On Monday, July 15, 2019, while assigned to Traffic unit N525, I responded to the area of Beacon Street and Paulson Road, Newton, for a report of a hit and run motor vehicle accident involving a bicyclist. The weather at the time of the accident was clear and sunny. The road surface was dry. Beacon Street and Paulson Road are both public ways maintained by the City of Newton. I spoke with the injured bicyclist in front of 165 Paulson Road, Alexander Mendonez. Mendonez stated he was traveling Westbound on Beacon Street on his bicycle near Paulson Road. Mendonez stated he observed a late model gray sedan "inch to a stop" on Beacon Street (W) at Paulson Road. Mendonez stated he did not remember if the vehicle had it's right directional on at the time. Mendonez stated as he was traveling through the intersection with the vehicle on his left, the vehicle took a right turn onto Paulson in front of him. Mendonez stated he attempted to brake and veer to the right of the vehicle, but was unable to avoid the collision. Mendonez stated his left side made contact with the rear passenger door/rear fender area of the vehicle. Mendonez fell to the roadway and the vehicle left the area Northbound on Paulson Road. Mendonez was unable to see who was operating the vehicle. Newton Medics responded and treated Mendonez for injuries to his left knee/arm area. Mendonez signed a patient refusal with Newton Medics. I observed minor damage to the left handlebar area of Mendonez's bicycle (black Trek). Mendonez was wearing a white helmet at the time of the accident with a blue shirt and white and black shorts. Pictures were taken of the area and bicycle and submitted to the IT Bureau. Mendonez was able to provide a partial Massachusetts registration of "7BS32". I attempted run this plate with multiple combinations. I searched the area for a vehicle matching the description given by Mendonez with a negative result. On July 16, 2019, I spoke with a witness to the incident Mark O'Hearne. O'Hearne stated he was traveling Westbound on Beacon Street a few car lengths behind where the accident occurred. O'Hearne stated he observed a bicyclist on the right side of the road abruptly stop and fall to the roadway. O'Hearne stated he observed a vehicle in the path of the bicycle. O'Hearne stated the vehicle did not stop after the bicyclist fell and took a right onto Paulson Road from Beacon Street. O'Hearne stated he followed the vehicle involved in the accident to Commonwealth Avenue, and while doing so took a picture of the vehicle's license plate. O'Hearne stated he did not observe who was driving the vehicle. The Massachusetts registration provided to me by O'Hearne is 7BS322. This vehicle comes back to a 2010 Volkswagon Jetta registered to Peter Giorgi (S20952090) out of Paxton, Ma. I spoke with Peter via telephone. Peter acknowledged he is the registered owner of the vehicle, but stated his daughter was using the vehicle and was in the Newton area. I spoke with Lindsey Giorgi (S35711247) via telephone. Giorgi stated she was operating MA: 7BS322 in Newton yesterday, but does not recall being in an accident. Giorgi stated she is not familiar with the area and does not know the area where the accident occurred. Giorgi stated there is no damage to her vehicle and stated she does not believe she hit anyone. Giorgi emailed me 4 photos of her vehicle where I described the damage would be. I observed a small area of minor damage to the rear passenger side door area of this vehicle. After speaking with all parties involved, I am requesting a hearing in Newton District Court for Chapter 90, Section 24 (Leaving the Scene, Personal Injury). Giorgi was advised and mailed Massachusetts Uniform Citation T1269847. All photos obtained from O'Hearne and Giorgi were submitted to the IT Bureau.

On Friday, July 19, 2019, while assigned to traffic unit N525, I responded to the area of 845 Beacon Street, Newton for a report of a motor vehicle accident involving a bicyclist. It was reported that the bicyclist sustained minor injuries as a result of the accident. The weather at the time of the accident was clear and sunny. The road surface was dry. Beacon Street is a public way maintained by the City of Newton. I spoke with the operator of MV1 while Newton Fire and Medics attended to the injured bicyclist. Andrei Jordao (S09978620) stated he was parked in his 2019 Hyundai Kona (NY: JFP5331) at a metered parking spot in front of 847 Beacon Street, Newton. Jordao stated he opened his driver door to exit his vehicle when a passing bicyclist crashed into the door. Jordao stated he did not look back at traffic prior to opening the door. Jordao stated the bicyclist fell to the roadway. I observed moderate damage to the driver side door and it was unable to close as a result of the collision. I spoke with the injured bicyclist, Leonard Engel (S53573803). Engel stated he was operating his bicycle Westbound on Beacon Street in the travel lane. Engel stated a vehicle to his right opened it's driver door into the roadway and he was unable to avoid hitting it. Engel stated he fell over the top of his handlebars and onto the roadway. Engel stated he injured his right shoulder/arm/neck area and his right ankle. Engel also had a small injury to his left knee.

On Tuesday, July 23, 2019, while assigned to Traffic unit N525, I responded to the intersection of Beacon Street and Washington Street, Newton for a motor vehicle accident involving a bicyclist. The weather at the time of the accident was overcast. The road surface was dry. Beacon Street and Washington Street are both public ways maintained by the City of Newton. I spoke with the operator of MV1, Paige Mahoney (S85200426). Mahoney stated she was stopped in traffic at a red light on Beacon Street (W) at Washington Street in her 2018 black Volkswagon Tiguan (MA: 633MV6). Mahoney stated while her vehicle was at a complete stop, she felt and heard something hit the rear of her vehicle. Mahoney exited her vehicle and saw a bicyclist on the roadway. I observed minor damage to the rear middle bumper area of MV1. There was a small amount of blood present on the damaged area. I observed the roadway where the accident occurred. There was a small pool of blood in the left lane of Beacon Street (W) where the bicyclist fell to the roadway. The area of the roadway where the accident occurred is currently undergoing restoration and the asphalt has been graded down to it's sub base in preparation to be resurfaced. The current road surface condition is bumpy and uneven. The area where the roadway goes from a smooth surface to a bumpy surface is where the accident occurred. The injured bicyclist was identified as Timothy Johnson (S29270605). I spoke with him in the Newton Wellesley Hospital emergency room. Johnson stated he was operating his bicycle Westbound on Beacon Street on the right side of the left lane. Johnson stated he was coming to a stop in traffic at a red light when his wheel abruptly turned to the left and he began to fall over. Johnson stated his head hit the back of a vehicle stopped in front of him and he landed on his right side, with his bicycle landing on top of him. As a result of the accident, Johnson suffered an injury to the right side of his head and had scrapes on his right arm. Johnson stated he did not lose consciousness as a result of the accident and he appeared to be alert and orientated while I was speaking with him. Johnson was wearing a helmet at the time of the accident. There were fresh markings on the right side of the helmet with minor black paint transfer. These markings are consistent with Johnson's statement that he fell into the back of MV1 and hit his head. Johnson's bicycle was removed from the roadway prior to my arrival and was being stored in the driveway of 2044 Beacon Street by the resident there. I observed no obvious damage to Johnson's bicycle. After speaking with all parties involved and examining the roadway where the accident occurred, it appears that the condition of the road surface contributed to Johnson losing control of his bicycle and crashing into the rear bumper area of MV1 while it was stopped in traffic. Photos were taken of the road surface, John's bicycle, and MV2 and submitted to the IT Bureau.

On Friday, August 16th 2019, at approximately 6:40pm, I, Officer Brooks, responded to Dunstan street at Washington street for a MVA pedestrian. Upon my arrival I spoke with the operator of MV1(294NZ5), who stated she was traveling southbound on Dunstan street and was attempting to pull out onto Washington street, when she made contact with a bicyclist traveling westbound on Washington street. The operator stated she never saw the bicyclist, and that she was traveling less than a mile per hour when she made contact. It should be noted that the sun was setting and the operators vision would have been impaired by the sun at the location of the accident. MV1 had a minor scuff mark on the front bumper. I spoke with the bicyclist who stated he was traveling westbound on Washington street and was crossing over Dunstan street when he was struck by MV1. He stated he was knocked off the bike, scraped his arm, and had minor back pain. The mirror on the right side of his bike was broken. The bicyclist was wearing greenish gray clothing, and was not wearing protective equipment such as a helmet. The bicyclist signed a refusal from Cataldo and was given a copy of the report number. Pictures were taken of the scene and all parties were sent on their way.

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.

Lee for a report of a motor vehicle crash involving a motorcycle with serious injury to it's operator. The weather at the time of the crash was clear and sunny. The road surface was dry. Crafts Street and Albemarle Road are both public ways maintained by the City of Newton. I spoke with the operator of MV1, Jussara Pontes (S92930243). Pontes stated she was operating a 2017 Toyota Sienna (MA: 4GX777) at the time of the crash. Pontes stated she was traveling North on Albemarle Road and came to a stop at the stop sign located at the Crafts Street intersection.

On 10/04/19 at 11:49 hours while assigned to Traffic Unit 523, I responded to a motor vehicle/bicyclist accident at Centre Street and Nathan Road. The weather at the time was cloudy. The road surface was dry and Centre Street and Nathan Road are public ways maintained by the City of Newton. Traffic conditions were heavy and Centre Street was congested with vehicles at the time. There is no dedicated bicycle lane in this area but there are bicycle indicators painted on the roadway to make drivers aware of bicyclists traveling. I spoke to the bicyclist involved (Unit 2), Marvin Goldman (S67373495). Goldman was wearing a helmet, gray sweatshirt, gray shorts, and black/orange reflective sneakers. Mr. Goldman stated that he was traveling southbound on Centre Street on the right side of the road on his black Fuji Sagres bicycle.

She says that she was traveling northbound on Centre Street and was attempting to turn left on to Nathan Road in order to turn around and travel the other way on Centre Street. She says that a vehicle in the southbound travel lane left space for her to make her left turn. She then proceeded to turn thinking it was clear and that is when the bicyclist suddenly approached and struck her on her passenger side. She also stated that it was hard to see past the congestion of vehicles waiting in the southbound travel lane. I observed scratch marks and a dent to her passenger side front quarter panel area along with minor scuff marks to her front passenger door. The scuff marks appear to be from the bicyclist rubbing against the vehicle. I also observed a dent on the top of the passenger door frame. It is unknown if the damage is the result of the accident or old damage Ofc. Calderon spoke to Rosangela Dias (Passenger in Unit 1), who stated that everything happened so quick but she never saw the bicyclist approaching when Martins attempted to turn left.

On 12/19/2019 at 14:43 hours Newton Police dispatch received numerous phone calls about a white male whose face was covered in blood and was riding on an electric motorized scooter south bound on Walnut St near number 100. Walnut St is a public way in the city of Newton. Approximately two tenths of a mile south 100 Walnut St, Ofc Garcia stopped the male on the scooter. Ofc Garcia stated that the male on the scooter was evasive when answering his questions and claimed that he did not realize that his face was covered in blood. The male on the scooter was identified as Gregory David Brown. Brown was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital for treatment. Prior to Brown being transported I was dispatched to the area of 100 Walnut St for a report of a male on an scooter who had crashed into a south bound vehicle in traffic on Walnut St and another vehicle that was parked in front of number 73. Upon my arrival I spoke with Penni Rochwerger and Nikita Espinal. Rochwerger stated that she was driving south bound on Walnut St across from 100 when she activated her vehicle's four way flasher and stopped her vehicle to let Espinal who was the front seat passenger out. Rochwerger stated that south bound traffic stopped behind her vehicle after she came to a stop adjacent to Espinal vehicle that was parked facing south in front of 73 Walnut St. Espinal stated that she checked over her right should to see if it was clear to open her door and it was .

Rochwerger's vehicle sustained damage to the front passenger side door that would not closed all the way. Espinal vehicle also had damage to it, the rear driver's side lower quarter panel was struck. I responded to Newton Wellesley Hospital to speak with Brown. When I arrived and spoke with Brown he was evasive with his answers . When I asked Brown what had happened he gave conflicting answers and contradicted himself. Brown stated that he was riding his scooter on the roadway south bound on Walnut St be could not recall any other details. When I asked Brown if he was wearing a helmet as required by MGL 90/1E he stated he couldn't recall. Rochwerger, Espinal and Ofc Garcia all stated to me that they did not see Brown wearing a hamlet. There was an unconfirmed post by a person named Tricia Marucci to the Facebook group Newton Parents stating that at 14:45 hours on 12/19/2019 saw Brown hitting a defect in the roadway in the area of Crafts St by California St that caused him to loses control of his scooter and fall face first onto the pavement. In her post Marucci stated that Brown was cover in blood from facial lacerations, and that he refused medical aid and continued to ride his scooter south bound towards the entrance to Walnut St. I left a message for Marucci to contact me and as of the writing of this report she has yet to do so. While at the hospital I ran Brown's name and date of birth via the MA RMV data base in order to issue him a citation for not wearing a helmet. The query of Brown via the MA RMV data base reviled that Brown's MA driver's license statutes was suspended.
