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 01/26/19 at 09:58 hours, I responded to a two car motor vehicle accident at Chestnut and Elliot Streets with no reported injuries. Both streets are public ways and maintained by the City of Newton. Operator of M/V # 1 (Quinn) states that she was stopped at the intersection of the above mentioned intersection going (EB) on Elliot Street. Once she received the green light signal she proceeded straight through and was struck by M/V # 2 on her passenger side. The vehicle sustained heavy damage to the passenger side front quarter panel area and it was towed by Tody's towing. Operator of M/V # 2 (Sanaguaray) states that he was operating straight ahead (NB) on Chestnut Street. He states that he thought the signal light was yellow when he proceeded through and does not recall what happened next. The vehicle sustained heavy front end damage and it was towed by Tody's towing. There were two witnesses to the accident. The first one, Karen Cherson, stated that she was traveling behind M/V # 2 when she observed him speeding and run through the red light striking M/V # 1. She said that the light was red by at least two seconds when M/V # 2 went through it. The second witness, John Quackenbush, states he was operating behind M/V # 1 when he observed their travel lane receive the green light signal. M/V # 1 then attempted to proceed through the intersection when it was struck on the passenger side by M/V # 2. Based on the two witness statements, it appears that Sanaguaray (M/V # 2) proceeded straight through the above mentioned intersection against the red light signal and struck M/V # 1. Sanaguaray was also operating a motor vehicle without a license and was issued a MA Uniform Citation # T1441052 for Ch. 89/9 and Ch. 90/10/A. He further stated that he has resided in Massachusetts for five years and was assigned a number of #S19552221 through the MA RMV but it shows no license status.

Narrative:
On 01/31/19 at 08:56 hours, I responded to Dedham and Walnut Streets for a two car motor vehicle accident with no injuries. Operator of M/V 1 states he was stopped for the stop sign facing northbound on Dedham St towards Walnut St. He then proceeded straight through and observed M/V 2 coming at him so he tried to speed up but M/V 2 ended up striking him on the driver's side rear quarter panel area. He did state that M/V 2 did stop for the stop sign after him but did not understand why they were attempting to come through the intersection. The vehicle sustained minor damage to the driver's side rear quarter panel area and had a flat tire. The operator waited for Triple AAA for the flat. Operator of M/V 2 states she was stopped at the stop sign facing eastbound on Dedham St attempting to take a left turn on to Walnut St. Due to the bright sun and glare, she did not observe M/V 1 coming through the intersection and struck him. The vehicle sustained front end damage to the grille and bumper but the vehicle was still driveable. At the time, I did observe the sun to be blinding at the accident location and there was a lot of glare.

Narrative:
On 2/1/19 I was working N496 when I responded to a 2 car MVA at 15 Cypress St. with a road rage incident ( incident # 19004330). Upon arrival I spoke with Edward Macaleese. Macaleese stated MA reg 2EE232 (being operated by Fabian Castillo) was tailgating him while traveling southbound on Cypress St. so he pulled to the side to allow him to pass. After Castillo passed Macaleese he slammed on his brakes causing Macaleese to rear end Castillo. I spoke with Castillo who stated that he was traveling southbound on Cypress St. when the vehicle in front of him (Macaleese) began driving "much slower than the speed limit". Castillo stated the Macaleese pulled over to allow him to pass, after Castillo began to slow in traffic due to a vehicle pulling out. Macaleese struck Castillo from behind. Both parties stated they were not injured. Both vehicle were still drive able. Both parties were provided an accident report number.

Narrative:
MV1 was traveling SOUTH on Cherry St through the intersection of Webster St. MV2 was traveling WEST on Webster St through the same intersection. MV2 collided with MV1 inside of the Cherry St/Webster St intersection causing heavy front end damage to MV2 and damage to the rear drivers side wheel and fender. MV1 operator, Leah Wilson, stated that she had a green light and proceeded through the intersection when she was hit by MV2. MV2 operator, Caroline Steiner, and her 12yo daughter (passenger/front seat) Lorelai Steiner, stated that they were proceeding through the green light and observed MV1 going at a high rate of speed through the intersection. No injuries reported. Both vehicles towed by Tody's. MV1 operator, Leah Wilson was issued in hand MA Uniform Citation T1440472 for 89/9 - Red Light/Fail. On scene, I observed debris surrounding the four-way intersection and MV1 laid to rest past the intersection and facing the wrong direction in traffic. The damage to both vehicles was severe and MV1 had air bag deployment. The reporting party was an NPD auxiliary officer who had responded prior to my arrival because he heard the crash from the backyard of the police station which is approximately 350-400ft. Based on my training and experience, I believed Leah Wilson to be traveling through the intersection while failing to yield to the traffic control device.

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 the above date/time I responded to the area of Cherry Street and Webster Street for a three motor vehicle crash with injuries. Upon arrival along with Sgt. Dempsey, Fire/medics. I spoke with the operator of vehicle one. He stated he was stopped on Webster Street facing westbound a the red traffic signal. He further stated the traffic signal on Webster Street turned green, he accelerated forward. He stated vehicle two traveled north on Cherry Street at a high rate of speed through the red traffic signal. He stated he had no reaction time due to the speed of vehicle two and had impact. I spoke to the operator of vehicle two. He stated he was traveling north on Cherry Street going too fast, he stated he thought it was a school zone so he slowed down and he did not observe the color of the traffic signal. He stated he observed vehicle one come out of the Webster Street at the last second at impact. I spoke with the operator of vehicle three. She stated only remembered being stopped on Cherry Street facing south. She stated she did not remember what color the traffic signal was, just knew she was stopped when she felt heavy impact from vehicle two. Injuries: Oper of V1 none at this time- patient refusal Oper of V2 none at this time - patient refusal Oper of V3 Head laceration and head trauma, transported to Newton- Wellesley Hospital Tody's towing arrived on scene and towed vehicles two, three to their tow lot. All proper paper work was done for a towed vehicle(s). All parties advised of the process. After the vehicles were towed, and the scene was cleared I watched the cycling of the traffic signals in the intersection and observed they were functioning properly. It appears a this time based on statements and physical characteristics of the impact area on the roadway, that vehicle two went through the red light on Cherry Street, which caused the crash.

Narrative:
Mrs. Weiss stated that she was attempting to back out of her driveway at 285 Crafts Street when her vehicle accelerated for no reason "like a bat out of hell." The vehicle then crossed Crafts street at a high rate of speed, jumped the curb, crossed the large grass island, and only stopped when the vehicle crashed into a tree. Mrs. Weiss was uninjured and signed a patient refusal. The vehicle sustained moderate damage to the tires, undercarriage, and rear bumper and was towed from the scene by Todys. Photos were taken of the damaged city tree and were placed in the IT bureaus mailbox to be attached to this report. Based on the facts that Mrs. Weiss could not explain the reason for the cars acceleration, the distance the vehicle traveled without stopping, and the close proximity of the crash to an elementary and middle school I filed a request for Immediate Threat License Suspension/Revocation. All proper paperwork as well as a copy of this report were faxed to the Registry of Motor Vehicles.

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

Narrative:
On 06/08/2019 at 0150 hours I received a call from Sgt Lee in regard to a head on motor vehicle crash with entrapment that had occurred on Center St at the four way intersection with Cabot St and Sergeant St. Upon my arrival at the crash scene I was advised by Sgt Lee that all occupants of the involved vehicles had been transported to hospitals for treatment. I made the following observations of the crash scene , Center St is a two lane public way in the city of Newton that runs north to south. I observed a city of Newton contracted Cataldo ambulance stopped in the south bound lane of Center St at Cabot St. The ambulance was MA AMN registration AMB 370 a 2017 Ford Econo Line that had heavy damage to the front end and driver's side fender. I observed that the front tire of the ambulance was snapped off and was pushed back towards the driver's side door. I further observed that both of the front and side air bags of the ambulance were deployed. The front of the ambulance's final point of rest was 8'8" from a fixed overhead light pole on the northeast corner of Center St at Cabot St. The ambulance's front passenger side tire was 4'3" front the curb on the Cabot St side. The ambulance's rear passenger side tire was 2'3" from the Cabot St side curb. The ambulance's rear driver side tire was 5'1" from the double yellow line on Center St. The ambulance's front driver side tire was 6'3"from the Center St double yellow line. The width of Center St from the double yellow line to the Center St curb is 15'' and 16'" to the Sergeant St side. I observed a 2011 Mazda 3 with MA PAN registration 6KJ783 facing south bound in the north bound lane. The Mazda had heavy damage to it's front end, and I observed that it's front tires had snapped off. The Mazda's roof had been removed by Newton Fire to extract the occupant. The front of the Mazda's final point of rest was 40'3" from a fixed overhead light pole on the northeast corner of Center St and Sergeant St. The Mazda's front passenger tire was 4'6" from the double yellow line on Center St. The Mazda's rear passenger side tire was 7'6" from the Center St double yellow line. The Mazda's rear passenger side tire was 1'2" from the Center St double yellow line. The Mazda's front driver's side tire was on the curb on the Sergeant St side of Center St. There were no skid marks from the Mazda which indicates that no braking occurred. At the time of the crash, the Cataldo Ambulance was being operated by Paramedic Corey Bohan and Paramedic Tom White was in the front passenger seat. Bohan stated that he was operating his vehicle southbound on Center St towards Cabot St after clearing a medical call. There were no patients in the ambulance at the time of the crash, and Bohan estimated he was travelling 25 MPH . Bohan stated within less than two seconds he observed a vehicle traveling towards him northbound on Center St in the southbound lane and estimated it's speed to be approximately 80 to 100 MPH.Bohan stated he was able to slow to a near stop and had moved his vehicle towards the right shoulder on Center St before the Mazda struck his vehicle head on. Bohan stated that after forcing his way out of the driver's seat of his vehicle, he rendered medical aid to the operator and only occupant of the Mazda, Jessica Pondish. Bohan stated that Pondish speech was slurred and he detected an odor of an alcoholic beverage emanating from her breath and person. Bohan was later transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital for evaluation. The passenger in the ambulance, Tom White stated to officers that he was working on the ambulance's laptop computer and did not see anything leading up to the impact from the crash. White stated that he was able to force himself free of the passenger side of the ambulance, and rendered medical aid to Pondish. White stated that Pondish was " in and out of it " and did not appear coherent.White stated that he asked Pondish if she had consumed any alcoholic beverage and she nodded in the affirmative. White Stated that he was unsure if Pondish understood his questions. White stated that he did not detect any odor of an alcohol beverage emanating from Pondish's breath or person. White was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital for evaluation. Pondish was freed from her vehicle after approximately 22 minutes by Newton Fire Department units by utilizing special extraction tools. Pondish was transported by Newton Medic Unit Two to the Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston for treatment. From 06/08/2019 to 06/10/2019 Pondish had two surgeries and was unable to speak due to her condition. On 06/10/2019 myself and Officer Gaudet were able to speak with Pondish in her hospital ICU room at the Brigham and Women's Hospital. Pondish's parents Lorena and John Pondish were present while we spoke with her. Officer Gaudet asked Pondish about the events that led up to the crash. Pondish stated that on 06/07/2019 she was at a friend's residence in Norton, MA. Pondish stated that while at her friend's residence she consumed a bottle and a half of Riesling wine. After Pondish's admission myself and Officer Gaudet stopped our conversation with her. I read Pondish her rights directly from a Miranda card and explained them in full before allowing her to continue speaking with myself and Officer Gaudet about the events of that led to the crash. Pondish stated that she understood her rights. Officer Gaudet asked Pondish if she had consumed any alcoholic beverages prior to driving home to her residence in Newton. Pondish stated that she drank a bottle and a half of Riesling wine by herself between the hours of 1700 and 0000 hours on 06/08/2019. Officer Gaudet asked Pondish how large the bottles of wine was that she drank, and she stated that they were average size. Officer Gaudet asked Pondish how she perceived her state of being was after consuming a bottle and a half of wine. Pondish stated that she felt " buzzed " . Pondish stated that she left her friend's residence in Norton at approximately 0100 hours on 06/08/2019 to return to her residence in Newton. Pondish stated that she does recall the events leading up to the crash, except that she tried to make a phone call but the person did not pick up. Pondish stated that her seat belt was on and that she was not texting while operating her vehicle. Pondish stated that her injuries consisted of a broken left elbow and internal injures to her intestines. On 06/09/2019 I spoke to Cataldo Paramedic Robert Canning and Stephen Heirholcer who were the medic unit that transported Pondish to the Brigham and Women's Hospital. Canning stated that he rendered medical aid to Pondish for approximately 20 minutes while Fire units worked to free her. Canning stated that Pondish's legs were pinned under her vehicle's dashboard. Canning stated that during the approximately 20 minutes that he was in close proximity to Pondish he could detect a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage that was emanating from her breath and person. Canning stated that once Pondish was freed he continued to treat and monitor her during the transport to the Brigham and Women's Hospital. Canning stated that when he asked Pondish if she had consumed any alcoholic beverage she stated that she had. Paramedic Heirholcer stated that he did not detect any odor of an alcoholic beverage emanating from Pondish's breath or person. Based upon the physical evidence at the crash scene, and statements made to officers by all of the above mentioned persons, Pondish is being charged with violation of MGLs 90/24j OUI liquor, 90/24e negligent operation of a motor vehicle, 89/4a failure to stay within marks lanes, and 90/17 speeding. On 06/12/2019 at the conclusion of the crash investigation I issued MA Criminal Application T 1269996 in hand to Pondish at her hospital room and explained to her what action she needed to take with court. On 06/11/2019 a letter of preservation was sent to Brigham and Women's Hospital requesting that a sample of Pondish's blood, urine and medical records be saved. On 06/12/2019 Brigham and Women's Hospital confirmed that a sample of Pondish's blood had been preserved. As of 06/12/2019 a search warrant for Pondish's blood sample was pending. Photos of the involved vehicles and of the crash scene were taken and downloaded by the NPD's IT Bureau. Both involved vehicles were towed from the crash scene and towed motor vehicle forms were filled out. An Iphone and backpack belonging to Pondish were taken from her vehicle for safekeeping and returned to her on 06/11/2019. A copy of this report was faxed to the MA RMV Driver Control Unit to request an immediate threat suspension.

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

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 02/26/2020 I responded to the area of Eastbourne Rd and Ireland Rd for a motor vehicle crash involving a pedestrian. Eastbourne RD is a public way which runs from Ward St north bound intersecting with Ireland Rd on the far north end. Ireland RD is a public way which runs west to east. Both the east end and the west end of Ireland Rd are dead ends. The crash occured on Ireland Rd's east end near the intersection of Eastbourne Rd. The crash involved Vehicle 1 described as a 2016 Acura SUV color grey bearing MA passenger registration 3RB127. Vehicle 1 had a valid inspection sticker which expires on 08/30/2020. Vehicle 1 was operated by its owner identified as Barbara Ball. Ball has an active MA Operators License (S18727836). The involved pedestrian was identified as Bruce Terrio. Terrio is an employee of Feeney Brothers Utility Services. Feeney Brothers Utility Services is a contractor of National Grid Gas Company. Upon arrival I observed the following: The crash occurred in the daylight hours around 10:30am on Ireland Rd near the intersection of Eastbourne Rd. At the time of the crash the weather conditions were clear, 48 degrees Fahrenheit and overcast skies (weather.gov). The area where the crash occurred was an active construction site for Feeney Brothers Utility Services. The area of the crash is a dead end. The area is accessed from Ward St from either Eastbourne Rd or Coolidge Rd. The entrances of both Eastbourne Rd and Coolidge Rd had construction signs indicating utility work in the area. At the time of the crash, all roadways were open to vehicle traffic. On the eastbound side of Eastbourne Rd just prior to the intersection of Ireland Rd, I observed a large air compressor which was parked in the roadway facing south bound. No traffic cones were located near the air compressor. To the right of the air compressor were thick green bushes. A wooden fence was located to the right side of the green bushes. On the east side of Ireland Rd I observed a large excavated hole on the right side of the roadway. The hole was near the intersection of Eastbourne Rd and was located approximately three feet from the curb. I observed four traffic cones, two on the front side and two on the left side of the hole. Located on the front edge of the hole was a tire print. Vehicle 1 was located on the west end of Ireland Rd. The front passenger tire of Vehicle 1 had fresh dirt located on the sidewalls and the tire tread. Vehicle 1 appeared to have no visible damage. The pedestrian (Terrio) was being treated by EMS and Fire for injuries. Terrio was wearing brown pants and a green reflective safety vest. I spoke with the operator of Vehicle 1 Barbara Ball. Ball stated that she was operating Vehicle 1 northbound on Eastbourne Rd near the intersection of Ireland Rd. Ball stated that she made a right turn onto Ireland Rd and drove on to the edge of the excavated hole. Ball stated that her vehicle then made impact with Terrio who was in the hole. Ball stated that she immediately stopped, backed out of the hole and called 911. Ball stated that prior to making a right turn onto Ireland Rd, there were no traffic cones in the roadway or next to the hole. Ball stated that as she made the right turn onto Ireland Rd she did not observe Terrio or the hole until it was too late. Ball states that she resides at 80 Eastbourne Rd which is the residence located to the immediate right of the crash location. Ball states that she had been recently parking on Ireland Rd due to ongoing construction at her residence. Ball states that she was traveling at a slow speed prior to impact. At the time of the crash there were three other Feeney Brothers employees working at the site. These workers were identified as Steven Gamble, Mike Cabrinma and Gerard McComaskey. At the time of the crash all three workers were located further up Eastbourne Rd near the intersection of Coolidge Rd and did not observe the crash. At the time of the crash, Newton Police Sergeant Glenn Chisholm was working a paid detail for Feeney Brothers. Sergeant Chisholm stated that he did not observe the crash.Terrio was transported by Cataldo EMS for minor injuries. Several photos were taken of the scene. Photos were taken of the hole with traffic cones and without traffic cones. All photo's were submitted to the IT Bureau. After clearing the scene, I responded to St Elizabeth's Hospital in Brighton, MA to interview Terrio. Terrio stated that at the time of the crash he was standing in the hole on Ireland Rd performing gas utility work. Terrio stated that the front passenger side bumper of Vehicle 1 struck him in the right shoulder. Terrio stated that the impact caused him to lose his balance and fall down in the hole. Terrio states that after falling down he was able to climb out of the hole without assistance. Terrio stated that at the time of impact he was wearing a white hard hat which he thinks struck the pavement on the edge of the hole. Terrio states that at the time of the crash he was working alone in the hole. Terrio states that at the time of the crash traffic cones were located near the hole. Terrio stated that as a result of the impact he sustained minor injuries to his right shoulder and back. I then observed Terrio's hard hat which appeared to have a fresh scrape mark on the top. The hard hat also had broken interior straps. Terrio stated that the straps broke when he was struck by Vehicle 1. Photos were taken of the hard hat and were submitted to the IT Bureau. After reviewing all facts of this incident, Vehicle 1 appeared to have been traveling at a slow speed prior to the crash. This was evident due to the lack of tire skid marks prior to the tire print on the edge of the hole. It also appears that Ball's view of the hole and Terrio may have been obstructed by the parked air compressor on Eastbourne Rd. The thick green bushes and a wooden fence to the right of the air compressor also added to the obstructed view. The hole was also located in close proximity to the air compressor which reduced Vehicle 1's reaction time. Jeff Oliver of OSHA was also notified of this incident. Photographs of the scene were provided to Oliver.

Narrative:
On Tuesday, March 31st 2020, at approximately 5:11pm, I, Officer Brooks, responded to 580 Washington street for a motor vehicle accident. Upon arrival I spoke with the operator of MV1(MA REG 5TRL60) who stated he was pulling out of the parking lot of 580 Washington street, and was attempting to turn left to head westbound on Washington street. He stated he was already in the first eastbound lane of traffic when MV2( MA REG 1KL458) came at a high rate of speed eastbound on Washington street in the center lane and struck his vehicle. After striking his vehicle, MV2 hit MV3(MA REG7BG273) which was parked legally in front of 580 Washington street. The collision caused MV3 to hit MV4(MA REG 3AGN11) which was parked legally in front of MV3. MV1 had damage to the front passenger side bumper. I then spoke with the operator of MV2 who stated she was traveling eastbound on Washington street in the far right lane. She states MV1 pulled out of the parking lot of 580 Washington street and struck her vehicle causing her to loose control and hit MV3 which was parked. Her car had airbag deployment and damage to the passenger side rear wheel well as well as the front end. MV 3 had damage to the rear end and front end. MV4 had minor scratches to the rear bumper. Nobody was injured in the accident, and the operator of MV2 signed a refusal with Cataldo. Tody's towed MV2 due to the damage. A motor vehicle inventory was filled out and filed.

Narrative:
The OP. of MV#1 was unable to give me a statement due to a possible head injury. He kept repeating "where's my car" and "what happened?" Witness#1 (Mr. Regan) states he was travelling westbound on Auburn St. when MV#1 went to the oncoming traffic lane and passed him on the left at a high rate of speed. He estimates the speed at 70mph. He saw MV#1 hit the speed bump on Auburn St., possibly losing control, and then onto Evergreen Ave. with a large cloud of dust. Witness#2(Mr. Weishaus) was on his balcony and observed MV#1 travel at a high speed of rate on Auburn St. He estimates the speed at 100mph. He observed MV#1 go up Evergreen Ave., launch into the air and crashed. Witness#3(Mr. Litvak) states he was on his porch and heard a loud sound of a motor engine approaching. MV#1 then crashed into his retainer wall and flew through some trees before landing on his neighbor's yard. Based on witness statements and the accident scene, it appears that MV#1 went off the roadway and struck a retainer wall at #15 Evergreen Ave, launched into the air and struck parked MV#2 in the process, went through some trees that flipped the car around before landing on the property of #23 Evergreen Ave. The OP. of MV#1 was ejected from the vehicle at some point in time. Pictures were taken of the accident scene.

Narrative:
On 06/10/2020 at approximately 16:30 hours, Sgt. Lee (Unit 531) and I (Unit 523) responded to Waverley Avenue and Sargent Street for a two car motor vehicle accident that involved one vehicle rolling over and a possible head injury to that driver. The accident occurred at 16:11 hours on this date. Both streets are public ways and maintained by the City of Newton. On arrival, I observed a black Hyundai Elantra (MV1) bearing MA Reg.# 1DHN15 resting in the middle of the intersection facing eastbound on Sargent Street heading towards Kenrick Street. The vehicle had heavy front end damage. I then observed a gray Honda CRV (MV2) bearing MA Reg.# 8DZB10 rolled over resting on it's hood facing in a northeasterly direction in the southbound travel lane of Waverley Avenue just past the intersection. I observed the point of impact to be on the passenger side rear wheel area due to the damage which included a large dent above the tire well. Digital photos were taken of the scene and intersection. At this point the operator, Jose Valderrama (MA DL# S27590058), of MV2 was already transported to Beth Israel Hospital in Boston, MA for a possible head injury. The operator was also not aware of what occurred at the time by the responding officers. It was also determined by the initial responding officers (Sgt. Rooney, Ofc. Pohlman & Ofc. Anderson) that Mr. Valderrama driver's license was suspended in Massachusetts by NPD Dispatch. Next, I spoke to the operator of MV1 identified as Cora Lyden (ME DL# 8625330). Lyden states that she was traveling straight ahead (EB) on Sargent Street attempting to go straight through the intersection on to Kenrick Street. She says as she approached the intersection the signal light changed to yellow and she proceeded through when she suddenly saw MV2 coming at her. She then jammed on her brakes and then made contact with the other vehicle. She says that the other driver must have been speeding and went through the red light. Next, Sgt. Lee and I responded to Beth Israel Hospital for a follow up on Mr. Valderrama. The hospital staff stated that there were no signs of a head injury and that he was now coherent. He sustained road rash on his left arm and shoulder area due to the seatbelt and front air bag deployment. We then spoke to him and he stated that he was traveling straight ahead (SB) on Waverley Avenue at about 30 to 35 miles per hour. He says that his signal light was green when he attempted to go through the intersection and another motor vehicle made contact with him. After that, he does not recall what occurred. I asked him if he saw the other vehicle approaching and he stated that he did not see it. After at the station, I followed up with Dispatch and they stated that there was two people that called in to report the accident that they attempted to call back to see if they witnessed the event. They had since not returned their call. I then called both numbers and both parties stated that they were only notifying us and did not observe the accident occur. Due to conflicting statements by both operators and no witnesses on scene, I am unable to determine fault for the accident. Mr. Valderrama will be issued MA Uniform Citation #T2080466 for Ch. 90/S23/E Operating a Motor Vehicle after Suspension of License. Tody's towing responded and towed both vehicles. M/V inventories completed by me.

Upon arrival I observed Ma Reg 579AM3 a gray Toyt Rav 4 and Ma Reg 219w70 a red Toyota Corolla in the middle of the EB lanes of Washington St both with significant damage, front and side airbag deployment and fluids leaking. I ascertained the operators were not hurt and called for two tows and NFD for speedy dry. I spoke with the operator of the red Toyt Brendan OCONNOR who stated he was travelling EB on Washington St, had the green light, was proceeding through the intersection when he was struck by the operator of the Toyt Rav 4,Gabriella NUGENT. I spoke with NUGENT who stated she was attempting to take the left onto Quinobequin Rd from the WB lane of Washington St when she collided with OCONNOR. NUGENT acknowledged that although the light was green WB she did not have the left arrow to turn. Both cars towed by Todys, both Nugent and OCONNOR signed patient refusals with Cataldo ambulance.

On Wednesday, 7/1/2020, at 2230hrs, I was dispatched to the area of 856 Watertown St for a report of a possible car crash. Watertown St is a public way as it is owned and maintained by the City of Newton. Upon arrival, I met with operator, Henok Kiflit, who was out of the vehicle and very disorientated. I observed a gash on his head right above his eye and noticed all airbags had been deployed in his vehicle. I asked him to sit down and I radioed for an ambulance. Kiflit stated that he was driving EAST on Watertown St when he collided with a unoccupied parked car (a red 2015 Jeep Wrangler, MA Con R22519) which was parked on the street outside of 856 Watetown St. Kiflit was driving his girlfriend's car (a gray 2020 Nissan Sentra, MA Reg 1ANN57) and was on his way home in Watertown. When I asked for Kiflit's license, he told me that he only has a permit and has yet to take the test. He apologized repeatedly. Kiflit did not have any passengers in his vehicle. Kiflit said the roadway was so dark and he didn't see the parked Jeep. He claimed he was not speeding. There was minimal damage done to the drivers side rear bumper of the Jeep. The Nissan had extensive front end damage and was subsequently towed by Tody's Towing. Towed motor vehicle form filled out and filed, copy made for police prosecutor. Owner of the Jeep came out and took possession of the vehicle. Kiflit was taken to NWH for evaluation of his injuries. Kiflit's driver history shows that he had an surchargable accident recently 05/30/2020. Massachusetts Uniform Citation T2080927 was filled out and prepared to be mailed to Kiflit at his Watertown address. Henok Kiflit is being cited for: 90/10 - Operating without a License (Learner's Permit violation; Kiflit, operator, was not accompanied by any motorist)

Narrative:
Vehicle 1 was stopped in traffic on Commonwealth Ave at the intersection of Washington St. Both Commonwealth Ave and Washington St are public ways in the City of Newton. Vehicle 1 was located in the left turn lane of the westbound side of Commonwealth Ave. Vehicle 2 was located westbound side of Commonwealth Ave in the left turn lane. Vehicle 2 was located directly behind Vehicle 1. Vehicle 2 then moved forward colliding with the rear of Vehicle 1. Vehicle 2 then drove around Vehicle 1 and made a left hand turn on to Washington St from the center lane of Commonwealth Ave. Vehicle 2 left the area without leaving any identifying information. As a result of the impact Vehicle 1 sustained damage to the rear bumper. Since Vehicle 2 left the scene the damage to Vehicle 2 is unknown. No injuries were reported on scene, no transports were required. No tows were required. The operator of Vehicle 1 identified as Borris Partensky stated that he was stopped in traffic in the left turn only lane of Commonwealth Ave westbound awaiting the red light. Partensky stated that he was then rear ended by Vehicle 2. Partensky stated that he then got out of this vehicle and signaled to the operator of Vehicle 2 to stop. Partensky stated that Vehicle 2 did not stop, quickly drove around Vehicle 1 and made a left hand turn from the center lane of Commonwealth Ave on to Washington St. Partensky described the operator of Vehicle 2 as a white male in his early 20's with dark hair. Partensky described Vehicle 2 as a newer model Chevrolet Silverado Pickup color white with a paper temporary license plate. Partensky states that the license plate may have started with the numbers "33" and ended with "IT". The state of the license plate is unknown. Partensky stated that his vehicle is a Tesla which has the ability to take photographs. Partensky states he will download the images and send them to me. I also spoke to witness Deb Finamore. Finamore states that she is a city of Newton employee and at the time of the crash was operating her personal vehicle (Ford Escape color Black).Finamore also stated that prior to the crash between Vehicle 1 and Vehicle 2 she observed Vehicle 2 tailgating her vehicle as she was traveling westbound on Commonwealth Ave. Finamore stated that Vehicle 2 tried to pass her several times on Commonwealth Ave and eventually made a left turn off of Commonwealth Ave on to Temple St. Finamore states that she was stopped in traffic at the intersection of Commonwealth Ave and Washington St and was located directly in front of Vehicle 1. Finamore states that she then observed Vehicle 2 located behind Vehicle 1. Finamore states that she that when she got a green signal she made a left turn onto Washington St and heard the impact of the collision between Vehicle 1 and Vehicle 2. Finamore states that she then observed in her rear view mirror Vehicle 2 drive around Vehicle 1 and make a left turn southbound onto Washington St. Finamore states that she attempted to get the registration information of Vehicle 2 however Vehicle 2 continued southbound on Washington St at a high rate of speed. Finamore states that she then followed Vehicle 2 at a safe distance and observed Vehicle 2 commit a red light violation at the intersection of Washington St and the entrance of Newton Wellesley Hospital (2014 Washington St). Finamore states that Vehicle 2 went around stopped traffic at the intersection by entering the left turn only lane to pass stopped traffic to the right. Finamore states that she then observed Vehicle 2 commit another red light violation at the intersection of Beacon St and Washington St. Finamore states that Vehicle 2 entered the left turn only lane at the intersection to pass stopped traffic to the right. Finamore states that she then lost sight of Vehicle 2 as it continued southbound on Washington St. Finamore described Vehicle 2 as a newer model Chevrolet pickup truck color white. Finamore believes that Vehicle 2 had a paper temporary plate, unknown registration number or state of registration. Finamore described the operator of Vehicle 2 as a young white male in his 20's. On 08/03/2020 I was able to view photo's of Vehicle 2 taken by witness Deb Finamore. The photo's revealed Vehicle 2's rear registration plate as 333991T. An NCIC check revealed that this registration belongs to a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado color white out of Maryland. The Maryland RMV also lists the vehicle registration as stolen. No further information was provided by the Maryland RMV. In the photo's Vehicle 2 also appears to be a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado color white. At this time I am unable to identify the operator of Vehicle 2. I called and notified the owner of Vehicle 1 Borris Partensky of my findings. Partensky will be providing this information to his insurance company.

Narrative:
On Tuesday, September 1, 2020, while assigned to marked unit N496, I responded to the area of 780 Beacon Street, Newton for a report of a motor vehicle crash involving a bicyclist. The weather at the time of the crash was clear and sunny. The road surface was dry. Beacon Street is a public way maintained by the City of Newton. I spoke with the operator of the vehicle involved in the crash, Dina Hudson (S33833807). Ms. Hudson stated she was sitting in her 2015 white Jeep Grand Cherokee (MA: 727SZ7) that was parked (E) in a metered parking spot in front of 780 Beacon Street. Ms. Hudson stated traffic in the Eastbound lane of Beacon Street to her left was stopped. There was a red light ahead at the intersection and traffic had built up past where her vehicle was parked. Ms. Hudson stated she opened her driver side door while she was looking for her debit card to go to the bank. Ms. Hudson stated at this time a bicyclist was traveling at a high rate of speed around the stopped traffic towards the intersection and crashed into her driver side door. Ms. Hudson stated the operator of the bicycle then traveled further up the roadway and crashed behind a vehicle stopped in traffic. Ms. Hudson stated she was unsure if the bicyclist crashed into the stopped vehicle or if it had landed on the roadway just before it. Ms. Hudson stated the bicyclist then got up from the roadway and began yelling at her that the crash was her fault. I observed a few small fresh scrapes on the outside of the driver side door area. When I initially arrived at the crash location, I observed Officer Lazarakis checking on his well-being of the injured bicyclist, Marc Lind. Lind was observed laying on the sidewalk in front of 780 Beacon Street. After being evaluated by Newton Medics, I spoke with Mr. Lind. Mr. Lind stated he was traveling on his Trek bicycle Eastbound on Beacon Street towards Langley Road. Mr. Lind stated while traveling through the area at this time, traffic in the Eastbound Lane was stopped and there was a red light ahead of him at the intersection. Mr. Lind estimated his speed at this time to be 10-12 miles per hour. Mr. Lind stated as he travelled past the Santander Bank at 780 Beacon Street, the operator of a parked white Jeep to his right abruptly opened their door into traffic. Mr. Lind stated he attempted to avoid the vehicles door and veered to the left. Mr. Lind stated the right end of his handlebar made contact with the door and as he traveled forward and applied his brakes his right side crashed into the rear of a vehicle stopped in traffic ahead of him. Mr. Lind stated he crashed to the roadway on his right side. Mr. Lind was able to move to the side of the roadway and wait for Newton PD, Fire, and Medics to respond. Mr. Lind reported injuries to his right arm, side, and leg area. Mr. Lind signed a patient refusal with Newton Medics and was transported away from the area by his wife with his bicycle. I observed no substantial damage to his Trek bicycle. At the time of the crash, Mr. Lind was wearing a white t-shirt, black shorts, black, shoes, and a gray helmet with sunglasses. I spoke with a witness to the crash, Steve Worthington. Mr. Worthington stated he was stopped in traffic on Beacon Street about 4 vehicles back from the red light. Mr. Worthington stated he looked out of his passenger door mirror and observed a bicyclist "whipping" down Beacon Street in between vehicles parked on the side of the road and vehicles stopped in traffic at the red light. Mr. Worthington estimated the speed of the bicycle to be approximately 20 miles per hour. Mr. Worthington stated the bicyclist had to "lean" by his vehicle to get by. Mr. Worthington stated a vehicle just ahead of him that was parked opened their door and the bicyclist made contact with the door. Mr. Worthington stated the bicyclist then went down in front of the car that was in front of him. Mr. Worthington stated the bicyclist was rolling around on the ground and screaming "It's your fault" at the woman that opened her door Photos were taken of the bicycle and the vehicle involved and submitted to the IT Bureau.

Narrative:
On 9/27/20 I was Working N497 when I responded to an MVA with rollover in the area of Chestnut and Beacon St. along with multiple other units. Upon arrival at 565 Chestnut St. (which is a publicway in the city of Newton) I spoke with the operator of Veh 1 Jenna Wolf. Wolf stated that she was traveling northbound on Chestnut St. when a Vehicle traveling southbound swerved at her causing her to swerve to the left causing her to jump the curb and collide with a parked car. Wolf stated the car then rolled over and she was able to climb out on her own. Wolf had a laceration to the head that was bleeding so Newton Medics transported her to NWH for treatment. Wolf had a moderate smell of alcoholic beverages emanating from her person and glassy eyes and was slurring her words. Wolf was not asked to do field sobriety due to her injuries. The first parked car (Veh 2) that was struck by Veh 1 slid across the driveway and struck Veh 3, also causing damages to the driveway and yard. The Vehicles owner Vladimir Berezovsky was notified and provided a report number. Veh 2, and Veh 3 were disabled and towed away by Todys at the owners request. A witness named Reza Dana spoke with Ofc. T Keefe and stated "We were traveling down Beacon St. and had a green light at the intersection of Chestnut St. when two cars came speeding northbound on Chestnut St. and ran the red light at Beacon St. almost killing him". Then one of the cars went off the road and struck a parked car causing it to rollover. Veh 1 came back through dispatch as unregistered. Due to the fact that it was a residental area, the vehicle almost struck a home and the witness statment, Wolf was issued a Ma Uniform Citation T2080019 for 90/24/j Oui, 90/24/E MV Negligent Operation, 90/9/b Unregistered, 90/17/A Speeding. Pictures were taken by Ofc Keefe and submitted to IT.
