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.

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 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.

On 1/14/2019 at approx 1406Hrs while assigned to 497 I responded to the area of 2150 Washington St for a report of a 2 car collision. Upon arrival I met with the operators of Ma Reg 5NG581 Jeff LONDON and Ma Reg RT35K2 Lori GANS. LONDON was signing a refusal with Cataldo Ambulance and stated he had already exchanged all his information with the other operator. I spoke with GANS who stated LONDON stopped suddenly for a turkey that walked into the roadway, GANS was able to brake but lightly tapped LONDON.

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.

She started and then stopped because it was not safe to proceed when veh #2 struck her from behind. Moderate damage to veh #1. Operator was checked out by Ambulance #1 for a complaint of neck pain and signed a patient refusal.

MV1 stated he was "driving to fast around the corner and hit the pole." MV1 actually hit a curb, took down a street light, went up on the island hitting another street light prior to hitting the curb. The second light he struck fell on MV2. MV1 sustained heavy front end damage and was removed from the scene by Tody's Towing. MV2 stated that MV1 "came flying across the intersection, crashed into 2 poles, one of which hit my car and he crashed over there." I then observed minor damage to MV2, however it did not require a tow. Both parties signed patient refusals with Cataldo Ambulance. Operator of MV1 was arrested and charged with the following: M.G.L. 90/24/J OUI Liquor M.G.L. 90//24/E Negligent Operation M.G.L. 89/4A Marked Lanes Photos of the scene were captured and turned over to the IT Bureau. Daigle Electric notified of the damaged lights.

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 MV1 (ma con T98504) was traveling WB on Washington Street attempting to take a left into 300 Washington Street when his MV was rear ended. Operator of MV stated he was letting a vehicle exit from 300 Washington Street and had come to a complete stop when his vehicle was struck from behind. The operator of MV2 (ma con T12376) stated he was traveling WB on Washington Street and was unable to come to a complete stop before striking the rear of MV1. Air bags were deployed in MV2. The operator of MV2 stated he felt fine. Ambulance two and Ladder 3 were dispatched to the scene to evaluate the operator. Operator of MV2 signed a refusal. The other parties involved were uninjured. Tody's was also called on scene to tow MV2 as it sustained heavy front end damage and was not drive able. MV1 sustained minor damage to rear door and bumper but was able to operator without any issues.

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 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.

Page Davis states that she pulled over to the side of the road on Lowell Ave for an oncoming ambulance. Davis states that she looked in her mirror to enter the traffic lane. Davis saw vehicle #1 a distance back. Davis then went to enter the traffic lane and she was struck in the left rear by vehicle #1. Hanbo Lin was operating vehicle #1. Lin states that he saw vehicle #2 attempt to merge into traffic. Lin went to step on the brake and his vehicle slid into Davis due to the weather/road conditions. No injuries.

On 3/10/2019(cid:31) at approx 1118hrs while assigned to 497 I responded to the intersection of Chestnut St and Amherst Rd for a report of a two car crash. upon arrival both vehicles were up on the curb at the northeast corner of Chestnut St and Amherst Rd. I spoke with the operator of Ma Reg 4BC783, UNSITAHARUTAI,Saifoun who stated she was travelling EB on Chestnut St when the operator of Ma Reg 5ES474, CANJURA, Iris cut across in front of her causing collision. Saifoun stated her father UNSITAHARUTAI, Somchai was in the front passenger seat and now complaining of neck pain. Saifouns mother , UNSITAHARTAI, Saipan was in the rear passenger seat and had no injuries. Please note Saipans only DOB is the year 1952, I added January 1St for report validation purposes.I spoke with Iris who stated she was crossing Chestnut St from Tamworth St to Amherst Rd when she saw Saifoun "going really fast". Iris and Samchai were transported to NWH by Cataldo Ambulance. Todys towed both MVs.

MV1 had just picked up a student at 56 Crescent Ave(at the intersection of Throwbridge). He made the pick up just west of the stop sign. He turned off his illuminated bus stop sign, paused and then began to pull into traffic. MV2 was stopped at the stop sign on Trowbridge st at Crescent St waiting for the bus to turn off the stop sign. When the bus turned it off, it appeared to him that the bus was not pulling into traffic. MV2 began to turn left "very slowly". As he was driving next to the van, the van pulled into traffic and the 2 MVs touched mirrors. There was no damage to either MV. A BLS ambulance was called to the scene because there were three students on board. All parents showed up and signed refusals for their children. Pictures were taken of the two mirrors that had no damage. The following parents showed up on scene to sign refusals for their children: Gareth Gorman for Sophia 617-515-1576 Lori for Harry Melchionno 617-527-7751 Malagros Falu for Nathalie Cedno The students belong to the Oak Hill Middle school and they were notified.

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.

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.

Operator of MV2 stated he observed a vehicle coming down from Lewis Terrace and was concerned they were not gonna stop at the intersection. This distraction caused MV2 to strike MV1 at a slow rate of speed. Both vehicles sustained minor damage and did not require a tow. The passenger and driver of MV1 were observed by the medics. The passenger was transported in the ambulance for undisclosed minor injury. The driver refused to sign the medical release. 5 Photos were taken of both vehicles showing the damage. I put the memory card in an envelope and left it for the I.T. Bureau.

On 07/29/19 at 11:13 hours, I responded to the Dunkin Donuts parking lot located at 138 Needham Street for a three car motor vehicle accident. Operator of MV1 stated at first she could not recall what occurred during the accident due to lightheadedness at the time. After, she then stated after pulling in to the Dunkin Donuts lot she was attempting to back in to a parking spot in the back of the lot. While backing up, she attempted to hit the brake pedal but must have pushed the gas pedal instead. The vehicle then struck parked/unoccupied MV2 and MV2 was then pushed in to parked/unoccupied MV3. The operator was checked out by Cataldo Ambulance and signed a patient refusal. MV1 sustained moderate driver's side rear bumper area damage but it was still driveable. MV2 sustained damage along both sides of the vehicle and a rear broken axle and it was towed by Tody's. MV3 sustained scrapes and dents to the entire driver's side but the vehicle was driveable.

The hood was bent in, the bumper was cracked and hanging, and fluids were leaking from the vehicle's engine. I next observed the damage to the doors on the right side of MV#2. I observed the base of the doors were pressed in, those doors would not open and the tires were grinding against the flared edges of the wheelwells. - There were no injuries reported at the scene, however, both operators were checked by Ambulance 1. Newton Fire responded to scene to contain the Hazmat spill from MV#1. MV#1 was towed from the scene. OpMV#1 was cited (T2015541) for Failure to come to a Complete stop at stop sign. I transported Operator of MV#1 to Tody's towing from the scene.

At approximately 1825HRs on August 06, 2019, I was dispatched to 785 Centre St. (Newton Country Day School) in reference to a motor vehicle vs bicycle crash. Upon arrival, I located both parties on the sidewalk adjacent to the intersection of Centre St. and Colby Rd. The operator of the bicycle was complaining of feeling dizzy, although she stated she did not hit her head, and suffered several abrasions on her left leg and hands; the operator of MV1 stated she was uninjured. The operator of MV1 stated that as she was traveling northbound on Centre St., she attempted to give the operator of the bicycle room, but the bicyclist made an abrupt left hand turn and struck MV1. The operator of the bicycle stated she was traveling northbound on Centre St. in the Bicycle Lane. She then signaled a left hand turn and entered the Motor Vehicle Travel Lane to make a second left hand turn to travel eastbound on Colby Rd. Once she exited the northbound Motor Vehicle Travel Lane on Centre St. and began to cross over the southbound lane, MV 1 crossed over the solid yellow lines onto the southbound side of Centre St. and struck her bicycle. MV1 sustained damage to its right front bumper and I noted red paint transfer of the left side of the front bumper, which the operator of MV1 states was old damage. MV1 also sustained a flat left front tire after contacting the curb. The bicycle sustained damage to both tires and where the rear tire attaches to the frame appeared to be warped. I took several photos of the damage and have submitted them to be attached to this report. The operator of the bicycle was transported to the hospital by Newton Medics and the operator of MV1 signed a patient refusal. Todys Services arrived and took custody of MV1, for which I completed and filled an NPD Towed Motor Vehicle Form. All streets mentioned are public ways in the City of Newton. Due to the potential danger of serious bodily injury caused by the operator of MV1's reckless driving behavior (crossing the solid yellow road divider line and driving on the wrong side of the road against traffic), the actual damage caused (striking and causing the bicycle operator to be transported to the hospital and damage to the bicycle) and that the bicycle operator was clearly visible/in clear contrast with the road (riding a red bicycle and wearing a red shirt) I issued the operator of MV1 MA Criminal citation T1445010, in hand, for violating one count of MGL Ch.90 S. 24 (Operating To Endanger) I cleared without incident. Note: I logged the bicycle into property/evidence for safekeeping, as it could not be taken on the ambulance.

MV1 jumped a curb and collided with a parked vehicle MV2 (a 2004 GMC Yukon, MA Reg: 8EC792) in front of 185 Waltham St. MV1 operator, Angel Gonzales, was unconscious on scene in the driveway of 185 Waltham St. Waltham St is a public way that is owned and maintained by the City of Newton. A passerby, Joseph Anderson saw the aftermath of the crash and called 911. MV2 had damage to its drivers side door and rear side. MV1 was heavily damaged, on its side, and keys were in the ignition.

When Gonazales was in the back of the ambulance, myself and medics smelled an odor of an alcoholic beverage emanating from Gonzales. All first responders thoroughly checked the surrounding area for a helmet but one could not be located. Due to Gonzales' critical condition and urgency to get to the hospital, and ID was not thoroughly looked for on his person. Ofc. Guarino, N491, retrieved an ID from Gonzales upon arrival at Beth Isreal Hospital. Ofc. Stake filled out a towed inventory form. Pictures taken and sent to IT. Sgt.

On 09/04/19 at 08:22 hours, I responded to 1052 Chestnut Street for a three car motor vehicle accident with minor injuries. All four parties involved were shaken up as a result of the accident but signed patient refusals with Cataldo Ambulance One. Operator of MV1 states she was traveling straight ahead (SB) by 1052 Chestnut Street when she observed several vehicles ahead start to proceed through the light. She then heard her phone ring and went to retrieve it by looking down for a second. When looking back up, the traffic directly in front of her did not move yet and she could not stop in time striking MV2 in the rear end. MV2 was then pushed in to MV3. Both MV2 and MV3 were stopped in traffic at the time awaiting to travel through Chestnut Street at Elliot Street. MV1 sustained moderate front end damage to the bumper and grille areas. MV2 sustained heavy rear end bumper and hatch area damage. MV3 sustained minor scratches to the rear bumper. All vehicles were still driveable.

On Tuesday, September 10, 2019 while assigned to Traffic unit N525, I responded to the area of Beacon Street and Roslyn Road, Newton for a report of a motor vehicle/bicycle crash. The weather at the time of the crash was overcast. The road surface was dry. Beacon Street and Roslyn Road are both public ways maintained by the City of Newton. I spoke with the bicyclist involved in the crash, Steven Greenzang (S96615185). Greenzang stated he was traveling Westbound on Beacon Street in the shoulder lane on his black Specialized bicycle. Greenzang had a yellow reflective vest on and was wearing a helmet at this time. Greenzang stated a vehicle in the travel lane to his left drove by him and hit the mirror located on his left handlebar. I observed damage to the mirror. Greenzang report no injuries. I spoke with the operator of MV1, Sarah Bonfanti (S66811372). Bonfanti stated she was parked in front of 1411 Beacon Street waiting to pick up a co-worker that resides at that address. Bonfanti stated a bicycle traveling on the sidewalk to her right crashed into the passenger side door mirror of her 2008 Toyota Scion (MA: 681YH1). Bonfanti stated the bicyclist was acting "crazy" during her interaction with him and he was trying to take her picture. Bonfanti stated she got back into her vehicle and moved up the roadway to wait for police to arrive on scene. I canvassed the area where the accident occurred with Sgt. Dempsey. There was glass from the passenger side mirror of MV1 and Greenzang's bicycle in the main travel lane of the roadway and the shoulder lane where Greenzang stated he was traveling. We also observed a large tree and a telephone pole on the sidewalk next to the roadway where the accident is alleged to have occurred. After speaking with all parties involved, observing the location of the glass in the roadway from the crash, and the location of the tree and telephone pole on the sidewalk where he accident occurred; Greenzang would not have been able to operate his bicycle on the sidewalk and be close enough to the roadway to make contact with MV1. Prior to clearing the accident, I asked Bonfanti if she had any questions and if she wanted to report any injuries. Bonfanti stated she was hit by the bicyclist during her exchange with him and began grabbing her left leg. I asked Bonfanti why she did not inform the officers on scene that she was assaulted. Bonfanti stated she said something to our Dispatch when she called. I asked Bonfanti if her leg was injured. Bonfanti stated I was putting words in her mouth and that she was just scratching her leg. Bonfanti then stated she was hit in the right shoulder. I asked Bonfanti if she would like an ambulance to respond and evaluate her. Bonfanti declined and stated she was more concerned about her mirror. I advised Bonfanti if she wanted to pursue charges against Greenzang she could do so in Newton District Court. I listened to the 9-1-1 recording Bonfanti made in regards to this incident. Bonfanti stated a pedestrian busted out her window. Bonfanti then stated to our dispatcher that the bicyclist lost control of his bicycle and smashed into her car. During her exchange with the our dispatcher, I did not hear Bonfanti say she was physically assaulted by Greenzang.

On 09/12/2019, at 1706 hours, I responded to Crafts St near Central Ave for a two car MVA.

Wes and Luca stated that the unknown female operator checked to see if they were hurt and then left the area heading westbound on Beacon Street. Wes and Luca stated that they both fell to the ground as a result of being hit by the unknown motor vehicle, but only sustained minor injuries. I offered to have an ambulance respond to evaluate Wes and Luca, however, Mrs. Moore and Mrs. Toro declined. I advised the boys and their mothers that I would be documenting this incident with a crash report, and that I would head to the area to see if Bank of America had and cameras facing the crosswalk, so that we could hopefully identify the operator of the unknown motor vehicle.

The road surface was dry and Centre Street is a public way maintained by the City of Newton. Traffic conditions were at a heavy volume and Centre Street was congested at the time. There is no dedicated bicycle lane in this area due to the road being too narrow. I spoke to the bicyclist involved (Unit 2), Michael Hnatko (S10432772). Mr. Hnatko stated he was traveling northbound on Centre Street on the right side of the road on his 20 inch gray Trek bicycle. He further says that he was peddling very fast at the time and must have not been paying attention to MV1 turning right in to parking lot of 1330 Centre Street as he was approaching from behind. As MV1 was turning right, he then struck the passenger side rear quarter panel of the vehicle and fell forward off of his bicycle. He sustained minor injuries such as scrapes to his knuckles on both hands and a small cut to the bridge of his nose. He signed a patient refusal with Cataldo Ambulance.

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.

On 11/27/19 at 12:43 hours, I responded to the Petsmart located at 215 Needham Street for a motor vehicle bicyclist accident. The weather at the time was approximately 50 degrees, cloudy and the road conditions were dry. No injuries reported. Operator of MV # 1 (Barbara Cooper) states she was facing eastbound on Needham Street waiting in the center turn lanes to take a left turn in to the garage of 215 Needham Street.

MV 1 was traveling Westbound on Beacon St when MV 2 pulled out of the driveway of 853 Beacon St and struck his right rear side. MV 2 was traveling Southbound entering traffic from the 853 Beacon St driveway when she struck the right side of MV 1. The operator of MV 2 suffered minor back injury and was transported by Cataldo Ambulance to Newton Wellesley.

Based on observations and statements made, the following occurred. M/V#1 was parked facing south on Chestnut St. awaiting to pull a M/V from an unrelated accident scene, with his yellow hazard light bar activated. A Verizon truck was parked facing north in the northbound lane of Chestnut St. and through traffic was being routed up the westbound side of Amherst St. M/V#2 approached traveling south on Chestnut St., and stopped approx. 100 feet away from M/V#1. It then began to slowly drive up to M/V#1 and attempt to pass between the two parked trucks, at a slow speed, when the right fender of M/V#2 struck the towing rig of M/V#1. The right fender of M/V#2 had damage along the right front wheel well. I was unable to see the extent of the damage to the tow rig. I went to speak to the operator of the M+#2 (who was standing outside to the right of his car) and as I approached him, I observed that he was swaying while standing. I asked the operator (later identified as David Taube-Perrotta) if he was ok, and he only said yeah. I then asked him what had happened, and he just motioned to his car with his right hand. As I stood next to him, I observed his eyes to be glassy and bloodshot. I asked him for his license and registration, and he kept staring towards the car without saying anything. I had to request his license and registration three times before he produced his license from a hip pocket. I then asked again for his registration, and he took approx. five unsteady steps to his passenger side door, opened the door, and almost fell into his car as he bent from the waist. He then stood up, closed the door, and started to return to me, until I told him I needed his registration again. He returned to his door, and again, almost fell into the car as he bent over to open the glove box. As he returned to me he appeared unsteady on his feet. He handed me the registration in a plastic sleeve, and I asked him to remove it from the sleeve. He appeared to have trouble removing the registration. I asked him where he was coming from, he stated that he was coming from Cambridge. I asked where in Cambridge, and he did not reply. I asked him if he had any alcoholic beverages during the evening, he shook his head in an exaggerated manner and stated that he didn't drink tonight. As I spoke more with him, I observed that his speech was slurred. I held my pen up and asked him if he could focus on the tip of pen. Instead of answering he tried to reach out and touch it. I advised him, I just wanted to know if he could focus on it, he stated yes, then raised his finger in an attempt to touch his nose, but instead, touched between his upper lip and nose, then tried to touch the tip of the pen again. I asked him to keep his down, and without moving his head, follow the tip of the pen. As I moved the pen from left to right, he turned his head to follow the pen. I had to remind him several times, to keep his head still, and follow only with his eyes. I asked him if he would be willing to take a field sobriety test, and he declined. I had also observed a small scratch on his forehead, and requested medics to evaluate him. As I took digital pictures of the accident, Taube-Perrotta was seen in the back of a Cataldo Ambulance, while Sgt. Devine observed. When I entered the ambulance, Sgt. Devine informed me that Taube-Perrotta stated that he was at "The Lizzard Lounge" in Cambridge earlier in the evening, and admitted that he had a few drinks. In my presence Taube-Perotta stated that he had two drinks, much earlier in the evening. While in the ambulance, Taube-Perrotta had trouble answering common questions by the medics, such as what his middle name was and where he lived. The operator of M/V#2 was placed under arrest for OUI. (See NPD Incident Report # 19053361)

Sermak stated that he stopped his vehicle and saw a male identified as John Baker laying on his back on the ground. Baker stated that he had step off the side walk in front of 175 Boylston St and was walking to his car when he saw Sermak's vehicle approaching him and realized it was not slowing, Baker sated that the front driver's side of Sermak's vehicle struck his right arm and shoulder causing him to be knocked to the ground on his back. Baker stated that his head struck the ground but he did not lose consciousness. Baker was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital via EMS for treatment. While on scene I observed that the rear passenger side brake light of Sermak's vehicle was out. I issued Sermak MA Citation T 2012527 and cited him for violations of City of Newton City Ordnance 19-75, failure to use care while tuning , and MGL 90/7 , defective lights.

Operator of vehicle one Cataldo Medic Elisle Gedansky stated on 12/24/2019 at 12:55 hours she was driving MA reg AMN 369 a 2016 Ford Ambulance east bound on Myrtle St with it's emergency lights and siren activated responding to a medical call at 52 Myrtle St. Gedansky stated the Newton Fire Eng 2 was parked in front of 52 Myrtle St and that vehicle two Ma reg 9940RB a 2000 VW was parked unoccupied across from 52 Myrtle St. Gedansky stated that she believed that there was enough room to drive between the fire truck and vehicle two.

Owner of vehicle two Aline Elliot of 46 Myrtle St was advised of this incident.

On Friday December 27th, 2019, at approximately 1348hrs, while assigned to N508 to assist with a funeral escort, I was notified by Dispatch that "MC1" was involved in a crash at the Whole Foods parking lot on Washington Street. Upon arrival I found that Newton Police Motorcycle #1 was involved in a crash while helping to assist a funeral that had just left the Our Lady Church property. Police MC #1 is MA MMC7219, a 2016 Harley Davidson motorcycle. The motorcycle was operated by Officer Rocco Marini. MV #2 was also located on scene and parked in the Whole Food parking lot. This vehicle is MA Reg. 7VN155 a 2017 Lexus ES350. This vehicle was operated by Diana Simkin. Officer Marini reported that he was traveling westbound on Washington Street when he was hit by MV #2 that was making a left (opposite direction) into the Whole Foods parking lot. Officer Marini was in the right hand lane escorting the long line of cars that was part of a funeral procession. These vehicles were in left westbound lane. Officer Marini reported he was in the right hand lane and had his emergency lights on when the collision occurred. Officer Marini did not see MV #2 prior to collision. Officer Marini reported that the front of his motorcycle hit the rear passenger side tire of MV #2. Officer Marini was taken from the scene by Ambulance to Newton Wellesley Hospital. I spoke to the operator of MV #2 Diana Simkin. Simkin reported she was traveling east on Washington Street and wanted to make a left into Whole Foods parking lot when the crash occurred. Simkin reported she was waved into the lot by an unknown motor vehicle headed in the opposite direction. Simkin was not sure which lane this person waved from. Simkin made the left into the lot and was not aware of the crash or did she see MC 1 until she was stuck in traffic in the parking lot and some woman knocked on her window. Simkin reported that she never saw an police emergency flashing lights either. There was minimal damage to Simkin's vehicle. There was scuff marks on the passenger rear tire. Simkin also did not report any injuries. MC #1 sustained some front damage to the wheel fender fairing. The motorcycle was taken from the scene by Tody's. Pictures were taken on scene by Officer McSweeney and given to IT for downloading purposes. While on scene Officer McSweeney and myself went to New England Diamond and Jewelry at 660 Washington Street. We met the owners Dave and Robert Alpert (617-243-0099) who reported that they have video of the collision. In the video I observed at 1346hrs the funeral begin to pass the Whole Foods entrance. At 1348hrs the video shows MV #2 come up in the easttbound lane and stop. The vehicle stops and waits until an unknown white SUV stops to allow MV #2 to make a left turn into the lot. Once this unknown SUV stops, the video shows that MV #2 makes the left and hits MC #1 as he is traveling straight ahead with his emergency lights on. It appears from the video that MC #1 had no warning and could not brake his motorcycle. The video shows a long line of cars in this funeral procession with their emergency flashing lights on. Due to the angle of the video and vehicles I am unable to tell if this SUV had their flashing lights on. The video was sent to Director Smith in IT for downloading purposes. I went to Newton Wellesley Hospital and spoke with Officer Marini. He was reporting soreness to his left elbow. Officer Marini was released from the Hospital and taken back to the station at about 1500hrs. Based on the facts of the investigation, I have issued MA Uniform Citation T0340444 to Diana Simkin for violating 89/8: failure to yield the right of way and for violating 89/7A: interference with an emergency vehicle. Simkin was notified of this citation via telephone at 1730hrs on this day and this citation was mailed to her address. Washington Street is a public way in the City of Newton.

On 12/30/19 I responded to a single vehicle crash on Dedham St. outside of #268. The operator stated she was traveling due North on Dedham St at 25mph when she lost control of her vehicle due to icy conditions. Tracing back the vehicles tires marks in the slush, the car appeared to cross the double yellow lines near Brush Hill Rd and then back to the correct lane sideways before striking the curb, then a city tree in front of #268 Dedham St. There were multiple air bag deployments in the vehicle. Ambulance #1 arrived on scene and transported the operator due to a complaint of right chest pain from the seatbelt. N523 Traffic Officer Wilson arrived on scene and took pictures of the damage to the city tree. The vehicle was towed by Tody's Towing and the operator was mailed Mass. citation # T2013422 for Ch90/sec17-Speeding (too fast for conditions).

On 02/26/2020 I responded to the area of Eastbourne Rd and Ireland Rd for a motor vehicle crash involving a pedestrian. Eastbourne RD is a public way which runs from Ward St north bound intersecting with Ireland Rd on the far north end. Ireland RD is a public way which runs west to east. Both the east end and the west end of Ireland Rd are dead ends. The crash occured on Ireland Rd's east end near the intersection of Eastbourne Rd. The crash involved Vehicle 1 described as a 2016 Acura SUV color grey bearing MA passenger registration 3RB127. Vehicle 1 had a valid inspection sticker which expires on 08/30/2020. Vehicle 1 was operated by its owner identified as Barbara Ball. Ball has an active MA Operators License (S18727836). The involved pedestrian was identified as Bruce Terrio. Terrio is an employee of Feeney Brothers Utility Services. Feeney Brothers Utility Services is a contractor of National Grid Gas Company. Upon arrival I observed the following: The crash occurred in the daylight hours around 10:30am on Ireland Rd near the intersection of Eastbourne Rd. At the time of the crash the weather conditions were clear, 48 degrees Fahrenheit and overcast skies (weather.gov). The area where the crash occurred was an active construction site for Feeney Brothers Utility Services. The area of the crash is a dead end. The area is accessed from Ward St from either Eastbourne Rd or Coolidge Rd. The entrances of both Eastbourne Rd and Coolidge Rd had construction signs indicating utility work in the area. At the time of the crash, all roadways were open to vehicle traffic. On the eastbound side of Eastbourne Rd just prior to the intersection of Ireland Rd, I observed a large air compressor which was parked in the roadway facing south bound. No traffic cones were located near the air compressor. To the right of the air compressor were thick green bushes. A wooden fence was located to the right side of the green bushes. On the east side of Ireland Rd I observed a large excavated hole on the right side of the roadway. The hole was near the intersection of Eastbourne Rd and was located approximately three feet from the curb. I observed four traffic cones, two on the front side and two on the left side of the hole. Located on the front edge of the hole was a tire print. Vehicle 1 was located on the west end of Ireland Rd. The front passenger tire of Vehicle 1 had fresh dirt located on the sidewalls and the tire tread. Vehicle 1 appeared to have no visible damage. The pedestrian (Terrio) was being treated by EMS and Fire for injuries. Terrio was wearing brown pants and a green reflective safety vest. I spoke with the operator of Vehicle 1 Barbara Ball. Ball stated that she was operating Vehicle 1 northbound on Eastbourne Rd near the intersection of Ireland Rd. Ball stated that she made a right turn onto Ireland Rd and drove on to the edge of the excavated hole. Ball stated that her vehicle then made impact with Terrio who was in the hole. Ball stated that she immediately stopped, backed out of the hole and called 911. Ball stated that prior to making a right turn onto Ireland Rd, there were no traffic cones in the roadway or next to the hole. Ball stated that as she made the right turn onto Ireland Rd she did not observe Terrio or the hole until it was too late. Ball states that she resides at 80 Eastbourne Rd which is the residence located to the immediate right of the crash location. Ball states that she had been recently parking on Ireland Rd due to ongoing construction at her residence. Ball states that she was traveling at a slow speed prior to impact. At the time of the crash there were three other Feeney Brothers employees working at the site. These workers were identified as Steven Gamble, Mike Cabrinma and Gerard McComaskey. At the time of the crash all three workers were located further up Eastbourne Rd near the intersection of Coolidge Rd and did not observe the crash. At the time of the crash, Newton Police Sergeant Glenn Chisholm was working a paid detail for Feeney Brothers. Sergeant Chisholm stated that he did not observe the crash.Terrio was transported by Cataldo EMS for minor injuries. Several photos were taken of the scene. Photos were taken of the hole with traffic cones and without traffic cones. All photo's were submitted to the IT Bureau. After clearing the scene, I responded to St Elizabeth's Hospital in Brighton, MA to interview Terrio. Terrio stated that at the time of the crash he was standing in the hole on Ireland Rd performing gas utility work. Terrio stated that the front passenger side bumper of Vehicle 1 struck him in the right shoulder. Terrio stated that the impact caused him to lose his balance and fall down in the hole. Terrio states that after falling down he was able to climb out of the hole without assistance. Terrio stated that at the time of impact he was wearing a white hard hat which he thinks struck the pavement on the edge of the hole. Terrio states that at the time of the crash he was working alone in the hole. Terrio states that at the time of the crash traffic cones were located near the hole. Terrio stated that as a result of the impact he sustained minor injuries to his right shoulder and back. I then observed Terrio's hard hat which appeared to have a fresh scrape mark on the top. The hard hat also had broken interior straps. Terrio stated that the straps broke when he was struck by Vehicle 1. Photos were taken of the hard hat and were submitted to the IT Bureau. After reviewing all facts of this incident, Vehicle 1 appeared to have been traveling at a slow speed prior to the crash. This was evident due to the lack of tire skid marks prior to the tire print on the edge of the hole. It also appears that Ball's view of the hole and Terrio may have been obstructed by the parked air compressor on Eastbourne Rd. The thick green bushes and a wooden fence to the right of the air compressor also added to the obstructed view. The hole was also located in close proximity to the air compressor which reduced Vehicle 1's reaction time. Jeff Oliver of OSHA was also notified of this incident. Photographs of the scene were provided to Oliver.

On 09/21/20 at 14:46 hours, I (Traffic Unit # 523) responded to the parking lot of 88 Chestnut Street for a motor vehicle accident involving a pedestrian. The weather at the time was 60 degrees ( localconditions.com) and the sky was clear and sunny. The road surface was dry. The parking lot is a thru way that the public use to enter/exit the lot or park there. On arrival at the same time with the Fire and Medics, I observed a female laying in the middle of the lot facing down on her back. A small red and gray CVS like type shopping carriage was knocked over and resting on it's side in front of the victim's head. The carriage was moved to the side in order to tend to the victim I also observed a black Honda Civic bearing MA reg.# 3741TW that was involved in the accident. The Honda was out of the parking spot resting approximately two feet away from the pedestrian's legs. I then spoke to the pedestrian identified as Darla Gipson in the rear of the ambulance. She sustained an abrasion to her front left shoulder and arm area which I observed. She also complained of left knee and elbow pain. She stated that she walking through the middle of the parking lot pushing the carriage by the door entrance in a westerly direction towards Chestnut Street. She states that she never saw a vehicle backing up and then she was suddenly struck and believes she was pushed underneath the vehicle. She was then transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital by Cataldo Ambulance. I then spoke to the operator of the Honda Civic identified as Linda Burke (MA S70320414). Ms. Burke was parked in the first spot to the right of the walkway that leads to the entrance/exit doorway. I asked her what occurred and she stated that she was backing her vehicle up to exit the parking lot when she looked behind her not seeing anything in sight. She then started backing up and struck the pedestrian without realizing it. She says the driver of a green cab and his female customer who were no longer on scene were yelling at her to stop her vehicle because the pedestrian was underneath it. She then stopped her vehicle. I observed minor scrapes to the entire rear bumper of the vehicle so it is unknown where it actually struck the pedestrian/carriage. I observed no obvious signs of damage to the carriage. It should be noted that Ms. Burke's Honda does not have a back up camera or back up sensors. There are no surveillance cameras to the apartment complex and no witnesses came forward for the accident. As a result of the investigation, Ms. Burke will be issued Uniform Citation # T1271069 for Newton City Ordinance 19-75 Failure To Use Care in Backing. Digital photos were taken by me of the scene.

On Monday September 21st, 2020 while in N526 I responded to Newton Fire Station #2 located at 1750 Commonwealth Ave for a past accident involving Newton Fire Ladder #1 and a Cataldo Ambulance.

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

On 10/25/2020 at approximately 0330 hours, I responded to 173 Grant Ave for a report of a vehicle into the residence. Upon arrival, the operator of the vehicle was out of her vehicle and speaking with the medics. She stated is that she was driving southbound on Grant Ave when a car swerved at her causing her to swerve. As I was speaking with her, I smelt a strong odor of alcohol and she was slurring her speech. She was brought into the ambulance due to her possible head injuries. She was transported to Newton Wellesley for an evaluation. The residence had structural damage to front window and the door frame. The vehicle was removed and towed by Todys and a towed motor vehicle form was filled out and filed.

I did not speak with the operator because she was immediately put into the ambulance when I arrived. The operator did not appear to have any serious injuries and walked to the ambulance from her MV. Appears that MV#1 was traveling north on Seminary Ave when it veered to the left and struck the curb and then a light pole on the side of the roadway. MV was parked in a safe spot on Lasell property as it had only minor damage.

MV1, operator:Oscar Benavidez was driving Eastbound on Beacon St and was attempting to turn right on to Chestnut St when he struck a bicyclist.

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

MV1 stated she was turning left onto JFK Cir and "did not see" the 2 pedestrians subsequently striking them.
