Narrative:
On Sunday 6/12/22 at approximately 1333 hours while assigned to marked unit n498 I was dispatched to the area of 832 Dedham Street for a report of a 2 car motor vehicle crash with no injuries. Upon arrival I spoke with the operator, GERSHON Andrew, of motor vehicle #1 (6HS292). GERSHON states he was traveling Westbound on Dedham Street toward Brookline Street when he approached the driveway at 832 Dedham Street and motor vehicle #2 started to pull out in front of him. GERSHON states as he saw the vehicle pull out he swerved into oncoming traffic to avoid the collision, however motor vehicle #2 struck the passenger side of his vehicle. After the collision GERSHON attempted to pull back into his lane of travel, but lost control causing him to overcorrect and go off the road on the westbound side of the road in front of 824 Dedham Street causing some damage to the front landscaping of the yard. Secondly, I spoke with the operator, JIN Zhien, of motor vehicle #2 (EV87SA). JIN states she was attempting to pull out of the driveway of 832 Dedham Street and didn't see motor vehicle #1. JIN states she was distracted because there was a lot going on inside the car. She stated she was not on her cell phone. Finally I also spoke with a witness, CURTIS Ron, who was travelling in the opposite direction and witnessed the crash. Ron stated he saw motor vehicle #1 travelling straight in the opposite direction on Dedham Street. He saw the Tesla (MV#2) attempting to pull out of the driveway at 832 Dedham Street and drive into the side of MV#1. Ron stated he also observed MV#1 swerve into his lane of traffic trying to avoid the collision and then spinning out into the front of 824 Dedham Street. Taking the witness, operator, and passenger statements into account as well as my observations, I determined the operator, (JIN Zhien) of MV#2 (EV87SA) is at fault for the crash and she has been issued Massachusetts Uniform Citation T2012918 C89 S8 Failure to Yield Right of Way.

Narrative:
Operator of Vehicle 1 states he was travelling Northbound on Ferncroft Rd when the operator became briefly distracted by his phone. Vehicle 1 then struck the curb and a tree on the West side of the road in front of #64 Ferncroft Rd, causing extensive damage to the front of the vehicle and airbag deployment. The operator denied any injuries and declined medical treatment. Vehicle 1 was towed from the scene by Tody's Towing. Newton Fire responded to clean up engine fluids that had leaked on the roadway. The witness who initially reported the crash to 911 stated that she observed the operator of Vehicle 1 pass her location at a higher than reasonable rate of speed and was looking down at his phone. I then issued the operator Mass. Uniform Citation #T1448099 (Written Warning) in hand to the operator's mother as his agent for a violation of C90ss13B Texting While Driving
