Narrative:
On 01/31/19 at 08:56 hours, I responded to Dedham and Walnut Streets for a two car motor vehicle accident with no injuries. Operator of M/V 1 states he was stopped for the stop sign facing northbound on Dedham St towards Walnut St. He then proceeded straight through and observed M/V 2 coming at him so he tried to speed up but M/V 2 ended up striking him on the driver's side rear quarter panel area. He did state that M/V 2 did stop for the stop sign after him but did not understand why they were attempting to come through the intersection. The vehicle sustained minor damage to the driver's side rear quarter panel area and had a flat tire. The operator waited for Triple AAA for the flat. Operator of M/V 2 states she was stopped at the stop sign facing eastbound on Dedham St attempting to take a left turn on to Walnut St. Due to the bright sun and glare, she did not observe M/V 1 coming through the intersection and struck him. The vehicle sustained front end damage to the grille and bumper but the vehicle was still driveable. At the time, I did observe the sun to be blinding at the accident location and there was a lot of glare.

Narrative:
MV1 was traveling east on Madison Ave from Walnut St approaching #80. There were 2 landscape vehicles parked on left side of the street. The operator, Sarah Ruth Loper-Sengupta, stated that she never saw the pedestrian that was in the roadway (N) due to solar glare. Loper-Sengupta stated she heard a thump coming from the passenger side of her vehicle. Loper-Sengupta stated she looked over to her right and saw a trash barrel in the air. Loper-Sengupta stated she then saw a male party lying on the roadway on her passenger side. Immediately after striking the pedestrian, Loper-Sengupta, stopped to check on him. There was a golden doodle dog in the back seat of the MV at the time of the accident, unrestrained. There were no obstructions hanging from the mirror or windshield area. The front drivers visor was down. There was no airbag deployment. I observed significat damage to the front passenger side windshield area. There was also damage to the front passenger side hood area. See Sgt. Lee update for victim statement Numerous pictures were taken by Ofc. Gaudet of the MV and scene. They were TOT IT. The MV was towed by Tody's due to its shattered windshield. No citation will be issued to Loper-Sengupta. The solar glare caused her to not able to see the pedestrian. The Sgt. and I dont believe the pedestrian looked before crossing with the barell on his left shoulder because he would have been able to see the MV coming as this is straight away section of Madison Ave. It should be noted, that when I arrived on scene I immediately noticed the seolar glare as I walked east on Madison Ave.

Narrative:
The operator of MV#1 stated he was travelling eastbound on Commonwealth Ave making a left turn onto Morton St when he was struck by MV#2. The operator of MV#1 stated he was unsure of where MV#2 came from. There was a strong solar glare facing westbound on Commonwealth Ave during this accident. MV#1 sustained heavy driver's side front end damages. Both front airbags were deployed. The operator of MV#1 stated he was not injured. The front passenger of MV#1 was not injured and had already left the scene to attend school. The driver's side rear passenger sustained a bleeding nose from this accident. She was unsure what caused her injuries because it happened too quickly. She was evluated by Newton Paramedics and signed a patient refusal of treatment. The initial point of impact for both vehicles was in the middle intersection of Commonwealth Ave at Morton St. There were broken vehicle parts and tire skid marks starting from the point of impact and onto the berm on Commonwealth Ave on the carriage lane side. MV#2's final resting spot was directly accross from 808 Commonwealth Ave. MV#2 sustained heavy front end damages to its driver's side wheel (Broken axle) and flat front right side tire. MV#2's driver's side airbag was deployed. The operator of MV#2 was transported by Newton Paramedics to the Boston Medical Center. I spoke to the operator of MV#2 via telephone and she stated she was travelling westbound on Commonwealth Ave when she was struck by MV#1 and caused her swerve onto the carriage lane berm. The operator of MV#1 is 6.5 months into her pregnancy and sustained neck, back, bruises and left hand injuries. She was transported to Boston Medical Center and was later discharged the same day. She was provided with this accident report number and was advised to contact her insurance provider. I spoke to the witness who was at the intersection of Cedar St and Commonwealth Ave. The witness stated MV#1 was travelling eastbound on Commonwealth Ave and had stopped, attempting to make a left turn onto Morton St. The witness stated she then observed MV#2 travelling westbound on Commonwealth Ave and struck MV#1. The witness stated she believed MV#2 was travelling at a high rate of speed because it continued to travel onto the berm after striking MV#1. I took digital photographs of the damaged berm on Commonwealth Ave. Based on the statements made to me, I issued in hand to the operator of MV#1 citation #T1268357 for violation of c89 s8 failure to yield when turning left. Both vehicles were towed by "Tody's Towing".

Narrative:
Operator of vehicle one ( 2016 Infinity MA reg 3YD266 ) Miram Qualter, stated on 11/05/2020 at 10:28 hours while driving south bound on Waverley Ave near the intersection of Tremont St " the light was turning " as her vehicle entered the intersection. Both Tremont St and Waverly Ave are public ways in the City of Newton. Qualter stated that she was driving into solar glare and did not see any traffic in the intersection as she proceeded into it. Qualter stated that she believed that she still had the right of way and that traffic on Tremont St had a red light. Qualter stated that she did not see vehicle two until the time of impact . Qualter stated that she was not injured in the crash. Qualter's vehicle had major damage to the front driver's side windshield and front driver's side quarter panel. Operator of vehicle two Keith Ward stated that he was riding his Itraxx Cruze motor scooter west bound on Tremont St near Waverley Ave on 11/05/2020 at 10:28 hours. Ward stated that west bound traffic had a green light and he proceeded into the intersection. Ward stated that as he was approximately halfway into the intersection when vehicle one crashed into the right front of his vehicle. Ward stated that he was ejected from his motorcycle and onto the hood of vehicle one. Ward was wearing a helmet and his head had contact with vehicle one's driver side windshield causing substantial damage. Ward was evaluated by Newton Medic Unit 3 and refused medical treatment. Ward signed a patient refusal form provided by the medics. Ward had visible head lacerations that caused minor blood loss. Witness Jose David stated that he was riding on a motor scooter behind Ward. David stated that west bond traffic on Tremont St had a green light and that vehicle one did not stop at a red light. Based upon statements made to me and my observations of the involved vehicles, I issued Qualter MA Citation T2016100 and cited her for a violation of MGL 89/9 , failure to stop at a red light. I took photos of both vehicles and the disk was downloaded by the NPD's IT Bureau. Both vehicles were towed by Tody's Towing, and I filled out towed motor vehicle forms. During my investigation of this crash I discovered that the motor scooter that Ward was operating is classified as a motorcycle, because it's cylinder capacity exceeded 50cc. Ward's vehicle speedometer indicted that it's top speed was 50 MPH, and it's VIN tag stated it was a motorcycle. I observed that there was no license plate on Ward's vehicle and he stated to me that it was unregistered. A check of the MA RMV had no record of Ward's vehicle and also revealed that Ward's driver's license was suspended on 12/04/2018. It was also revealed from a of the MA RMV data base that witness Jose David's driver's license statue is expired non renewable as of 01/23/2017. David stated to me that he did not have a driver's license. I also discovered that David's motor scooter was classified as a motorcycle, because as with Ward's vehicle it also had a cylinder capacity exceeding 50cc. David stated to me that his vehicle was unregistered. I issued David MA Criminal Application T2015901 and cited him for violations of MGLs 90/10, operation of a motor vehicle with out a license, 90/34j uninsured motor vehicle and 90/9 , unregistered motor vehicle. I issued Ward MA Criminal Application T2015902 and cited him for violations of MGLs 90/23 , operating a motor vehicle after suspension, 90/34j, uninsured motor vehicle and 90/9 unregistered motor vehicle. I filled out an Operating After Suspension Affidavit and faxed it to the MA RMV Driver Control Unit.

Packman stated that there was a solar glare as she turned left. Packman stated that she did not see the bicyclist prior to the crash. Packman stated that she was not injured . Packman's vehicle had a small dent on it's front passenger side fender. Bicyclist Paul Cannon stated that he was riding his bike southbound on Winchester St in the northbound lane against traffic. Cannon stated that he was riding against traffic because he was scared of the north side of the intersection of Winchester St at Dedham and Needham Streets. Cannon stated that he did not look at the traffic signal to see if he had the right of way because he wanted to focus on the road. Cannon stated that he assumed that Packman's vehicle wold stop for him. After the crash Cannon fell from his bike and onto the roadway. Cannon was treated at the scene by Newton EMS for minor abrasions to his left arm and left leg. Cannon refused further medical aid and signed a patient refusal form. Cannon's bike was not damaged in the crash. I took photos of Packman's vehicle and forwarded the disk to the NPD's IT bureau for downloading. Based upon statements made to me by Packman and Cannon , I believe that Cannon is at fault for the crash because he failed to see if he had the right way.

Narrative:
On 11/08/21 at 14:08 hours while on routine patrol I came across a two car motor vehicle crash in the westbound lane of 667 Commonwealth Avenue. Commonwealth Avenue is a public way owned and maintained by the City of Newton. Both operators were outside of their vehicles at the time and reported no injuries. I observed Vehicle # 1 (Honda Civic MA reg. # 2CWA44) to have heavy front end damage to the bumper and hood area. It was parked back approximately ten feet from Vehicle # 2. Due to the damage and it leaking anti-freeze coolant, Tody's Towing was notified to tow the vehicle away. Vehicle # 2 (Ford EcoSport MA reg. # 2HJV37) was parked in front of Vehicle # 1 and sustained damage to the center and right rear bumper area. It was still driveable. I spoke to the operator of Vehicle # 2 (Maria Bianchi MA D/L # S97972578) and asked her what occurred. She stated that she was traveling westbound on Commonwealth Avenue in her Ford EcoSport (MA # 2HJV37) but was stopped at the time waiting for a vehicle in front of her to make a left turn on to Grafton Street. She was then struck in her rear end by Vehicle # 1. After, I spoke to the operator of Vehicle # 1 (Maria Kuznetsova MA D/L # S48191231) and asked her what occurred. She stated that she was traveling westbound on Commonwealth Avenue in her Honda Civic (MA # 2CWA44) and did not see Vehicle # 2 stopped in traffic due to the sun. She then struck Vehicle # 2 in the rear end. At that time, there was noticeable solar glare in that area of Commonwealth Avenue. This part of Commonwealth Avenue also has a slight curve that you come around and ends at the point where the crash occurred. After, I went back to my cruiser and checked the status of the vehicles and operators through the RMV on my laptop. It showed that Maria Kuznetsova had a expired non renewable driver's license which expired on 07/15/21. Kuznetsova's Honda Civic came back with a status of being unregistered due to revoked insurance. It was revoked on 08/29/21 through the MA RMV. I issued MA Uniform Citation # 185998AB in hand to her for Ch. 90/10/A Unlicensed Operation of a Motor Vehicle, Ch. 90/9/B Unregistered Motor Vehicle, and Ch. 90/34J Uninsured Motor Vehicle and explained the process to her. Motor Vehicle Inventory Tow Form submitted.

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.

Narrative:
At approximately 0933HRs on Wednesday, March 02, 2022, I was dispatched to 151 Sargent St. for a report of a two car MVA. Upon viewing the vehicles, I observed MV1 (MA Pass: 1HLE75) parked in front of 163 Sargent St. with damage to its passenger's side (fender, wheel/tire, front and rear doors). And I observed MV2 (MA Pass: 6ELY50) in the driveway of 151 Sargent St. with damage to its rear (tow hitch and bumper). Upon speaking with the operators, both of whom reported no injuries, the operator of MV1 stated they were traveling Eastbound on Sargent St., when MV2 attempted to exit the aforementioned driveway and they two vehicles made contact. The operator of MV2 stated that as they exited said driveway, there was solar glare which came from not only the sun in their eyes, but from sun reflected off of an uninvolved vehicle which passed on the opposite side of the road. Being that they were unable to see MV1 approaching, MV2 continued to travel out of the driveway, backing up Southbound, when the two vehicles made contact. Both operators exchanged information prior to my arrival. MV1 and its operator remained in a safe area on scene to await a tow from AAA and MV2 left under its own power. I cleared without further incident.
