Narrative:
On Friday, January 7, 2022, while assigned to Traffic unit N525, I responded to the area of Commonwealth Avenue and Auburn Street, Newton for a report of a City of Newton plow truck that knocked over a traffic signal and left the area. The weather at the time of the crash was overcast and snow. The road surface was wet. Commonwealth Avenue and Auburn Street are both public ways maintained by the City of Newton. On arrival to this area, I observed a traffic signal resting on the sidewalk in front of 1897 Commonwealth Avenue. The traffic signal was cracked at it's base, and still functioning while resting on the sidewalk. The traffic signal when operation faces traffic traveling Westbound on the Commonwealth Avenue carriage road at Auburn Street. An anonymous resident of the area approached me and showed me a picture on their phone of the truck that left the area after crashing into the traffic signal. The photo was of a large City of Newton orange dump truck with a plow affixed to the front of it. I could not make out the registration of the vehicle, but I could see the number 48 on it's side to identify it. I requested Newton Dispatch contact the DPW to identify who the operator of the vehicle was. A message was left for Mr. Perry Cacciola (Newton DPW) for information about the crash. On Monday, January 10, 2021, I spoke with Mr. Cacciola. Mr. Cacciola stated Donald Leblanc (S00405419) was the operator of the plow responsible for the damage to the traffic signal. Mr. Cacciola stated he could not provide any information about the vehicle used in the crash, except that it was number 48. I then spoke with Mr. Leblanc. Mr. Leblanc stated he was operating the City of Newton plow involved in the crash. Mr. Leblanc stated the snow at the time of the crash was packed down and the plow made contact with the traffic signal while he was clearing the snow in front of 1897 Commonwealth Avenue. Mr. Leblanc stated he contacted his supervisor, Perry Cacciola, sometime after the the incident to reprot the damage. Mr. Leblanc reported no injuries. Photos were taken of the damaged traffic signal and submitted to the IT Bureau.

Narrative:
On Thursday, January 20, 2022, while assigned to Traffic unit N525, I responded to the area of 1446 Beacon Street, Newton for a report of an MVA involving a City of Newton contracted school bus. The weather at the time of the crash was light rain. The road surface was wet. Beacon Street is a public way maintained by the City of Newton. I spoke with the operator of MV1, Mr. Ralph Ghera (S43446773). Mr. Ghera stated he is a driver for JSC Transportation (contracted by the City of Newton) and was picking up a student to transport them to Newton South High School. Mr. Ghera stated his vehicle, a 2019 Ford Transit Van (MA SPN: 109403 ), was parked in front of Beacon Street (E) with it's red flashing lights activated while Ms. Ella Glennon was entering the vehicle for transport. At this time, MV2 (2020 Lincoln Aviator (MA: 3AB494) travelled past MV1 Eastbound on Beacon Street and disregarded the flashing lights that were activated on the van. MV2's front passenger side door mirror made contact with MV1's front driver side door mirror. I observed very minor damage to the mirrors on both vehicles. No injuries were reported. I spoke with Ella's father, Ian Glennon, on scene and made him aware of his daughters involvement in the crash. Mr. Glennon stated his daughter was not injured. Ella was then transported to Newton South by Mr. Ghera. The operator of MV2, Mr. Yipei Zhang (S13848781), was issued Massachusetts Uniform Citation 265793AB in hand for Chapter 90, Section 14 (Fail to stop for a school bus). Photos were taken and submitted to the IT Bureau.
