Operator stated he was driving west on Charlesbank Rd and was attempting to make a left turn onto St James St when he struck the concrete island barrier that divides east and west traffic to Charelesbank Rd. Operator further stated due to his windshield fogging up from the weather/heavy rain he didn't see the island barrier. This vehicle I found out after the operator left with a LYFT driver was a short time rental from KYLAS Auto body, #819 MAIN St Brockton Ma.

On 7/28/21 I was working N494 when I responded to the 371 Washington St. for a report of a 2 car MVA. Upon arrival I spoke with Sara Toland (the operator of Veh 1).

Toland was transported to NWH by Newton medics and her car was towed by Todys.

On 07/28/21 at 13:39 hours, I (Traffic Unit # 523) responded to 10 Cummings Road for a past hit and run motor vehicle bicyclist crash which occurred approximately twenty minutes prior. Dispatch updated units that the accident occurred at the intersection of Watertown and Walnut Streets and that a white colored SUV left the scene after striking the bicyclist. The white SUV was last seen heading southbound on Walnut Street towards Washington Street. The bicyclist then walked back home to 10 Cummings Road and told her mother about the incident. The mother then notified NPD. Watertown Street and Walnut Street are both public ways maintained by the City of Newton. It is a four way intersection with crosswalks on every side. There are no turn on red signs on every corner of the intersection. The weather at the time was partly cloudy and sunny and the road conditions were dry. On arrival at 10 Cummings Road, I spoke to the mother identified as Vanessa Cruz and her daughter, Angelique Cruz, who was involved in the crash. Fallon Ambulance was already on scene and a patient refusal was signed as Angelique did not have any injuries. I asked Angelique what had occurred and she stated that she left FA Day Middle School at approximately 13:00 hours. It is estimated that the crash took place between 13:10 and 13:20 hours. She was then bicycling down to the intersection of Walnut & Watertown Streets. She says that she pushed the walk signal button to cross the street at the crosswalk to continue southbound on Walnut Street towards Lowell Avenue. Once the cross signal light activated, she bicycled through the crosswalk. At the tail end of the crosswalk, her rear bicycle tire on the right side was struck by a white SUV making a right turn on to Walnut Street from Watertown Street. She was then knocked to the ground where she sustained a scrape mark to her left knee on her sweat pants. The white SUV continued southbound on to Walnut Street without stopping. She feels that the driver might of misjudged taking the right turn and never realized that she struck her. Angelique says she only saw a female operator in the SUV and could not determine the race or age. She also did not observe the registration on the vehicle. She further stated that a female assisted her up from the ground. Once she said she was fine she then proceeded home. No one else phoned 911 regarding the incident. At this point, I asked to see the bicycle which was stored away. The bicycle is a Schwinn Sidewinder 21 speed color black with lime green block style writing for the brand and model on it. Both tires have white reflectors attached to them. I observed no damage to the bicycle. At the time of the crash, Angelique stated she was wearing purple sweat pants, blue sweater, and no bicycle helmet. She was also carrying a black backpack attached to her rear shoulders. I took digital photos of Angelique along with her Schwinn bicycle. After, I went over to the intersection of Watertown and Walnut Streets and took photos of the scene. A canvass was also conducted that produced negative results. I observed no surveillance cameras on the buildings or residences that are near the intersection. At 109 Walnut Street, I spoke to several tenants in the six unit apartment complex and they have no security cameras. 583 Watertown Street has no cameras along with 592 Watertown Street. I also checked near the intersection of Walnut and Washington Streets as the white SUV was last seen heading in that direction. The Trio apartment complex along with other businesses are lined against both streets and have outside security cameras. I spoke to the leasing office and they stated that the cameras do not provide any coverage of the street area.
