At approximately 1425HRs on Wednesday, November 24, 2021, I was dispatched to a motor vehicle crash, which took place on Nahanton St., between number 293 and Winchester St. Upon arrival, I observed MV1 to be facing eastbound in the westbound travel lane. It had its passenger's side front bumper contacting the passenger's side front bumper of MV3 and MV2 was off of the roadway, to the left of MV1's front driver's side. MV1: I noted damage to its front driver's side bumper, head light, fender, hood area and flat tire. On MV1's front passenger's side, I noted damage to its bumper, head light, fender and hood area. MV2: I noted damage to its front driver's side bumper, head light, fender, hood area and flat tire. MV3: I noted damage to its front passenger's side bumper. Upon speaking with the operator of MV1, they stated they were traveling eastbound on Nahanton St. At this time, they began to retrieve something from their bag on the passenger's seat. They then crossed MV 1 over the center yellow divider lines and struck MV2 and MV3. Upon speaking with the operator of MV2, they stated the last thing they remember is that they were traveling westbound on Nahanton St. and then that their vehicle was traveling backwards; They do not remember the crash. Upon speaking with the operator of MV3, they stated they were traveling westbound on Nahanton St. when MV1 crossed over the center yellow divider lines at a high rate of speed. They observe MV1 crash into MV2, pushing it backwards and to the side. MV1 then continued forward and impacted MV3. The operator of MV1 received a ride from their father, after signing a patient refusal. Newton Medics transported the operator of MV2 to the hospital. And the operator of MV3 was able to drive their vehicle away, after signing a patient refusal. Both MV1 and MV2 were removed by the scene by Todys Services (NPD Towed Motor Vehicle Form Filled). I cleared without further incident.

On Tuesday November 30, 2021 at approx. 0857 hours I responded to the area of Chestnut Street and Ellis Street for a report of a two motor vehicle crash with unknown injuries. Upon arrival on scene Medics and Fire personnel were rendering aid to all operators / occupants, due to the location of the crash additional units were requested on scene to divert traffic. Operator of vehicle one Ms. Kim, stated she stopped at the stop sign. She stated her vision was obstructed with a truck that was parked on the northeast corner of Chestnut Street / Winter Street.. She stated she accelerated forward looking south and north. She stated she was going through the intersection when vehicle two traveling southbound had struck her vehicle. Operator of vehicle two Mr. Lafaiete-Gheringer stated he was traveling south on Chestnut Street when vehicle one traveled west from Winter Street through the intersection and struck his vehicle. After Medic evaluations on Ms. Kim and her child Ariela Seok, she signed patient refusal's with no reported injuries at this time. Mr. Lafaiete-Gheringer was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital for a minor laceration on his head due to impact, non life threatening. Todys towing of 1354 Washington Street arrived on scene and towed both vehicles to their tow lot. Towed inventory sheets were completed. All parties advised of the process and I advised them my contact information. After reviewing the crash site area, possible obstructions and a safer way for vehicular and pedestrian traffic, I am recommending a stop sign be placed on the southbound lane Chestnut Street just prior to Ellis Street. In addition Mr. Lafaiete-Gheringer has an active registration without a Massachusetts license with an effective date of August 16, 2021. He currently has an active California License, with an California address. Therefore I am issuing and mailing Mr. Lafaiete-Gheringer MA citation number T1445575(warning) for Chapter 90 Section 26a Failure to notify registry of his license address change.
