Narrative:
On 01/03/19 at 07:26 hours, I responded to a two car motor vehicle accident at Boylston Street and Ellis Street with one reported minor injury (headache). Operator of MV # 1 states she was exiting the Boylston Street (RT 9EB) off ramp at Ellis Street when she states that she came to a stop for the stop sign. She then inched out and thought it was clear to proceed straight through and struck MV # 2 on both passenger side doors. Operator also stated that she did not think traffic would be allowed to come from the left of her. She was advised that there is a sign below the stop sign that states that the oncoming traffic does not stop. Operator was issued MA Uniform Citation T1441046 for Ch. 89/9 Stop Sign Violation. MV # 1 sustained front end damage to the entire front but was still driveable and the operator reported no injuries. Operator of MV # 2 states she was operating straight through the Boylston Street overpass (SB) on to Ellis Street when she states that MV # 1 never stopped for the stop sign. MV # 1 then proceeded out and struck her vehicle on the passenger side. MV # 2 sustained moderate damage to both passenger side doors and was towed by Tody's towing.

Narrative:
On 1/19/19 I responded to 25 Normandy Rd for a report of a past hit and run. I spoke with the Operator of MV#1 who stated the accident had taken place in front of Tom's Pizza, 423 Lexington St, at approximately 1830 hrs. Operator of MV#1 stated she parked her vehicle in a parking spot directly in front of the restaurant and went inside. When she returned approximately 5 minutes later she realized her vehicle had been rear ended. Two witnesses provided her with information about the accident and the plate number. (See witness narratives.) MV#1 suffered moderate damage to the rear and was driven from the scene. Waltham PD responded to the address listed for MV#2 and were not able to locate the vehicle. At approximately 2000 hrs, I was contacted at the police station by the owner of MV#2's wife. After further investigation (see incident report #19002425) it was determined that the operator of MV#2 at the time of the accident was the vehicle owner's brother. I spoke with Operator of MV#2 on the phone and he stated that the road was icy and slippery due to snow and he crashed into the back of MV#1. He stated he was nervous and thought he had only hit the sidewalk curb. Operator of MV#2 was issued citation T1440626 by mail for 90/24C Leaving the Scene of Property Damage, 90/10A Unlicensed Operation and 90/24 Use of MV Without Authority. He stated the vehicle suffered minor damage to the front.

Hovhannisyan parked MA reg 1EC474 on Ash St (a northbound public one way street) just prior to Commonwealth Ave around 0800 hrs this morning. When she returned around 1000 hrs, she noticed moderate damage to the front left area of the vehicle. There was minor debris on the ground consistent with the damage I viewed. It should be noted that there are parking stalls parallel to where the vehicle was parked, with several residents of Norumbega Gardens coming and going quite frequently. It is not believed that there are cameras facing the specific area where the collision occurred. Hovhannisyan was advised to contact her insurance company.

Narrative:
On 3/1/19 while working N493, myself and N492 Officer Selig were sent to the area of 1354 Washington St for a motor vehicle accident with reported injuries. On arrival, I spoke to Matthew Digregorio DOB7/2/74 ( hereby referred to as operator #1) who was standing on the sidewalk next to MA reg 134TR9 (vehicle #1 ). Vehicle #1 had significant damage to the front and right quarter panels. It was straddled between the travel lanes and did not have the keys in the ignition. It was immediately apparent that operator #1 suffered an injury to his head, as there was a moderate amount of blood and small pieces of glass stuck in his forehead area. I observed operator #1 to be unsteady on his feet, have bloodshot eyes and slurred speech. I could detect a moderate odor of alchoholic beverage coming from operator #1 as I was approaching him, which was apparent from about an arms length away (it should be noted that medics were already en route to the scene at this time). Prior to the medics arrival, I asked operator #1 for a brief synopsis of what transpired. Operator #1 stated that he had just left Paddy's Pub and was driving westbound on Hunter St (which is approximately 1/8 mile from our location) when he collided head on with vehicle #2. Vehicle #2 was not immediately visible upon police arrival, however was pointed out as being located at the intersection of Hunter and Putnam St. I asked operator #1 where he was heading, as Hunter St is a back road not directly in the vicinity of Paddy's. Operator #1 could not answer the question and also remained silent when I asked him how much alcohol he had consumed this evening. At this time the medics arrived on scene. I asked operator #1 for the car keys to reliquish to the tow truck operator, which is standard operating practice. Operator #1 reached into his pocket and then provided me with the keys. Due to concern over operator #1's obvious head trauma, he was then transported to NWH to be evaluated while the investigation continued on scene. Two other parties approached myself and Officer Selig. One was the operator of vehicle #2, MA reg 1RD999. Operator #2 is identified as Luke Ferdinands DOB 5/11/80. The other party who approached is identified as Douglas Dasilva-Pimenta DOB 6/2/86 (Dasilva-Pimenta will now be referred to as operator #3). Operator #2 states that he was taking a right onto Hunter St from Putnam St, when he observed vehicle #1 on the wrong side of the road approaching him head on. Operator #2 states vehicle #1 then collided head on with him, took a right onto Putnam St, and continued onto the Washington St overpass near 1354 Washington St. Operator #3 states he was inside of #5 Hunter St when he heard a loud crash coming from outside. He looked out the window and saw vehicle #1 traveling at a high rate of speed on Hunter St towards Putnam St. Operator #3 observed damage to the right side of his parked vehicle (now referred to as vehicle #3) MA reg 7CAK80. He immediately got in his vehicle and proceeded to follow vehicle #1, which then crashed into vehicle #2 head on. Operator #1 did not stop until it was obvious that operator #3 was following close behind. This ultimately landed vehicle #1 at it's final location near 1354 Washington St. Vehicle #1 and vehicle #2 were not driveable and were towed to Tody's. It should be noted that there was a passenger in vehicle #2 at the time of the collision. Airbags were deployed and medics checked out both operator and passenger. Both declined transport. The passenger is identified as Elizabeth Ferdinands DOB 5/22/53.Ferdinands' version of events coincide with that of operator #2. Upon speaking with Officer Selig it was learned that operator #1 dropped his cell phone several times as he was holding it on scene. Both Officer Selig and operators #2 and #3 observed this. Operators #2 and #3 both expressed concern over the obvious odor of alcohol eminating from operator #1, and the fact that he was unsteady on his feet. I responded to NWH to follow up with operator #1 however he did not wish to speak further. He did express concern over the well being of all parties involved. Operator #1 was issued in hand the following citations: T1268426 - 90/24 OUI Alcohol, 90/24 Leaving the Scene (property damage, vehicle #2), and 90/24 Leaving the Scene (property damage, vehicle #3). T1268425 - 89/4a Marked Lanes violation. T1269216 - 90/24 Negligent Operation of a M/V (mailed after consultation with superiors) All streets mentioned are public ways in the City of Newton. 1354 Washington St will be the address used on this report and subsequent citations due to multiple locations being involved. Citations and paperwork have been placed in the prosecutor's mailbox. An immediate threat form has been filled out and faxed to Mass DOT. *Attention Police Prosecutor for blood work subpoena, if applicable*

It was also reported that the parties involved were arguing with each other. The weather at the time of the accident was cloudy and the road surface was dry. Centre Street and Wesley Street are both public ways maintained by the City of Newton. I spoke with the operator of MV1, Abdulaziz Stewart (S04075169). Stewart stated he was operating his 2017 Toyota Camry (MA: 669FM3) at the time of the accident. Stewart stated he came to a stop on Wesley Street (E) at Centre Street and was attempting to take a left turn onto Centre Street. Stewart stated there were no vehicles in the Southbound lane of Centre Street and there was a vehicle stopped in the Northbound lane of Centre Street motioning to him to take his left turn. Stewart stated as he began to start his left turn, a bicyclist crashed into the front passenger area of his vehicle. Stewart stated the bicycle had been traveling Northbound on Centre Street in the Southbound Lane. Stewart stated after the collision the bicyclist was yelling at him and called him a "Nigger". Stewart and his occupant, Miriam Stewart, reported no injuries. Miriam is a student at Bigelow Middle School. I observed minor damage to the front passenger quarter panel area of MV1. I spoke with the bicyclist involved in the accident, Timothy Murtagh (S49233464). Murtagh stated he was traveling Northbound on Centre Street on his Cannondale bicycle in the Southbound lane. Murtagh was not wearing any safety equipment while operating his bicycle (helmet) and was wearing a dark red jacket. Murtagh stated as he approached Wesley Street, MV1 "jammed on the gas" and hit him in the roadway. Murtagh stated he then fell to the ground and landed in the middle of the street. While speaking with Murtagh I told him it was reported to me by the operator of MV1 that he used a racial slur during their interaction. Murtagh acknowledged that he did and stated, "I called him a nigger". I observed moderate damage to the front wheel/rim of Murtagh's bicycle. Murtagh reported no injuries. Murtagh was advised and issued Massachusetts Uniform Citation T1443441 for Chapter 85, Section 11B (Fail to ride on the correct side of the roadway). Photos were taken at the scene and submitted to the IT Bureau. Due to the language used by Murtagh during his exchange with Stewart, Officer Rosenbaum of the Community Services Bureau was made aware of the incident for follow up.

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 07/25/19 at 10:28 hours, I responded to Centre Street and Boylston St off ramp (WB) for a two car motor vehicle accident with no injuries reported. Operator of MV1 states he was traveling straight ahead on Centre Street (NB) when he observed MV2 inching out of the Boylston Street off ramp. He was not able to stop in time and the two vehicles struck one another. I observed heavy damage to the passenger front bumper and tire area and the vehicle was towed by Tody's. Operator of MV2 states he was exiting the Boylston Street off ramp (WB) and was going to attempt a left turn on to Centre Street after stopping for the stop sign. He then slowly pulled out into the intersection due to National Grid trucks blocking his view and that is when he came in contact with MV1 on his driver's side front bumper. I observed moderate damage to the entire front bumper but the vehicle was still driveable. I did observe National Grid trucks parked at the intersection setting up to do construction work. One truck was parked on the left side of the off ramp and the other was parked on the side where the crash occurred. This did obstruct the operator of MV2's view when pulling out.

Narrative:
On Thursday, August 8, 2019, while assigned to Traffic unit N525, I responded to the area of Centre Street and Mt. Ida Street for a report of a 3 car motor vehicle crash with entrapment. The weather at the time of the crash was clear and sunny. The road surface was dry. Centre Street and Mt. Ida Street are both public ways maintained by the City of Newton. On arrival, I was updated by Sgt. Chisholm that one of the vehicles (MV3) had a female operator that was entrapped as a result of the collision. She was freed from the vehicle by the Newton Fire Department and transported to Beth Israel Hospital. Another operator (MV2) was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital with minor injuries. A third operator (MV1) remained on scene with no injuries. With the assistance of Officer Wade we conducted a survey of the crash scene. We observed a large debris field at the intersection of Centre Street and Mt. Ida Street with debris from all three vehicles. The point of impact was observed to be on Centre Street (N) before Mt. Ida Street. There were fresh scrapes in the pavement as a result of the colission. We also observed skid marks from MV1 measuring 57 feet 8 inches from the start of it's skid to the vehicles final rest MV1 crashed into the rear of MV2. The impact caused MV2 to enter the Southbound travel lane of Centre Street and crash into MV3 as it was passing by. The impact from MV2's front end crashing into MV3's driver side resulted in the operator of MV3 becoming entrapped. MV2 and MV3 came to final rest on Wesley Street (W) at Centre Street (S). The driver door of MV3 was inaccessible. The collsion resulted in air bag deployment for MV2 and MV3. I observed moderate damage to MV1's front grill/bumper area. I observed substantial damage to the front and rear of MV2 and substantial damage to the front and driver side of MV3. Tody's responded and removed MV2 and MV3 from the roadway. Photos were taken of the scene and submitted to the IT Bureau. Officer Martin of the Watertown Police Department was requested by Sgt. Lee to respond to the scene and assist with a commercial truck inspection of MV1. Officer Martin contacted Trooper Grey of the Massachusetts State Police Truck Team who also responded to assist with the truck inspection. Sgt. Lee remained with Officer Martin and Trooper Grey during the inspection. MV1 was relocated to Richardson Street for the inspection. Trooper Grey determined the truck was in compliance with all required paperwork and it passed it's mechanical inspection. MV1 was removed from the roadway by a state tow. I spoke with the operator of MV1, William Tisbert (S24792655). Tisbert stated he was operating a 2006 KW W900 Semi Truck (NH SEMI: AP2638) Northbound on Centre Street. Tisbert stated as he was approaching Mt. Ida Street, a vehicle came out of no where and he hit it. Tisbert stated there was no one in front of him and then a vehicle came off of a side street (Mt. Ida Street) and attempted to turn left in front of him to return to the side street. Tisbert stated he could not avoid hitting the vehicle. Tisbert crashed into the rear of MV2. MV2 then crossed into the opposite lane and crashed into another vehicle. Tisbert remained on scene and reported no injuries. Tisbert stated he was wearing his seatbelt at the time of the accident and was not distracted. Tisbert later admitted to crashing into the rear of MV2. I spoke with the operator of MV2, Janet Vanbuskirk (S59829146), at Newton Wellesley Hospital. Vanbuskirk stated while operating her 2004 Toyota Highlander (MA: RS 529Y), she was stopped on Centre Street (N) at Mt. Ida Street. Vanbuskirk had her left directional on and was waiting for traffic in the Southbound lane to clear to take a left turn onto Mt. Ida Street. Vanbuskirk stated MV1 crashed into the rear of her vehicle. As a result of the impact, Vanbuskirk's vehicle traveled into the opposite lane and crashed into the driver side of MV3. Vanbuskirk reported minor injuries to her neck, left arm, and right hand. I spoke with the operator of MV3, Madeleine Karolian (S23979811), at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston. Karolian stated she was operating her 2016 Toyota Prius (MA: EV5746) Southbound on Centre Street. Karolian stated MV1 crashed into MV2, and MV2 crashed into her vehicle. Karolian stated she did not have time to avoid the collision. Karolian stated she had minor injuries to her neck and chest. Karolian's vehicle had a dash cam recording at the time of the accident. I viewed the footage with her through an app on a cell phone. The footage shows MV3 traveling Southbound on Centre Street on August 8, 2019 at 1308 hours. Ahead of MV3 in the Northbound lane, MV2 is seen stopped on Centre Street before Mt. Ida Street with it's left directional activated. I observed MV1 travel Northbound on Centre Street and crash into the rear of MV2. The impact caused MV2 to enter the Southbound travel lane and crashed into the driver side of MV3. The footage then ends. A copy of the footage was emailed to my work email. The footage was then forwarded to IT Director Steve Smith to be added to the media for this report. As a result of my investigation, the operator of MV1, William Tisbert, will be cited for Newton City Ordinance Chapter 19, Section 71 (Following too closely). Massachusetts Uniform Citation T1270942 was completed and mailed to Tisbert's residence.

Narrative:
The operator of MV1 stated that he was traveling southbound on Chestnut Street, stopped at the stop sign, and then continued straight on Chestnut Street towards Needham. He then stated that MV2 came off the off ramp of Boylston Street and did not stop completely at the stop sign. MV1 subsequently t boned MV2. The operator of MV2 stated that he was exiting Boylston Street in the Eastbound off ramp. He stated that he came to a complete stop at the stop sign and began inching out when he was struck by MV1. He also stated that he observed MV1 stop at the first stop sign but believed MV1 was going to stop at another stop sign under the bridge which is why he inched out so far. Both operators were uninjured and signed patient refusals but the passenger of MV1 complained of arm and neck pain and was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital by Cataldo. Todys arrived on scene and towed MV1 as both headlights were disabled and the operator accompanied his wife to the hospital. Overall, MV1 sustained moderate damage to the front end and was towed while MV2 sustained moderate damage to the left drivers side but was able to be driven from the scene.

Narrative:
On Saturday, September 28, 2019, I responded to the intersection of Crafts Street and Albemarle Road, Newton with Sgt. Lee for a report of a motor vehicle crash involving a motorcycle with serious injury to it's operator. The weather at the time of the crash was clear and sunny. The road surface was dry. Crafts Street and Albemarle Road are both public ways maintained by the City of Newton. I spoke with the operator of MV1, Jussara Pontes (S92930243). Pontes stated she was operating a 2017 Toyota Sienna (MA: 4GX777) at the time of the crash. Pontes stated she was traveling North on Albemarle Road and came to a stop at the stop sign located at the Crafts Street intersection. Pontes stated she looked both ways and began to inch out into the roadway. Pontes stated she stopped the vehicle again and was assisting a child sitting in the 2nd row of the vehicle. Pontes stated she then turned her attention back to the roadway. Pontes stated she looked to her right and left again and did not see any vehicles in either direction. Pontes stated she proceeded to cross the intersection to continue North on Albemarle Road. Pontes stated the front bumper area of MV1 crashed into the left side of a passing motorcycle. Pontes stated the motorcycle and it's operator fell to the roadway and slid across the street to the side of the road. Pontes stated she pulled her vehicle over onto Albemarle Road. Pontes stated she did not see the motorcycle prior to the crash and was not distracted. The operator of the motorcycle (MV2), Irene Pistoftzian (S06099449) was transported to Brigham and Women's Hospital with a serious left leg injury prior to my arrival. I observed a red 1990 Kawasaki ZR550 (MA MCN: 1V1063) resting on it's right side on the NE sidewalk area of Albemarle Road at Crafts Street with it's front wheel/handlebar facing Crafts Street. The motorcycle had moderate damage to it's left side from the impact of MV1 crashing into it. The right side of the motorcycle had damage from sliding on the roadway and the crashing into a fence on the sidewalk on Crafts Street (W) at Albemarle Road. There was also damamge to the front headlight/right handlebar area. The motorcycle and Toyota Sienna were towed from the scene by Tody's towing at Sgt. Lee's request. Pictures were taken of the scene and submitted to the IT Bureau. I spoke with Pistoftzian at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston on Monday, September 30, 2019. Pistoftzian stated she was operating her motorcycle on Crafts Street (W). Pistoftzian stated as she approached the intersection of Crafts Street and Albemarle Road, she observed a mini van to her left out of her peripheral. Pistoftzian stated she remembers being hit on her left side and then laying on the roadway looking up at the sky on the sidewalk with her head facing Albemarle Field. Pistoftzian stated as a result of the crash she has a significant injury to her left leg and also has an injury to her left wrist/arm. Pistoftzian stated she was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash. I spoke with Kymberley Mitchell via telephone who stated she witnessed the crash. Mitchell stated she was traveling behind the motorcycle involved in the crash on Craft Street (W) at North Street. Mitchell stated they were stopped at a red light at this time. Mitchell stated there were no vehicles in front of the motorcycle at the light. Mitchell stated the light turned green and they continued on Crafts Street at a low rate of speed. Mitchell stated she could see ahead at the intersection of Albemarle Street and Crafts Street, traffic was stopped on Crafts Street (E) letting traffic exit Albemarle Road (N). Mitchell stated vehicles were taking left and right turns out of Albemarle Road before the motorcycle reached the intersection. Mitchell stated a mini van was crossing past the double yellow line of Crafts Street to continue straight when it crashed into the left side of the motorcycle. I spoke with Cheryl Wermer via telephone who stated she witnessed the crash. Wermer stated she was traveling on Crafts Street (E) towards Albemarle Road. Wermer stated traffic ahead of her was stopped to allow vehicles to turn off of Albemarle Road. Wermer stated she observed a motorcycle traveling towards her on Crafts Street (W). Wermer stated she then saw a vehicle travel straight from Albemarle Road across Crafts Street and crash into the motorcycle. Wermer stated the operator of the motorcycle flew off the bike. Wermer stated the car then came to a stop and the driver got out and stated "Oh my god! I didn't see you!" Wermer stated both vehicles were traveling at a low rate of speed prior to the crash. I spoke with Bill Frabizio via telephone who stated he witnessed the crash. Frabizio stated he was behind the mini van (MV1) on Albemarle Road prior to the crash. Frabizio stated the vehicle in front of him began to cross the intersection as he was monitoring the traffic on to take a right turn onto Crafts Street. Frabizio stated he heard a loud "Boom" and saw a motorcycle slide across the street with its operator. Frabizio stated the motorcycle crashed into a fence post and the operator came off the motorcycle. Frabizio stated he pulled over and assisted operator of the motorcycle. After concluding my investigation, the operator of MV1, Jussara Pontes, was mailed Massachusetts Uniform Citation T2016424 for Newton City Ordinance Chapter 19, Section 75 (Failure To Use Care).

Narrative:
On August 13th, 2020, while working in marked unit N526, I responded to a 2 car MVA involving pedestrians at the intersection of Beacon Street and Chestnut Street, Newton. The weather at the time of the crash was clear and sunny. The road surface was dry. Beacon Street and Chestnut Street are both public ways maintained by the City of Newton. The operator of MV1, Maria Dinapoli (S92626906), stated she was operating her 2018 Toyota Corolla ( MA REG: 1KNW71) heading west on Beacon Street and had the green light at the intersection of Chestnut Street. Dinapoli stated she was traveling straight through the intersection when MV2 which was traveling east on Beacon Street at the time cut infront of her vehicle to take a left turn onto Chestnut Street. Dinapoli stated she applied her brakes but was unable to stop in time and made contact with MV2. The impact of the crash caused MV1 to drive over the curb and onto the sidewalk where it made light contact with a baby stroller with a 1 year old inside. MV1 also struck and damaged a Newton Fire Department box that was located on the sidewalk. The baby stroller was being operated by the mother identified as Anna Gilman (S11328154). The pedestrians reported no injuries and signed patient refusals with Medic 2. MV1 sustained moderate front end damage and was towed from the scene by Todys. Dinapoli also reported no injuries and signed a patient refusal with Medic 2. The operator of MV2, Leena Dolabany (S12410136), stated she was operating her 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee (MA REG: 1TCZ14) heading east on Beacon Street and had the green light at the intersection of Chestnut Street. Dolabany stated she was in a line of cars in traffic waiting to take the left turn onto Chestnut Street. Dolabany stated as the cars infront of her continued through the intersection she took a left onto Chestnut Street and as she was already into the turn she was struck by MV1. MV2 sustained moderate damage to the passenger side panel. Dolabany reported no injuries and signed a patient refusal by Medic 2. A query of all vehicles and parties involved through dispatch determined that MV2 was revoked for insurance. After speaking with the operator I was informed that MV2 had recently switched insurance agencies and Dolabany was able to provide paperwork from Geico Insurance stating the vehicle was insured. Due to the registry not displaying a valid registration, MV2 was towed from the scene by Todys. I advised Dolabany to contact her insurance company and advise them to update their information with the registry so she can retrieve the vehicle. Photographs of the scene and damage to city property were taken by Officer Wilson and submitted to the IT Bureau. On August 14th, 2020 I spoke with the operator of MV2, Leena Dolabany and her father George Dolabany in the front lobby of the police station. They provided paperwork from Geico Insurance that stated the vehicle was infact insured at the time of the accident and that there was an error made by the Registry of Motor Vehicles. Sgt. Devine and I advised them that we have to use the Registry's database for our investigation and because it still states the vehicle is revoked for insurance we can not release the license plates. Sgt. Devine advised them they could get another tow company to come and take custody of the vehicle but the plates will be seized until the registry shows an active status on the registration. I issued Mass uniform citation T2017328 in hand to Leena and advised her she will be summoned for a hearing for the following violations; Ch 90 section 34J Operating MV without insurance and Ch 90 section 9 Unregistered MV.

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 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. Harriet stated she has a hematoma on her head and recieved three stiches. Harriet also stated she has small abrasions on both hands.

Next, she states she was looking towards the right for oncoming traffic and thought it was clear to proceed both ways when she made contact with M/V # 2 in the intersection. I observed moderate damage to the driver's side front quarter panel area/bumper but the vehicle was still driveable. Operator of M/V# 2 states he was traveling straight ahead northbound on Chestnut Street at Boylston Street. He says that he believes M/V # 1 stopped for the stop sign but was inching out in to the intersection. He says that once she came out he attempted to apply his brakes to no avail and the two made contact. I observed moderate damage to the front passenger side quarter panel/bumper area but the vehicle was still driveable. As a result of the accident and the fact that the operator entered the intersection when it was not clear to proceed, I issued the Operator of M/V# 1 MA Uniform Citation# T2015936 for Ch. 89/9 Failure to Stop for Stop Sign.
