Narrative:
On January 1, 2019 at approximately 02:18 hours I, Officer Guarino, responded to 78 Vine St. for a hit and run. I spoke to the operator of MV1, who told me that he was driving Eastbound on Vine St, he turned on his left directional and began to pull into his driveway at 78 Vine St. The operator of MV 2 attempted to pass MV 1 on the left hand side crashing into MV1. MV2 put the vehicle in reverse and left the scene. The operator of MV1 said that the front bumper of MV2 had fallen off in the collision with MA License plate 4KZ917 still attached. The owner of that vehicle lives in Boston, so Boston Police were notified. I attempted to make contact with the owner of MV 2 with negative results. Update January 1, 2019 16:15 hours: I was able to contact the owner of MV2, who admitted that she was the operator of the vehicle and that she was in the vehicle alone. The operator of MV2 said that the operator of MV1 was driving very slow and stopped in the right lane so she attempted to pass the vehicle. MV1 began turning and MV2 struck MV1. The operator of MV 1 said that she was nervous and left the scene because her phone died and attempted to contact the Newton Police in the morning. I am mailing citation T1441275 to Cecelia Spangenberg for MGL90/24C, leaving the scene of property damage. Photographs of the bumper have been submitted to IT to be attached to this report. The license plate was logged into evidence and placed into property and evidence locket #8.

Narrative:
The operator of MV#1 stated she was travelling northbound on Walnut St attempting to make a left turn onto Hull St when her front passenger mirror was struck by MV#2 who was travelling northbound on Walnut St. The operator of MV#1 stated the operator of MV#2 must have known their vehicles made contact because he stopped momentarily, looked at her and drove away at a high rate of speed. The operator of MV#2 was described as a white male in his 40's. The registration for MV#2 was 7KX977. There were no reported injuries to the operator of MV#1 or its passenger. There were no visible damages to MV#1. A query of MV#2 (MA REG 7KX977) showed that it is registered to a female party out of a Newton MA address. I was able to speak to the registered owner of MV#2 and she stated that her husband was driving her vehicle this morning and gave me his cell phone. I spoke to the husband (Operator of MV#2) and he verified that he was travelling northbound on Walnut St earlier this morning but was unaware that he had made contact with any other vehicles on the road. I examined the driver's side mirror of MV#2 and did not observe any visible damages. The operator of MV#2 was forthcoming with his statements. There were no reported injuries to the operator of MV#2. Based on the statements made to me I advised all parties involved that this accident will be documented.

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 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.

Leary was crossing Needham St southbound at the corner of the property between Stop and Shop and Jiffy Lube. She states that she was 1/4 of the way across the street when she was struck by MV1. The left side of her body(arm, hip) struck the right side of the MV. She fell to the ground. MV1 states that he was pulling out of the Stop and Shop driveway to turn right onto Needham St. He saw the pedestrian next to the snow bank on the right side of the driveway as he approached the end of the driveway. When he got to the end he did not see her anymore and assumed she had continued walking west on Needham St. He then turned right and felt the collision and then he saw her. He immediately pulled into the Jiffy Lube lot to check on her. I took pictures of the scene and the MV. They were TOT IT. After further investigation, on 2/7 the operator was cited for 90/14 failure to stop for pedestrian. I spoke with Kenneth via phone and advised him of the update. The citation was mailed to him. I am charging for 90/14 failure to stop for a pedestrian. On Wednesday February 6, the operator information of this report was ammended to show the correct operator information.

Narrative:
On 01/31/19 at 10:39 hours, I responded to the parking lot of the Jewish Community Center located at 333 Nahanton Street for a motor vehicle hit and run accident. The parking lot is accessible to the public and designed for vehicles to travel to and from the JCC. Owner of M/V 1 states she was parked on the side of the handicapped parking stall thinking it was ok to park there. She then ran in to the JCC for approximately one minute and when she returned she observed her driver's side front door was struck. I observed significant damage to the door frame and the door would not close. The owner called for a private tow to remove the vehicle. The staff at the JCC stated that a Martha Bixby gave her number and stated that she observed a black colored car with MA reg. # 934HH4 strike M/V 1. I attempted to call the number and left a message. The listing for that plate comes back to a 2010 Lexus ES350 color gray. I was then showed the video surveillance from the JCC's cameras and it shows an older white female exiting the lobby wearing a winter hat and carrying a bag with purple flower designs on it. She then walks through the lot and enters a gray Lexus ES350. The Lexus then starts backing out of the spot. The Lexus then continues backwards in to the other side of the parking stalls and strikes M/V 1 on the driver's side front door. The Lexus then pulls forward and leaves the scene without stopping or providing her information. As the Lexus is leaving, you can see there is a dent to the driver's side rear bumper. The video is not clear enough to see the plate on the Lexus or clearly see the operator's face. After, I located a number for the owner of the Lexus M/V 2 (Tania Lefman). I spoke to Lefman on the phone and she stated that she was backing out of the JCC parking lot at that time and felt a tiny bump to her rear end. She says that she could not stop in time due to the icy parking lot and then left the area thinking that nothing was wrong, it was only minor. I advised her there was significant damage to the other car. She was issued and mailed MA Uniform Citation T1441054 for Ch. 90/24/C Leaving the scene of property damage.

Traffic Bureau Update (Officer Gaudet): On Monday, February 4, 2019 I made contact with the President of Metrowest Packaging, Brian Hersh. Hersh stated his company does fulfillment deliveries for Amazon. Hersh was advised that a vehicle registered to his company was allegedly involved in a hit and run accident. Hersh was provided information on the vehicle involved. Hersh stated an employee named Alexis was operating MA CON:T65665 on the date of the accident and provided a phone number for this party. On Tuesday, February 5, 2019 I spoke with Alexis Laporte-Soto (S84358654). Laporte-Soto stated he was operating a 2017 Mercedes Sprint van (MA CON:T65665) in Newton for Metrowest Packaging on the date of the accident. I explained to Laporte-Soto the vehicle he was operating was alleged to have been involved in a hit and run accident on Highland Street in Newton. Highland Street is a public way maintained by the City of Newton. Laporte-Soto stated the vehicle he was operating hit the driver door mirror of a parked card on Highland Street.

Laporte-Soto stated after his passenger side door mirror made contact with MV1's driver side door mirror, he stopped his vehicle 15 feet down the road. Laporte-Soto stated he walked up to the car he hit and saw the mirror was bent back but there was no damage. Laporte-Soto stated he waited near the car for 10 minutes and the owner never showed up. Laporte-Soto also stated a "random guy" took a picture of his license plate. Laporte-Soto stated he said "hi" to this party but the party ignored him and left the area. I asked Laporte-Soto why he did not call Newton Police to assist him in finding the owner of the vehicle he hit. Laporte-Soto stated he didn't know. I also advised Laporte-Soto that the name of the owner of the vehicle he hit was printed on the driver side door next. The owner's phone number and email address were also printed on the driver door. Laporte-Soto stated he didn't see that. I spoke with the owner of MV1, Jason Correria.

Correria stated his co-worker then observed MV2 travel down Highland Street with out stopping and pull into the Santander parking lot located at 1314 Washington Street. Correria stated his co-worker saw the operator of MV2 exit his vehicle, check his passenger side door mirror for damage, and leave the area. Laporte-Soto will be mailled Massachusetts Uniform Citation T1443121 for Chapter 90, Section 24 (Leaving the scene of property damage).

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*

Narrative:
On 3/4/19 at approximately 1630hrs, I responded to the front desk for a report of a past hit and run. Operator#1 stated she was involved in an an accident on 2/27/19 at 1436hrs in front of Mango Thai, 115 Elm St. Operator #1 stated she was stopped waiting for the red light at Elm St and Washington when a "new black or gray SUV" pulled out of a parking spot the right of her. The other vehicle sideswiped her passenger side causing a large scratch. Operator #1i stated she honked and attempted to stop the vehicle but the driver pulled away. Operator #1 was only able to identify the driver as a male but did provide me with a plate of MA Reg 9RM445. The plate comes back leased to a 2018 Gray Jeep Compass registered to a Matthew Veteto. I was unable to find any phone number for Veteto. Operator#1 has already filed a claim with her insurance company who advised her she would need a police report. Due to being unable to verify who was driving, a citation was not issued.

Narrative:
On Saturday March 9, 2019, at approximately 0230 hours, I, Officer Brandon, responded to the Weston/Newton line on Commonwealth Ave to assist Weston PD with field sobriety. On arrival Weston PD had concluded field sobriety and determined that the party, Glenn Matot, was not under the influence. Weston PD then explained that they had been contacted by AAA stating that a single vehicle accident occurred in Weston's jurisdiction. After further review, Weston PD and I determined that the accident was in fact in Newton. I then spoke with the operator of MV1, Glenn Matot, who stated that he was on his way home from work traveling westbound on Commonwealth ave in front of the Charles River Canoe and Kayak when he became distracted by a text message. Mr. Matot further explained that while texting, his car drifted to the right causing him to drive up on the snow bank and up onto the guard rail before then falling off back into the road. MV1 sustained major damage to both the passenger side and undercarriage. Mr. Matot did not sustain any injuries and denied any medical attention. AAA arrived on scene and removed the vehicle from the road and Mr. Matot took an Uber home. Two pictures were taken of the damaged City of Newton guard rail and submitted to IT to be attached to the report.

Narrative:
On Friday March 15th 2019 at approximately 0730 hours I responded to the intersection of Beacon Street and Herrick Road for a report of a hit and run involving a bicyclist. The weather at the time of the accident was cloudy and the road conditions were dry. Both streets are public ways in the City of Newton. Upon arrival I observed the victim identified as Glenn Butcher (MA OLN S36552335), inside the ambulance getting medical attention. Butcher was getting a bandage applied to his left leg and complained of leg, back and neck pain. Butcher appeared visibly shaken and in pain. Butcher stated he had the green traffic light and was travelling eastbound on Beacon Street crossing Centre Street and then continuing straight crossing Herrick Road. Butcher stated MV1 was travelling westbound on Beacon Street and took a left turn onto Herrick Road and collided into his bicycle. Butcher states upon impact he flipped over his bicycle and landed on the hood of MV1, before rolling off and landing on the ground. Butcher states he was wearing his helmet which was present. Butcher states his bicycle ended up partially under MV1. Butcher states the operator of MV1 pulled his vehicle to the side of the road and got out of his vehicle and spoke to several witnesses briefly. Butcher states the operator then left the scene without properly exchanging information and did not wait for the police to arrive. Butcher described the vehicle as a dark gray Honda, and described the operator as an older white male, 5'10 approximately 80 years old with white hair. Butcher was also able to provide an email address for another bicyclist who witnessed the accident. The witness left his information with Butcher prior to my arrival. Fire fighters on scene were able to get the registration number of the vehicle from the witness (MA REG 4CX148) and gave it to Officers on scene. Butcher was transported by Medic 1 to NWH with minor injuries. His bicycle had visible damage to the frame area and skid marks were present on both tires. 19 photographs of the scene and the bicycle were taken and sent to the IT dept. email. Officer Gabriel transported the bicycle to the station where it was logged into Property & Evidence for safekeeping. Dispatch was able to query the registration which came back to a gray, 2010 Honda Accord registered to a Matthew Sugarman (MA OLN S38601397), out of W. Roxbury. Dispatch contacted the Boston Police Dept. and had them send an Officer to the address to try to make contact with Sugarman. Sugarman was advised to contact the Newton Police Dept. and I was able to speak with him on the telephone. Sugarman states he was driving the vehicle today and was involved in an accident with a bicycle. Sugarman states he was travelling westbound on Beacon Street and was taking a left onto Centre Street not Herrick Road. While speaking with Sugarman he seemed confused as to his location during the accident and was adamant that he was turning left onto Centre Street and not Herrick Road. I advised Sugarman that I was on scene with the first responding Officers and the accident clearly occurred at the intersection of Beacon Street and Herrick Road based upon the final resting place of the bicycle. Sugarman went on to state that his vehicle was already turning when the bicycle struck his vehicle and he believed it was the bicyclists fault. I advised Sugarman it appears the bicyclist had the right of way since it was traveling straight and that because his vehicle was taking a left turn, he failed to yield for on coming traffic at an intersection. When asked why he did not stay at the scene of the accident Sugarman stated he got out of his vehicle and spoke to the bicyclist and he "seemed okay". Sugarman states he then left the scene while the victim was still sitting on the ground. I asked Sugarman if he had ever been involved in accident before and he replied "no." I advised Sugarman that I am currently looking at his drivers history and see nine accidents that he was involved in. Sugarman stated "he has never been in accident like this before." I then asked Sugarman what the law states when you are involved in an accident and he was not able to provide me with an answer. I advised him that the law states you must stop and exchange information before leaving the scene of an accident. Again he stated the bicyclist seemed okay and "he had somewhere to be so he left." Sugarman has an extensive drivers history including nine surchargeable accidents, reckless operation, two different charges of leaving the scene property damage and two immediate threat affidavits filed against him. I advised Sugarman that I will be mailing him a citation for Ch89 s8 Fail to yield to oncoming traffic, and Ch90 s24 Leaving the scene of personal injury. I also filed an immediate threat form with the registry. I emailed the witness using the information he provided to the Newton Fire Dept that was on scene and received a phone call back from the witness identified as Bruce Adams. See witness report for his statements. I contacted the Bank of America located at 808 Beacon Street in Newton, as they are the closest business to that intersection with video surveillance. I spoke with George Walsh (781-834-8275) who stated they do not have any working cameras on that side of the building to the bank. For this report the bicyclist is entered as a non-motorist for validation purposes. Witness Bruce Adams (MA OLN S96398108) stated that he was riding his bicycle travelling behind the victim about 100 feet away. Adams states he was watching the victim and had a clear view of him as he travelled behind him, through the green traffic light heading eastbound on Beacon Street. Adams stated he witnessed MV1 travelling westbound on Beacon Street take a sharp left turn onto Herrick Road which turns into Union Street. Adams stated that the vehicle turned left colliding into the bicycle and there was no possible way the bicyclist had time to stop to avoid the collision. Adams stated the victim flew over his handle bars and fell on top of MV1's hood and then landed on the ground. Adams stated the victim's bicycle was stuck under MV1's front bumper. Adams stated the operator of MV1 backed his vehicle up with the bicycle still attached to his vehicle bumper and pulled MV1 over to the side of the road. The operator then got out of his vehicle and walked up to the victim who was laying on the ground visibly in pain. Adams stated the operator asked the victim if he was okay to which the victim did not immediatley reply as he was visibly shaken up. Adams stated the operator then walked back to his vehicle and attempted to leave the scene and that is when Adams stood infront of MV1 to stop him from leaving the scene. Adams stated he then removed the bicycle from underneath the bumper of MV1 and placed it on the side of the road. Adams stated the operator got out of his vehicle again and walked up to the victim and asked him "what do you want to do?". Adams stated the victim did not respond and that is when the operator got back into his vehicle and drove away, leaving the scene before any emergency response arrived. Adams stated he was able to memorize MV1's registration and stayed with the victim until police, fire and medics arrived. He stated he gave the fire dept the registration and his contact information prior to leaving the scene.

Narrative:
On 03/19/19 at 14:57 hours, I responded to 220 Dedham Street for a past motor vehicle hit and run accident involving a parked car that occurred at 12:26 hours on this date. Dedham Street is a public way maintained by the City of Newton. The owner of M/V # 1 states her vehicle was legally parked in front of 220 Dedham Street facing northbound when she came out and found a note from a witness saying it was struck by a gray Honda Accord bearing MA Reg. # 8512HV. It appears that the operator of M/V # 2 side swiped M/V # 1 as it was passing by on Dedham Street. I observed marks to the driver's side rear door area and the side view mirror was broken. On 03/20/19 at 08:47 hours, I spoke to the witness, Kawtar Bhih, on the phone and she stated that she was parked on the opposite side of where the accident took place. Bhih observed a gray Honda Accord with an elderly female operating M/V # 2 on Dedham Street almost side swiped another parked car before side swiping M/V # 1. She says that the vehicle slowed down after and then continued to leave the scene of the accident. She then took a photo of the above listed registration plate. I attempted to contact the owner of M/V # 2 (Jali Medical Inc Waltham, MA) and the receptionist was not able to provide any information at the time. I was told to call back the next day. I gave the vehicle and registration info to the person inquiring if they could find a possible driver and call back. While working on this report, I observed that the owner of M/V # 2 was involved in a past accident in our system and the operator at the time had an address of 66 Country Club Rd. Newton. On 03/20/19 at approx. 09:30 hours, I went over to this address and observed M/V # 2 in the driveway with an operator inside. After inquiring about the accident, she stated she was driving down Dedham Street when she heard a noise coming from her passenger side view mirror as she had struck something. She then left the scene not thinking it was serious. I observed fresh damage to her passenger side mirror along with other marks along the doors which appeared to be older. Operator was issued in hand MA Uniform Citation # T1441710 for Ch. 90/S24 Leaving the scene of property damage.

Narrative:
On April 24, 2019, while assigned to N496, I was called by Dispatch to respond to the area Beacon Street and Hammond Street for a motor vehicle crash. This was called in by Boston College Police Department. Upon arrival MV #1 was on Beacon Street just past Hammond Street at the Island with considerable vehicle damage. MV#1 stated while traveling westbound on Beacon St, while approaching the intersection of Hammond he stated he started to feel strange and not like himself. MV#1 stated he then struck the curb with his front right tire, not believing his accident was very serious at this time. He reversed his vehicle off the sidewalk and proceeded to travel westbound on Beacon St. After passing through the intersection he stated his car felt very off at which point he initiated his hazards and pulled over to the right. MV#1 stated he has a history of epilepsy and currently takes Oxcarbazepine twice a day for his condition. He stated he did not believe he had a seizure or lost consciousness but did not recall the incident very well. Boston College Ofc. Cadogan witnessed the incident, and stated the following, while conducting a directed patrol at the intersection of Beacon and Hammond St he saw MV#1 traveling westbound on Beacon St. Ofc. Cadogan stated MV#1 then took a sudden tight turn on to the curb striking the metal fence surrounding the BC facility. MV#1 was then seen / heard revving his engine while still in drive before reversing his vehicle off the curb and attempting to continue on Beacon St westbound. The fence surrounding the BC Facility sustained moderate damage. Tire marks in the grass show the path of MV#1 in direct line to the damaged property. While on scene, I spoke at length with Vanhorne. I did not detect or any alcohol from his breath as he spoke. Vanhorne reported he only consumed one beer tonight at roughly 2030hrs and smoked a little marijuana at 2200hrs. Vanhorne's eyes did not detect any signs of alcohol and he walked with no signs of any impairment. Sgt. Devine administered a horizontal nystagmus test which revealed no signs of impairment. Vanhorne reported he was at a work event and then visited a friend in Brookline. Vanhorne reported his last seizure from epilepsy occurred a little over two years ago. Pictures of the scene were taken and submitted to IT to be attached to this report. MV#1 operator stated he was not injured at this time. MV#1 was towed from the scene by Todys's due to heavy front end damage. Vanhorne was picked up from the scene by Paul Miller his step father. A towed MV form was filled out and placed in the traffic box. Witnesses Cassandra Williams and Bill Peirce observed the crash and stated identical narratives to Ofc. Cadogan's.

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 05/10/19 I met with Luiz A. Lopes who stated his vehicle ( Mass Commercial Reg# T83695 White Toyota Tacoma P/ U) was struck while parked in the lot around 07:00. Lopes said he didn't call the Police right away because he wasn't sure his car was struck there. The truck sustained a cracked front bumper and the fog light was popped out. We went inside of National Lumber and spoke with a manager who said he would contact G.M. Greg Assarian and have him look at the security footage. On 05/14/19 at approximately 14:00 the Police Station received a call from Lopes who just got off the phone with Assarian who found some security footage of the incident. I then traveled over to National Lumber and met with Assarian. He showed me the video and it appears that a newer grey four door Chevrolet truck backed into Lopes truck around 06:58 of 05/07/19. The Massachusetts plate is unreadable but an older White heavy set male gets out of the truck and walks into the store. After parking the truck the male can be seen checking his own truck bumper for damage. The male is wearing a baseball hat and sun glasses and cannot be identified on the video. The male does however walk with a noticeable limp. Assarian will show his picture to his employees and contact me if the employees are able to identify the male driver. I called Lopes back and apprised him of my findings. ******************UPDATE**************************************** As of today 05/20/19 I have yet to hear back from anyone at National Lumber so I will end this investigation and label it a hit and run crash.

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:
The OP. of MV#1 states he was travelling eastbound on Beacon Street. As he was entering the intersection of Chestnut Street, MV#2 on the oncoming lane suddenly made a left turn in front of his path causing a collision. He pulled over and couldn't find MV#2 anywhere around. He describes MV#2 as a black pick-up truck. The OP. of MV#1 is a dog walker and there were 6 dogs inside the vehicle during the accident. He states the dogs appear fine and the collision wasn't a large impact. Witness #1 states he was the first car stopped on Chestnut Street waiting for the traffic light to turn green. He witnessed MV#2 cut in front of MV#1 and cause a collision. MV#2 then continued driving down Chestnut Street southbound and didn't stop. When they were all stopped at a traffic light for Chestnut Street and Woodward Rd., Witness#1 took down the plate of MV#2 as L92280 and described it as a black pick-up truck with possible MA commercial plates. He describes that it has a spare tire on the bed of the truck leaning against the back window. MV#2 then accelerated away when the light turned green and turned into a unknown side street. The owner of the plate given is for Eric P. Rowe out of Norton, MA. His vehicle model does match the description of a black pick-up truck. I gave Norton P.D. a call at approx. 1800 hrs. A short while later, they called back and said the pick-up wasn't home but gave me a cell phone number. I was able to speak with Eric Rowe and he stated he was the OP. of MV#2. He stated he was on Beacon Street westbound making a left towards Chestnut Street southbound. There was a car making a turn in front of him and he saw MV#1 slow down, which is why he made the turn. A minor collision happened so he stopped to look at this truck and saw no damage. He didn't see MV#1 stopped anywhere so he drove away thinking there was no need to exchange paperwork for no damage to his truck. The OP. of MV#2 was advised of the proper procedure and that he will be getting a citation in the mail. An incident report was also generated.

On 7/20/19 at 23:24 hrs I responded to the area of 552 Commonwealth Avenue for a report of a MVA. Upon arrival it was determined MV#1 had struck two unoccupied parked vehicles in the eastbound parking shoulder. The operator of MV#1 stated he was on his phone while driving and when he picked his head up another vehicle coming westbound was in his lane so he swerved to avoid collision and struck the parked vehicles.

Narrative:
On August 1, 2019 at approximately 17:34 hours I, Officer Guarino, responded with Newton Fire and Medics for a report of a single vehicle crash into the building of 335 Boylston St. Upon arrival, the operator and sole occupant of the vehicle was out of the vehicle and had minor injuries. MV1 struck a stop sign and was up against 335 Boylston St, which appeared to have a broken window and minor structural damage. Operator of MV1 said that he was traveling in the right lane of Boylston St (Westbound) when a white Mercedes sedan (unknown model or registration number) turned into his lane and almost struck his vehicle. Operator of MV1 swerved to the right to avoid a collision and as a result crashed into the stop sign on John St. and the side of 335 Boylston St. Witness 1, who was parked at 325 Boylston St. saw the incident and corroborated MV1's story. A second witness, who I was unable to make contact with stopped and gave MV1 his phone number of (508)215-4951 and texted MV1 that he caught up with the possible vehicle, MA Reg 9BT373, which comes back to DESOUZA PLASTERING SERVICES INC. I will attempt to make contact with an operator during their business hours. The owner of 335 Boylston St, Onir Spiegel, was on scene, was given the incident number and was advised to contact her insurance company. MV1 was towed from the scene by Tody's and the operator signed a patient refusal from the Medics. Pictures were taken at the scene of the damage and submitted to IT to be attached to this report. Sergeant McLean notified the DPW for the stop sign and glass in the roadway. Sergeant McLean also left a message for Newton Inspectional Services to come inspect damage to the building at a later time.

Narrative:
Operator of vehicle 1 states she was traveling westbound on Washington St when the vehicle to her right began to enter her lane and then struck her passenger side pushing her onto the raised island. As a result vehicle 1 suffered a flat front driver side tire. Vehicle 2 did not stop and continued westbound on Washington St towards Wellesley. Operator of vehicle 1 was able to follow the other vehicle and got a license plate of MA reg#149DE7 and described the vehicle as a black sedan. AAA responded and fixed vehicle 1s flat tire and she was able to go on her way. I ran the license plate that was given for the other vehicle and it came back to a 2013 black Kia Rio sedan owned by a Dan Kuksin of 24 Bryon Rd apt 2 in Boston. I was unable to get a phone number for Kuksin. Dispatch requested Boston send a unit by to try and make contact and as of finishing this report I have not heard back. Traffic Bureau Update (Officer Gaudet): On Tuesday, July 6, 2019, I attempted to make contact with the registered owner of MV2, Daniel Kuksin (S61105670), with a negative result. A Hit and Run inquiry was mailed to the Kuksin. On 08/07/2019 the owner of MA reg#149DE7 came into headquarters to discuss what happened. With him was his father, Arkady Kuksin who was operating the vehicle at the time of the incident. Kuksin admitted to operating the vehicle in the area at the time of the incident but stated that someone had thrown a rock at his vehicle causing damage. He then stated that it was not thrown but kicked up from his tire. Myself and Officer Gaudet went outside with Kuskin and examined his vehicle and saw obvious damage that corresponded with the damage to vehicle 1. There were obvious signs of fresh paint transfer. I informed Kuksin that I would be updating my report and he would be receiving a summons in the mail for 90/24 leaving the scene property damage. i mailed Kuksin MA uniform citation T1444589.

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:
On 08/13/19 at 14:53 hours, I responded to a hit and run motor vehicle accident located at 244 Needham Street. The operator of MV1 states she was parked in a parking spot to the right of the Splash business at 244 Needham Street. The parking spot is located on Charlemont Street. After parking, she was sitting in her motor vehicle when she heard a bump to her driver's side rear end from MV2 backing up from a parking spot across from her. She says the operator of MV2 turned and looked at her and kept proceeding (NB) on Charlemont towards Needham Street. She then exited her vehicle to try and get the operator's attention to no avail. She took a photo of MV2 which was a black Toyota Highlander bearing MA reg.# R85045. She described the operator as a white female in her forties with possibly dark curly hair. I observed minor paint damage and scratches to the driver's side rear quarter panel area. The operator is unsure if that damage is from the accident. The owner of MV2, Steven Masterson has a residential address of 40 Wild Acres Rd in North Attleboro, MA and a mailing address of 34 Central Street Foxborough, MA. A telephone search revealed a phone number of (269)857-7814 for him out of Aiken, SC and the Foxborough address but the number is not in service. UPDATE: I was provided a phone number for Masterson from N. Attleboro PD. On 08/16/19 at 12:45 hours, I spoke to Sheila Masterson who stated she was driving MV2 at the time of the reported accident. She stated that she was unaware that she struck MV1 and saw the other operator looking at her but thought nothing of it. Due to the accident being very minor or possibly no damage at all, no further action will be taken. Masterson was provided with the other operator's information.

Narrative:
MV1 operator, David Gorman (2017 Mazda Cx3, MA Reg:6TL761), stated that he was traveling from Commonwealth Ave turning right on Lexington St heading NORTH when he realized the vehicle behind him was following him very closely. MV1 continued to drive on Lexington St when MV2 (2015 Toyota Highlander, MA Reg: 6VS151), started to beep at him continuously and went over the double yellow line in an attempt to pass MV1. MV2 was unable to pass MV1 because of oncoming traffic so MV2 steered to get back into his lane. MV2 collided with MV1 in the area of 281 Lexington St. A witness, John Maclellan (off-duty police officer Watertown) who was in the area of Lexington St and Orris St. stated that he heard a vehicle beeping repeatedly and then heard a collision. Maclellan came outside to find MV2 over the double yellow lines facing oncoming traffic. MV2 had damage to its passenger front and MV1 had damage to its drivers side rear. Maclellan told MV2 operator, Renato Ribeirodasilva, to move his vehicle to a safe location on the right side of the road and get out of the vehicle to exchange paperwork with the other driver involved (MV1, Gorman). Maclellan phoned Newton PD to notify of the accident and as he was on the line, he witnessed both parties getting into a heated arguement on the sidewalk outside of their vehicles. MV2 operator, Renato Ribeirodasilva was taken into custody for the following charges: 90/24J - OUI Liquor, 90/24E - Neglegant Operator of a MV, and 89/4A - Marked Lanes Violation. Claudineia called a sober friend to drive her and her three children home to Waltham in Claudineia's vehicle. Claudineia was also under the influence of alcohol.

Narrative:
On 9/08/19 Kevin Coston came into NPD Headquarters to report a MV/Ped with Injury that had occurred on 8/23/19 at about 06:15 in the parking lot of Whole Foods (916 Walnut Street). The RP stated that he had left work (Whole Foods) at the back receiving door and was walking to his car, he bent over to take his knee pads off, while he was doing this he was struck by a delivery van that backed into him. The driver took out his headphones and said sorry before driving away. RP stated that he told the driver that he had been hit but the driver just drove away. RP went to hospital (Faulkner) on his own for lower back pain and has not been to work since. RP was able to take picture of the side of the delivery van. The van belonged to Shortstop Distribution Inc (508-655-5948). RP left a message that morning. He was texted by Gedeon (786-352-6695) who stated there was a language barrier and he didn't understand what had happened. RP advised Gedeon to talk to his lawyer or the police. Exact location of accident unknown. Diagram is a estimate. Report printed out and placed in traffic box for follow up. Traffic Bureau Update (Officer Gaudet): On Monday, September 9, 2019 I attempted to make contact with the operator if MV1, Gedeon Duarte, with a negative result. A Hit and Run motor vehicle inquiry was mailed to Duarte. I spoke with the injured party, Kevin Coston, via telephone on September 9, 2019. Coston stated he is an employee at the Whole Foods located at 916 Walnut Street, Newton. Coston stated on August 23, 2019 a black van backed into him as he was kneeling on the ground taking off his knee pads in the loading area of the store. Coston stated he approached the driver who remained in the vehicle to speak with him after he was hit. Coston described the driver as a heavy set Spanish male. Coston stated the operator of the vehicle rolled down his window, took his headphones out of his ear, said sorry, and left the area. Coston stated he contacted the Newton Police to report the accident but was told he needed to come in person to file the report. Coston stated he was unable to come to the station to file the report until September 8, 2019. On Friday, September 13, 2019, I spoke with Gedeon Duarte at the Newton Police Department. Duarte stated he spoke Portuguese and did not speak English. With the assistance of David Sargent from the Language Line (1-800-225-5254) translating, I was to speak with Mr. Duarte in the Traffic Bureau. Duarte stated he was making a delivery at Whole Foods and was waiting for another truck to leave so he could leave the area. Duarte stated a male party (Coston) came up to his driver door and was yelling him. Duarte stated that due to language barrier he was unable to understand what the person was saying to him, but stated the male party was yelling, "Fuck you! Fuck you!" Duarte stated he did not know what was going on and stated he left the area to allow the male party to calm down. Duarte stated he returned a minute later the male party did not want to speak with him. Duarte stated he returned a second time later in the morning and Coston was not there. Duarte stated he received a call from his employer stating Kevin Coston had called for him and he was provided with Coston's phone number. Duarte stated he texted Coston to find out what happened that morning. Duarte showed me a text message exchange from August 23, 2019 at 9:03 A.M. between himself and a party listed as "Kevin Whole". In the text messages, Duarte stated he is the driver of the van and that his supervisor called him. The other party responded and stated "Talk to the police and my lawyer". Duarte stated that he did not understand what happened and that he returned to whole foods. Duarte ended the text exchange with "927535425 my number of policy..." Duarte stated he had no idea he made contact with Coston and stated at the time of the alleged accident he did not hear/see/feel anything otherwise he would have stopped. Duarte's information has been updated in this report to reflect him as the operator/vehicle involved. Duarte also submitted pictures of the rear of his vehicle, a 2008 black Ford E350 (MA: 8NY171), from the day of the accident. Photos were submitted to the IT Bureau. Officer Wade went to the Whole Foods located at 916 Walnut Street, Newton in an attempt to view surveillance footage of the accident.

On 11/6/19 at approximately 0610 hrs I responded to 15 Needham St., the National Lumber for a MVA involving a pedestrian. Upon arrival I spoke to the pedestrian who was lying on the street who stated he landed on his back and couldn't feel if anything was hurting. I advised him to stay put until the medics responded. The pedestrian was wearing brown pants and a black jacket and stated he was listening to his head phones when he attempted to cross the street. Where he attempted to cross was down Needham St from the main intersection and there was no crosswalk. He attempted to cross from the National Lumber side crossing the S/SW travel lane first. I then talked to the operator of MV#1 who stated he turned right onto Needham St from Winchester St and didn't see anybody attempting to cross until the last second. At this time he stated he jammed on his brakes and saw pedestrian on the hood of his Pickup before he fell to the ground. There was minor damage to the hood of the vehicle on the passenger side. The pedestrian was evaluated by the Medics and transported to NWH for further evaluation. Pictures were taken on scene and turned over to the IT bureau.

There I was met by Annie Peng who states that at approx 730pm this evening she was struck by a vehicle(mass reg 6258) at the intersection of Washington St and Park St. She states that when she was entering the crosswalk after crossing over the mass pike bridge, she was struck from the right passenger side of MV1.

Narrative:
On 12/19/2019 at 14:43 hours Newton Police dispatch received numerous phone calls about a white male whose face was covered in blood and was riding on an electric motorized scooter south bound on Walnut St near number 100. Walnut St is a public way in the city of Newton. Approximately two tenths of a mile south 100 Walnut St, Ofc Garcia stopped the male on the scooter. Ofc Garcia stated that the male on the scooter was evasive when answering his questions and claimed that he did not realize that his face was covered in blood. The male on the scooter was identified as Gregory David Brown. Brown was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital for treatment. Prior to Brown being transported I was dispatched to the area of 100 Walnut St for a report of a male on an scooter who had crashed into a south bound vehicle in traffic on Walnut St and another vehicle that was parked in front of number 73. Upon my arrival I spoke with Penni Rochwerger and Nikita Espinal. Rochwerger stated that she was driving south bound on Walnut St across from 100 when she activated her vehicle's four way flasher and stopped her vehicle to let Espinal who was the front seat passenger out. Rochwerger stated that south bound traffic stopped behind her vehicle after she came to a stop adjacent to Espinal vehicle that was parked facing south in front of 73 Walnut St. Espinal stated that she checked over her right should to see if it was clear to open her door and it was . Espinal stated that as she opened her door to exit a male on scooter crashed into the door and fell to the ground. Both Rochwerger and Espinal stated that the male on the scooter did not provide his name or address and continued south bound on Walnut St with his face coved in blood. Rochwerger's vehicle sustained damage to the front passenger side door that would not closed all the way. Espinal vehicle also had damage to it, the rear driver's side lower quarter panel was struck. I responded to Newton Wellesley Hospital to speak with Brown. When I arrived and spoke with Brown he was evasive with his answers . When I asked Brown what had happened he gave conflicting answers and contradicted himself. Brown stated that he was riding his scooter on the roadway south bound on Walnut St be could not recall any other details. When I asked Brown if he was wearing a helmet as required by MGL 90/1E he stated he couldn't recall. Rochwerger, Espinal and Ofc Garcia all stated to me that they did not see Brown wearing a hamlet. There was an unconfirmed post by a person named Tricia Marucci to the Facebook group Newton Parents stating that at 14:45 hours on 12/19/2019 saw Brown hitting a defect in the roadway in the area of Crafts St by California St that caused him to loses control of his scooter and fall face first onto the pavement. In her post Marucci stated that Brown was cover in blood from facial lacerations, and that he refused medical aid and continued to ride his scooter south bound towards the entrance to Walnut St. I left a message for Marucci to contact me and as of the writing of this report she has yet to do so. While at the hospital I ran Brown's name and date of birth via the MA RMV data base in order to issue him a citation for not wearing a helmet. The query of Brown via the MA RMV data base reviled that Brown's MA driver's license statutes was suspended. On 07/11/2018 admitted to a finding of sufficient facts to one count of MGL 90/24 OUI liquor. Brown received a Continued With Out Finding for 18 months. In addition Brown pleaded guilty to an additional count of MGL 90/24V Child Endangerment While OUI. Brown received a 90 day sentence in the Middlesex House of Correction which was suspended for 18 months. Brown also received a one year loss of his driver's license. Brown is on active probation out of Newton District Court until 07/21/2020. Biased upon the statements made to me I issued Brown MA Criminal Application T 2012526 for violations of MGL 90/24(2) Leaving The Scene Of An Accident Property Damage , MGL 90/1E Operation Of A Motorized Scooter Without A Valid License and MGL 90/1E Operation Of A Motorized Scooter With Out A Helmet. As of 12/20/2019 Brown was discharged from Newton Wellesley Hospital.

Narrative:
At approximately 1645HRs on Tuesday, 01/07/2020, I was dispatched to 325 Boylston St. (Sunoco Gas) for a report of a hit and run motor vehicle crash. Upon arrival, I spoke with the operator of MV1 (MA Veteran:J706), who stated that as he sat stationary in his vehicle just before entering pump: 3, MV2 backed up from pump: 1 and struck MV1 in the front bumper, despite him activating his horn and keeping it active as she continued to back up. The operator of MV1 then approached the driver's side door of MV2 to exchange information, however the operator of MV2 drove off; the operator of MV1 provided MA Pass: 8SV842 being attached to MV2 and I noted damage to the front bumper of MV1. I spoke to witness 1 via phone and he concurred with the operator of MV1's account of the incident. It should be noted that witness 1 could see the crash well from his vantage point by pump: 2. The operator of MV2 could not be reached by this officer for comment. Natick PD responded to the operator of MV2's residence and observed damage to MV2's rear bumper. They requested the operator of MV2 contact me via phone and she stated she would; Natick PD did not get a contact number for her. Natick PD informed us to expect her call and a few minutes later, dispatcher Kelly stated that she received a call from the operator of MV2, who immediately hung up once the call was answered. It should be noted that since she called on the business line and immediately hung up, we were not able to retrieve her phone number as the system does not store it. Due to the operator of MV2 failing to provide her information after the crash/fleeing the scene and her not being cooperative with my investigation, I have issued her by mail MA Criminal Citation:T2013367 for violating one count of MGL. Ch. 90 S. 24 (Leaving The Scene Of An Accident After Property Damage). Note: the clerk at Sunoco stated that the cameras at the pumps do not store footage. **Update** At approximately 1540HRs on Thursday, 01/07/2020, I spoke with the operator of MV2 via telephone. She contacted the Newton Police Traffic Bureau and provided her phone number, who in turn forwarded it to me. She stated to me that on the night in question, she was at the pumps and the pump she initially wished to use (pump: 1) had a sign on it to pay inside. She then elected not to use said pump and backed her car up and heard the operator of MV1 activate his horn. She stopped and was unaware that she struck MV1. When she saw the operator of MV 1 exit his vehicle, she assumed he was going to pump gas. She then stated she left the gas station because she was frustrated and did not intend to leave the scene of an accident. I advised the operator of MV2 that since I was unable to speak with her that night, I had already issued her MA Criminal Citation:T2013367 for violating one count of MGL. Ch. 90 S. 24 (Leaving The Scene Of An Accident After Property Damage) via mail and advised her how to proceed.

Narrative:
On 01/09/20 at approximately 13:30 hours, a pedestrian Scott Lorenz came in to the lobby of Newton Police Headquarters to report that he was struck by a motorist while crossing the intersection of Cherry & Webster Streets. This accident took place at approximately 13:00 hours on this date. Mr. Lorenz further stated that he was walking on foot and attempting to cross Cherry Street going eastbound at Webster Street. He says that he did not activate the cross walk signal but thought it was clear to proceed as Webster Street had a red light signal. While attempting to cross, he says that the westbound lane of Webster Street received a green light and MV1 proceeded to turn left on to Cherry Street from Webster Street. He then looked at the motorist and thought that she saw him. Once she kept approaching and realizing that he was not seen, he started to back track but was struck by the front end of MV1. Lorenz then tumbled back and fell down to the ground. He says that he got up feeling fine and alerted the motorist that he was struck. The two of them exchanged information and then left the scene with out notifying 911 of the accident. After, Lorenz then came in to Newton Police Headquarters to report it. I observed a small round swollen red mark to the inside of his right knee area and a red mark to the back left side of his neck. Digital photos were taken of his injuries. Mr. Lorenz declined medical attention and wanted this incident documented in case his possible injuries worsened. I then spoke to the operator of MV1, Sharon Pywell (MA S23277423), on the phone after. Pywell stated that she was operating her Toyota Prius bearing MA reg. # 2197RW on Webster Street facing westbound at Cherry Street waiting for the green signal to turn left on to Cherry Street. Once the light changed, she attempted to turn and never saw a pedestrian trying to cross Cherry Street.

On 1/17/20 at 1858 I responded to the area of Boylston St and Circuit Ave for a report of a MVA where one vehicle fled. Upon arrival I spoke with the operator of MV#1 who stated he was in the left lane traveling EB on Boylston St when MV#2 who was also traveling EB on Boylston St in the right lane almost hit him. There was heavy traffic and the operator of MV#1 stated he pointed at and told the operator of MV#2 to put the phone down. She said, What? He told her again to put the phone down and that she almost hit him. Operator of MV#1 stated that the operator of MV#2 then purposely veered to the left to hit MV#1 and took off. Ofc. Coletti and Soloman then located MV#2 at her residence and asked her what happened. The operator of MV#2 stated the operator of MV#1 was yelling at her to put her phone down and then veered into her vehicle. The operator of MV#2 had her two children in the car and was scared so she left the scene and planned to call NPD when she got home. There was minor damage and no injuries reported.

Narrative:
Vehicle one, Newton police marked 503 cruiser operated by Officer Hagopian, was stopped behind a stopped unknown vehicle on Watertown Street facing West waiting on a red light. Officer Hagopian stated both vehicles were in the right travel lane. Vehicle one was the second car in line at the red light. Officer Hagopian of vehicle one heard a police broadcast of a victim in cardiac arrest and activated its police emergency lights and siren to respond to the emergency call. The unknown vehicle in front of vehicle one pulled to the right and allowed vehicle one to navigate around it. Officer Hagopian stated he had his emergency lights and siren activated and went around the stopped vehicle that had pulled to the right in front of him. Vehicle one proceeded West toward the intersection at a slow rate of speed and observed the intersection to be clear and then accelerated. Officer Hagopian stated that vehicle two came from Walnut Street, traveling North, and came across the intersection where vehicle one and two collided. Officer Hagopian estimated his cruiser to be traveling at 15-20 mph upon impact with vehicle two. The front end of vehicle one made impact with the passenger side of vehicle two. Vehicle two, BMW operated by Gail Glaser, was traveling North on Walnut Street and was approaching the intersection of Walnut Street and Watertown Street. Operator of vehicle two estimated her vehicle speed to be about 20 mph as her vehicle entered the intersection. Ms. Glaser stated she had a green light. Operator of vehicle two was in the middle travel lane that was a designated lane to go straight. Mrs. Glaser stated she did not see an emergency vehicle but could hear the siren as she approached and then entered the intersection from Walnut Street (going North). She stated she had a clear view of the intersection. Vehicle two then came in contact with vehicle one (going West on Watertown Street) in the intersection. Vehicle two then came to a final rest in the Southbound lane of Walnut Street near the traffic signal posts at the corner. Vehicle two made head on contact with vehicle three upon final rest. Vehicle three, Acura operated by Jeffrey Katz, was the first car in the right travel lane on Walnut Street facing South. Mr. Katz stated he, vehicle three, was stopped at a red light that had just turned to a green light. Mr. Katz stated he heard the siren, stay stopped, and looked towards the direction of the sound and saw a marked cruiser entering the intersection from Watertown Street (West). Mr. Katz remained stopped where he was and then saw vehicles one and two collide in the intersection. Vehicle two then veered into the front of his vehicle head on and contact was made. Mr. Katz stated when he initially saw the cruiser it was already in the intersection with emergency lights and siren activated and estimated the cruiser to be going about 20 mph upon impact. Mr. Katz also indicated that vehicle two was traveling into the intersection from Walnut Street (North) at an estimated 20 mph. Witness Peter Dill was sitting in his parked car on Watertown Street facing East. Mr. Dill was parked in front of his house at 606 Watertown Street. It is the second home in from the intersection on the Eastbound travel side of Watertown Street. Mr. Dill Stated that he was looking at his cell phone when he heard the siren. When he looked up towards the sound of the siren, he saw vehicle one traveling about 5 mph in the intersection with emergency lights and siren activated. He did not know where vehicle one had originated from and just that it was traveling West on Watertown Street. Mr. Dill also saw vehicle two approaching from Walnut Street heading North and was not speeding. Mr. Dill estimated that 3-5 seconds had gone by when he first heard the siren to when the initial impact of vehicles one and two occurred. Witness James Davis-Sanon was driving a large MWRA utility work truck. He was the first car in the right turn only lane on Walnut Street. He stated that Walnut Street had the green light and he stopped before the intersection to allow vehicle one to continue going West on Watertown Street. Mr. Davis-Sanon stated he saw/heard vehicle one activate its emergency lights and siren when vehicle one was stopped behind a car waiting on a red light on Watertown Street. After vehicle one activated the emergency lights and sirens, it went around the car stopped in front of it and proceeded into the intersection at a slow rate of speed that Mr. Davis-Sanon described as a "rolling stop" but could not remember if the cruiser stopped or nearly stopped. Mr. Davis-Sanon stated vehicle one then accelerated to about 15 mph into the intersection. Mr. Davis-Sanon also looked at his driver's door rear view mirror and saw vehicle two traveling North on Walnut Street in the designated straight only lane and then proceed into the intersection. He estimated that vehicle two was traveling at 25 mph upon impact with vehicle one. Witness Joseph Giangregorio was in the front passenger seat of the same MWRA utility work truck. Mr. Giangregorio concurred with Mr. Davis-Sonon witness accounts regarding the location of their truck and vehicle one prior to emergency lights and sirens. Mr. Giangregorio did not witness the rear view mirror account since Mr. Giangregorio did not observe vehicle two in the rear view mirror. Mr. Giangregorio added that vehicle one activated its emergency lights and siren, maneuvered around the stopped car in front of it, slowed to 1-2 mph before the intersection but could not remember if it was stopped and then accelerated to about 15 mph before impact with vehicle two. He estimated that vehicle two was traveling 25 mph upon impact with vehicle one. I canvassed the area of where this incident ocurred for cameras. The only cameras I was able to locate was at 575 Watertown Street which is the second house in from the intersection on the Westbound travel side. Both cameras at this address did not have an angle to capture the intersection. Both cameras are focused on the front door to the home and the homeowner, Jose, confirmed that the angle could not capture the intersection. Operator of vehicle two was cited for failure to yield to an emergency vehicle, MA uniform citation T2012104. Citation was written on February 3, 2020 and sent via mail.

Narrative:
The operator of vehicle 1 stated she was traveling West on the Washington Street bridge over the Mass Pike when vehicle 2, a gray SUV attempted to change lanes, as this happened the front passenger side quarter panel of vehicle 2 came in contact with the rear drivers side quarter panel of vehicle 1. This caused minor scratches to vehicle 1. The operator of vehicle 1 attempted to pull over and exchange information with the other driver. The operator of vehicle 2 continued driving away and got onto the Mass Pike, during this process the operator of vehicle 1 and the passenger of vehicle 1 were able to get the license plate number of vehicle 2 which was NY REG:T797800C. In an attempt to locate and identify the driver of vehicle 2 I ran NY REG T797800C which comes back registered to a short term rental company called Flexdrive. I called a phone number on their website 8663539399 which is listed as the number to call if you are in an accident with one of their vehicles. I was only able to speak to a service technician, a Tom Louis of ARI Fleet Service 18002272273, who told me the vehicle was out of the Flexdrive North Dighton Mass hub located at 123 Williams Street North Dighton MA 02764.Tom also mentioned the location would most likely not be open again until Monday. He did not have any other information regarding who may be operating the vehicle. I have attempted to find contact information on this North Dighton location which I have had negative results so far. I have also emailed the Flexdrive customer service department. To be followed up on. Traffic Bureau update (Officer Gaudet): On Tuesday, February 25, 2020, I made contact with the registered owner of MV2, Flexdrive. The representative from Flexdrive stated MV2 is registered to the company but Lyft uses their vehicles for ride sharing. I contacted Lyft and spoke with a party named Jonas from their support team. Jonas stated he would make contact with the operator of MV2 and ask them to contact me to give a statement. Lyft stated they would also conduct their own internal investigation. On Wednesday, February 26, 2020, I spoke with the operator of MV2, Gary Procaccini (S36066201). Procaccini stated he was operating a 2019 Santa Fe (NY Reg: T797800C) as a Lyft driver on the evening of February 22, 2020. Procaccini stated he was traveling on Washington Street (W) towards the Massachusetts Turnpike entrance in West Newton. Procaccini stated he was in the wrong lane and looked in his mirror before attempting to merge into the correct lane. Procaccini stated to the right of his vehicle he observed a vehicle "flying" towards the entrance to the Pike. Procaccini stated he came to stop to allow the vehicle to pass. Procaccini stated the vehicle passed at a high rate of speed and he continued on his way onto the Pike (E). Procaccini stated he had a passenger in the vehicle using Lyft servies and there were no signs that a crash had taken place. Procaccini's information has been added to his report to reflect him being the operator of MV2. I then spoke with Peter Houser who is a Driver Services Representative with Lyft. Houser stated he had just visually inspected the vehicle alleged to have been involved in the crash. Houser stated the vehicle was in "pristine" condition and he observed no damage to the front passenger side quarter panel of MV2. Houser e-mailed me pictures of the vehicle. I observed no damage to MV2. Those pictures were submitted to the IT Bureau.

Narrative:
On 6/29/2020 at approx 0755Hrs while assigned to 497 I responded to the area of 18 Annawan Rd for a report of a hit and run. Upon arrival I met with resident of 18 Annawan Rd , Andrea Epstein, and her boyfriend Isaiah Mohammed . Epstein stated her fathers vehicle ,MA Reg 315SA6 was parked on the street in front of the home. Isaiah stated he was looking out the window when he witnessed a large black flatbed delivery vehicle backing up attempting to make the turn from Annawan to Waban Av when it struck the Epsteins vehicle, Isaiah stated he made eye contact with the white male driver who realized he had struck the car than accelerated away turning left onto Waban Av. They attempted to get a plate and found possible partial plate of 29866 and saw "Eastern...." imprinted on the side. Isaiah and Andrea related a neighbor whose name they didn't know followed the truck when it fled and got a picture of the license plate and they were awaiting the photo being forwarded to them, they were also going to forward photos from the Ring doorbell that captured the truck. I checked the area for construction sites with recent drop offs. I contacted Andrea who stated she had spoken with her neighbor at 70 Edgfield Rd, Patrick Nuzzi who stated he had just had a delivery of fencing delivered by Eastern Fence of Medford NY and upon seeing the photo from her Ring doorbell confirmed it was the same truck due to the empty spot on the flatbed where his fencing had been . I spoke with Patrick Nuzzi who stated he would get in touch with his contractor Amazing Gardens to get the truck drivers info and registration info. I was contacted via phone by an employee of Eastern Fencing LLC from 631-698-0975 Bob Eggerman , who stated he would review the dash cam footage and forward the operator and registration info. 6/30/2020 driver and reg info forwarded by Eggerman, report updated.

On 7/3/20, I met a party in the lobby of the NPD for a past hit and run report. The RP, Aleksander Duri ( MA Reg: 2LG632) stated he was parked in the Wegmans parking garage on 6/27/20. When Duri returned to his vehicle there was a note on it that said "I just saw a car hit your driver side back bumper. Teenage boy was driving, license plate 159XT5 Blue Subaru outback. If you have damage and need a witness you can call me [phone number in witness section]." MA Reg: 159XT5 comes back to a 2013 blue Subaru Outback registered to Emily Franklin-Strauss. In the census it lists three males who reside at the address in the same age group (DOB of 11/8/2001, 5/20/2004 and 7/2/1999). I attempted to call the phone number on file with negative results. There are cameras in the Wegmans garage however it did not capture the accident. Traffic Bureau update (Officer Gaudet): On Monday, July 6, 2020, I attempted to make contact with the registered owner of MV2, Emily Franklin-Strauss (S56184971), with a negative result. A Hit and Run inquiry was mailed to Ms. Franklin-Strauss. On Wednesday, July 15, 2020, I spoke with the operator of MV2, Samuel Strauss (S90135443), via telephone. Strauss stated he was operating MA: 159XT5 at the time of the crash in the parking garage. Strauss stated he was backing his vehicle up and heard a sound. Strauss stated he got out of his vehicle and looked for damage on the parked car he backed up into. Strauss stated he stayed on scene for 7-10 minutes and left after he observed no damage. Strauss stated a claim has been filed and insurance is now involved. Strauss stated he is an inexperienced driver and did not know what to do in a situation like this. Strauss was advised that if he is invovled in a crash in the future, he should contact the local police department in the city the the crash occurs in so the police can help faciliate an exchange of information. Strauss stated there was another passenger in the vehicle with him at the time of the crash named David Banteekhan. Strauss could not provde any other information for this party except that he lives in Newton and his Snapchat name is DDavid5935. I could not find any other information on this party.

Narrative:
Operator #1 states that he was taking a left onto Lexington St from Wolcott St when his vehicle (vehicle #1), MA 1ZDP33, was hit by a white Chevrolet pickup with unknown plates. Operator #1 states that he had a had a green light but was able to swerve out of the way to minimize contact when the white truck ran the red light southbound on Lexington St. Damage is to the front right corner of vehicle #1. The white pickup did not stop. It turned right onto Commonwealth Ave towards Weston. I spoke to witness Sean Murphy (508-661-9329) who heard the crash and observed the immediate aftermath of the pickup taking off. He provided a further description of a 2 door white Chevrolet pickup, early 00's model, occupied 2x, with the name Empire Concrete on the passenger side. I attempted to locate an Empire Concrete, however limited search results were available. A possible business address of 54 Forest St Mllford was found and I had Milford PD respond to the address to look for the pickup. It was not there, and I was informed that the address itself is an apartment complex. It should be noted that there is no phone number or website for an Empire Concrete out of MA, although there are several other businesses that have the word Empire in the company name. The camera facing Lexington St at Gregorio Jewelers (corner of River and Lexington) did not yield any matching results for the appropriate time frame. Starbucks (corner of Commonwealth and Lexington) doesn't have outdoor surveillance equipment. Vehicle #1 did not need to be towed and no medical attention was requested by the operator. He was advised that if I am able to obtain further information or verify the company, I will contact him.

Narrative:
On 07/28/2020 at 1221hrs I responded to the area of 23 Oak St for a motor vehicle crash involving a pedestrian. The involved pedestrian had left the area prior to my arrival. The vehicle that was involved in crash was also not on scene. The crash occurred on 07/28/2020 at approximately 0900hrs in the driveway of 27 Oak St. Prior to the crash the involved vehicle described as a 1991 Chrysler TC Convertible color Red bearing MA Antique Reg D2935 ( Active) was located in the driveway of 23 Oak St. The vehicle was facing toward the rear of the driveway. The vehicle then rolled in reverse easterly across the common driveway and struck a pedestrian who was located in the driveway of 27 Oak St. After contact with the pedestrian the vehicle came to final rest in the driveway of 27 Oak St. As a result of the impact the pedestrian sustained a minor injury to her left knee. There were no occupants in the involved vehicle at the time of the crash. It is unknown at this time if the vehicle sustained any damage. The pedestrian left the area prior to this crash being reported to NPD. The vehicle was removed from the area prior to the crash being reported to NPD. I then spoke to the owner of the involved vehicle Marc Dumoulin who was on scene and was the reporting person. Dumoulin stated that the crash occurred today 07/28/2020 at approximately 0900hrs. Dumoulin states that the involved vehicle described as a 1991 Chrysler Convertible was having issues due to a gas tank problem and he believes it wasn't going to pass inspection. Dumoulin stated that he took his vehicle for a final test ride around the block to decide if he wanted to keep it or not. Dumoulin states that after operating the vehicle he decided to salvage the vehicle with CJ Auto in Watertown, MA. Dumoulin states that before going to CJ Auto he decided to stop back at his home first. Dumoulin states he then parked the vehicle at this driveway and got out to go in the house. Dumoulin states that he believes the vehicle was running at this time. Dumoulin states that as he was walking toward his house he observed his vehicle rolling in reverse towards his neighbor's driveway. Dumoulin states that the vehicle then rolled into his neighbor's driveway near his neighbors fence. Dumoulin states that the pedestrian was outside near the fence when his vehicle rolled into his neighbor's driveway.Dumoulin states that he did not initially report the crash because he did not believe that his vehicle had come in contact with the pedestrian. Dumoulin states that he then removed the vehicle from his neighbor's driveway and brought it to CJ Auto for salvage. Dumoulin states that when he returned to his residence he became aware that the pedestrian may have been struck by his vehicle and had a minor injury. Dumoulin states that upon hearing this he called NPD. At this time I was met by Nina Levin who is the homeowner of 27 Oak St. Levin stated that she did not observe the crash but a contractor working on her house did. Levin stated that the pedestrian involved was named Lucero Flores-Roman and that Flores-Roman was outside attending to some potted plants when she was hit by the involved vehicle. Levin stated that Flores-Roman received an injury to her left knee. Levin stated that she took photo's after the crash of the involved vehicle and of Flores-Roman's knee. Levin provided me with these photo's which I then submitted to the IT Bureau. Levin provided me with Flores-Romans contact phone number. Dumoulin also provided his insurance information to Levin so that she could relay the information to Flores-Roman. I then spoke with a witness Gleb Andreev who was a carpenter working at 27 Oak St. Andreev states that he was inside of 27 Oak St working on a first floor window facing the driveway. Andreev state he observed the involved vehicle roll into the driveway and come to rest near the pedestrian. Gleb stated he then went out side to assist the pedestrian. Gleb stated he believed the vehicle hit the pedestrian when it rolled into the driveway. At 0230 hrs I was able to speak with the involved pedestrian Lucero Flores-Roman. Flores-Roman states that around 0900hrs today she was in the driveway of 27 Oak St attending to some plants near a wooden fence. Flores-Roman stated that her back was turned towards the area of 25 Oak St, she then on a hunch turned around and observed the involved vehicle in reverse moving towards her. Flores-Roman stated that she turned her body quickly to avoid the vehicle but the vehicle's rear end passengers side made contact with her left knee. Flores-Roman stated that she sustained a minor injury to her left knee which included some bruising and swelling. Flores-Roman states that after crash she did not think she needed an ambulance but wanted to go home to rest her knee. Flores-Roman was then provided with Dumoulin's insurance information. No other injuries reported on scene. Photo's were taken on scene and were submitted to the IT Bureau. On 07/29/2020 I responded to CJ Auto's Salvage Yard located at 43 White Pond Rd Stow, MA which was the present location of the involved vehicle. Upon arrival I observed the involved vehicle which did not appear to have exterior damage. Photo's were taken of the vehicle and were submitted to the IT Bureau. An RMV check of vehicle revealed that a title was issued to Dumoulin on 03/25/2020. The vehicle has not been inspected by a MA inspection station. The vehicle title has been signed over by Dumoulin to CJ Auto for destruction. At this time it is unknown if the crash was caused by mechanical failure with the vehicle or human error.

At approximately 1735HRs on Saturday, August 29, 2020, I was dispatched to 14 Elliot St. (Sunoco Gas Station) for a report of a two car MVA with one party refusing to exchange RMV information. Upon arrival, I spoke with the operator of MV1 (MA Pass: 6GT965), who stated that he was stationary in his vehicle at pump 3, when the operator of MV2 reversed into his vehicle after refueling at pump 5, which is directly in front of pump 3. The operator of MV2 got out of her vehicle and began to yell at him and refused to give him her RMV information, claiming he hit her. The operator of MV1 stated that he called the police and the operator of MV2 subsequently left the scene prior to my arrival. Officer Keefe (N495) attempted to raise the registered owner of MV2 (MA Pass: 2KWK11) at her residence with negative results and dispatch was unable to find a cell phone for her. I was able to speak with witness 1, who concurred with the operator of MV1's version of events. After speaking with witness 1, the operator of MV1 and viewing his video he recorded on his phone showing a party believed to be the owner/operator of MV2 entering her vehicle (Caucasian Female with the same light/strawberry blonde hair, as seen in her RMV photo), I have issued her MA Criminal Citation T2015042 for violating one count of MGL Ch. 90 S. 24. (Leaving The Scene Of Property Damage) and mailed it to her address. Note: the cameras at the gas station are not operational at this time and a copy of the aforementioned video has been forwarded to IT to be attached to this report.

Narrative:
On Tuesday, October 6, 2020, I received a call at approximately 2158 hours from Sgt. Devine of the Newton Police Traffic Bureau. Sgt. Devine stated there was a motor vehicle crash with serious injury that had just occurred at the intersection of Crafts Street and Waltham Street in Newton. Sgt. Devine stated that one of the parties involved had suffered life threatening injuries and was transported to Brigham and Women's Hospital. I responded to the scene and conducted an investigation of the crash with the assistance of Sgt. Devine and Captain Boudreau. Upon arrival it was reported to me by officers on scene that a party operating a motorized scooter on Crafts Street (E) had been struck by a 2007 Chrysler Town and Country (MA: 5EE316). The Chrysler was attempting to make a left turn from Crafts Street (W) onto Waltham Street (S). The operator of the motorized scooter, identified as Nadhir Tchikou (DOB: 11/23/1993), had suffered serious injuries to his head and left leg area and was transported to Brigham and Women's Hospital. It was reported to me that Officers Conary, Boyle, and Donovan were the first to arrive at the crash and provided life-saving care to Mr. Tchikou prior to being transported to Brigham and Women's Hospital. Officer Donovan responded to Brigham and Women's to keep us updated on Mr. Tchikou's status. The update provided to me while on scene was that Mr. Tchikou was in critical condition and in surgery. Due to the seriousness of the crash and potential fatal injury, Sgt. Devine contacted the Massachusetts State Police to assist in the investigation. Sgt. Mahoney and Trooper Paul responded as part of the Massachusetts State Police Crash Reconstruction team and conducted a supplemental investigation of the crash (MSP report 2020-CAR-000285). The location where the crash took place is Crafts Street and Waltham Street. Crafts Street and Waltham Street are public ways maintained by the City of Newton. Crafts Street and Waltham Street are municipal roadways that support two way travel for motor vehicles and bicycles with an unprotected median in the middle of both roadways to separate the direction of travel. This intersection was recently re-paved within the last month and has newly painted street markings including crosswalks, dedicated bicycle lanes, and stops lines at the intersections. Crafts Street at this intersection features two travels lanes. I observed the road surface to be dry at the time of my arrival on scene. The north lane in the westbound direction of Crafts Street permits travel straight ahead and also permits motorists/bicyclist to take a right turn onto Harding Street. The south lane in the westbound direction of Crafts Street is a dedicated left turn only lane that coincides with a left turn only arrow on the traffic signal in the middle of the intersection. The opposite side of Crafts Street permits traffic traveling in the eastbound lane to travel straight or take a left turn onto Harding Street from is a single lane travel lane. The area is well lit featuring street lights bright enough to illuminate the intersection for motorist traveling through the area. The weather at the time of the crash appeared to be clear. In the intersection where the crash took place, I observed a large debris field comprised of parts from a 2020 Tao Tao motorized scooter (49CC) and a 2007 Chrysler Town and Country (MA: 5EE316). I observed the motorized scooter (VIN: L9NTCBAG1L1010287) resting on its side facing North in the northbound lane of Crafts Street in the intersection. The motorized scooter has significant damage to its front, right, and left side and was inoperable. The area in the immediate vicinity of the motorized scooter was saturated with gasoline. The rear lights and dash of the motorized scooter were illuminated while I was observing the crash scene. The headlights were not intact due to the impact from the crash and I was unable to determine if they were functioning. The motorized scooter was removed from the roadway by Tody's Towing. The intersection where the crash took place had numerous first responders present immediately after the crash rendering aid to Mr. Tchikou prior to his transport to the hospital. It was reported by officers on scene that some of the items and debris in the intersection had been moved from their initial place of rest after the crash took place. A black MMG helmet was observed resting on the ground outside the debris field from the crash before the westbound left turn only lane of Crafts Street. It is unknown if it was moved from its initial place of rest by a first responder. I observed the strap on the helmet that would be used to secure it to the operator to be in good operable condition. I did not observe it to be defected and the securing feature of the strap was in working order. I did not observe any blood, hair, or other apparent physical evidence inside the helmet that would be consistent with the head injury reported to the operator of the motorized scooter. I observed what appeared to be fresh markings on the front mouth/nose area of the helmet. I observed a white Iphone with a red phone case lying on the roadway a short distance away from the impact area. The Iphone was on and displaying travel directions from the Iphone application Waze. The Iphone and the helmet were seized pending the status of the operator of MV2. A property/evidence form was completed and the Iphone and helmet were secured in property locker number 9. I spoke with the operator of MV1, William Moran (S34946215). Moran stated he was operating his white 2007 Chrysler Town and Country (MA: 5EE316) on Crafts Street (N) as he approached Waltham Street. Moran stated he had a green light and activated his left blinker as he approached the intersection with the intention of taking a left turn onto Waltham Street. Moran stated as he proceeded to take his left turn he saw "orange" and was unable to avoid hitting the object in front of him. Moran stated the object came out of nowhere and he swerved to the left in an attempt to avoid the crash. Moran stated after the collision he accelerated away from the impact area and came to a controlled stop on Waltham Street (S) just past the intersection. Moran stated he exited his vehicle and looked back at the intersection he had just travelled through. Moran stated as he began walking towards the intersection he observed a party laying on the roadway in the intersection. Moran stated the party was not wearing a helmet at this time. Moran also added that he believes the moped involved in the crash did not have its headlights on prior to impact. Moran stayed on scene and cooperated fully with officers during the investigation. A query of Moran's license and registration status through Newton Police Dispatched showed they are both active. I asked Moran if he was using a cell phone, GPS, or any other type of hand held device prior to the crash. Moran stated he was not. I asked Moran if he was distracted by anything either inside the vehicle or something on the roadway prior to the crash. Moran stated he was not. I asked Moran if he was currently impaired in any way that would impede his ability to operate a vehicle safely. Moran stated he was not. I asked Moran if he takes any medications or has a medical condition that would impede his ability to operate a vehicle safely. Moran stated he does not. Moran reported no injuries as a result of the crash. I observed Moran's vehicle at its controlled rest location. The vehicle was parked on Waltham Street (S) in the southbound lane just past the intersection of Crafts Street. The 2007 Chrysler Town and Country (MA: 5EE316) had substantial damage to the front passenger side bumper, hood, fender, windshield, and passenger door area. There was physical evidence of what appeared to be hair, blood, and tissue presumed to be from the operator of MV2 present in the cracked windshield, and on the passenger side door/mirror area. I observed a blue Commonwealth of Massachusetts "R" inspection sticker with a date of 05/28/2020 affixed to the windshield. Moran stated the rejection sticker was a result of an emissions failure. The inspection sticker expires in 2021. I asked Moran if there were any other mechanical issues with the vehicle. Moran stated there were no issues to his knowledge. I observed no objects present inside the vehicle during my investigation that would have potentially impeded the operators ability to see clearly through the windshield. I observed glass debris from the windshield inside the passenger and driver area of the vehicle. There was no air bag deployment inside the vehicle. Subsequent to my investigation, the vehicle was seized pending the status of the operator of MV2. The vehicle was towed from the scene by Tody's towing and secured in the Newton Police Department garage. The vehicle was escorted to the garage by Officer Donovan. A towed motor vehicle form was completed by Officer Donovan and the key for the vehicle was secured in property locker number 9. A property/evidence form was completed. Subsequent to my investigation Moran's black Alcatel cell phone was seized pending the status of the operator of MV2. A property/evidence form was completed and the phone was secured in property locker number 9. Officer Conary stated to me that prior to my arrival on scene she interviewed a witness to the crash and provided me with the following information. Joshua Hamel was operating his vehicle (W) in the right lane of Crafts Street towards Waltham Street. Hamel stated that MV1 (MA: 5EE136) was in the left turn lane on Crafts Street (W) towards Waltham. Hamel stated the scooter was headed eastbound on Crafts Street from Waltham. Hamel stated MV1 began to take a left turn and there was a head on collision with the scooter. Hamel stated he believed the traffic light at the time of the crash was green. On Friday, October 9, 2020, I spoke with Hamel via telephone. Hamel corroberated the statement he gave to Officer Conary. I asked Hamel if he believed the headlights on the motorized scooter were activated at the time of the crash. Hamel stated he believes the headlights on the motorized scooter were on as it approached the intersection but was not postive. On Wednesday, October 7, 2020, I spoke with Mr. Tchikou in his ICU room at Brigham and Women's Hospital. Tchikou's wife, Yami Carrajza, was present in the room while I spoke with him. Tchikou stated he had a significant head injury, injuries to his nasal cavity, his back, and a significant injury to his left leg. I asked Tchikou about his recollection of the crash. Tchikou stated he had just left his friend's home on Hazelhurt Avenue in Newton and was traveling home to Brighton to bring his wife dinner. Tchikou stated he was traveling Eastbound on Crafts Street as he approached the intersection of Crafts Street and Waltham Street. Tchikou stated he had a green light and as he entered the intersection a white vehicle took a turn from the opposite side of the road in front of him. Tchikou stated he does not remember anything after that. I asked Tchikou if he was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash. Tchikou stated he was. I explained to Tchikou that I recovered a white Iphone with a red case at the scene of the crash. Tchikou identified the Iphone as his. I explained that the phone was displaying travel directions when I found it and I asked Tchikou if he was distracted by his phone prior to the crash. Tchikou stated he was not distracted by the phone and the phone was in a holder on the motorized scooter. I asked Tchikou if he remembers if his headlights were activated on his motorized scooter at the time of the crash. Tchikou stated they were on. I asked Tchikou if he could produce paperwork for the motorized scooter to prove he was the owner. Tchikou stated he had recently purchased the scooter and the paperwork for it was at his residence. Tchkou's wife e-mailed me a picture of the Certificate of Origin for the motorized scooter. I asked Tchikou if he could produce a license or permit that would allow him to operate the motorized scooter. Tchikou stated he did not have a Massachusetts license or permit, but had an Algerian license at this residence. I was able to observe a picture of the license on his wife's cell phone. The written text on the license was in Arabic. Tchikou did not have a translation of the license in English and did not possess an International Driver's Permit. As a result of my investigation, Mr. William Moran while operating MV1 (MA: 5EE316) entered the travel lane of MV2 (Tchikou) as he was making a left turn onto Waltham Street from Crafts Street. MV2 had the right of way and MV1 failed to yield to MV2's right of way causing the collision to take place. Moran was advised of my investigation and issued Massachusetts Uniform Citation T0115914 via mail by request for Chapter 90, Section 8 (Fail To Yield To The Right Of Way At An Intersection.) Mr. Nadhir Tchikou operated his motor scooter at the time of the crash without a valid license/permit. Tchikou is also in violation of operation of a motor scooter after dark (prohibited). The crash occurred at 2147 hours. Tchikou will be issued Massachusetts Uniform Citation T0115915 in hand at Brigham and Women's Hospital for Chapter 90, Section 1E (Unlicensed Operation Of A Motor Scooter) and Chapter 90, Section 1E (Operation Of A Motor Scooter After Sunset - Hours Restriction.)

Narrative:
On Tuesday October 13, 2020 at approx 1323 hours I went to the area of Anthony Rd at Anthony Cir for a report of a past hit/run that occurred at approx. 1215 hours in the westbound lane of 697 Washington Street. Upon arrival I met the operator of v1 Ms. OLGA KHOLODENKO, she stated she was traveling westbound in the left lane of Washington Street around the Whole foods area which is 697 Washington Street. She stated while traveling a red truck with a red trailer was on her right side traveling along side her, and while traveling the trailer had "swung" into her passenger side of her vehicle. She stated the truck/trailer kept traveling and she followed the trailer and took pictures while driving. She then went home and called her insurance company with the picture of the registration plate and they gave her the information which brought them at Anthony Rd at Anthony Cir, where the registered owner lived. The truck / trailer was not at the location. The trailer is MA trailer reg # C39390 a 2013 Brav trailer color red registered to CIRO CARBONE AND SONS INC 12 ANTHONY CIR NEWTON MA. Her vehicle is a 2020 Kia utility color white MA reg. 6ZG351. I observed some red transferred paint on her passenger side from the rear door to the front door. I advised them of process and I would look into the trailer. I was able to find the truck/trailer on California St at Dalby Street. I looked around the trailer and observed a minor scratch on the driver side of the trailer near the front of the trailer. I contacted the owner who due to the heavy rain all day sent home his employees. I will update oper 2 statement when I talk to him. At this time it appears with the trailer scratch being minor a reasonable person would have not known. Update: Monday October 19, 2020 I spoke with the oper of v2 via phone, he stated he was on Washington Street near Whole Foods traveling westbound with the truck/trailer. He stated he was traveling in the right travel lane. He stated the truck/ trailer was always in the proper slow lane and didn't know about the contact until I notified him. I advised him of the crash process.

On Tuesday, October 27th 2020 at 18:40 hours, Myself N-499 and Ofc Crowe N498 responded to 546 Parker St for a single vehicle accident into a city tree. Upon arrival, I identified Mass Reg # 3GDM90, 2015 LEXS RX350, Color Gray had crashed into a City Tree. The airbags had not been deployed. The operator was no longer in the vehicle upon my arrival. He was identified as registered owner Brian Mcneill. Mcneill admitted he had operated the vehicle. Mcneill stated he was driving North on Parker St toward RT 9 headed home to Wellesley.

Narrative:
On Thursday 10/29/20 at approximately 0541 hours while assigned to marked unit n499 I was dispatched to the area of 130 Vine Street for a report of a single vehicle roll-over crash. Upon arrival myself and n496(Ofc. Howes) observed a white SUV on its roof facing westbound in the eastbound lane of Vine Street (a public way owned, operated and maintained by the City of Newton). Upon our arrival Newton Firefighters had extracated the operator, (FOSTER Isabelle), who was sitting on a large rock in the front yard of 130 Vine Street. FOSTER was visibly upset, but didnt appear to have any major injuries. I asked FOSTER what happened and she stated she was travelling from Westgate Rd in Boston on her way home to Wellesley. She took a right turn onto Vine Street from LaGrange Street and began travelling westbound. FOSTER stated that she was travelling too fast and didnt realize how the road curved causing her to veer off the road and strike a large tree in the front of 130 Vine Street. FOSTER was travelling at a speed fast enough to cause the vehicle to flip onto its roof in the opposite lane of traffic. FOSTER admitted to me she was travelling too fast on the road. Vine street is a winding road that is not very well lit. Speed limit on the road is 20mph and its estimated FOSTER was travelling at least 30-45mph. The speed coupled with FOSTER's lack of familiarity with the area and her inexperience driving were all contributing factors to the crash. FOSTER was issued Massachusetts Uniform Citation T2012909 with the following civil motor vehicle infractions; C90 s18 SPEEDING (Posted) C89 s4a Marked Lanes Violation. FOSTER was transported to Beth Israel hospital by the medics and I was unable to issue the citation in hand at the time of the crash. Due to FOSTER's age (17) I also wanted to notify her parents and meet with them and FOSTER upon her release from the hospital. At approximately 1700 Hours I met with Scott Foster(Father) in person, Jodi Foster (Mother) and Isabelle foster via cell phone (speaker phone). I discussed the charges with all parties and explained the citation to Isabelle. Citation was given in hand to her father, Scott Foster and brough the citation to Isabelle.

Narrative:
The owner of MV#1 had parked his vehicle at 10:03 in front of 1269 Centre St and returned to his vehicle at 12:00 to discover that it had been struck. Attached to the windshield of MV#1 was a handwritten note from a party that witnessed the accident. MV #1 sustained moderate damages to its front driver's side bumper. I spoke to the witness via telephone and he stated he was travelling southbound on Centre St directly behind MV#2 when he observed MV#2 sideswiped MV#1. The witness then observed the operator of MV#2 got out of his vehicle, looked at the damages to MV#1, retrieved a can of paint from a party standing on the sidewalk, got back into MV#2 and drove away. The witness stated MV#2 was a black colored "Dodge Ram" pick up truck bearing MA REG 2HLR81. The damages to MV#2 should be to its rear passenger side bumper. The witness described the operator of MV#2 as a white male in his 50's, 6' in height with a muscular build. A query of MV#2 showed that it is registered to a female party out of Weymouth MA. I attempted to contact the owner of MV#2 at phone #781 974-0307 and left a voicemail. I spoke to the Weymouth Police Dept and they will attempt to make contact with the owner of MV#2. I was able to speak to the owner of MV#2 and she stated her ex-boyfriend Richard Woodard has possession of MV#2 but does not speak to him often. She does not know Richard's personal information and provided me with his contact number of 617 631-0596. I spoke to Richard and he stated he was contacted by the owner of MV#2 and was already enroute to Police Headquarters. Richard arrived shortly after and he confirmed that he is the operator of MV#2 and was on Centre St retrieving paint earlier. Richard stated he was not aware he struck any other vehicles. I inspected MV#2 and did not observed any damages to its entire right side. I observed some minor scraping marks on the rear passenger side tire of MV#2. The rear passenger tire of MV#2 would be the most likely part of the vehicle that made contact with MV#1 and also consistent with the witness's statements. Based on the statements made to me by Richard and the fact that there were no visible damages to MV#2 besides its rear tire, it is possible that Richard was not aware he made contact with MV#1. All parties involved were provided with this accident report and advised to contact their insurance providers. There were no reported injuries to all parties involved. I will not pursue this matter further.
