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".
