle 1. A witness, Regina King was traveling westbound on Dedham St two car lengths behind vehicle 1 and saw vehicle 2 pull quickly out of Rachel Rd cutting off vehicle 1. King states that she did not see any other vehicle wave vehicle 2 onto Dedham St. I issued the operator of vehicle 2 MA Uniform Citation #T1272285 for 89/9 failure to comply with a stop sign. Vehicle 1 was towed by todys and operator of vehicle 1 was seen by the medics and signed a patient refusal. Vehicle 2 did not require a tow and the operator reported no injuries.

On 01/31/19 at 10:39 hours, I responded to the parking lot of the Jewish Community Center located at 333 Nahanton Street for a motor vehicle hit and run accident. The parking lot is accessible to the public and designed for vehicles to travel to and from the JCC. Owner of M/V 1 states she was parked on the side of the handicapped parking stall thinking it was ok to park there. She then ran in to the JCC for approximately one minute and when she returned she observed her driver's side front door was struck. I observed significant damage to the door frame and the door would not close. The owner called for a private tow to remove the vehicle. The staff at the JCC stated that a Martha Bixby gave her number and stated that she observed a black colored car with MA reg. # 934HH4 strike M/V 1. I attempted to call the number and left a message. The listing for that plate comes back to a 2010 Lexus ES350 color gray. I was then showed the video surveillance from the JCC's cameras and it shows an older white female exiting the lobby wearing a winter hat and carrying a bag with purple flower designs on it. She then walks through the lot and enters a gray Lexus ES350. The Lexus then starts backing out of the spot. The Lexus then continues backwards in to the other side of the parking stalls and strikes M/V 1 on the driver's side front door. The Lexus then pulls forward and leaves the scene without stopping or providing her information. As the Lexus is leaving, you can see there is a dent to the driver's side rear bumper. The video is not clear enough to see the plate on the Lexus or clearly see the operator's face. After, I located a number for the owner of the Lexus M/V 2 (Tania Lefman). I spoke to Lefman on the phone and she stated that she was backing out of the JCC parking lot at that time and felt a tiny bump to her rear end. She says that she could not stop in time due to the icy parking lot and then left the area thinking that nothing was wrong, it was only minor. I advised her there was significant damage to the other car. She was issued and mailed MA Uniform Citation T1441054 for Ch. 90/24/C Leaving the scene of property damage.

FOUND A SECOND NUMBER ( 860-301-1336 ) FOR THE METROWEST PACKAGING COMPANY AND LEFT ANOTHER VOICE MAIL.WILL TRY TO MAKE CONTACT AGAIN BEFORE PURSUING OTHER OPTIONS. Traffic Bureau Update (Officer Gaudet): On Monday, February 4, 2019 I made contact with the President of Metrowest Packaging, Brian Hersh. Hersh stated his company does fulfillment deliveries for Amazon. Hersh was advised that a vehicle registered to his company was allegedly involved in a hit and run accident. Hersh was provided information on the vehicle involved. Hersh stated an employee named Alexis was operating MA CON:T65665 on the date of the accident and provided a phone number for this party. On Tuesday, February 5, 2019 I spoke with Alexis Laporte-Soto (S84358654). Laporte-Soto stated he was operating a 2017 Mercedes Sprint van (MA CON:T65665) in Newton for Metrowest Packaging on the date of the accident. I explained to Laporte-Soto the vehicle he was operating was alleged to have been involved in a hit and run accident on Highland Street in Newton. Highland Street is a public way maintained by the City of Newton. Laporte-Soto stated the vehicle he was operating hit the driver door mirror of a parked card on Highland Street. Laporte-Soto reported the accident as mirror (MV2 passenger side) to mirror (MV1 driver side). Laporte-Soto stated after his passenger side door mirror made contact with MV1's driver side door mirror, he stopped his vehicle 15 feet down the road. Laporte-Soto stated he walked up to the car he hit and saw the mirror was bent back but there was no damage. Laporte-Soto stated he waited near the car for 10 minutes and the owner never showed up. Laporte-Soto also stated a "random guy" took a picture of his license plate. Laporte-Soto stated he said "hi" to this party but the party ignored him and left the area. I asked Laporte-Soto why he did not call Newton Police to assist him in finding the owner of the vehicle he hit. Laporte-Soto stated he didn't know. I also advised Laporte-Soto that the name of the owner of the vehicle he hit was printed on the driver side door next. The owner's phone number and email address were also printed on the driver door. Laporte-Soto stated he didn't see that. I spoke with the owner of MV1, Jason Correria. Correria stated a co-worker observed the entire accident and observed MV2's passenger side mirror hit MV1's driver side mirror. Correria stated his co-worker then observed MV2 travel down Highland Street with out stopping and pull into the Santander parking lot located at 1314 Washington Street. Correria stated his co-worker saw the operator of MV2 exit his vehicle, check his passenger side door mirror for damage, and leave the area. Laporte-Soto will be mailled Massachusetts Uniform Citation T1443121 for Chapter 90, Section 24 (Leaving the scene of property damage).

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

Operator of MV1 was driving westbound on Beacon St in the area of 741 Beacon. Operator of MV1 stated his tire blew out and the car swerved into the side of MV2 and then the rear of MV3 which were both parked legally. Witness 1 stated she heard the crash but did not see the impact. She stated she heard the crashing noise first, and then heard a loud popping noise of the tire blowing out shortly after. Witness 1 identified Cesar Ramirez Rodriguez as the Operator of MV1. Operator of MV1 was uninjured, and the other two vehicles were unoccupied. Todys responded and towed MV1 and MV2. Operator of MV1 was issued, in hand, MA citation T1440439 for 90/23 Operating after suspension and 89/4A marked lanes violation. I was eventually able to locate the owners/drivers of the parked vehicles and they were given the report number. Beacon St is a public way in the City of Newton.

The operator of MV#1 stated that she was traveling south on Chestnut St approaching Prince St when MV#2 pulled out in front of her from Prince St and crash occurred. Operator #1 stated she had no time to stop. The operator of MV#2 stated that he was traveling west on Prince St and had come to a complete stop at the stop sign at Chestnut St, but did not see MV#1 until it was too late and crash occurred. Operator #2 stated the crash was his fault and he was cited.

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

Oper of vehicle # 1 stated that he was traveling EB on Watertown Street and was going through intersection when MV # 2 came into intersection from Pearl Street. Both streets are public ways maintained by the city of Newton. Unsure if it slid on ice or just went through red light. Oper 1 swerved in an attempt to avoid collision but vehicles still collided. Vehicle # 2 immediately left the area. Bumper was hanging off of vehicle # 1. And Oper # 2 stated he had a witness that I was unable to talk too. MV 2 was described as a gray Nissan Pathfinder with RI reg XS837. Dispatch ran XS837 and it came back registered to a gray 2007 Nissan Pathfinder. Due to amount of damage and description given I mailed the owner of MV 2 a citation for Leaving the Scene of Property Damage. No injuries. No tows.

The operator of Vehicle #1 stated that his vehicle was struck from behind by Vehicle #2. Operator #2 then stated, "there is no damage", and left the area. Operator #1 then took down the registration of Vehicle #2, and notified the police. I observed significant fresh damage to the rear bumper of Vehicle #1. Vehicle #2 is registered to a Ms. Jessica Gavell. I was later able to learn that the vehicle was being operated by her cousin, a Mr. Michael Gavell. Mr. Gavell was issued a citation for a violation of M.G.L. Ch.90/24-Leaving the Scene of Property Damage, and Ch.90/23-Operating MV after suspension due to OUI. (See Incident#19005785). None of the parties involved complained of injury, when asked.

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

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.

Oper of veh # 1 and both occupants state that veh # 1 was pulled over to the side of Union Street (public way in city of Newton) waiting as someone was pulling out of a street parking spot when it was hit by veh # 2 who was traveling EB on Union Street. All occupants of the vehicle felt the collision which caused minor damage. They stated the blue Subaru kept going but went around the block and stopped near vehicle to see if there was damage to MV #1, When Oper 2 realized they were taking picture of his vehicle he fled the area without talking to anyone involved. They described Oper #2 as an Asian male, Veh # 2 was registered to an Asian male. Tried contacting owner of veh 2 however listed number was invalid. Citation mailed to Oper # 2 for leaving the scene of property damage.

On 2/25/2019 at approx 1130hrs while assigned to 497 I responded to the intersection of Commonwealth Ave and Chestnut St for a two car crash. Upon arrival I met with the operator of Ma reg RDTAIL ,Steve MCCULLOUGH who stated he was traveling NB on Chestnut St through the green light when he was suddenly struck by the operator of Ma Reg 298CBV George DIARBAKERLY who was travelling EB on Commonwealth Ave. I spoke with DIABAKERLY who initially stated he thought he had the green light but perhaps it changed, than stated maybe he was too far back when he saw the green light. MCCULLOUGH gave me the names of two people who had stopped , Matt DOLITKA 617-719-7621 and Dr J LAUFFLER 617-968-6343. I was able to speak with DOLITKA who stated he was travelling NB on Chestnut ST one car back from MCCULLOUGH, they were traveling through the green light which was solid green, had not just changed, when he saw MCCULLOUGH get hit by DIARBAKERLY at a high rate of speed, DIARBAKERLY struck MCCULLOUGH than bounced off and went up onto the island. DIARBAKERLY issued Mass Uniform Citation T1441861 for violation MGL 89/9 Failure to Stop, Red Light. All parties signed patient refusals with Cataldo. both vehicles towed by Todys.

On Wednesday, February 27, 2019 while assigned to Traffic unit N525, I responded to the area of 843 Beacon Street, Newton for a report of a 2 car motor vehicle accident. Beacon Street is a public way maintained by the City of Newton. I spoke with the operator of MV1, Omer Chaudhry (NY: 122909834). Chaudhry stated he as operating his 2015 blue Mazda 3 (NY Reg: GVJ1096) Eastbound on Beacon Street towards Centre Street. Chaudhry stated he observed MV2 exiting a parking spot on his right. As MV2 attempted to merge into traffic it's front driver side crashed into the passenger side of his vehicle. I observed damage along the passenger side of Chaudhry's vehicle from the rear passenger tire to the front passenger bumper area. Chaudhry reported no injuries at this time. I spoke with the operator of MV2, Elizabeth Libert (S75526057). Libert stated she was attempting to pulled out of a marked parking spot (E) on Beacon Street when the front driver side of her 2017 gray Mercedes E400 (MA: 1YT269) crashed into the passenger side of MV1. I observed damage to the front driver side tire area of MV2. Libert reported no injuries at this time. Libert's vehicle was removed from the roadway by Tody's towing. Libert was cited with Massachusetts Uniform Citation T1269154 for Newton City Ordinance Chapter 19, Section 75 (Failure to Use Care).

On 3/1/19 while working N493, myself and N492 Officer Selig were sent to the area of 1354 Washington St for a motor vehicle accident with reported injuries. On arrival, I spoke to Matthew Digregorio DOB7/2/74 ( hereby referred to as operator #1) who was standing on the sidewalk next to MA reg 134TR9 (vehicle #1 ). Vehicle #1 had significant damage to the front and right quarter panels. It was straddled between the travel lanes and did not have the keys in the ignition. It was immediately apparent that operator #1 suffered an injury to his head, as there was a moderate amount of blood and small pieces of glass stuck in his forehead area. I observed operator #1 to be unsteady on his feet, have bloodshot eyes and slurred speech. I could detect a moderate odor of alchoholic beverage coming from operator #1 as I was approaching him, which was apparent from about an arms length away (it should be noted that medics were already en route to the scene at this time). Prior to the medics arrival, I asked operator #1 for a brief synopsis of what transpired. Operator #1 stated that he had just left Paddy's Pub and was driving westbound on Hunter St (which is approximately 1/8 mile from our location) when he collided head on with vehicle #2. Vehicle #2 was not immediately visible upon police arrival, however was pointed out as being located at the intersection of Hunter and Putnam St. I asked operator #1 where he was heading, as Hunter St is a back road not directly in the vicinity of Paddy's. Operator #1 could not answer the question and also remained silent when I asked him how much alcohol he had consumed this evening. At this time the medics arrived on scene. I asked operator #1 for the car keys to reliquish to the tow truck operator, which is standard operating practice. Operator #1 reached into his pocket and then provided me with the keys. Due to concern over operator #1's obvious head trauma, he was then transported to NWH to be evaluated while the investigation continued on scene. Two other parties approached myself and Officer Selig. One was the operator of vehicle #2, MA reg 1RD999. Operator #2 is identified as Luke Ferdinands DOB 5/11/80. The other party who approached is identified as Douglas Dasilva-Pimenta DOB 6/2/86 (Dasilva-Pimenta will now be referred to as operator #3). Operator #2 states that he was taking a right onto Hunter St from Putnam St, when he observed vehicle #1 on the wrong side of the road approaching him head on. Operator #2 states vehicle #1 then collided head on with him, took a right onto Putnam St, and continued onto the Washington St overpass near 1354 Washington St. Operator #3 states he was inside of #5 Hunter St when he heard a loud crash coming from outside. He looked out the window and saw vehicle #1 traveling at a high rate of speed on Hunter St towards Putnam St. Operator #3 observed damage to the right side of his parked vehicle (now referred to as vehicle #3) MA reg 7CAK80. He immediately got in his vehicle and proceeded to follow vehicle #1, which then crashed into vehicle #2 head on. Operator #1 did not stop until it was obvious that operator #3 was following close behind. This ultimately landed vehicle #1 at it's final location near 1354 Washington St. Vehicle #1 and vehicle #2 were not driveable and were towed to Tody's. It should be noted that there was a passenger in vehicle #2 at the time of the collision. Airbags were deployed and medics checked out both operator and passenger. Both declined transport. The passenger is identified as Elizabeth Ferdinands DOB 5/22/53.Ferdinands' version of events coincide with that of operator #2. Upon speaking with Officer Selig it was learned that operator #1 dropped his cell phone several times as he was holding it on scene. Both Officer Selig and operators #2 and #3 observed this. Operators #2 and #3 both expressed concern over the obvious odor of alcohol eminating from operator #1, and the fact that he was unsteady on his feet. I responded to NWH to follow up with operator #1 however he did not wish to speak further. He did express concern over the well being of all parties involved. Operator #1 was issued in hand the following citations: T1268426 - 90/24 OUI Alcohol, 90/24 Leaving the Scene (property damage, vehicle #2), and 90/24 Leaving the Scene (property damage, vehicle #3). T1268425 - 89/4a Marked Lanes violation. T1269216 - 90/24 Negligent Operation of a M/V (mailed after consultation with superiors) All streets mentioned are public ways in the City of Newton. 1354 Washington St will be the address used on this report and subsequent citations due to multiple locations being involved. Citations and paperwork have been placed in the prosecutor's mailbox. An immediate threat form has been filled out and faxed to Mass DOT. *Attention Police Prosecutor for blood work subpoena, if applicable*

OPER OF MV#1 STATED THAT HE WAS TRAVELLING SB ON CENTRE ST (#855), WHEN HIS VEHICLE LOST TRACTION ON THE SNOW COVERED ROAD, AND SPUN OUT STRIKING A TREE.

On 3/4/19 I responded to the area of Hammond St and Chestnut Hill Rd for a report of a two car MVA. Upon arrival it was determined there were no injuries and the two drivers signed patient refusals with the ambulance. I first spoke with the operator of MV#1 who stated he was driving northbound on Hammond St near the Chestnut Hill T station where it bends and MV#2 was coming southbound and skidded on the snow and came into his lane. I then spoke with the operator of MV#2 who stated he was driving southbound on Hammond St when his vehicle lost control around the turn and drifted into the opposite lane and struck MV#1. I issued the operator of MV#2 MA Citation T1268628 for Chapter 89/4A; Marked Lanes Violation. At the time of this accident there were heavy snow conditions. Tody's Towing responded and towed both vehicles from the scene.

On 3/4/19 at approximately 1630hrs, I responded to the front desk for a report of a past hit and run. Operator#1 stated she was involved in an an accident on 2/27/19 at 1436hrs in front of Mango Thai, 115 Elm St. Operator #1 stated she was stopped waiting for the red light at Elm St and Washington when a "new black or gray SUV" pulled out of a parking spot the right of her. The other vehicle sideswiped her passenger side causing a large scratch. Operator #1i stated she honked and attempted to stop the vehicle but the driver pulled away. Operator #1 was only able to identify the driver as a male but did provide me with a plate of MA Reg 9RM445. The plate comes back leased to a 2018 Gray Jeep Compass registered to a Matthew Veteto. I was unable to find any phone number for Veteto. Operator#1 has already filed a claim with her insurance company who advised her she would need a police report. Due to being unable to verify who was driving, a citation was not issued.

On 3/5/19, I responded to Crafts St at Albemarle Rd for a motor vehicle accident. The operator of MV1 (NJ Reg: K89JJU) stated that she was travelling eastbound on Crafts St when MV2 suddenly attempted to drive across the street in front of her. MV1 stated that she attempted to brake but could not do so in time. The operator of MV2 (NH Reg: 4253062) stated that she was stopped at the stop sign on Albemarle Rd when she looking right and saw MV1 driving down Crafts St. MV1 stated that she thought she had enough time to make it across the street, but did not, resulting in the accident. Both parties declined medical attention. MV1 sustained moderate front end damage. MV2 sustained moderate passengers side damage. Neither vehicle required a tow. MV2 was issues MA Uniform Citation T1272249, c89/9.

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.

Oper # 1 stated she was driving NB on Centre Street and was turning left onto Homer Street. During the turn she was reaching for something in her car and turned into snow bank and struck a city pole with a parking restriction sign on it. Traffic Officer Wade took photos. No tows. No citations

Operator of MV1 states she was traveling eastbound on Washington Street approaching the intersection at Walnut Street. Operator of MV1 states the traffic light was green and when she entered the intersection she was struck by MV2 who was taking a left turn from Washington Street westbound onto Walnut Street southbound. MV1 sustained minor damage to the front right bumper. Operator of MV2 states she was traveling westbound on Washington Street approaching the intersection at Walnut Street. Operator of MV2 states she was in the left turn/straight traffic lane when she attempted to take a left turn onto Walnut Street traveling southbound when MV1 struck MV2 in the right rear corner panel. Operator of MV2 states she didn't have the green arrow light, yet had the steady green traffic light. MV2 sustained damage to the right rear corner panel/tire and needed to be towed. It should be noted when the traffic light turns green facing westbound on Washington Street, it gives drivers in the left turn/straight traffic lane the opportunity to take a left onto Walnut Street or travel straight on Washington Street before traffic can flow on Washington Street eastbound. This is displayed by a green arrow light and steady green light. Due to my investigation, I cited the operator of MV2 in hand Massachusetts Uniform Citation #T1441446 for MGL Ch. 90 Sec. 14 Fail to yield right of way when turning

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

On 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.

Operator of vehicle #1 stated he was travelling Westbound on Crafts St. and stated he became distracted by a noise coming from the left front wheel or axel. Operator #1 stated he took his eyes off the road and drifted to the right striking a utility pole. Operator # 1 had only a Guatemala ID card.

On 03/19/19 at 14:57 hours, I responded to 220 Dedham Street for a past motor vehicle hit and run accident involving a parked car that occurred at 12:26 hours on this date. Dedham Street is a public way maintained by the City of Newton. The owner of M/V # 1 states her vehicle was legally parked in front of 220 Dedham Street facing northbound when she came out and found a note from a witness saying it was struck by a gray Honda Accord bearing MA Reg. # 8512HV. It appears that the operator of M/V # 2 side swiped M/V # 1 as it was passing by on Dedham Street. I observed marks to the driver's side rear door area and the side view mirror was broken. On 03/20/19 at 08:47 hours, I spoke to the witness, Kawtar Bhih, on the phone and she stated that she was parked on the opposite side of where the accident took place. Bhih observed a gray Honda Accord with an elderly female operating M/V # 2 on Dedham Street almost side swiped another parked car before side swiping M/V # 1. She says that the vehicle slowed down after and then continued to leave the scene of the accident. She then took a photo of the above listed registration plate. I attempted to contact the owner of M/V # 2 (Jali Medical Inc Waltham, MA) and the receptionist was not able to provide any information at the time. I was told to call back the next day. I gave the vehicle and registration info to the person inquiring if they could find a possible driver and call back. While working on this report, I observed that the owner of M/V # 2 was involved in a past accident in our system and the operator at the time had an address of 66 Country Club Rd. Newton. On 03/20/19 at approx. 09:30 hours, I went over to this address and observed M/V # 2 in the driveway with an operator inside. After inquiring about the accident, she stated she was driving down Dedham Street when she heard a noise coming from her passenger side view mirror as she had struck something. She then left the scene not thinking it was serious. I observed fresh damage to her passenger side mirror along with other marks along the doors which appeared to be older. Operator was issued in hand MA Uniform Citation # T1441710 for Ch. 90/S24 Leaving the scene of property damage.

On 03/20/19 at 09:43 hours, I responded to the Avalon Apartments at Newton Highlands located at 99 Needham Street for a past hit and run that occurred at the east end garage exit on 03/19/19 at 14:10 hours. I spoke to Senior Community Manager Karen Schueler who showed me video surveillance footage from yesterday's accident. In the video, you can see a blue Subaru Forester attempting to exit the east end of the garage to the property. The operator of the Subaru is identified by Ms. Schueler as a resident of the building as Gertrude Weinstein. After Weinstein scans her garage pass to exit, she then over steers towards the right and strikes the overhead garage door opening device. She then continues to exit the garage scraping the entire passenger side of her car along the device that is attached to the wall. I viewed the garage door and there was significant damage as it became detached from the wall. The door had to be placed out of service. After I spoke to Ms. Weinstein who admitted to striking the side of the garage door but only thought there was damage to her vehicle. No citation issued as the underground garage to the building is private property and not a public way.

MV1 was backing out of her parking spot in the parking lot at 916 Walnut St when she stopped to allow a pedestrian to cross in front of her vehicle. While she was waiting for the pedestrian to cross safely a vehicle backing out of the parking space across from hers backed into her vehicle and left the scene. Operator 1 was able to obtain a photo of the license plate. I then was able to contact operator 2 on the phone who stated she was at 916 Walnut St and "tapped" a vehicle when leaving and then left the scene. No injuries and both vehicle driven from the scene.

No injuries were reported on scene and no tows were needed. On my arrival all parties had exchanged information. After further investigation it was determined the operator of MV2 was driving with a suspended license. I spoke to her via phone and she stated she thought it was cleared up. I advised her that I would be mailing a citation to her (Citation #T1441680) for operating after a suspended license. She was driven away from the scene by a neighbor (Michael Manna, S20209078).

Operator of MV1 states she parked MV1 on Walker Street, while she was visiting a friend and when she came out to her vehicle she found damage to the drivers side door,left front corner panel and left front tire rim. Operator of MV1 states two people witnessed the hit and run who were both on scene. The first witness, Aaron Creecit, was making deliveries for UPS when he saw MV2, which was a motor cycle with a side car attached to it, take a left from Proctor Street onto Walker Street and struck MV1 with the side car portion of the motor cycle and left the scene. The second witness, Jeanette Even, who lives at 30 Walker Street witnessed the hit and run and stated she saw MV2 take a left from Proctor Street onto Walker Street and struck MV1 and left the scene. The first and second witness took down the registration plate (MA Reg: 2H7713) which came back to 27 Brooks Ave. I responded and found the motor cycle in the driveway covered by a blue tarp. I lifted the tarp and found damage on the right side portion of the side car, which would be consistent with the hit and run. I spoke with the operator of MV2, who states the motorcycle is new and she didn't realize she hit MV1. I issued the operator of MV2 in hand Massachusetts Uniform Citation #T1441458 for MGL Ch. 90 Sec. 24 (2) Leaving the scene of property damage (crash)

The owner of MV1 stated that he was working inside Mr. K's Discount Wine and Spirits when a witness came into the store and asked if he owned a white Toyota Camry parked outside and then explained that another car had backed into it and then left the scene. When he came out he observed a large dent in the passengers side rear bumper that was not there before. Officer Selig tracked down the owner of MA Registration 3EF576 at 20 Hale Street and the operator of MV2 admitted to being in the parking lot but denied striking MV1. It should be noted that while at Mr. Wendt's residence both Officer Selig and I observed MA reg 3EF576 parked in driveway of 20 Hale Street with damage to the left rear bumper consistent with how the witnesses stated MV2 struck MV1. Based on the 2 witness statements that express that the operator of the Nissan Pickup knew he struck another vehicle and still left the scene I issued the operator of MV2, Mr. Spencer Wendt, Massachusetts Uniform Citation T1443928, a criminal application to appear in Newton District Court for 90-24 Leaving the Scene of Property Damage. A copy of this report as a well as the criminal application were placed in the court prosecutors mailbox.

On 04/08/2019, at 1620 hrs, I responded to the area of 2040 Commonwealth Ave for a three car MVA with injuries. Upon arrival, I observed all three vehicles facing westbound on Commonwealth Ave. MV1 had heavy front end damage and airbag deployment. MV2 also had heavy front end damage and airbag deployment. MV3 had minor rear end damage. The operator of MV1 was brought to Newton Wellesley Hospital by Cataldo medics. The operator of MV2 stated she was on Pamela Ct attempting to take a left onto Commonwealth Ave. There was heavy traffic headed westbound and a vehicle stopped to let MV2 go. As MV2 was taking a left onto Commonwealth Ave, MV1 was traveling westbound in the eastbound lane around traffic and struck MV2. MV2 then in turn struck MV3s rear end. The operator of MV3 stated that he wasn't sure what occurred because the accident was behind him. The operator of MV1 stated she was traveling westbound on Commonwealth Ave and was planning on taking a left into the Star Market parking lot which was approximately 250 feet down the street. She stated she thought there were two lanes in the westbound direction at that point in the roadway. MV2 then pulled out in front of her and they collided. Two witnesses who were traveling westbound in traffic a few vehicles behind MV3 both stated that MV1 drove erratically into the oncoming lane and around traffic heading westbound. One witness stated "the car was almost completely in the opposite lane" and the other witness agreed. A moment later they stated they heard the crash but did not see it. They also stated that she almost crashed into a car turning eastbound out of the Star Market exit prior to the accident. MV1 and MV2 were towed from the scene by Tody's. The operator of MV2 was brought to Newton Wellesley Hospital by her mother. The operator of MV1 was cited for C90 S23 operating after revoked license, C90 S23 operating after revoked registration, C90 S24 operating to endanger, and C89 S4a marked lanes violation.

On Wednesday, April 10, 2019 while assigned to Traffic unit N525, I responded to the intersection of Centre Street and Wesley Street, Newton for a report of a motor vehicle accident involving a bicycle. It was also reported that the parties involved were arguing with each other. The weather at the time of the accident was cloudy and the road surface was dry. Centre Street and Wesley Street are both public ways maintained by the City of Newton. I spoke with the operator of MV1, Abdulaziz Stewart (S04075169). Stewart stated he was operating his 2017 Toyota Camry (MA: 669FM3) at the time of the accident. Stewart stated he came to a stop on Wesley Street (E) at Centre Street and was attempting to take a left turn onto Centre Street. Stewart stated there were no vehicles in the Southbound lane of Centre Street and there was a vehicle stopped in the Northbound lane of Centre Street motioning to him to take his left turn. Stewart stated as he began to start his left turn, a bicyclist crashed into the front passenger area of his vehicle. Stewart stated the bicycle had been traveling Northbound on Centre Street in the Southbound Lane. Stewart stated after the collision the bicyclist was yelling at him and called him a "Nigger". Stewart and his occupant, Miriam Stewart, reported no injuries. Miriam is a student at Bigelow Middle School. I observed minor damage to the front passenger quarter panel area of MV1. I spoke with the bicyclist involved in the accident, Timothy Murtagh (S49233464). Murtagh stated he was traveling Northbound on Centre Street on his Cannondale bicycle in the Southbound lane. Murtagh was not wearing any safety equipment while operating his bicycle (helmet) and was wearing a dark red jacket. Murtagh stated as he approached Wesley Street, MV1 "jammed on the gas" and hit him in the roadway. Murtagh stated he then fell to the ground and landed in the middle of the street. While speaking with Murtagh I told him it was reported to me by the operator of MV1 that he used a racial slur during their interaction. Murtagh acknowledged that he did and stated, "I called him a nigger". I observed moderate damage to the front wheel/rim of Murtagh's bicycle. Murtagh reported no injuries. Murtagh was advised and issued Massachusetts Uniform Citation T1443441 for Chapter 85, Section 11B (Fail to ride on the correct side of the roadway). Photos were taken at the scene and submitted to the IT Bureau. Due to the language used by Murtagh during his exchange with Stewart, Officer Rosenbaum of the Community Services Bureau was made aware of the incident for follow up.

On 05/04/19 at approximately 09:47 a citizen called in a vehicle that was parked on Elinor Rd near Woodcliff Rd with heavy damage. The anonymous caller stated the car had been parked there for at least 4 hours. Upon arrival Mass Reg #4FJ861 a 2004 Grey Honda Accord was spotted parked crooked in the road with its back bumper missing, bent drivers side rim and flat tire and large dent in the middle of the front bumper. Dispatch was able to get in touch with the vehicle owner Jaleh Jalili who stated her son Pouya Jalili was driving her car last night. While canvassing the neighborhood of Elinor Rd , Sgt. O'Connell was able to find a tire marks on a lawn and a downed "Sharp Bend" sign in front of #273 Dedham St. This crash site is approximately 1/4 mile away from where the parked car was found. I went to #273 Dedham St and witnessed fresh tire marks that went up on the curb onto the lawn of #273 Dedham St, over a vacant sign post hole and then a "Sharp Bend" sign that was half bent and then resting in the South brake down lane of Dedham St.. There was also a plastic black part of a car along with two (2) metal parts to the under side heat shield of an exhaust. The owner of #273 Dedham St was not home so I left a message on his door regarding this incident. Tody's was called and David showed up and towed the car from the scene. Officer Hagopian went to the residence of Pouya Jalili and spoke with him. Pouya told Officer Hagopian that he was involved in a spin out somewhere on Rt 9. in Wellesley and his bumper became detached. He then pulled into the CVS in Newton at #978 Boylston St where he pulled his bumper the rest of the way off. He then told Officer Hagopian that he continued down Rt 9 until he realized his car wouldn't make it any further and that's when he pulled off and parked on Elinor Rd. He then called a friend to pick him up and drive him home. On the way back to the station I stopped by #978 Boylston St with Officer Benes. He found a Grey rear bumper which is believed to belong to Pouya Jalili's car. I called David Donahue (Tow Driver) and asked that he look under the Honda to see if it had its heat shield. Donahue responded back that Mass Reg# 4FJ861 was missing its heat shield. I then drove to #93 Waltham St and spoke with Pouya Jalili with his mother Jaleh present. Pouya restated the same story he told Officer Hagopian and that he never struck anything in Newton nor was he drinking. Pouya said he might have been in a rush because he wanted to get home before his junior operator curfew. After finishing my interview with Pouya, I went to my cruiser and wrote Mass Criminal Citation #T1444231 for Ch 90/ Sec 24-Leaving the Scene of Property Damage (lawn and sign damage), Ch 90 / Sec 24-Operating to Endanger(putting the public at risk by driving up on the sidewalk) and Ch 89/ Sec 4a- Marked Lanes Violation (crossing Dedham St marked double yellow lines) and handed it to Pouya. I took pictures of the scene where the car was found, the crash site at #273 Dedham St and the bumper found at CVS and placed the disk in an envelope. The envelope was t.o.t. our I.T. Bureau for attachment to this report. Jaleh said her son was returning to Alabama tomorrow to finish high school and then he would be attending The University of Alabama in the Fall. I advised Jaleh about the Criminal Application process. As of today 05/04/19, Pouya has an active Massachusetts License and no B.O.P..Wellesley P.D. was notified of this incident in case they came across new damage on Rt 9.

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.

Oper of motorcycle ( Vehicle #1) stated she was traveling WB on Church Street and while going through intersection at Eldridge Street she moved to the right because of on coming vehicle. She underestimated the size of her sidecar on the motorcycle and sideswiped vehicle #2 which was parked on Church Street. A note was left on vehicle # 2 informing her about report. Sidecar wasn't added to diagram because it is not an option. No injuries. No tickets.

On Tuesday May 7th, 2019 at approximately 13:15 hours I responded to the area of 30 Langley Road for an auto vs. pedestrian accident. At the time of the accident the weather was sunny and the road conditions were dry. Langley Road is a public way maintained by the City of Newton. Upon arrival I first spoke to the pedestrian who was inside the ambulance getting medical attention. The pedestrian identified as Donna Kalikow (S24151638) stated she was standing in an open parking space for a few seconds, attempting to walk across the street to enter J.P. Licks. Donna stated she was standing in the marked parking space waiting for traffic to stop to safely cross the street. Donna states the cars stopped to let her cross and she proceeded into the roadway. She states MV1 was attempting to back into the parking space that she was standing in and struck her right side and knocked her to the ground. Donna states the operator of MV1 stopped the vehicle when he realized he had struck her and got out to contact 911. Donna appeared to have minor injuries and complained of head pain. Medics transported Donna to NWH to be further evaluated. The operator of MV1 identified as Christopher Moos (S24090966) stated he was attempting to parallel park into an empty parking space and never saw the pedestrian standing in the space. Christopher stated as he was backing up into the space he was notified by a bystander that he just struck a pedestrian. Christopher stated he immediately stopped the vehicle and got out to assist the pedestrian and contact 911. Christopher stated he was not travelling no more than 5mph at the time of the accident. MV1 did not have any damage to the vehicle and was able to leave the scene. Christopher reported no injuries. Several photographs were taken of the scene and submitted to the IT Bureau. I mailed the operator a Massachussetts Uniform Citation for a City of Newton Ordinance violation for Section 19-75 Failure to use care when backing.

ON THIS DATE I RESPONDED TO 5 MEADOWBROOK RD, FOR A REPORT OF AN AUTO ACCIDENT (SEE INCIDENT REPORT #19018289). THE CALL WAS RECEIVED FROM THE ENVIRONMENTAL POLICE WHO WERE ON-SCENE. ON-SCENE PRIOR TO MY ARRIVAL WERE CAPTAIN DOWLING AND TRAFFIC SERGEANT LEE. CATALDO MEDIC 2 AND AMBULANCE 1 ARRIVED ON-SCENE, SHORTLY AFTER I DID. UPON MY ARRIVAL, I OBSERVED A SILVER HONDA CIVIC WITH HEAVY FRONT END DAMAGE. THE VEHICLE DISPLAYED MASSACHUSETTS REGISTRATION 7ZF784. TWO PEOPLE WERE STANDING BESIDE THE VEHICLE. A MAN AND A WOMEN SAID THEY HAD BEEN IN THE CAR. THE MAN, LATER IDENTIFIED AS BENJAMIN SMALL STATED HE HAD BEEN OPERATING THE VEHICLE. THE WOMAN, LATER IDENTIFIED AS KIMBERLY OAKES, STATED SHE WAS A PASSENGER IN THE VEHICLE. I ASKED THEM IF THEY WERE OK OR NEEDED MEDICAL HELP AND THEY SAID THEY WERE NOT INJURED. THE MEDICS CHECKED OUT MR SMALL ( MEDICS ELISE GADANSKY AND ROBERT ANDERSON) WHICH INCLUDED CHECKING FOR LOW BLOOD SUGAR, DUE TO HIS INABILITY TO SPEAK CLEARLY AND LEGIBLY. HIS BLOOD SUGAR CHECKED OUT FINE. I THEN ASKED MR SMALL WHAT HAD HAPPENED. HE STATED THAT HE WAS TRAVELING WESTBOUND ON DEDHAM ST WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN A WHITE MINI VAN CROSSED OVER THE DOUBLE YELLOW LINE AND WAS HEADING TOWARDS HIM. HE STATED THAT IN ORDER TO AVOID A HEAD ON COLLISION, HE SWERVED RIGHT, OFF THE ROAD AND STRUCK A TELEPHONE POLE (LATER DETERMINED TO BE UTILITY POLE #60 LOCATED IN FRONT OF 556 DEDHAM STREET).

SHE ALSO STATED THAT MR SMALL WAS OPERATING THE VEHICLE WHEN A VEHICLE HAD CUT THEM OFF FORCING THEM OFF THE ROAD INTO THE TELEPHONE POLE. DUE TO THE FACT THAT WE COULD NOT SMELL ANY ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE ON HIS BREATH, CAPTAIN DOWLING REQUESTED THAT A DRUG RECOGNITION EXPERT (DRE) BE CALLED TO THE SCENE. DISPATCH NOTIFIED SURROUNDING CITIES AND TOWNS OF OUR NEED FOR A DRE. NOBODY WAS ABLE TO RESPOND. TRAFFIC OFFICER WADE RESPONDED TO THE SCENE AND PERFORMED A ROADSIDE ASSESSMENT ON MR SMALL.

DURING THE INVENTORY, 9 CVS PAPER PRESCRIPTION PRINTOUTS WERE FOUND. THEY WERE ALL IN MR SMALL'S NAME FOR THE DRUG "ADDERALL" (8) OR "KLONOPIN" (1). ALSO FOUND WAS A SMALL YELLOW PLASTIC PRESCRIPTION TYPE BOTTLE CONTAINING AN UNKNOWN LIQUID. OFFICER WILSON PLACED THE BOTTLE OF UNKNOWN LIQUID INTO A BAG AND HAD IT LATER EXAMINED AT THE NPD STATION BY DET.
