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.

Katerina Iliades stated that on 10/23/2019 at 11:56 hours she was standing in front of the rear driver's side door of her vehicle MA reg 7BM656 2019 Land Rover while it was parked facing north in front of 316 Walnut St. Walnut St is a public way in the city of Newton. Iliades stated that she was placing her daughter Melina Bichelen in her car seat and when she observed MA reg 8EP212 a white Subaru Outback driving north bound on Walnut St near the marked crosswalk at 312 Walnut St. Iliades stated that she observed the Subaru was being operated by an elderly white male. Iliades stated that the she observed the Subaru's front drivers side strike several orange plastic three foot poles that are affixed to the roadway around the crosswalk. Iliades stated that after the Subaru struck the poles at the crosswalk it veered towards her. Iliades stated that she leaned back into the back seat of her vehicle and pulled the door towards herself as the Subaru's passenger side mirror made conact with her vehicle. Iliades stated that the Subaru continued north bound on Walnut St without stopping or slowing. Iliades complained of lower leg pain and refused medical aid or transport to a hospital at the crash scene. I observed no damage or markings on Iliades vehicle. MA reg 8EP212 is registered to Harilaos Papadogiannis ( DOB 01/02/1941 ) of 134 Apt 4 North St , Newton. I went to 134 North St and found MA reg 8EP212 a 2014 Subaru parked in the lot of 134 North St. I observed that the Subaru's passenger side mirror was lose from it's mounting and was turned down and was facing the wrong way. I further observed that the out side casing of the Subaru's mirror had scuff marks consistent with it forcefully making contact with an other object. I spoke with Papadogiannis who stated that he was driving his Subaru north bound on Walnut St at 11:56 hours on 10/23/2019. Papadogiannis stated that he could only recall striking the plastic poles near the crosswalk and nothing else regarding the crash. I as spoke with Papadogiannis he was confused and I had to repeat myself and my questions to him several times. I instructed Papadogiannis what steps he needs to take regarding filing out an operator crash report and contacting his insurance provider , but I believe that he did not fully comprehend what I was conveying to him. Based upon my observations at the crash seen and my conversations with Iliades and Papadogiannis , I believe that Papadogiannis was at fault for the crash. Based upon my observations of Papadogiannis I filed an Immediate Threat Request form and faxed it to the MA RMV Driver Control Unit. Photos of both vehicles were taken and downloaded by the NPD's IT Bureau.

On 11/12/2019 at 12:26 hours, I responded to the Star Market parking lot located at 2040 Commonwealth Avenue for a motor vehicle pedestrian accident. The parking lot is a public/thru way that motorists use to access the Star Market along with other businesses. The weather at the time was cloudy and rainy and the parking lot was saturated. Prior to my arrival, the pedestrian involved left the scene and did not want to speak to the officer nor wanted medical attention. Ofc. Claflin then cancelled Cataldo Ambulance. The pedestrian, Mary Alexander, left her information with a store employee prior to leaving. I spoke to the operator of MV # 1 (Joshua Randel MD Lic.# R534440603244) who stated that he was travelling through the third row of the Star Market parking lot at an appropriate speed. He was then attempting to make a left turn near the entrance/exit of the store. He says that there was a large white van parked in the end handicapped spot towards the left of him. He says the van was sticking out in the spot limiting his visibility. As he was half way through his left turn and coming around the corner, he was not able to see a pedestrian pushing a shopping carriage. He then struck the carriage that was being pushed by Mary Alexander. He further says that the cart jolted Ms. Alexander and she fell down to the ground. At the time, Alexander was walking through the lot near the store entrance heading back towards the parked cars. She was not in the crosswalk at the time which was approximately ten feet down from her location. After, I attempted to go to Ms. Alexander's residence to follow up. I spoke to her friend who was bringing up Alexander's groceries and she stated that she decided to go to Newton Wellesley Hospital for treatment. I then spoke to Ms. Alexander in the lobby of the hospital. She stated that she was exiting the store through the lot with her shopping carriage. She believes she was approximately eight feet away from the door when all of a sudden she only saw red coming at her. She believes MV # 1 was speeding at the time. I asked her if she was struck by the vehicle or was the shopping carriage only struck. She replied that she did not know and only remembers falling to the ground after. She sustained a large bruise to the inside palm area of her right hand and her left knee was swollen. Digital photos of the scene were taken and pictures of Ms. Alexander's injuries were taken at the hospital. As far as possible video surveillance, I was told that the Loss Prevention Department has to access the video. On 11/13/19 at approximately 14:20 hours, I went in to the Star Market and spoke to the manager, Nidal Rajeh, inquiring about possible video surveillance. He said there is coverage in the parking lot and he was able to show me the video. A copy of the video would have to be done by Loss Prevention which I requested. I observed at the 12:12pm mark in the video, MV # 1 was parked five spots up from the third row of the lot that he was exiting. I also observed a white transport van parked in the end handicapped spot mentioned by the operator but it was parked correctly and not limiting visibility. Next, MV # 1 backs out of the spot and drives forward going at a reasonable speed. The pedestrian (Alexander) has already exited the store with her carriage and is walking at an angle toward the same third row of parked cars. As the pedestrian is walking towards the direction of MV # 1, it appears that the pedestrian should be visible to him. MV # 1 then starts to take the left turn around the corner without slowing or stopping and strikes the carriage head on. Due to the impact, Alexander then loses grasp of the carriage and it goes past her twisting her body around. She then hits and rolls up on the hood of the vehicle on her left side. MV # 1 then suddenly stops and immediately gets out and provides assistance to the pedestrian. Due to the video surveillance, Mr. Randel will be issued/mailed MA Uniform Citation # T2012347 for Ch. 90/14/A Failure to slow for a pedestrian.

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

Tchkou's wife e-mailed me a picture of the Certificate of Origin for the motorized scooter. I asked Tchikou if he could produce a license or permit that would allow him to operate the motorized scooter. Tchikou stated he did not have a Massachusetts license or permit, but had an Algerian license at this residence. I was able to observe a picture of the license on his wife's cell phone.

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.

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.

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.

Cheryl stated Benjamin did not suffer any life-threatening injuries and appears to have bumps, bruises, and a cut on his head. I asked if I could speak with Benjamin for his account of what happened at the crash. Benjamin stated he was riding his bicycle on Cherry Street (Southbound) on the sidewalk on the East side of Cherry Street. Benjamin stated he left the sidewalk and entered the intersection to cross Derby Street and continue on Cherry Street. Benjamin acknowledged that at this time Cherry Street had a red light and Derby Street had a green light. Benjamin stated he then crashed into a passing car in the roadway. Benjamin was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash. The helmet had significant damage to it as a result of the collision. I told Benjamin his bicycle was being held at the Newton Police Department for safekeeping and we will arrange to get it back to him. Benjamin is a student at the Franklin Elementary School. I make contact with a witness to the crash, Mr. Benjamin Crosby. Mr. Crosby stated he did not witness the actual crash, just the aftermath. I was able to reviewthe 9-1-1 call Mr. Crosby made regarding the crash in Newton Disptach. Mr. Crosby stated a boy on a bicycle was in a crash with a motor vehicle. Mr. Crosby is heard saying "he went through the light" to the Dispatcher taking the call. After completing my investigation, I have summized the following. The bicyclist (Benjamin Lavoie) traveled down Cherry Street (S) and went through a red light to cross the intersection at Derby Street (W). As a result of traveling through the red light and entering the intersection, he crashed into the front passenger side door area of a passing motorist that had a green light (Erica Pusateri). No citation will be issued as a result of this crash.

On Tuesday, September 28, 2021 while assigned to Traffic unit N525, I responded to the area of Parker Street and Boylston Street for a report of a motor vehicle crash involving a pedestrian. The weather at the time of the crash was overcast. The road surface was dry. Parker Street and Boylston Street are both public ways in the City of Newton. The operator of the vehicle involved was identified as Mr. Viktor Gyuris (S12195708). Mr. Gyuris stated he was operating his 2012 Honda Odyssey (MA: 231EG9) on Parker Street (S). Mr. Gyuris stated he had a green light and proceeded to make a left turn on to Boylston Street (W) when a pedestrian walked into the front driver side fender area of his vehicle. Mr. Gyuris stated he observed the pedestrian at the last second and stated she was not in the crosswalk and was talking on her phone. I observed very minor damage to the front driver side fender/hood area above the front driver side tire. Mr. Gyuris reported no injuries. I spoke with the injured pedestrian, Ms. Marine Manukian (S20246517). Ms. Manukian stated she was crossing Boylston Street (W) at Parker Road (N) when she was hit by the front driver side of MV1. Ms. Manukian stated she was on her phone at the time of the crash and does not recall if she had the pedestrian signal to cross. Ms. Manukian reported injuries to her right hand, elbow, and both knees. Ms. Manukian signed a patient refusal with Fallon Medics and was provided a ride away from the area by the operator of MV1.

On Tuesday October 12th at approximately 1252 hours I responded to the intersection of Rowe Street and Wolcott Street for a city vehicle accident involving a pedestrian. At the time of the accident the weather was sunny and the road conditions were dry. Rowe Street and Wolcott Street are both owned and maintained by the City of Newton. Upon arrival I spoke with the operator of the vehicle involved, identified as Parks and Recreation worker John Siratos (S50488498). John stated he was traveling southbound on Rowe Street and was stopped at the stop sign at the intersection of Wolcott Street. John stated he was looking straight ahead towards the direction he was attempting to travel and proceeded into the intersection to cross over Wolcott Street when he struck the pedestrian with his front bumper causing him to fall on the ground. John stated he was only traveling a couple miles per hour as he just accelerated from a stop. John stated he did not see the pedestrian because of the suns glare. I was able to speak to the pedestrian inside the ambulance receiving medical treatment. He was identified as Justin Anderson (S27026247). Justin stated he was jogging westbound on Webster Street and was crossing the intersection of Wolcott Street and Rowe Street, attempting to head westbound on Wolcott Street. Justin stated he was jogging on the sidewalk and entered the crosswalk to cross the street and was struck by the city vehicle in the right leg causing him to fall to the ground. Justin reported a minor thumb injury and a small scrape on his head. Justin stated his temperature was high and he was being transported to NWH by Medics as a precaution. Pictures of the city vehicle and the scene were taken and submitted to the IT Bureau. No damage to the city vehicle was observed or reported.

On 10/13/21 at 08:50 hours, I responded to Washington Street & Brookside Avenue for a motor vehicle accident involving a bicyclist. The weather at the time was clear and sunny (70 degrees) and the road conditions were dry. The accident location is a t type intersection with Brookside Avenue having a stop sign in order to turn onto Washington Street. Washington Street is a four lane road with a painted divider. There is no crosswalk at the intersection as it appears it was recently paved. On arrival, the accident scene was already clear as the bicyclist and his bicycle were waiting on the sidewalk. The motor vehicle involved was parked further back on Brookside Avenue away from the intersection. I spoke to the operator of the motor vehicle identified as Balarama Thavanati. He was operating a 2012 Toyota Camry color white bearing MA reg. # 44VN32. He states that he was operating southbound on Brookside Avenue and stopped at the stop sign at Washington Street. He was attempting to make a left turn onto Washington Street. He states that he inched out after because you can not see the vehicles approaching you. Next, a vehicle stopped on Washington Street to let him out and he thought it was clear never seeing the bicyclist on the right of him. He says the bicyclist approached him very fast and it appeared that he never stopped the bicycle prior to entering the street from the sidewalk. Once he attempted to pull out for the turn he then made contact with the bicycle on the left side. Thavanati pointed to the approximate location where the bicycle came to rest and it appears he was pushed forward approximately three feet from the impact. I observed black scrape marks on the right side of the front bumper which appear to be from the bicycle tires. At this time, the bicyclist, Jacob Harrison, was being tended to by Fallon Medics and Jacob's mother (Juliet Harrison) was already on scene. Jacob stated he was fine but since he was not wearing a helmet and hit his head on the pavement his mother had him transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital by Fallon Ambulance. After, I spoke to Jacob in the emergency room along with his parents. He sustained whiplash to his neck and a scrape to his right inner thigh area. I then asked him what had occurred during the collision. He states he was bicycling on the sidewalk eastbound on Washington Street. He says he stopped at Brookside Avenue and saw the Toyota Camry which was also stopped. He thought it was clear to proceed as if the vehicle was going to stay stopped. He then pedaled into the street and was struck by the Camry on the left side of his body. He fell down and he does not recall what else occurred as the incident happened so fast. The bicycle sustained damage to the front tire rim as it became bent. No other visible damage. At the time, Jacob was wearing black shorts and a white t-shirt with a red picture on it. He was not wearing a helmet and was going against the traffic on Washington Street. On scene there were three witnesses who were walking southbound on Brookside Avenue near Washington Street at the time of the crash. There names were Christine Butera, Marlene Austen, and Marta Travers. All three of them stated that the operator of the Toyota Camry was stopped on Brookside Avenue waiting to make the left turn. He then pulled out and in a split second the bicycle entered the intersection and was struck. They did not have the vantage point to see if the bicyclist ever stopped first before entering the roadway from the sidewalk. Digital photos were taken of the scene.

Mv#1 operator stated she was travelling on Beacon St E/B in the area of #1200 when she stated she briefly looked down to touch a button on her front dash. At that time, #1 rear ended Mv#2 which in turn rear ended Mv#3. #1 operator signed a patient refusal. #1 sustained significant front end damaage and was able to be driven from the scene. #2 operator was slowing to a stop behind #3 when he was rear ended and pushed forward between both Mv's. #2 operator appeared to be significantly shaken up from impact and was transported by medics with unknown or any injuries. #2 sustained heavy rear end and front end damage, towed by Tody's. #3 operator stated he came to a stop on Beacon St E/B to allow a pedestrian to cross in a marked crosswalk when he was rear ended by #2. #3 operator signed a patient refusal. #3 sustained significant rear end damage and was able to be driven from the scene. Pedestrian/witness stated she was crossing in the crosswalk when the collision occurred. Pedestrian was not injured.

Operator of MV1 states he was traveling northbound on Walnut Street and entered the left turn only lane at the intersection of Walnut Street and Beacon Street. Operator of MV1 states while entering the left turn only lane, a pedestrian appeared from behind a car that was in the straight only lane and he struck her at a very low rate of speed with the front end of MV1. Operator of MV1 states the pedestrian said she was fine and kept walking across the street. Operator of MV1 states he pulled into the parking lot of the Walgreen's, got out of his vehicle and attempted to speak with the pedestrian again, which she waved him off stating she was fine and walked away from him. Operator of MV1 at this time left the scene believing the pedestrian was not injured. No damage to MV1. The pedestrian, Elizabeth Kennedy, states she was walking across Walnut Street (not in the crosswalk) when she entered the left turn only lane on Walnut Street and was struck by MV1. Ms. Kennedy states she hit the ground, but got back up and told the operator of MV1 she was fine and he left the scene. Ms. Kennedy complained of knee and elbow pain. Fallon Medics evaluated Ms. Kennedy and she signed a patient refusal, but stated she will have someone transport her to Tuft's medical center.

On 10/19/21 at 08:30 hours, Sgt. Wade notified me that he received an email regarding a motor vehicle accident involving a pedestrian/student that occurred on 10/15/21 between the hours of 08:20am and 08:35am. The crash was never reported by the operator of the vehicle or the student/pedestrian. Approximately two hours later, the student went to the nurse's office seeking assistance for neck pain which is how the school became aware. This crash occurred in the marked crosswalk on Brandeis Road in front of Newton South High School which is located at 139 Brandeis Road. The weather at the time was 63 degrees with mostly cloudy and sunny conditions (wunderground.com). Brandeis Road is a two way roadway divided by an unprotected median that runs east and westbound. In front of the school there is a marked crosswalk in the roadway. There is also a one way driveway near the main entrance of the school with parking stalls and parents can drop their children off there on the right side of the driveway. The driveway then leads back out to Brandeis Road. Right after you exit the lot there is the above mentioned crosswalk to the left of the driveway which is very visible with nothing obstructing your view. On arrival, I spoke to the Dean of the school named Charlie Myette. Mr. Myette brought me to his office and started looking at the school's video surveillance system. He also requested that the student/pedestrian involved to report to his office. The student was identified as Tsukasa Iinishi. I asked Mr. Iinishi what had occurred and he stated that he was walking to school on the morning of 10/15/21. He says that he was wearing a pink hoody sweatshirt with gray shorts. He was walking through the woods which is across the street from the school which exit out to Brandeis Road. He says that he waited at the crosswalk and let two vehicles go westbound by him. He then thought it was clear to proceed and started walking. At the tail end of the crosswalk he was struck by a red colored Toyota Prius which exited left from the driveway and was on the left side of the roadway. He was struck on the left side of his body and he says that he used his left hand to brace himself against the hood and that's when the Prius stopped. He says that the operator of the Prius asked him if he was okay and he replied that he was. He then kept walking toward the school. The operator then continued on it's way without providing any information or notifying us. He described the operator as an Asian female with black hair approximately 40 to 50 yrs in age. During this time, Mr. Myette was able to find surveillance video of the crash. There are two camera angles. One shows the driveway along with the walkway of the school building. The other one shows the same but it also overlooks out in to Brandeis Road. The view of the road is partially blocked from the parked cars in the lot. The video shows a red colored Toyota Prius pull in to the driveway of the school. An Asian female student wearing a white long sleeve shirt with green lettering and dark colored jeans exits the passenger front of the Prius and eventually enters the school. The Prius then pulls out and goes toward the left side of the driveway around other vehicles waiting to exit. At 08:27 hours, the Prius pulls out angling towards the left side of the driveway going around other vehicles waiting to exit. The Prius then exits the lot on the left side (wrong side) of the roadway and makes contact with the pedestrian. In the video you cannot see the front hood area of the car, but you see Iinishi's torso bend towards the vehicle on impact. It shows the Prius stopped there for approximately ten seconds and then it drives away. In the video you are not able to see the registration plate number. Mr. Myette is going to send the photo of the student dropped off in the Prius to his staff to have her identified so I can follow up with the operator. On 10/21/21, I received an email from Mr. Myette stating that some of his staff has not come forward on the identification of the student. He stated that he would now send a message out to a larger group of staff to see if he gets a response. He also attempted to enhance the registration plate using the surveillance software but the plate is still too blurry to make out. On 10/25/21 at approximately 08:40 hours, I went over to Newton South High School to see if I could locate the red Toyota Prius involved in the crash. As I was driving on Olde Field Road approaching Brandeis Road near the school, I observed a red Prius approximately four cars ahead of me in heavy school traffic. Eventually, I observed the Prius pull in to the drop off driveway of the school and drop an Asian female student off. I identified her as the same student that got out of Prius prior to the past accident on 10/15/21. The operator was an Asian female which appeared to be in her late forties. After, the Prius exits the lot on to Brandeis Road and I flagged her down. I had her pull in to the parking lot across the street from the school. I asked her if she was involved in a accident with a student on the morning of 10/15/21 to which she replied that she was. She was identified as Xiaojin Liu through her MA Driver's License # S49033927. She was operating a 2010 Toyota Prius bearing MA reg.# 8JY630. I asked her what occurred and she stated that she was exiting the driveway of the school to turn left on to Brandeis Road. She says that she has a habit to think that no one is ever walking through the crosswalk and thought it was clear to proceed. She turned and then saw the student crossing and attempted to stop but was not able to in time. She then bumped the student with the front of her vehicle. She says that she stopped and asked the student if he was ok several times and he stated that he was. The student then walked away and she says that she did not know what else to do. I advised her that she should of gave her information to the student, notify the school, or call us to which she understood. I issued MA Uniform Citation # 172129AB to Ms. Liu for Ch. 90/24/A Leaving the scene of personal injury. After, I went inside the school and notified Mr. Myette of my findings. I asked him for the surveillance footage as I previously did in person and through email. He stated that he would put the video on a zip drive and notify me.

On 10/21/21 at 15:24 hours, I (Traffic Unit 523) responded to 1479 Washington Street for a motor vehicle accident involving a bicyclist. The weather at the time was seventy three degrees with mostly cloudy skies and some sun(weather.com). The road conditions were dry and Washington Street is a public way maintained by the City of Newton. Washington Street is a two way divided roadway with an unprotected median that runs in a easterly and westerly direction. At this location, there is a marked crosswalk with a walk signal along with traffic signals above in both directions. On arrival, the scene was cleared up and both parties were waiting in the parking lot of the Burke & Blackington Funeral Home at 1479 Washington Street. I spoke to the bicyclist involved who was identified as Rajmattie Thakoordeen. I asked her what occurred and she stated that she was attempting to cross Washington Street in a southerly direction on her electric bicycle. She says that she pushed for the crosswalk signal to activate and once it did she began riding her bicycle when she was suddenly struck by a silver Saab 93. She made it out in to the crosswalk approximately four feet when she was struck by the Saab which was travelling westbound in the right lane of Washington Street. She says that she was struck on the left side of her leg area. She complained of her left leg being sore near her knee area but signed a patient refusal with Fallon Ambulance declining transport. At the time, she was riding a Rad Power Bike Roadrunner 1 Plus that is silver and black in color. It is a Class 2 electric bicycle (750W) that can go up to 20 m.p.h. The only damage it sustained was scrapes to the outside left pedal. Ms. Thakoordeen was wearing black/gray/white pants, yellow reflective jacket, and a black bicycle helmet at the time. Next, I spoke to the operator of the Saab 93 bearing RI registration # FN193. He was identified as Nevan Hanumara with Rhode Island Driver's License # 9960501. He stated that he was travelling westbound on Washington Street in the right travel lane when he came around the curve and noticed the red light signal above in the last second. He says by the time he reacted and attempted to stop he went through the red light and made contact with the bicyclist in the crosswalk. He reported no injuries and no damage to his vehicle. Due to his statement and inattention to the traffic signal, I issued him MA Uniform Citation # 168985AB for Chapter 89/9 Fail to Stop/Yield for the red traffic signal. Digital photos were taken of the scene.

On October 28, 2021 at approximately 18:26 hours I, Officer Guarino, spoke with Craig Gimbrone over the phone, who reported that he was hit by a motor vehicle in the crosswalk at 1221 Centre St between 15:00 and 15:13 hours. Craig said that he was crossing the crosswalk at 1221 Centre St east to west and was struck by a black car traveling southbound in the far right lane of Centre St. Craig said that the vehicle struck him and caused him to fall over, Craig got up and continued to cross the street and enter CVS without speaking with the operator of the vehicle. Craig did not get a license plate, description of the vehicle or the operator. Craig could only recall that the vehicle was a black sedan. Craig was wearing blue jeans and a gray jacket at the time of the collision. Craig said that the crosswalk flashing lights were not activated prior to him crossing the roadway. Crag said that he did not need EMS but was starting to have pain in his right ankle and right shoulder. He emailed me photographs of his ankle which was forwarded to IT to be attached to this report. Craig was given the crash report number for his records.

On 10/30/2021, while assigned to N491, I, Officer Conary, responded to the area of Watertown Street and Bridge Street for a motor vehicle accident involving a motorcycle. Upon arrival, I met with Operator of MV1, who was operating a moped. He explained to me that he was stopped at the stop sign Southbound on Bridge Street, about to make a left onto Watertown Street when he was struck by MV2. Operator of MV2 stated that they were driving Westbound on Watertown Street taking a left turn onto Bridge Street when she heard a bang saw that she hit MV1. I asked Operator of MV2 if they took the turn sharp they stated they didn't think so. I asked Operator of MV1 if they were behind the stop line or after and he stated he thought it was in the middle of the crosswalk. Medics arrived and Operator of MV1 signed a patient refusal. MV2 was able to be driven from scene. There was minor damage to the left front bumper of MV2. There was minor damage to the front of MV1. Operator of MV1 was able to provide a title for the moped that describes it as a scooter. Operator of MV1 did not have a driver's license or a registration for the moped. Operator of MV1 will be charged with MGL 90/10 Unlicensed Operator of a MV and 90/9 Unregistered Motor Vehicle. (See Incident report #21045954)

Operator of vehicle one ( 2019 Honda CRV MA reg 2SAH91 ) Elizabeth Sylvia stated that on 11/16/2021 at 16:56 hours she was driving south bound on Needham St near Charlemont St. Needham St is a public way in the City of Newton. Sylvia stated that as her vehicle slowed to turn left onto Charlemont St it's front driver's side struck a pedestrian in a crosswalk. Sylvia stated that she did not see the pedestrian prior to the crash due to the area not being lit. It should be noted that the over head street light was inoperable, and the cross walk was not illuminated or reflective. The crosswalk sign that was posted before the crosswalk was not reflective. Sylvia stated that she was unaware that a crosswalk was at the crash location. Sylvia was not injured in the crash , and her vehicle had no damage to it. The pedestrian Nivicha Morpeau stated that she was in the crosswalk in front of 241 Needham St when she was stuck by the front driver's side of vehicle one. It should be noted that Morpeau was wearing dark clothing at the time of the crash. Morpeau complained of back pain, but refused medical treatment and transportation to the hospital. Morpeau singed a patient refusal form provide to her by Medics. Based upon statements made to me by Sylvia and Morpeau I issued Sylvia MA Uniform Citation T 2016746 and cited her for a violation of Newton City ordnance 19/116 failure to stop for a pedestrian in a crosswalk. I took photos of vehicle one and the disk was forward to the NPD's IT Bureau for downloading.

On Tuesday, November 23, 2021, while assigned to Traffic unit N525, I was asked to investigate a past hit and run crash involving a City of Newton School Traffic Supervisor. Mr. Mark Dumoulin reported to the Newton Police Traffic Bureau that sometime during his assigned school crossing post on the morning of November 23, 2021, a passing vehicle made contact with his left leg while he was crossing children on Ward Street. I responded to Newton Wellesley Hospital to speak with Mr. Dumoulin. Mr. Dumoulin stated this morning, he was at his assigned school crossing post of Ward Street and Waverly Avenue in his official capacity as a City of Newton School Traffic Supervisor. Mr. Dumoulin stated he was wearing his department issued yellow reflective jacket and his department issued yellow hi-vis gloves. Mr. Dumoulin stated he also had his department issued stop sign with him while performing his duties. Mr. Dumoulin stated at some point during his post (0745-0830 hours), he was attempting to cross two children on Ward Street (S to N). Mr. Dumoulin stated he entered the crosswalk of Ward Street on the NE corner of Ward Street at Waverly Avenue. Mr. Dumoulin stated the pedestrian signal was activated at this time and the intersection traffic signals were all red. Mr. Dumoulin stated while entering the crosswalk, he observed a black Honda sedan traveling on Stuart Road (E) towards the intersection of Ward Street and Waverly Avenue. Mr. Dumoulin stated the license plate had 3 characters on it and believes the first letter may have been "E". Mr. Dumoulin stated the operator was a heavy set female with blonde hair in her 30's or 40's. Mr. Dumoulin stated the operator appeared to speed up towards his location to beat the light turning red. Mr. Dumoulin stated the vehicle then continued through the intersection onto Hammond Street (E), but it did not keep right with the normal flow of traffic and entered the Westbound lane of Hammond Street. Mr. Dumoulin stated he attempted to get the operators attention to stop her from continuing in the wrong lane of Hammond Street. Mr. Dumoulin stated at this time, the vehicle made contact with his left knee area and continued traveling down Hammond Street with out stopping. Mr. Dumoulin stated the children he was crossing were not near the vehicle and they did not see the contact. I asked Mr. Dumoulin if there were any other witnesses in the area. Mr. Dumoulin stated he does not believe there were. Mr. Dumoulin reported this collision to the Newton Police Traffic Bureau at approximately 1030 hours. I asked Mr. Dumoulin why he did not contact us when the incident first took place. Mr. Dumoulin stated he thought his injury was superficial and that he knew we were busy. At this time, Mr. Dumoulin is reporting a left knee injury as a result of the crash. Mr. Dumoulin stated vehicles travel on the wrong side of the medium on Hammond Street all the time and estimates it happens 3 times every school post. Mr. Dumoulin also stated the keep right sign on Hammond Street near the crash site needs to be addressed because some of the letters are peeling. I canvassed the area where the crash occurred for the fleeing vehicle with a negative result. I also covered the afternoon school post (1450-1535 hours) to ask passing students if they witnessed the crash with a negative result. I observed the "Keep Right" sign Mr. Dumoulin made mention of at this location. The sign appears to be in working condition and visible from Stuart Road. I took photos of the intersection where the crash happened and submitted them to the IT Bureau. On November 24, 2021, I covered Mr. Duboulin's school crossing post again for the morning post. While canvassing the area I observed a dark colored Mercedez sedan with a 3 character registration parked on Exmoor Street that resembled the vehicle Mr. Duboulin described as the fleeing vehicle. I attempted to contact the registered owner of this vehicle, Ms. Judtich Zukor. Ms. Zukor stated she could not speak at this moment and asked me to call her back. I will follow up with Ms. Zukor.

On Monday, November 29, 2021 at approximately 1733hrs, MV1 was travelling Eastbound on Beacon St. when he had struck a pedestrian (James Bird) and his dog, who had been crossing Beacon St. Operator of MV1 stated he did not see the pedestrian crossing the street and had stopped when he noticed Mr. Bird and his dog roll off the front driver side, hood of the vehicle. Bird stated that when he was crossing Beacon St. in the crosswalk with his dog he had been struck by a vehicle. I asked if he would like to be evaluated by paramedics, which he replied, "yes."

Fallon Paramedics arrived on scene to evaluate Mr. Bird and decided to transport him to Newton Wellesley Hospital for further evaluation. The operator of MV1 has a license restriction requiring him to wear corrective lenses (Restriction B). I asked the operator of MV1 if he had been wearing his glasses like his license said, which he replied, "no." A witness, Stephanie Meyer, who had been driving behind MV1 stated that MV1 had pulled out of Hancock Ave onto Beacon St., cutting her off and causing her to slam on her breaks. As she traveled behind him heading Eastbound she witnessed him drive all over the road, crossing the yellow solid line and stated that when she saw the vehicle stop she noticed Bird and his dog laying in the middle of the road on the crosswalk. The vehicle of MV1 was towed by Tody's Towing, due to no one being able to pick up his vehicle.

On December 9, 2021, at approximately 1754hrs, while operating cruiser N495, I, Officer Dragone responded to the intersection of Beacon St and Grant Ave for a report of a motor vehicle accident involving a pedestrian. Beacon St and Grant ave are both public ways in the city of Newton. I spoke to a female party, later identified as Jennifer Diamond, who stated she was hit by a vehicle. Ms. Diamond was visibly shaken up but stated she was not injured. She stated that she was walking Eastbound in the crosswalk on Beacon St crossing the intersection of Grant Ave when she was lightly hit on the right side of her body by a motor vehicle, which caused her to fall to the ground.

On 01/27/2022 while working a detail for Feeney Utility Co, Lt Healy called over the air that he had just witnessed a motor vehicle pedestrian accident at his location and that no one was injured. On arrival I spoke to the pedestrian involved, Jinny Lin who stated he was walking northbound on Lowell Ave and was crossing Highland Ave in the marked crosswalk when he was struck by vehicle 1. Lin stated he was more than halfway across the street when he was struck. Lin said he was only bumped by the vehicle and was never knocked over. Lin had already notified his mother, Tina Chan who arrived on scene shortly after. Lin was seen by Fallon medics and signed a patient refusal. I than spoke to the operator of vehicle, Ali Roozbehani1 who stated he was traveling southbound on Lowell Ave and saw that it was blocked off and detoured down Highland Ave due to road construction. Roozbehani said he was slightly blinded due to solar glare as he made a left turn onto Highland Ave and as he did so struck a pedestrian. Roozbehani had no damage to his vehicle and was uninjured. I took several digital images of the scene and submitted them to IT to be attached to this report. Roozbehani was issued MA Uniform Citation #T2016735 for 89/11 pedestrian in a crosswalk.

Operator of vehicle one , Yuan Chen stated that while turning onto the west bound on ramp of RT 9 from the north bound lane of Center St the front driver's side bumper of his 2013 Land Rover SUV struck pedestrian Anastassia Javortchouk on her right side. Chen stated that the roadway was not well lit and he did not see Javortchouk in the marked crosswalk. Chen stated that he was not injured in the crash and his vehicle had no visitable damage. Javortchouk stated that she looked both ways before crossing over the RT 9 west bound on ramp in the marked crosswalk heading north bound. Javortchouk stated that she did not see any vehicles approaching and entered the marked crosswalk. Javortchouk stated that she was struck on her right side by vehicle one. Javortchouk had a visible minor laceration to her right leg. It should be noted that Javortchouk was wearing a black shirt and black shorts at the time of the crash, and I observed the lighting conditions to be low. Per Javortchouk's request she was transported via EMS to Boston Medical Center for treatment. Chen was issued MA Uniform Citation T 2016706 and cited for a violation of MGL 89/11, failure to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk.

On Thursday, February 3, 2022, while assigned to Traffic unit N525, I responded to the area of 281 Beacon Street, Newton for a report of an MVA/Pedestrian crash. The weather at the time of the crash was light rain. The road surface was dry. Beacon Street is a public way maintained by the City of Newton. I spoke with the pedestrian involved in the crash, Ms. Sharon Sabin. Ms. Sabin stated she entered the roadway to cross near 281 Beacon Street (S to N). Ms. Sabin stated she believes she was in the marked crosswalk at this time. Ms. Sabin stated she observed a vehicle to her left stop to let her cross. Ms Sabin stated a the second vehicle (MV1) did not stop and made contact with the tips of her boots. Ms. Sabin was evaluated by Fallon Medics and signed a patient refusal. Ms. Sabin report no injuries. I observed no damage to the boots Ms. Sabin was wearing at the time of the crash. I spoke with the operator of MV1, Ms. Hallie Geller. Ms. Geller stated she was operating her 2014 Toyota Prius (MA: 2AS375) in the area of 281 Beacon Street when a police vehicle with it's emergency lights and siren approached her from behind. Ms. Geller stated as she attempted to pull over to the right side of the road so the cruiser could pass, Ms. Sabin stepped into the crosswalk. Based on my observations, it is unclear if MV1 made contact with Ms. Sabin's toes. Due to the external circumstances of Ms. Geller attempting to pull over so an emergency vehicle could pass, I will not be issuing her a citation for the incident.

I was dispatched to the area of Parker St and Boylston St for the report of a Crosswalk Signal that had been knocked over. Dispatch informed me an anonymous party called in the plate that was located at the scene in front of 255 Parker Street.
