crash_reports

MV1 (MA Reg: 51JD62, 2007 green Toyota Pruis) operated by Marcia Gittes (DOB 11/29/1948) was traveling Southbound on Walnut St when it collided with a pedestrian in the crosswalk at Walnut St/Foster St. MV1 collided with a man, later identified as Jerome Shectman (DOB 10/7/1964). He had an injury to the back of his head, right hand, left shoulder and lower spine and was transported to Beth Israel Hospital. Witness, Patrick Clare-O'Brien saw the crash take place. He stated that the pedestrian, Jerome was crossing in the crosswalk traveling Westbound towards Foster St, successfully passed through the lane where vehicles were traveling Northbound on Walnut St and was then hit by the Toyota Prudish in the lane going Southbound. Jerome was already halfway through the crosswalk at this point. It was dark, but there was a streetlight directly over this crosswalk on Walnut St creating a semi-lit area for visibility. Mrs. Gittes stated that she didn't see him because he was wearing dark clothing and it was dark outside. She saw him when it was too late. There was no damage to her vehicle. Mrs. Gittes was given a monetary citation (T0646789) for 89/11 Crosswalk Violation. pictures were taken at the scene and the photo SD card was sent to IT. Traffic Bureau update (Officer Gaudet): I was asked to follow up with the injured pedestrian involved in this accident, Jerome Schectman (S77606276). Schectman stated he was attempting to cross Walnut Street east to west towards Foster Street. Schectman stated he entered the crosswalk after observing no cars traveling towards him in the Northbound lane of Walnut Street. Schectman stated he began walking across the street and stopped in the middle of Walnut Street after observing 2 vehicles traveling towards him in the Southbound lane. Schectman stated as the first vehicle went by, he stared at it as it traveled past him and down the street. Schectman stated as he looked back at the second car it was traveling right at him and he was unable to get out of the way. Schectman stated the vehicle hit him on his right side. Schectman listed his injuries as follows: fractured vertebrae, laceration to the back of his head, neck pain, and left shoulder/arm pain.

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.

Veh #1 was stopped on Needham St. at Columbia Ave red light, when veh #2 hit her from behind. Operator of veh #1 complained she hit her head on the back rest and wrist on steering wheel. She was evaluated by Amb #1 but signed a patient refusal and declined to go to the hospital. Minor damage to rear of veh #1. The operator of veh #2 stated he was stopped behind veh #1 at the red light when his foot slipped off. He then struck the gas instead of the brake. The operator was cited in hand Mass# T1441206-Failure to use care in stopping. No visible damage to veh #2.

On Saturday January 5th 2019 at 18:01, I was dispatched to Crafts St at Waltham St for a report of a 2 car accident. Operator of MV1 stated he was driving southbound on Waltham Street and approached the intersection as the traffic control changed to red. He slowed down and came to a complete stop. Approximately 4-6 seconds later, he was rear ended by MV2. MV1 sustained minor damage to the rear passenger side. MV1 had three other occupants in the vehicle at the time of the accident. The two passengers in the back seat complained of back pain and were evaluated by Cataldo Paramedic Basic 3 and both signed patient refusals. The operator of MV2 stated as he approached the intersection he "was sleeping." When I asked him to elaborate further he was unable to provide me any answers. He was evaluated by PB3 and transported to NWH. He was issued citation # T1441363 for Operating Under the Influence of Alcohol (2nd Offense) and Negligent Operation of a Motor Vehicle. See Report #19000596 for further details. MV2 was towed by Todys Towing due to the operator being transported to the hospital and the passenger stating he was too intoxicated to drive. A towed motor vehicle form was filled out.

OPERATOR #1 WAS ON DEDHAM ST, HEADING EASTBOUND AT THE INTERSECTION OF BROOKLINE ST. SHE WAS ATTEMPTING TO TAKE A LEFT HAND TURN ONTO BROOKLINE ST. SHE STATES THAT THE CAR IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF HER STOPPED, AN INDICATION THAT THE DRIVER WAS LETTING HER TAKE A LEFT HAND TURN. SHE TOOK THE LEFT HAND TURN ONTO BROOKLINE ST AND STRUCK VEHICLE #2 AS IT WAS PASSING BY. VEHICLE #2 IN TURN REAR ENDED VEHICLE #3. VEHICLE #3 OPERATOR TRANSPORTED TO FAULKNER HOSPITAL WITH MINOR INJURIES. VEHICLE OPERATOR #1 STATES THAT HER VIEW WAS OBSTRUCTED, AND THAT SHE WAS TRAVELING EASTBOUND THE SUN WAS IN HER EYES AND HER VIEW WAS OBSTRUCTED. VEHICLE #2 AND #3 WERE TOWED BY TODYS TOWING OF NEWTON. VEHICLE #1 OPERATOR ISSUED CITATION T0645456 BY MAIL, FOR FAILING TO YIELD TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC.

MV1 was traveling southbound on Walnut St when the operator, Saptarshi Ganguly, stated that he began to feel fatigued, believed he blacked out and then woke up after impact with MV2. Mr. Ganguly stated that he takes Atenolol for vasovagal syncope. I know this to be a condition that makes individuals feel like they are going to faint. He stated he was diagnosed with the disorder about 10 years ago. MV1 crossed over the double yellow lines on Walnut St and collided head-on with MV2 who was traveling northbound on Walnut St. Two witnesses (Kyle Fieleke and Edward Aybar) at the scene corroborated the story and said that MV1, in a 2015 BMW X535I, MA Reg: 668BG5 veered into the opposite lane and hit MV2 head-on, a 2018 Tesla Model3, MA Reg: EV585N. MV1 operator, Saptarshi Ganguly, was issued MA Uniform Citation T1440468 for 89/4a for Marked Lane Violation. A Request for Medical Evaluation form was filled out for Saptarshi Ganguly and faxed to the MA RMV at 857-368-0018 as I am unable to determine his driving ability. Both operators were transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital to be evaluated. Both vehicles had extensive front end damage and were towed by Tody's towing.

On Saturday, January 12th 2019, at approximately 4:12pm, I, Officer Brooks, responded to a single vehicle accident in the area of Cherry street and Derby street, both of which are public ways in the city of Newton. Upon arrival in the area I observed the fire department off with MV1(MA REG 9PAK20), in front of 171 Cherry street. The vehicle had a fire hydrant lodged under the front axle, and front end damage. The fire department was attempting to wake the operator who was unresponsive. The fire department ended up administering 2 doses of Narcan to the operator before he became responsive. The operator was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital by Cataldo for further evaluation. Based on the accident scene, it appears the operator was traveling southbound on Cherry street, crossed over the center line into oncoming traffic, striking the fire hydrant in front of 154 Cherry street, and then crossed back over into the correct lane of traffic before coming to rest in front of 171 Cherry street. The vehicle was towed by Tody's towing, and an inventory form was filled out and filed. The operator was mailed MA Uniform Citations T0648078 and T0648079 charging him with MGL 89/4A Marked Lanes violation, 90/24 OUI Drugs, 90/24(2)(A) Operating to Endanger/Negligent operation, 90/11 No License in Possession, and 90/11 No Registration in Possession. Officer Donahue took pictures of the fire hydrant and crash scene, which have been submitted to the IT Bureau. The fire department was made aware of the broken hydrant.

On 01/15/2019, at 1919 hrs, I responded to the intersection of Washington St and Centre St for a two car MVA. Upon arrival, I observed heavy damage to the front end of MV1 and moderate damage to the rear end of MV2. The operator of MV2 complained of head/neck injuries and was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital by Cataldo for an evaluation. The operator of MV1 stated she was attempting to merge onto Washington St from Centre St when she rear ended MV2. The operator of MV2 stated when she slowed to merge onto Washington St from Centre St she was rear ended by MV1. Both vehicles were towed by Tody's. Towed MV inventory forms were filled out and filed.

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 Wednesday, January 16th 2019, at approximately 3:30pm, I, Officer Brooks, responded to a single car MVA in the area of 611 Watertown street. Upon my arrival Cataldo medics were treating the operator of MV1(MA REG 159EF6) for a diabetic issue. I spoke with a witness to the accident who did not wish to leave their information. The witness stated they were traveling westbound on Watertown street behind MV1, when it suddenly left the roadway to the right, striking the curb, before returning to the roadway and stopping. The witness stated that MV1 nearly missed a fire hydrant and a utility pole on the sidewalk. MV1 had a flat front passenger side tire, and minor scrapes on the body. I spoke with the medics who were still treating the operator for her diabetic issue. I observed the operator was in and out of consciousness, and unable to speak about the accident. It took several minutes for the operator to regain her consciousness, however she was still not able to answer simple questions coherently and was transported to Newton Wellesley hospital for further evaluation. MV1 was towed from the scene by Tody's, and an inventory form was filed and submitted. The area the crash occured was a high pedestrian traffic area, and both an elementary and middle school are within walking distance of the accident. An immediate threat form was filled out and filed for the operator of MV1.

MA commercial reg M94754 (vehicle #1), a City of Newton pickup/sander truck, was located crashed over the curb in front of 1970 Beacon St. The vehicle was unoccupied, had the keys in the ignition, and was reported stolen just a few minutes prior to discovery. The reporting party of the stolen truck and uninvolved occupant is identified as City DPW worker George Sementelli. The witness/passerby who discovered the collision is also a DPW worker, identified as Donny Brandt. Pursuant to an investigation outlined in incident #19002213, the operator at the time of the crash was determined to be Michael Carter. It is believed that Carter stole the vehicle from 295 Auburn St, fled the area, and ultimately crashed in front of 1970 Beacon St. Corroborating facts outlined in the incident report put Carter as the operator. The vehicle itself was located partially on the sidewalk and partially on the road, therefore Carter is being cited with MGL 89/4A - Marked Lanes Violation (T1268423). Due to the fact it is believed that Carter fled the scene after the crash, MGL 90/24/C - Leaving the Scene of Property Damage was added as well as MGL 90/23/D Operating After a Suspended LIcense, and MGL 90/24/O - Reckless Operation of a Motor Vehicle. The crash occurred during busy weekday commuting about 0.7 miles from Angier Elementary School. The last 3 charges mentioned have been listed on a second citation (T1268422). Officer Brooks also issued T0648082 for OUI Drugs MGL 90/24/G. See the incident report for details about this charge. In total, there are (3) citations issued to Carter. The vehicle sustained heavy front end damage. It should be noted that the utility pole a couple of houses down from the crash site (Beacon/Varick Rd, pole #212) sustained fresh, minor superficial damage, consistent with the vehicle crashing into it before verring onto the sidewalk. Pictures have been taken and submitted to the IT bureau. Tody's responded and towed the vehicle to the police garage for processing due to the pending other criminal charges involved in this accident/incident. Michael Carter was subsequently placed under arrest and his citations have been placed into his property. Carter suffered a hand injury due to the crash an was transported to NWH Hospital for an evaluation after he was booked.

On the above date/time I responded to the area 2000 Washington Street Newton -Wellesley - Hospital for a two motor vehicle crash on the 3rd floor of the parking garage. Upon arrival I met with the operator of vehicle one, she stated she was pulling into a parking spot and applied the brakes but due to the ice on the roadway and slope of the roadway her vehicle slid into the rear of vehicle two which was parked. Vehicle two was unoccupied, and dispatch tried to get in contact with the owner to advise them. I also left a message with NWH in case the owner comes back in. No injuries and I advised of the process. Later in the day the owner vehicle two came to NPD, I gave him vehicle one inforamtion and advised him of the process.

At approximately 1615HRs. on Thursday, January 24, 2019, I was dispatched to the intersection of Elliot St. and Boylston St. for a report of an MVA. Upon arrival, I located the operator of MV1 (MA Pass: 1NB459) who had pulled into the BP gas station. He stated that he was traveling Northbound on Elliot St. when his traffic signal turned red and he brought his vehicle to a complete stop at the intersection. He stated that at this time, he was rear ended by MV2. He and the operator of MV2 then got out of their respective vehicles and spoke about the collision, after a few moments, the operator of MV2 got in her vehicle and left. Using the picture of MV2's license plate (MA Pass: 3EY477) which he provided me, I was able to contact the operator of MV2 at her residence. She stated that she was traveling Northbound on Elliot St. and observed MV1 come to a stop and she applied her brakes and came to a complete stop aswell, without making any contact to MV1. She further stated that the operator of MV1 became agitated and started to yell at her. She then left because she asserts that there was no collision and she was concerned by the operator of MV1's behavior. I observed no damage to MV1's rear bumper area, with the exception of an old dent, approx. the size of a quarter, which was highlighted with some type of permanent marker. I observed no damage to MV2's front bumper area and I noted large, pronounced license plate bolts affixing MV2's license plate to its bumper. The operator of MV1 stated that he was suffering from back pain due to the collision and elected to drive himself to Carney Hospital. Due to there being no damage to either vehicle and the large plate bolts on MV2, which would have likely caused notable damage to MV1's bumper, I will not be charging the operator of MV2 with leaving the scene of an accident at this time. Both parties have been advised to contact their insurance companies and I cleared without incident.

Operator of MV1 (MA reg. 328XVF) states he was driving eastbound on Church Street and stopped at a red light. He realized he was in the left turn only lane and began turning into the right lane to proceed straight through the intersection. Operator of MV1 does not believe there was any contact between the two vehicles. Operator of MV2 (MA taxi reg. TA477C) stated he was in his lane when MV2 turned into him. I did not see any new damage to either vehicle. Operator of MV2 requested to be evaluated by paramedics. Cataldo paramedics responded and transported operator 2 to Saint Elizabeth's Hospital. MV2 was parked in Eaton Mac Kay Funeral Home parking lot and Veterans Taxi was notified. Veterans Taxi was unable to verify weather the damage on MV2 was new or old. They do not have a log of damage to the vehicle.

On Tuesday, January 29, 2019, while assigned to Traffic unit N525, I responded to the intersection of Cherry Street and Webster Street, Newton for a report of a motor vehicle accident involving a City of Newton owned vehicle. Cherry Street and Webster Street are both public ways maintained by the City of Newton. The weather at the time of the accident was overcast. The road surface was dry. The operator of MV1, John Bryant III (MA: S61611545), stated he was operating a City of Newton owned Volvo BL70 (MA MVN: M84236) Eastbound on Webster Street past Cherry Street. Bryant stated as he came to a stop in traffic, MV2 crashed into the rear of the vehicle he was operating. I observed minor damage to the rear bucket area of MV1. Bryant reported no injuries on scene and signed a patient refusal with Newton Medics. Bryant works for the Utilities Department with the DPW. The operator of MV2, Andrew Bell (NJ: B23900426706004), stated he was operating his 2013 Volkswagon (NJ: C54KKJ) Eastbound on Webster Street past Cherry Street. Bell stated he was following MV1 a little too close while they were traveling down Webster Street. Bell stated while traveling down Webster Street he looked down quickly but does not remember why, and when he looked up MV1 had come to a stop. Bell stated he could not avoid crashing into the rear of MV1. I observed significant damage to the front hood/windshield area of MV1. Bell was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital with a minor injury. Bell was provided with Massachusetts Uniform Citation T1272991 in hand for Newton City Ordinance Chapter 19 Section 71 (Following Too Closely) . Pictures were taken of both vehicles and submitted to the IT Bureau.

On 02/07/2019, while assigned to N494, I, Officer Conary, responded to a MVA at Franklin Street and Waverly Ave. I met with the Operator of MV1 who stated that he was driving Northbound on Waverly Ave when MV2 came into his lane from Franklin Street and hitting him on the left side. Operator of MV2 stated that he was stopped at the stop sign at Franklin Street and proceeded to take a left turn onto Waverly Ave. At this time, MV2 thought MV1 had a stop sign and was going to stop. MV2 hit MV1. There is no stop sign on Waverly Ave at Franklin Street. Operators of each vehicle were offered and declined medical attention. Operator of MV2 was a Lyft driver and was driving three others in the vehicle. Two occupants were offered and accepted medical attention. Both were transported to Newton Wellesley hospital. The other occupant (Paige) declined medical attention. She had a air cast on from a previous injury. MV1 could not be driven from scene. It was parked legally and safely on the side of the road. Operator of MV1 will get a tow later on. MV2 was able to be driven from scene. Operator of MV2 continued to drive Paige home. No further incident to report.

MV#1 Stated while traveling westbound down Commonwealth ave he struck a patch of ice. The ice caused his vehicle to rotate 360 degrees and proceeded to slide on the roadside shoulder striking a verizon poll ( 102/285). MV#1 traveled approximately 12ft from the road before striking the poll. MV#1 sustained heavy front end damage. MV#1 had all airbags deployed and had a small fire under the front end. I observed multiple other vehicles passing having difficulties and vehicles sliding due to significant ice conditions. Driver of MV#1 had injuries to his left arm, possible broken forearm/wrist. Passenger of MV#1 stated she had chest pains. Medics transported both parties to Newton Wellesley Hospital for further evaluation. Tody's Towed the vehicle due to heavy front end damage.

Opr of V2 stated he was behind V1 on Centre Street. Opr states both vehicles were waiting to turn right onto Washington Street. Opr states he was looking left waiting for an opening and did not look to see if V1 was moving. At this time, Opr of V2 started to travel forward and made contact with the rear of V1. Opr of V1 was not on scene due being pregnant. Her father Tom Sharpe was on scene and stated his daughter was waiting to turn right and was struck from behind. Sharpe stated his daughter had some pain to her neck and stomach region and his wife took her to the hospital. Both vehicles suffered minor damage and were not towed. Opr of V1 sustained minor injuries and went to the hospital with her mother. I was unable to make contact with Opr of V1, but Opr of V2 stated he knew he was at fault.

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.

Operator of MV1 (Mass reg. 8928AN) states he was traveling south bound on Waverly Ave when MV2 went through the stop sign and entered the intersection causing him to collide with MV2. Operator of MV2 (Mass reg. 7SH894) states she does not have much recollection from the accident. She states she had glare in her eyes when she was traveling east bound on Franklin Street and stopped at the intersection with Waverly Ave and proceeded through the intersection and collided with MV1. All parties were evaluated by Cataldo paramedics, operator of MV2 was transported to Saint Elizabeth's Hospital with minor injuries. Tody's towed both motor vehicles.

ON 3-3-19 AT APPROX. 1223HRS. WHILE WORKING N492 I TOOK A REPORT FOR MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT. UPON ARRIVAL AT THE INTERSECTION OF CRAFT ST AND ALBEMARLE RD. I SPOKE TO THE OPERATOR OF VEHICLE #1. DRIVER STATES SHE WAS HEADING S-BOUND ON CRAFT ST. STOPPED IN TRAFFIC PREPARING TO TAKE A LEFT ONTO ALBEMARLE RD. WHEN SHE WAS HIT IN THE REAR BY VEHICLE #2. I LATER INFORMED VEHICLE #1 THAT THE LEFT TURN ONTO ALBEMARLE FROM CRAFT IS PROHIBITED. VEHICLE #2 STATES SHE WAS TRAVELING S-BOUND ON CRAFT WHEN VEHICLE #1 STOPPED ABRUPTLY AND SHE WAS UNABLE TO AVOID HITTING HER. VEHICLE #1 HAD LEFT REAR END DAMAGE AND WAS OPERATIONAL. VEHICLE #2 HAD EXTENSIVE LEFT FRONT DAMAGE AND WAS TOWED BY TODYS. ALL PARTIES OF VEHICLE #1 REPORTED NO INJURIES. VEHICLE #2 HAD COMPLAINTS OF HEAD PAIN AND A CRACK IN THE WINDSHIELD FROM WHERE HER HEAD HAD HIT IT. OPERATOR OF VEHICLE #2 WAS TRANSPORTED TO NEWTON WELLESLEY HOSPITAL BY MEDIC2. ALL PARTIES ADVISED TO CONTACT THEIR INSURANCE COMPANIES.

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.

The OP. of MV#1 states she has been having issues with controlling her right leg recently and went to Newton-Wellesley Hospital today to precisely see her doctor about it. As she was pulling up to stop for the Valet, her leg hit the gas pedal instead of the brakes. She steered around pedestrians, went up on the curb, through a frozen snow mound before managing to stop on a roadway towards the other hospital buildings. The OP. of MV#1 understands that she shouldn't be driving for the time being. Immediate Threat Form was faxed to the Driver Control Unit.

On the above date/time I responded to the area of Cherry Street and Webster Street for a three motor vehicle crash with injuries. Upon arrival along with Sgt. Dempsey, Fire/medics. I spoke with the operator of vehicle one. He stated he was stopped on Webster Street facing westbound a the red traffic signal. He further stated the traffic signal on Webster Street turned green, he accelerated forward. He stated vehicle two traveled north on Cherry Street at a high rate of speed through the red traffic signal. He stated he had no reaction time due to the speed of vehicle two and had impact. I spoke to the operator of vehicle two. He stated he was traveling north on Cherry Street going too fast, he stated he thought it was a school zone so he slowed down and he did not observe the color of the traffic signal. He stated he observed vehicle one come out of the Webster Street at the last second at impact. I spoke with the operator of vehicle three. She stated only remembered being stopped on Cherry Street facing south. She stated she did not remember what color the traffic signal was, just knew she was stopped when she felt heavy impact from vehicle two. Injuries: Oper of V1 none at this time- patient refusal Oper of V2 none at this time - patient refusal Oper of V3 Head laceration and head trauma, transported to Newton- Wellesley Hospital Tody's towing arrived on scene and towed vehicles two, three to their tow lot. All proper paper work was done for a towed vehicle(s). All parties advised of the process. After the vehicles were towed, and the scene was cleared I watched the cycling of the traffic signals in the intersection and observed they were functioning properly. It appears a this time based on statements and physical characteristics of the impact area on the roadway, that vehicle two went through the red light on Cherry Street, which caused the crash.

On Sunday, May 5th, 2019 at approximately 1315 hours while working the City of Newton detail for the Walk for Hunger I was standing at my assigned post at the intersection of Centre Street and Willow Street. At the time, the road surface was dry and the weather was cloudy. Traffic was particulary heavy as there were several streets in the area still blocked off for the Walk for Hunger and there were participants still walking the route in the area. My attention was drawn to the intersection of Centre Street and Bowen Street as there was a motor vehicle travelling southbound on Centre Street with their left turn signal on attempting to take a left turn on to Gibbs Street. Gibbs Street was temporarily blocked to non-residential motorists as there were several pedestrians in the road crossing over Gibbs Street. As the motor vehicle attempted to turn, there were several pedestrians in the crosswalk crossing over Gibbs Street. The vehicle had stopped halfway into the northbound lane on Centre Street blocking on coming traffic. The operator appeared to realize Gibbs Street was blocked and attemped to turn the vehicle back into the southbound lane to continue southbound on Centre Street. As the vehicle turned back into the southbound traffic lane, the vehicles rear end collided with Officer Richard Clements, who was operating NPD motorcycle unit 533. Officer Clements was traveling southbound on Centre Street and was passing the vehicles in the southbound traffic lane which were currently all at a standstill. Officer Clements had his emergency lights activated as he was on his way to remove traffic cones from the street to open up all the traffic lanes along the event route. Officer Clements was working the City of Newton detail for the Walk for Hunger assigned to the motorcycle to assist with traffic. Officer Clements front wheel, left side of the motorcycle and left leg collided with the rear end of the motor vehicle. The impact of the crash caused him to fall off the left side of the motorcycle and land on the street face first. At this time I immediately ran from my post to Officer Clements location and radioed dispatch that a motorcycle officer was down and that I needed assistance. As I approached Officer Clements he was face down, unconcious and breathing. I was able to roll Officer Clements into the recovery position and at this time Officer Clements regained conciousness and was able to speak and stated " What happened? What was that lady doing she turned right into me". I advised Officer Clements that he had just been involved in an accident and to stay still and that help was on the way. The operator of the motor vehicle identified as Helen Leibner (S52717988) stopped her vehicle immediatley after the crash and got out of her vehicle to offer her assistance. I advised Helen and several other witnesses and bystanders who were now crowding around Officer Clements and I to back away from the scene and to not move any of the vehicles involved. Officer Selig arrived on scene and was able to help crowd control until further help arrived. Helen and all witnesses were advised to stand by for police to take their statements. While tending to Officer Clements he was disoriented and made several attempts to move his body to which I had to physically hold him still to prevent possible further injuries. While speaking with Officer Clements I noticed blood coming from the inside of his mouth. Officer Clements was in a noticeable amount of pain. He complained of head, back and left leg pain. Officer Clements was wearing a yellow ANSI certified Newton Police reflective jacket and a Newton Police issued motorcycle helmet. Once the paramedics and fire personnel arrived I was able to speak to the operator of the motor vehicle and several other witnesses. Helen stated she was traveling southbound on Centre Street operating her blue 2014 Audi A4 (MA REG 213BC9). Helen states she was attempting to take a left turn onto Gibbs Street and activated her left turn signal. Helen states she had stopped halfway into the northbound lane as several pedestrians were crossing Gibbs Street in the crosswalk at the time. Helen states after the pedestrians cleared she saw the traffic cones blocking the street and realized the street was closed. Helen states she turned her vehicle back into the southbound traffic lane and did not see Officer Clements or the motorcycle until impact. Helen was not injured and her motor vehicle sustained moderate rear end damage. Her motor vehicle was able to drive away from the scene. Witness Adron Gordon (S90357161) stated he was participating in the Walk for Hunger and had just crossed over Gibbs Street when the crash occured. He stated he witnessed the Officer on the motorcycle with the emergency lights on traveling southbound on Centre Street behind the motor vehicle. The motor vehicle stopped in traffic attempting to turn left onto Gibbs Street. He states then the vehicle made a slight turn back into the southbound traffic lane and the motorcycle collided with the rear end of the motor vehicle. He states the Officer then fell off the motorcycle landing in the middle of Centre Street. Witness Elizabeth McCarthy (S00242346) and Katherine Regan (S43486601) stated they both were in the same vehicle together stopped in traffic in the northbound lane of Centre Street just before the set of lights at Centre Street and Bowen Street. Both witnesses stated they do not remember if the driver of the motor vehicle had the turn signal on but they did see her attempt to turn onto Gibbs Street. They stated they also saw the motorcycle with emergency lights activated travel southbound on Centre Street approaching behind the vehicle. Witnesses state the motor vehicle then suddenly turned back into the southbound lane and the motorcycle collided with the passenger side tailight of the motor vehicle. Both witnesses state the motorcycle attemped to turn away from the vehicle to avoid the crash but was unable to do so. Witness Nina Wang (S39460985) stated she was parked on the southbound lane of Centre Street just prior to the crash scene. Nina states she was in her City of Newton DPW marked vehicle with the hazards on as she was working to assist with traffic safety for the Walk for Hunger.

Nina states the motorcycle passed the traffic using the left side and had the emergency lights activated. Nina states the motorcycle was just passing through the green light at Centre Street and Bowen Street when the motor vehicle that was stopped at the lights attempting to take a left turn onto Gibbs Street. Nina states the vehicle then abruptly jerked her car to the right and collided with the motorcycles left side. Nina states she heard a loud crash and witnessed the Officer fall off the motorcycle and land face first onto the street. The motorcycle's final resting place was on its left side approximately two feet away from where Officer Clements was located. The motorcycle sustained moderate damage to its left side, including the front wheel well and undercarriage. The motorcycle left scuff marks on the street which were measured and photographed. Several photographs of the scene and damage to both vehicles were taken and submitted to the IT Bureau. The motorcycle was towed by Todys.

The injured motorcyclist, Officer Clements, was transported to Saint Elizabeth Hospital with fire fighters on board. I was able to follow up with Officer Clements on the phone the next day who was admitted over night at the hospital. Officer Clements stated he has no recollection of the accident and can only remember driving down Centre Street to begin to pick up cones to open up all lanes of traffic.

On 06/08/2019 at 0150 hours I received a call from Sgt Lee in regard to a head on motor vehicle crash with entrapment that had occurred on Center St at the four way intersection with Cabot St and Sergeant St. Upon my arrival at the crash scene I was advised by Sgt Lee that all occupants of the involved vehicles had been transported to hospitals for treatment. I made the following observations of the crash scene , Center St is a two lane public way in the city of Newton that runs north to south. I observed a city of Newton contracted Cataldo ambulance stopped in the south bound lane of Center St at Cabot St. The ambulance was MA AMN registration AMB 370 a 2017 Ford Econo Line that had heavy damage to the front end and driver's side fender. I observed that the front tire of the ambulance was snapped off and was pushed back towards the driver's side door. I further observed that both of the front and side air bags of the ambulance were deployed. The front of the ambulance's final point of rest was 8'8" from a fixed overhead light pole on the northeast corner of Center St at Cabot St. The ambulance's front passenger side tire was 4'3" front the curb on the Cabot St side. The ambulance's rear passenger side tire was 2'3" from the Cabot St side curb. The ambulance's rear driver side tire was 5'1" from the double yellow line on Center St. The ambulance's front driver side tire was 6'3"from the Center St double yellow line. The width of Center St from the double yellow line to the Center St curb is 15'' and 16'" to the Sergeant St side. I observed a 2011 Mazda 3 with MA PAN registration 6KJ783 facing south bound in the north bound lane. The Mazda had heavy damage to it's front end, and I observed that it's front tires had snapped off. The Mazda's roof had been removed by Newton Fire to extract the occupant. The front of the Mazda's final point of rest was 40'3" from a fixed overhead light pole on the northeast corner of Center St and Sergeant St. The Mazda's front passenger tire was 4'6" from the double yellow line on Center St. The Mazda's rear passenger side tire was 7'6" from the Center St double yellow line. The Mazda's rear passenger side tire was 1'2" from the Center St double yellow line. The Mazda's front driver's side tire was on the curb on the Sergeant St side of Center St. There were no skid marks from the Mazda which indicates that no braking occurred. At the time of the crash, the Cataldo Ambulance was being operated by Paramedic Corey Bohan and Paramedic Tom White was in the front passenger seat. Bohan stated that he was operating his vehicle southbound on Center St towards Cabot St after clearing a medical call. There were no patients in the ambulance at the time of the crash, and Bohan estimated he was travelling 25 MPH . Bohan stated within less than two seconds he observed a vehicle traveling towards him northbound on Center St in the southbound lane and estimated it's speed to be approximately 80 to 100 MPH.Bohan stated he was able to slow to a near stop and had moved his vehicle towards the right shoulder on Center St before the Mazda struck his vehicle head on. Bohan stated that after forcing his way out of the driver's seat of his vehicle, he rendered medical aid to the operator and only occupant of the Mazda, Jessica Pondish. Bohan stated that Pondish speech was slurred and he detected an odor of an alcoholic beverage emanating from her breath and person. Bohan was later transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital for evaluation. The passenger in the ambulance, Tom White stated to officers that he was working on the ambulance's laptop computer and did not see anything leading up to the impact from the crash. White stated that he was able to force himself free of the passenger side of the ambulance, and rendered medical aid to Pondish. White stated that Pondish was " in and out of it " and did not appear coherent.White stated that he asked Pondish if she had consumed any alcoholic beverage and she nodded in the affirmative. White Stated that he was unsure if Pondish understood his questions. White stated that he did not detect any odor of an alcohol beverage emanating from Pondish's breath or person. White was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital for evaluation. Pondish was freed from her vehicle after approximately 22 minutes by Newton Fire Department units by utilizing special extraction tools. Pondish was transported by Newton Medic Unit Two to the Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston for treatment. From 06/08/2019 to 06/10/2019 Pondish had two surgeries and was unable to speak due to her condition. On 06/10/2019 myself and Officer Gaudet were able to speak with Pondish in her hospital ICU room at the Brigham and Women's Hospital. Pondish's parents Lorena and John Pondish were present while we spoke with her. Officer Gaudet asked Pondish about the events that led up to the crash. Pondish stated that on 06/07/2019 she was at a friend's residence in Norton, MA. Pondish stated that while at her friend's residence she consumed a bottle and a half of Riesling wine. After Pondish's admission myself and Officer Gaudet stopped our conversation with her. I read Pondish her rights directly from a Miranda card and explained them in full before allowing her to continue speaking with myself and Officer Gaudet about the events of that led to the crash. Pondish stated that she understood her rights. Officer Gaudet asked Pondish if she had consumed any alcoholic beverages prior to driving home to her residence in Newton. Pondish stated that she drank a bottle and a half of Riesling wine by herself between the hours of 1700 and 0000 hours on 06/08/2019.

On 06/09/2019 I spoke to Cataldo Paramedic Robert Canning and Stephen Heirholcer who were the medic unit that transported Pondish to the Brigham and Women's Hospital. Canning stated that he rendered medical aid to Pondish for approximately 20 minutes while Fire units worked to free her. Canning stated that Pondish's legs were pinned under her vehicle's dashboard. Canning stated that during the approximately 20 minutes that he was in close proximity to Pondish he could detect a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage that was emanating from her breath and person.

Canning stated that when he asked Pondish if she had consumed any alcoholic beverage she stated that she had. Paramedic Heirholcer stated that he did not detect any odor of an alcoholic beverage emanating from Pondish's breath or person. Based upon the physical evidence at the crash scene, and statements made to officers by all of the above mentioned persons, Pondish is being charged with violation of MGLs 90/24j OUI liquor, 90/24e negligent operation of a motor vehicle, 89/4a failure to stay within marks lanes, and 90/17 speeding. On 06/12/2019 at the conclusion of the crash investigation I issued MA Criminal Application T 1269996 in hand to Pondish at her hospital room and explained to her what action she needed to take with court. On 06/11/2019 a letter of preservation was sent to Brigham and Women's Hospital requesting that a sample of Pondish's blood, urine and medical records be saved.

Opr of V1 stated he was stopped and attempting to make a left hand turn into a driveway to turn around. Opr of V1 stated he believed he was clear to make the turn. Opr of V1 stated he started to turn and that is when V2 made contact with his vehicle on the left side of the vehicle. V1 was crossing over the double-yellow line to make the turn, but was clear from on coming traffic. V1 was towed privately. Opr of V1 sustained injuries and was transported to Mt Auburn Hospital. Opr of V2 stated he was traveling straight on California. Opr of V2 stated he observed V1 stopped to the right. Opr of V2 stated he thought he was clear to pass him, but was not due to V1 abruptly making the turn. I spoke to a witness who wishes to stay anonymous. Witness stated he was cleaning his car. While cleaning his car, he heard a bang, turned around, and observed the vehicles rolling off to the side. Witness stated he observed V1 and V2 in the middle of the road and not in the lane of traffic. Based on his observations he believes the collusion happened at the yellow lines. Witness stated he heard a car driving fast before the bang. He did not see the collision, but states V2 could have been driving too fast and tried passing on the left.

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.

Operator of MV1 stated he was traveling Westbound on Washington St. attempting to merge Northbound on Washington St. and as he approached the intersection, he didn't see MV2 and collided with MV2. Operator of MV2 stated he was traveling Eastbound on Washington St. attempting to merge Northbound onto Washington St. into the center lane to travel over the bridge and through the intersection, however didn't see MV1 and collided with MV1. It should be noted MV2 had a yield sign when merging. M1 had a turning vehicles yield to pedestrian sign before entering the bridge. MV1 sustained moderate left front end damage. MV2 sustained heavy passenger side damage. Passenger in MV2 was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital for shoulder pain. Tody's responded on scene and towed MV2. A towed motor vehicle form was filled out and placed on file.

Operator of Vehicle #1 stated that he was traveling east on Beacon Street. Operator stated that he was making a right turn into the driveway of his parents home (1250 Beacon) when Vehicle #2 tried to pass him on the right. This area of Beacon Street is a one lane road in each direction with an established breakdown lane. Vehicle #2 struck Vehicle #1 on the passenger side front and middle. Vehicle #1 was then pushed back into the lane of travel on Beacon street. Vehicle #2 left the roadway and came to the rest on the sidewalk. Vehicle #2 also popped the driver side front tire. Operator of Vehicle #2 stated that he was traveling east on Beacon street behind Vehicle #1. Operator stated that Vehicle #1 had a left turn signal on and swung over the double yellow line as if he was turning left onto Warren Rd. Operator stated that he believed Vehicle #1 was making a left and therefore went around the vehicle. I again spoke with Operator #1 who stated that it was not possible for him to be making a left turn as he was well aware where the driveway to his parents house was. Operator #2 complained of bodily injury and was transported to Newton-Wellesley Hospital by Cataldo Medics. Vehicle #2 was towed from the scene by Todys.

On 3/17/20 while working N493, I responded to the intersection of Auburndale Ave and Newell Rd for an MVA car vs pedestrian. On arrival I located pedestrian Stephen Dugas DOB 8/25/50 sitting in the middle of Newell Rd bleeding profusely from the top of his head, but otherwise consious/alert. The driver of the motor vehicle (MA reg 93Y880) was still on scene. He is identified as Ali Alnamos DOB12/10/59. While the medics were tending to Dugas I obtained a statement from Alnamos. He stated that he was driving on Auburndale Ave towards Lexington St and went to turn right onto Newell Rd. Upon turning, he made contact with the pedestrian with what he believes to be his passenger side mirror. Alnamos was distraught while speaking with me, and told me that he did not see the man. It should be noted that there is a clearly marked pedestrian crosswalk on Newell Rd, right at the location of this accident. There are street lights in the vicinity and Dugas was wearing darker clothing. Medic 2 transported Dugas to St. Elizabeth's due to his head injuy. I responded to the St E's ER Department and spoke with Dugas shortly after he was transported. Dugas reports that he was out for a walk on Auburndale Ave and was heading towards Auburndale Square. He went to cross Newell Rd and was hit by a vehicle shortly after entering the crosswalk. Dugas is not sure what part of the vehicle made contact with him but states that he did not go over the hood. Newell Rd intersects Auburndale Ave only on the westbound side. Several pictures were taken of the scene and have been submitted to IT. I did not observe any damage to the vehicle involved, therefore a tow was not needed. Alnamos stated that he was not in need of medical attention. Due to Dugas' statement at the hospital, I am mailing Alnamos MA citation T2079194 for 89/11 Fail to Yield to Pedestrian in Crosswalk.

On 03/18/20 at approximately 13:01 I responded to the intersection of Winchester St and Heatherland Rd. for a two vehicle crash. Upon arrival I spoke with Newton Police Detail Officer Schaefer who was involved in the accident. Officer Schaefer was operating his own vehicle (Mass Reg#1JP123 Blue 2001 Cadillac Deville) and headed back to a paid Feeney Brothers detail. Officer Schaefer stated he was traveling due South down Winchester St. approximately 30mph when a light colored vehicle (later determined to be Mass Reg#9FG942- Grey 2010 Toyota Prius operated by Rosana Cristina Brasileiro) pulled out of the one-way Heatherland Rd, the wrong way. Officer Schaefer stated the Prius struck him on his drivers side front and rear doors causing the vehicle to crash into the curb and causing his side air bag to deploy. Officer Schaefer was wearing his seatbelt but struck his head off the interior of his vehicle. I attempted to speak with the operator of the other vehicle Rosana Brasileiro but she only spoke Portuguese. Newton Fire Department Engine #7 was also on scene and Fire Fighter Ian Moniz stated he spoke a different dialect but was able to communicate with her. Fire Fighter Moniz translated for me and I was able to ascertain that Brasileiro stated she was driving due West on Heatherland Rd(wrong way) when she didn't see the other vehicle and made contact with it. I asked Brasileiro for a License and she handed me a Brazilian Passport and stated she didn't have a license. She stated she was just visiting from Brazil and that she was operating her bosses vehicle. Brasileiro was handed Mass. Criminal Citation #T2080843 for Ch90/ Sec10- Unlicensed Operation, Ch90/ Sec 16-Operating on a one way the wrong way and Ch 89/ Sec 8-Failure to yield to the right of way. Both vehicles were towed from the scene while Officer Schaefer went with the Medics to Newton-Wellesley Hospital to get checked out. Sgt. McLean and Traffic Officer Wilson (N523) were also on scene and Officer Wilson took pictures. Sgt. McLean traveled to N.W.H. to check on Officer Schaefer. All roads mentioned/traveled on in this report are public ways in the City of Newton as they are serviced and maintained by this city.

On April 16, 2020, while assigned to WN, I took a report at the front desk for a past MVA/Bicyclist hit and run. LISTUNOV, Oleg reported that on 4/15/20, at approximately 2000 hrs, he was traveling on his bicycle Northbound on Chestnut St. approaching the intersection of Boylston St. He stated he did not stop at the stop sign due to the hill decent, at which time he was struck by MV1 on the left side and knocked to the ground. MV1 was traveling Eastbound on the Boylston St. off ramp. LISTUNOV stated MV1 stopped at the stop sign, and probably did not see him as they then proceeded straight into the intersection. LISTUNOV stated the female driver asked if he was okay and then left the scene. He wasn't able to remember any description other than a possibly yellow, orange, or light colored car. LISTUNOV then proceeded home before responding to Brigham and Women's Hospital.

I took photos of his injuries and submitted them to the IT bureau. LISTUNOV was riding a black bicycle, and was wearing black jeans, blue jacket, blue baseball hat, and no helmet.

On May 17th, 2020 at approximately 14:26 hours while working N491 I responded along with NFD and Medic One to a mv crash at the intersection of Watertown St @ CRAFT St. On my arrival both the Fire Dept. and Medics were assessing the operators of the two involved vehicles. Operator from vehicle #1 a 2014 black Jeep identified as Mark Mccullough was transported from the scene by ambulance to Newton Wellesley due to his injuries. He did give a statement prior to being transported.. He stated he was going N/B on Craft St when vehicle#2 suddenly made a left turn in the intersection towards Watertown St causing the crash. Operator of vehicle #2 reported going S/B on Craft St and was attempting to turn left onto Watertown St when vehicle #1 crashed into him in the intersection. Witness id as Eamen Keane stated he was behind vehicle #1 on Craft St when he observed vehicle #2 turn left in front of vehicle #1 causing the crash.

His vehicle was registered to him with an address of #59 Chester Ave Waltham Ma. e . He was additionally charged with operating his vehicle on a public way without being properly licensed.C90s10.Citation #T2014121. Both vehicles were towed by todys. Both drivers sustained injuries but only operator #1 went to the hospital. Operator #2 refused. All above mentioned streets are public ways and maintained by the city of Newton DPW.

Operator of MV1 stated she was traveling Westbound on Tremont Street and could not see well due to a sun glare. Operator of MV1 further stated when she approached the intersection of Tremont Street at Hibbard Road she struck a pedestrian riding a bicycle. I was able to speak with two witnesses on scene who were friends with Ms. Shokri. Both were approximately 10 feet behind her in the crosswalk before she was struck by MV1. Witness statements are documented in this report. Both parents responded on scene and were entered into this report as non-motorists. Both followed medics to Newton Wellesley Hospital. MV1 sustained moderate front end damage. Pedestrian involved suffered minor injuries and was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital. Operator of MV1 was evaluated on scene and signed a patient refusal. Due to the bicycle being moved prior to my arrival, pictures were not taken on scene. The bicycle was left off the roadway for her friends to pick up. Ms. Skokri was wearing a pink shirt, black shorts and was riding a black bicycle. Ms. Shokri was not wearing any protective equipment.

On 06/10/2020 at approximately 16:30 hours, Sgt. Lee (Unit 531) and I (Unit 523) responded to Waverley Avenue and Sargent Street for a two car motor vehicle accident that involved one vehicle rolling over and a possible head injury to that driver. The accident occurred at 16:11 hours on this date. Both streets are public ways and maintained by the City of Newton. On arrival, I observed a black Hyundai Elantra (MV1) bearing MA Reg.# 1DHN15 resting in the middle of the intersection facing eastbound on Sargent Street heading towards Kenrick Street. The vehicle had heavy front end damage. I then observed a gray Honda CRV (MV2) bearing MA Reg.# 8DZB10 rolled over resting on it's hood facing in a northeasterly direction in the southbound travel lane of Waverley Avenue just past the intersection. I observed the point of impact to be on the passenger side rear wheel area due to the damage which included a large dent above the tire well. Digital photos were taken of the scene and intersection. At this point the operator, Jose Valderrama (MA DL# S27590058), of MV2 was already transported to Beth Israel Hospital in Boston, MA for a possible head injury. The operator was also not aware of what occurred at the time by the responding officers. It was also determined by the initial responding officers (Sgt. Rooney, Ofc. Pohlman & Ofc. Anderson) that Mr. Valderrama driver's license was suspended in Massachusetts by NPD Dispatch. Next, I spoke to the operator of MV1 identified as Cora Lyden (ME DL# 8625330). Lyden states that she was traveling straight ahead (EB) on Sargent Street attempting to go straight through the intersection on to Kenrick Street. She says as she approached the intersection the signal light changed to yellow and she proceeded through when she suddenly saw MV2 coming at her. She then jammed on her brakes and then made contact with the other vehicle. She says that the other driver must have been speeding and went through the red light. Next, Sgt. Lee and I responded to Beth Israel Hospital for a follow up on Mr. Valderrama. The hospital staff stated that there were no signs of a head injury and that he was now coherent. He sustained road rash on his left arm and shoulder area due to the seatbelt and front air bag deployment. We then spoke to him and he stated that he was traveling straight ahead (SB) on Waverley Avenue at about 30 to 35 miles per hour. He says that his signal light was green when he attempted to go through the intersection and another motor vehicle made contact with him. After that, he does not recall what occurred. I asked him if he saw the other vehicle approaching and he stated that he did not see it. After at the station, I followed up with Dispatch and they stated that there was two people that called in to report the accident that they attempted to call back to see if they witnessed the event. They had since not returned their call. I then called both numbers and both parties stated that they were only notifying us and did not observe the accident occur. Due to conflicting statements by both operators and no witnesses on scene, I am unable to determine fault for the accident. Mr. Valderrama will be issued MA Uniform Citation #T2080466 for Ch. 90/S23/E Operating a Motor Vehicle after Suspension of License. Tody's towing responded and towed both vehicles. M/V inventories completed by me.

On 6/27/20 at 1742 I responded with multiple units, NFD and medics for a report of a MVA with injuries on Nahanton St. Upon arrival I observed NH Reg 4539251 wrapped around Verizon utility pole 6/15 facing eastbound on Nahanton St. The operator and the passenger behind the operator were trapped inside the vehicle. The front right passenger was able to get out of the car. Multiple witnesses stated that the vehicle was traveling WB and when it came around the bend in the road the operator lost control and spun clockwise into the pole. The vehicle ultimately rested facing the direction it came from, eastbound. NFD responded and was able to free the remaining two passengers from the vehicle. All passengers were transported to Beth Israel Boston for treatment. While on scene, I spoke with the passenger from the front seat who stated they were traveling westbound towards Needham and the operator just lost control around the bend due to the wet surface. There were no other vehicles involved in the accident, Tody's responded to tow the vehicle. Verizon was notified of their utility pole being damaged. Pictures were taken of the scene and turned over to IT to be uploaded to this report. I responded to the hospital to follow up with the occupants but was only allowed to speak with the passengers and not the operator as he was in critical condition with a broken femur and head injuries. The rear passenger stated that he didn't think his son, the operator, was going that fast but he lost control around the bend, he was suffering from neck pain and is in fair condition. The passenger in the front seat suffered minor/unknown leg injuries but hospital staff believed he would be discharged tonight.

Finamore states that she is a city of Newton employee and at the time of the crash was operating her personal vehicle (Ford Escape color Black).Finamore also stated that prior to the crash between Vehicle 1 and Vehicle 2 she observed Vehicle 2 tailgating her vehicle as she was traveling westbound on Commonwealth Ave. Finamore stated that Vehicle 2 tried to pass her several times on Commonwealth Ave and eventually made a left turn off of Commonwealth Ave on to Temple St. Finamore states that she was stopped in traffic at the intersection of Commonwealth Ave and Washington St and was located directly in front of Vehicle 1. Finamore states that she then observed Vehicle 2 located behind Vehicle 1. Finamore states that she that when she got a green signal she made a left turn onto Washington St and heard the impact of the collision between Vehicle 1 and Vehicle 2. Finamore states that she then observed in her rear view mirror Vehicle 2 drive around Vehicle 1 and make a left turn southbound onto Washington St. Finamore states that she attempted to get the registration information of Vehicle 2 however Vehicle 2 continued southbound on Washington St at a high rate of speed. Finamore states that she then followed Vehicle 2 at a safe distance and observed Vehicle 2 commit a red light violation at the intersection of Washington St and the entrance of Newton Wellesley Hospital (2014 Washington St). Finamore states that Vehicle 2 went around stopped traffic at the intersection by entering the left turn only lane to pass stopped traffic to the right. Finamore states that she then observed Vehicle 2 commit another red light violation at the intersection of Beacon St and Washington St. Finamore states that Vehicle 2 entered the left turn only lane at the intersection to pass stopped traffic to the right. Finamore states that she then lost sight of Vehicle 2 as it continued southbound on Washington St. Finamore described Vehicle 2 as a newer model Chevrolet pickup truck color white. Finamore believes that Vehicle 2 had a paper temporary plate, unknown registration number or state of registration. Finamore described the operator of Vehicle 2 as a young white male in his 20's. On 08/03/2020 I was able to view photo's of Vehicle 2 taken by witness Deb Finamore. The photo's revealed Vehicle 2's rear registration plate as 333991T. An NCIC check revealed that this registration belongs to a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado color white out of Maryland. The Maryland RMV also lists the vehicle registration as stolen. No further information was provided by the Maryland RMV. In the photo's Vehicle 2 also appears to be a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado color white. At this time I am unable to identify the operator of Vehicle 2. I called and notified the owner of Vehicle 1 Borris Partensky of my findings. Partensky will be providing this information to his insurance company.

Vehicle 1 a city of Newton Fire Engine was parked in the driveway of Newton Wellesley Hospital 2014 Washington St. Vehicle 2 was located in the driveway directly behind Vehicle 1.

On Friday, September 18, 2020, at 88update88approximately 0657 hrs, while assigned to N495, I was dispatched to the area of 1221 Centre St for a report of a MV accident. When I arrived on scene I observed a Motor Cycle (MC) laying on its side in the middle of the street. I observed a party laying on the ground, while medical personnel were tending to him. I also observed a white Honda (MV#1) pulled off to the side of Pelham St, and the operator standing next to his vehicle. Operator of MV#1 stated that as he was attempting to make a left turn off of Centre St, onto Pelham St. Operator of MV#1 stated that while he was in the middle of his turn, he observed a MC driving at a high rate of speed coming towards him. Operator of MV#1 stated that he was not able to get out of the way of the MC before it crashed into him I was not able to speak with the operator of the MC, due to him being transported to Brigham and Womens Hospital. Ofc McSweeney stated that he will be following up with the operator of the MC and will advise me.

On Friday, September 18th, 2020 at approximately 1619 hours I, Officer Newton, was dispatched to Brookline St and Spaulding Ln(both are public ways in the City of Newton) for a report of a vehicle that crossed over Brookline St and struck a tree and drove off with major front end damage. The RP was able to give a description of the vehicle as a White Audi with the license plate beginning with 8X. The RP also stated the vehicle was going down Dedham St and possibly turned down Marvin Ln. Sgt M. Wade located the vehicle, White Audi MA Reg 8XVP10, with major front end damage, parked outside of 45 Indian Ridge Rd and made contact with the operator, John Bigda. It should be noted that the house is 2 houses from Marvin Ln. Upon arrival I spoke to John. John stated he was driving his vehicle and got into an accident but it was not a big deal because he was able to drive home. John was not able to explain the details of his crash and was very evasive as to exactly what happened, just that he got into an accident because somebody cut him off. John continued to tell me multiple times nothing bad happened and everything was fine. John was very unsteady on his feet and was stumbling around and almost fell several times while I was trying to speak with him. John also had slurred speech and a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from his person that I was able to smell even though I was wearing a mask. At this time I asked John to take field sobriety tests to which he refused by saying "I'm not taking the test." The Medics arrived on scene to evaluate John. John was not able to answer their questions and the medics decided he should go to the hospital for an evaluation. However, John refused to go to the hospital. NFD arrived on scene and stated they saw tire marks and debris at the location of the crash. Ofc. Guarino went to that location to take pictures that will be added to this report. Due to the above facts and because John was almost falling over while speaking with us, he was placed under arrest for Operating Under the Influence of Liquor. John was handcuffed (D/L) and searched prior to being placed in cruiser 499. Cruiser 499 was searched before and after transport for contraband with negative results. John was booked and read his Miranda rights by Sgt M. Wade and Ofc Donovan processed him. John was handed citation T2014721 for 89/4/A Marked Lanes Violation (Driving over the double yellow line and leaving the roadway to strike the tree on Brookline St), 90/24/C Leaving the Scene of Property Damage (Hitting a city tree and causing damage), and 90/24/K (Operating Under the Influence of Liquor, 2nd Offense.. 1st offense was 11/18/2004 OUI docket 0443CR2527A CWOF ). The citation was placed with John's property. The vehicle was towed by Todys.

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.
