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.

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.

Narrative:
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.

Narrative:
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.

Narrative:
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.

Narrative:
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.

Narrative:
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.

Narrative:
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.

Narrative:
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.

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.

Narrative:
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.

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.

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.

Narrative:
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.

Narrative:
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.

Narrative:
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.

MV3 had minor rear end damage. The operator of MV1 was brought to Newton Wellesley Hospital by Cataldo medics. The operator of MV2 stated she was on Pamela Ct attempting to take a left onto Commonwealth Ave. There was heavy traffic headed westbound and a vehicle stopped to let MV2 go. As MV2 was taking a left onto Commonwealth Ave, MV1 was traveling westbound in the eastbound lane around traffic and struck MV2. MV2 then in turn struck MV3s rear end. The operator of MV3 stated that he wasn't sure what occurred because the accident was behind him. The operator of MV1 stated she was traveling westbound on Commonwealth Ave and was planning on taking a left into the Star Market parking lot which was approximately 250 feet down the street. She stated she thought there were two lanes in the westbound direction at that point in the roadway. MV2 then pulled out in front of her and they collided. Two witnesses who were traveling westbound in traffic a few vehicles behind MV3 both stated that MV1 drove erratically into the oncoming lane and around traffic heading westbound. One witness stated "the car was almost completely in the opposite lane" and the other witness agreed. A moment later they stated they heard the crash but did not see it.

Narrative:
On Tuesday, April 16, 2019 while assigned to Traffic unit N525, I responded to the area of Plymouth Road and Cochituate Road, Newton for a report of a motor vehicle/pedestrian accident involving a City of Newton vehicle. The weather at the time of the accident was clear and sunny. The road surface was dry. Plymouth Road and Cochituate Road are both public ways maintained by the City of Newton. The injured pedestrian, Officer Steven Emmanuel, was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital prior to my arrival on scene. I spoke with the operator of MV1, Officer Justin Lau. Lau stated he was on duty in his official capacity as a Newton Police Officer while operating a City of Newton owned 2018 Ford Fusion (MA: 9PYM80, Newton PD #1319). Lau stated he was parked on Plymouth Road (N) at Cochituate Road and was speaking with Officer Steven Emmanuel. Lau stated Emmanuel was standing next to the front driver side door area of his vehicle in the roadway. Lau stated a large delivery trucked approached their location on Plymouth Road from Woodward Street and was attempting to make a right turn onto Cochituate Road. Lau stated Emmanuel directed him to back his vehicle up so the delivery truck could get by their location. Lau stated he cut the wheel of the vehicle he was operating to the right; and very slowly began to back up from his location. Lau stated he was attempting to back the vehicle up to get closer to the curbing and out of the roadway. Lau stated as the vehicle was in motion the front driver side wheel made contact with Emmanuel's left foot. Emmanuel's left foot subsequently became lodged in the front driver side wheel well area. Emmanuel fell to the ground in obvious pain. Emmanuel directed Lau to pull the vehicle forward in an effort to release his foot. Emmanuel's foot was freed and NPD Dispatch was notified of the accident. Pictures were taken of MV1 and submitted to the IT Bureau. I observed no damage to the front driver tire area. I spoke with Officer Steve Emmanuel in the Newton Wellesley Hospital emergency room where he was being evaluated for a left foot injury. Emmanuel stated at the time of the accident he was working a paid detail for Paramount Pictures on Plymouth Road in his official capacity as a Newton Police Officer. Emmanuel stated he was speaking with Officer Lau on Plymouth Road at Cochituate Road. Emmanuel was standing in the street on his post and Lau was sitting in MV1 (parked). Emmanuel stated a Fed Ex delivery truck approached their location in the roadway and was attempting to get by them. Emmanuel stated Lau began to back his vehicle up in an effort to get out of the way of the delivery truck. Emmanuel stated the front driver side tire of MV1 ran over his left foot. After the tire ran over his foot, it then became lodged in the wheel well and he fell to the ground. Emmanuel stated his foot was freed from the vehicle and he was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital by Newton Medics for further evaluation.

Narrative:
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 she witnessed the motorcycle travel southbound on Centre Street and pass the vehicles stopped in the traffic lane. 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. Centre Street and Bowen Street are both public ways maintained by the City of Newton. 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. Officer Clements stated he suffered a brain bleed, head, back, left foot and right thumb injuries. A Massachusetts Uniform Citation was issued and mailed to Helen for Chapter 89 Section 7A, failure to yield to emergency vehicle, police motorcycle.

Narrative:
On 05/20/2018 at 17:30 hours I was notified by Captain Anastasia of a motor vehicle crash involving car, and an electric scooter. Captain Anastaisa stated that the operator of the scooter was a 12 year old male who had sustained unknown injures and had been transported to Boston Children's Hospital via ambulance. Upon my arrival at the crash scene I made the following observations, Putnam and Winthrop streets are public ways in the city of Newton that are two way single lane non divided roadways. The roadway surface was wet from rain earlier in the day. Putnam St runs north to south and Winthrop St runs east to west. There is a stop sign at the end of Winthrop St at Putnam St. I observed MA reg 54MN41 a 2005 Buick LeSabre stopped in the south bound lane of Putnam St approximately 1/2 of the way into the intersection with Winthrop St. I observed approximately three feet of skid marks from the Buick's rear tires. I also observed at the crash scene a Segway Ninebot electric scooter that was on the ground near the Buick(cid:31)s rear passenger side door with its handlebars detached. I spoke with the operator of the Buick, Robert DeSouza who stated that on 05/20/2019 at approximately 16:50 hours he was driving south bound on Putnam St at approximately 25 miles per hour. DeSouza stated that he saw a man, later identified as Jose Estabil standing on the east sidewalk of Putnam St facing Winthrop St who was yelling and waving his arms at something on Winthrop St. DeSouza stated he looked to his right towards Winthrop St and his view was obstructed by a row of hedges. DeSouza stated that as he was looking to his right he began to apply his vehicle's brakes when he saw someone coming at me ". DeSouza stated that he heard a crashing noise from the rear passenger's side of his vehicle. DeSouza stated that he stopped his vehicle after the crash and saw a boy lying on the ground at the rear passenger side of his vehicle. DeSouza stated that he was not injured in the crash. DeSouza's vehicle had minor damage to its rear passenger side door, and did not require a tow. Witness Charlotte Hart stated that at approximately 16:30 hours on 05/19/2019 she was diving south bound on Winthrop St. Hart stated that she had to stop short on Putnam St to avoid a crash " with a boy on a scooter that was racing around on Winthrop St. " Hart sated that she told the boy on the scooter that he should not be ridding the scooter in the street. Witness Jose Estabil stated that he was walking on the east side walk of Putnam St across from Winthrop St. Estabil stated that he saw a boy an electric scooter on Winthrop St approaching Putnam St. Estabil stated that he saw DeSouza's vehicle driving south bound on Putnam St approaching Winthrop St. Estabil stated that the boy on the scooter made no effort to stop, slow or avoid the crash with DeSouza's vehicle. Witness Laurel Fransworth stated that she was driving north on Putnam St approaching Winthrop St when she saw the crash occur. Farnsworth stated a boy on an electric scooter on Winthrop St crash into the rear passenger side door of DeSouza's vehicle. Fransworth stated that she believed that the row of hedges at the end of Winthrop St obstructed DeSouz's vehicle. Rowan Delaney ( 02/27/2007 ) stated that on 05/20/2019 at approximately 16:00 hours he and his fellow F.A. Day Middle School student Thiaugo Rubino ( 03/04/2007 ) were having a race around the area of Winthrop St, Putnam St and Shawn St. Delaney stated that he was on foot running on sidewalks while Rubino was on an electric Ninebot Segway scooter. Delaney stated that Rubion was not wearing a helmet or any other safety equipment. I spoke with Delaney(cid:31)s father Royston Delaney, who stated that the scooter was his and that he was unaware that Rubino was using his scooter, and that he has never seen him ridding it before. Royston Delaney stated that the scooter is battery powered and has a maximum speed of 19 MPH. Royston Delaney stated that his son told him that only Rubino was ridding the scooter. Rubino was transported via ambulance to Boston Children(cid:31)s Hospital. On 05/20/2019 Rubino underwent surgery for a brain bleed. I spoke with Rubion(cid:31)s mother Sonia Rubino who stated that as of 05/21/2019 her son was under observation and in addition to the brain surgery her son had a broken arm, broken leg and a broken back. Based upon witnessed statements and my observations of the crash area I believe that Rubion was at fault for the cause of this crash. Myself and Officer Helms took photos of the crash area and the disks were turned over to the NPD(cid:31)s IT bureau for downloading.

Narrative:
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. Officer Gaudet asked Pondish how large the bottles of wine was that she drank, and she stated that they were average size. Officer Gaudet asked Pondish how she perceived her state of being was after consuming a bottle and a half of wine. Pondish stated that she felt " buzzed " . Pondish stated that she left her friend's residence in Norton at approximately 0100 hours on 06/08/2019 to return to her residence in Newton. Pondish stated that she does recall the events leading up to the crash, except that she tried to make a phone call but the person did not pick up. Pondish stated that her seat belt was on and that she was not texting while operating her vehicle. Pondish stated that her injuries consisted of a broken left elbow and internal injures to her intestines. 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 once Pondish was freed he continued to treat and monitor her during the transport to the Brigham and Women's Hospital. 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. On 06/12/2019 Brigham and Women's Hospital confirmed that a sample of Pondish's blood had been preserved. As of 06/12/2019 a search warrant for Pondish's blood sample was pending. Photos of the involved vehicles and of the crash scene were taken and downloaded by the NPD's IT Bureau. Both involved vehicles were towed from the crash scene and towed motor vehicle forms were filled out. An Iphone and backpack belonging to Pondish were taken from her vehicle for safekeeping and returned to her on 06/11/2019. A copy of this report was faxed to the MA RMV Driver Control Unit to request an immediate threat suspension.

Narrative:
Operator of vehicle one, Benjamin Beaver stated that while driving south bound near 321 Walnut St his vehicle ( MA reg 551DK8 2014 Lexus ) made contact with a pedestrian in a marked crosswalk. Walnut St is a public way in the city of Newton. Beaver stated that he did not see the pedestrian prior to the crash and that his vehicle was travailing approximately 5 to 10 MPH. Beaver stated that the pedestrian was knocked to the ground but got up and walked around. The pedestrian, NNHS student Benjamin Donovan stated that he was crossing east to west in the marked crosswalk in front of 321 Walnut St. Donovan stated that he saw Beaver's vehicle approaching him at approximately 5 to 10 MPH. Believing that Beaver was stopping to let him cross , Donovan stated that he held up his left hand to signal to Beaver that he was going to cross. Donovan stated that Beaver's vehicle struck him on his left side and knocked him to the ground. Donovan stated that he had minor scrapes on his right side as a result of falling to the ground. Donovan stated that he did not lose consciousness and was transported via EMS to Newton Wellesley Hospital for treatment. I took photos of Beaver's vehicle and forward the disk to NPD IT Bureau. I issued Beaver MA Citation T 1269995 and cited him for a violation of MGL Ch 89 C 11, failure to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk. On 06/12/2019 I was forwarded an E-mail from Capt Anastasia of a video of the crash that was taken from a camera that was mounted on the roof of 321 Walnut St. The video shows Donovan walking into the marked crosswalk from the east side of Walnut St and hold up his left had to Beaver's on oncoming vehicle. Beaver vehicle appears to be travailing faster than the 5 to 10 MPH that Beaver believed that he was travailing. The video shows that Beaver did not brake until Donovan was struck and landed on his vehicles hood. Donovan was thrown approximately 10 feet from Beaver's vehicle and landed on his right side on the roadway. The video shows Beaver stopping and pulling to the side of the roadway after the crash.

Narrative:
On Thursday, January 23, 2020 while assigned to Traffic unit N525, I responded to the intersection of Brookline Street and Hartman Road, Newton for a report of a motor vehicle/pedestrian crash involving a City of Newton Crossing Guard. The weather at the time of the crash was overcast. The road surface where the crash took place was dry. Brookline Street and Hartman Road are both public ways maintained by the City of Newton. On arrival, the injured pedestrian was in the process of being transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital with minor injuries. I spoke with the operator of the vehicle involved in the crash, Menachem Uminer (S43996134). Uminer stated he was operating his vehicle on Brookline Street (S) towards Hartman Road. Uminer stated he was stopped in traffic on Brookline Street prior to the crash. Uminer stated the vehicle in front of him proceeded to travel straight from it's stopped position and he then began to follow the traffic on Brookline Street. Uminer stated he did not see anyone in the vicinity of his vehicle as he began to travel straight from his stopped position. Uminer stated as he was traveling by Hartman Road, the front passenger side area of his vehicle made contact with a pedestrian on the right side of Brookline Street at Hartman Road. Uminer stated he did not see this party until after they were struck and he then proceeded to pull his vehicle over. Uminer stated he was operating his vehicle at a very low speed at the time the collision took place. After speaking with Uminer, I observed the white 2017 GMC Yukon (MA: 9NX525) involved in the crash parked on Brookline Street (S) just past Hartman Road. Uminer stated the vehicle had been moved after the collision took place. I observed no obvious damage to the body of the vehicle on the front passenger side area where the collision took place. The front passenger door mirror was folded inward towards the door. Uminer stated he believes the front passenger door mirror was the point of contact between his vehicle and the pedestrian. I spoke with a witness to the crash, Ashley Garcia (S94193596). Garcia stated she was attempting to cross Brookline Street at Spaulding Lane. Garcia stated she entered the marked crosswalk and was a few steps into Brookline Street when a black colored vehicle traveling on Brookline Street (N) slammed on its brakes near the crosswalk. Garcia stated she looked to her left at the vehicle and then heard a thud to the right from the area where the crossing guard was standing near Hartman Road. Garcia stated she looked over and saw a crossing guard on the roadway on Brookline Street (S) at Hartman Road. The injured pedestrian involved in the crash is Cassandra Alexander (S23636307). Alexander is a crossing guard for the City of Newton and is assigned to the intersection of Brookline Street and Hartman Road for the Memorial Spaulding school crossings. This crash occurred while Alexander was performing her official duties. Alexander was wearing her department issued yellow reflective jacket at the time of the crash. I spoke with Alexander at Newton Wellesley Hospital where she was being treated for her injuries. Alexander stated she was performing her duties as a crossing guard at the intersection of Brookline Street and Hartman Road. Alexander stated she had just finished crossing two pedestrians in the marked crosswalk on Hartman Road when observed a pedestrian enter the crosswalk on Brookline Street at Spaulding Lane. Alexander stated she began to enter the intersection of Brookline Street at Hartman Road with her hands up and her department issued yellow reflective jacket on in an effort to stop traffic in the area to allow the pedestrian in the marked crosswalk safely cross. Alexander stated she was struck on her left side by a passing vehicle. Alexander stated she did not see the vehicle and fell to the roadway. Alexander stated as she was falling to the roadway she extended her right arm in an effort to brace her fall. Alexander stated she had injuries to her arms and legs and was sore from the collision. I spoke with a second witness to the crash via telephone, Anand Vaidya (S43996134). Vaidya stated he was stopped in traffic behind MV1 on Brookline Street (Southbound). Vaidya stated he observed the vehicle in front of MV1 proceed straight on Brookline Street after being stopped in traffic. Vaidya stated he then observed MV1 proceed straight on Brookline Street at Hartman Road at a low rate of speed. Vaidya estimated the speed of MV1 at this time to be 5 miles per hour. Vaidya stated a crossing guard was on the right side of the roadway on Brookline Street at Hartman Road wearing a yellow and black reflective jacket and snow pants. Vaidya stated the crossing guard had her back towards him and MV1, and extended her arm out to stop traffic. Vaidya stated at this time MV1 rolled by the crossing guard at a low rate of speed and the front right fender area of the vehicle hit the left rear leg/lower back area of the crossing guard. Vaidya stated the crossing guard bounced off of the car and fell to the roadway. Vaidya stated he believes MV1 was unaware he hit the crossing guard and observed the vehicle travel another 10 feet until it came to stop on Brookline Street. Vaidya stated the crossing guard was not in a marked crosswalk at the time of the crash. After speaking with all parties involved, Uminer will be cited with Massachusetts Uniform Citation T0115905 for Chapter 90, Section 14 (Failure to slow for a pedestrian in the roadway). Photos were taken of the vehicle and scene and submitted to the IT Bureau.

Before leaving the crash site, I tested the crosswalk lights and they were in working order. Based upon my observations of the crash site, Wint's vehicle, and the statements made to me, I concluded that Wint was at fault for this crash. I issued Wint MA Citation T 2013958 and cited him for a violation of MGL 89/11 , failure to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk.

Narrative:
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.

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.

Narrative:
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.

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.

Narrative:
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.

Narrative:
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.

Narrative:
Vehicle 1 was stopped in traffic on Commonwealth Ave at the intersection of Washington St. Both Commonwealth Ave and Washington St are public ways in the City of Newton. Vehicle 1 was located in the left turn lane of the westbound side of Commonwealth Ave. Vehicle 2 was located westbound side of Commonwealth Ave in the left turn lane. Vehicle 2 was located directly behind Vehicle 1. Vehicle 2 then moved forward colliding with the rear of Vehicle 1. Vehicle 2 then drove around Vehicle 1 and made a left hand turn on to Washington St from the center lane of Commonwealth Ave. Vehicle 2 left the area without leaving any identifying information. As a result of the impact Vehicle 1 sustained damage to the rear bumper. Since Vehicle 2 left the scene the damage to Vehicle 2 is unknown. No injuries were reported on scene, no transports were required. No tows were required. The operator of Vehicle 1 identified as Borris Partensky stated that he was stopped in traffic in the left turn only lane of Commonwealth Ave westbound awaiting the red light. Partensky stated that he was then rear ended by Vehicle 2. Partensky stated that he then got out of this vehicle and signaled to the operator of Vehicle 2 to stop. Partensky stated that Vehicle 2 did not stop, quickly drove around Vehicle 1 and made a left hand turn from the center lane of Commonwealth Ave on to Washington St. Partensky described the operator of Vehicle 2 as a white male in his early 20's with dark hair. Partensky described Vehicle 2 as a newer model Chevrolet Silverado Pickup color white with a paper temporary license plate. Partensky states that the license plate may have started with the numbers "33" and ended with "IT". The state of the license plate is unknown. Partensky stated that his vehicle is a Tesla which has the ability to take photographs. Partensky states he will download the images and send them to me. I also spoke to witness Deb Finamore. 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.

On August 19th, 2020, while working in marked unit N526, I responded to a MVA vs. bicyclist in the area of the intersection of Crafts Street and Watertown Street, Newton. The weather at the time of the crash was clear and cloudy. The road surface was dry. Crafts Street and Watertown Street are both public ways maintained by the City of Newton. The operator of MV1, Cody Hjelm (NHL19517660), stated he was traveling westbound on Watertown Street and had just crossed over Crafts Street when he saw a bicyclist traveling in the same direction on Watertown Street. As MV1 approached the bicyclist he moved over to the left towards the double yellow lines to give the bicyclist room. MV1 states the bicyclist was no longer in front of his vehicle when he heard a thud type noise come from the side of his van. MV1 stated he pulled over and saw the bicyclist on the ground with a head injury. MV1 sustained moderate damage to the right passenger side of the vehicle. The operator of MV1 reported no injuries and signed a patient refusal. MV1 was able to leave the scene of the accident. The bicyclist identified as Harriet Fell (S04980771) was being treated by medics on scene at the time of my arrival. I spoke with her briefly inside the ambulance as she was being treated for a head injury. Harriet stated she has no recollection of the accident and does not remember what happened before or after the crash. Medics advised she was being taken to NWH for treatment. I spoke with Harriet on the telephone around 1630 hours. She stated she still does not remember what happened but stated she was just finishing her forty mile bike ride and was heading home.

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.

Narrative:
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.
