On 2/25/2019 at approx 1130hrs while assigned to 497 I responded to the intersection of Commonwealth Ave and Chestnut St for a two car crash. Upon arrival I met with the operator of Ma reg RDTAIL ,Steve MCCULLOUGH who stated he was traveling NB on Chestnut St through the green light when he was suddenly struck by the operator of Ma Reg 298CBV George DIARBAKERLY who was travelling EB on Commonwealth Ave. I spoke with DIABAKERLY who initially stated he thought he had the green light but perhaps it changed, than stated maybe he was too far back when he saw the green light. MCCULLOUGH gave me the names of two people who had stopped , Matt DOLITKA 617-719-7621 and Dr J LAUFFLER 617-968-6343.

MV2 then sideswiped MV1, running MV1 off the road and into the curb. The operator of MV1, Drew Brookins, stated that the operator of MV2 pulled over at first, but when traffic cleared, immediately got back into the car and left at a high rate of speed heading northbound on Centre St. Mr. Brookins attempted to follow MV2, and observed MV2 take a right onto Paul Street (eastbound), but was unable to continue to follow MV2, as MV1's front drivers side wheel was blown out as a result of colliding with the curb. MV1 sustained drivers side damage, as well as a blown out right drivers side tire. MV2 likely sustained moderated drivers side damage, and possibly damage to the rear bumper. Mr. Brookins was able to get the license plate of MV2 (MA Reg. 9LE764), which comes back to a female (Desiree Allman) out of Braintree. Mr. Brookins described the operator of MV2 as a white male with a thin build, dirty blond hair and scruffy beard. Dispatch contacted Braintree PD who was able to provide a telephone number that is believed to be Ms. Allman's. I attempted to contact Ms. Allman, however, the number went directly to voicemail. I left a message asking Ms. Allman to call the NPD so that we could find out who was operating her vehicle at the time of the crash.

She then veered off to the right side of the road and struck Verizon utility pole number 85/155 with her front end head on at Grove and Pierrepont Rd. I observed heavy front end damage to the front end/passenger side front of the vehicle and it was towed by Tody's. There was no damage to the utility pole. There is a decline in elevation to the roadway in this area and the road conditions were slippery due to the current snowstorm that was producing snow and freezing rain at the time.

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.

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.

MV1 stated he was travelling straight ahead when MV2 "slammed into me at what felt like 80mph." MV1 sustained heavy damage to the driver's side rear, however did not require a tow.

Due to the icy conditions of the road, and speed too fast for conditions, M/V#1 only angled slightly to the left, and slid into a snowbank, and the curb on Commonwealth Ave. knocking down a city light pole. The vehicle was towed by Tody's.

Operator of MV1 states he was traveling northbound on Walnut Street at a speed of approximately 45mph when he struck the snowbank with the front right tire causing the vehicle to leave the roadway, hit the utility pole and come to rest on the hood of the vehicle in the front yard of 996 Walnut Street. Operator of MV1 stated he was coming from a friends house where he consumed two alcoholic beverages. Operator of MV1 sustained injuries to his hand and forehead and was evaluated by Fallon medics who recommended transport to the hospital due to the severity of the crash. Pictures were taken of the scene. Tody's towing responded and took possession of the vehicle. Towed motor vehicle inventory form completed. Verizon and Eversource were notified for the utility pole. I issued Massachusetts Uniform Citation #T2012865 for the following: MGL Ch. 90 Sec. 24 OUI Alcohol, MGL Ch. 90 Sec. 24 (2) Operating to Endanger, Negligent, MGL Ch. 89 Sec. 4A Marked Lanes Violation and MGL Ch. 90 Sec. 17 Speeding greater than reasonable

MV1 stated that she slowed down when she saw the car in front of her start to slow at the blinking yellow street lights. She stated that once she slowed down, she was hit by another vehicle behind her. MV2 stated that two vehicles in front of him he observed it slow down very abruptly and he didnt have time to stop and collided with MV1. A witness, Joseph Jovem, who was the vehicle that slowed down in front of MV1 stated that he began to slow his speed as he saw the blinking yellow lights. He observed MV1 slow down with him and saw MV2 collide with MV1. No injuries reported, MV1 was driveable and MV2 was towed by Tody's.

The Operator of MV1(MA reg 3CHE81) stated she was traveling WB on Newtonville Ave approaching the intersection of Lewis street/Lewis Terrace when her vehicle was struck on the front passenger side. Operator of MV1 stated she was approaching the intersection at a slow speed when operator of MV2 pulled onto Newtonville Ave from Lewis Terrace. Operator of MV2 (MA Con V57606) stated he was stopped at the intersection of Newtonville Ave and Lewis Terrace waiting to turn right onto Newtonville Ave. Operator of MV2 stated he attempted to pull onto Newtonville Ave when his vehicle struck MV1. The passenger side airbag of MV1 was deployed. Medics and Fire arrived on the scene to assist with injuries. The passenger in MV1 sustained minor injuries due to the airbag but signed a refusal. No one else involved claimed an injury. Both vehicles suffered significant damage and required tows. Tody towed both vehicles from the scene. The operator of MV2 was issued a citation (037739AB) and I mailed the citation.

On 06/14/21 at approximately 12:00 hours, Sgt. Wade received an email from Nina Wang (D.P.W. Transportation Traffic Superintendent) that a city utility trailer with a signboard attached to it was struck by another motor vehicle at 275 Brookline Street sometime over the weekend between 06/11/21 and 06/14/21. A photo was sent over in the email of the utility trailer and signboard knocked over on it's side over the sidewalk. The utility trailer is 2020 Wanco color orange bearing MA Official registration # M9994A. The trailer was parked in the bicycle lane of the northbound travel lane next to 275 Brookline Street. The signboard was there in an attempt to get motorists to drive the speed limit due to the Memorial Spalding School located at 250 Brookline Street. On 06/14/21 at approximately 12:00 hours, I responded to Brookline Street to photograph the trailer and possibly process the scene. The trailer could not be located. I learned later that the trailer had already been towed by Tody's towing and brought to the City D.P.W. yard located at 110 Crafts Street. On 06/15/21 at approximately 09:00 hours, I went over to 110 Crafts Street and was told that the trailer/signboard was in the garage. The trailer was already being repaired to be placed back in to service. It had sustained damage to the two rear brackets where the jacks are located and the license plate bracket and registration plate were bent. The signboard message frame board is no longer aligned properly as a result of the accident but reportedly still functions. After, I then responded back to 275 Brookline Street and took digital photos of the scene. I observed in the bike lane at the accident scene two small pieces of lens covers to a vehicle with no identifying marks. I also did a canvass for possible surveillance cameras in the area. There was no response at number 269 and 275 Brookline Street but I left a note for them to call me. 283 Brookline Street has no surveillance cameras. Memorial Spalding School is across the street from the accident and I observed a camera on the side of the building which faces the staff parking lot on to Brookline Street. I spoke to a staff member Jesse Brackett at the school. He called David Stickney (Superintendent of Schools) and notified him of the accident. Mr. Stickney was provided with my email and will send over any possible footage if he has it. At approximately 12:45 hours, I spoke to Mike Sylvester who resides at 275 Brookline Street. He stated that he had surveillance footage and emailed it over to me. I viewed the footage which is a camera that views his approx. 75 foot driveway leading out to Brookline Street. There is a fence and bushes behind where the signboard is located which limits it's view. The video shows the accident took place on 06/11/21 at 18:48 hours. At this time, you can see the trailer is struck and slowly falls over on it's side. Immediately after a white colored four door sedan continues to slowly drive past the scene northbound on Brookline Street in the bicycle lane without stopping. Two other vehicles behind the white sedan drive around to the left of the white vehicle at this point. In the footage, you can not view the registration number, operator details, or the type of sedan from the footage. On 06/16/21 at 09:40 hours, I spoke to David Stickney who called the Traffic Bureau. He stated that he had footage of the accident but it did not reveal any other details besides the same white sedan striking the trailer.

VEHICLE #1 WAS IN THE PROCESS OF PULLING OUT OF HIS DRIVEWAY, WHICH IS LOCATED AT 33 BROOKLINE ST. VEHICLE #2 WAS TRAVELING DOWN BROOKLINE ST, HEADING EASTBOUND. WHEN VEHICLE #2 PASSED BY VEHICLE #1 THE COLLISION OCCURRED. IT IS UNKNOWN AT THIS TIME WHETHER VEHICLE #1 STRUCK VEHICLE #2 OR VEHICLE #2 STRUCK VEHICLE #1. BOTH PARTIES DECLINED MEDICAL TREATMENT, VEHICLE #2 OPERATOR DID STATE THAT HE WAS A LITTLE SHAKEN UP, I ASKED IF HE WOULD LIKE TO BE SEEN BY AN AMBULANCE, HE DECLINED AND STATED THAT IF HE FELT THE NEED, HE WOULD DRIVE HIMSELF TO THE HOSPITAL AT A LATER TIME. VEHICLE OPERATOR #1 STATES THAT HE THOUGHT THE COAST WAS CLEAR AS HE WAS PULLING OUT, AND VEHICLE #2 WAS SPEEDING AS HE WAS HEADING DOWN BROOKLINE ST, VEHICLE OPERATOR #2 STATES THAT VEHICLE #1 CUT HIM OFF. I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE HOMEOWNER TODAY (JUNE 24, 2021) A MR GUY MORRIS. HE STATED THAT HIS SON TYLER WAS INVOLVED IN THE ACCIDENT YESTERDAY. HE STATED THAT HE HAS HOME VIDEO SURVEILLANCE, AND THAT THE SURVEILLANCE CLEARLY SHOWS VEHICLE OPERATOR #2 DRIVING DOWN BROOKLINE ST AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED AND NOT YIELDING TO VEHICLE #1 (HIS SON) WHO WAS PULLING OUT OF HIS DRIVEWAY. I ADVISED MR MORRIS TO FORWARD THIS VIDEO TO HIS INSURANCE COMPANY, ACCORDING TO MR MORRIS THIS VIDEO CLEARLY SHOWS VEHICLE #2 AT FAULT IN THIS ACCIDENT. HE HAS ALREADY TALKED TO HIS INSURANCE AGENT, AND IS IN THE PROCESS OF SENDING THEM THE COPY, WHICH SHOWS VEHICLE #2 FAILING TO YIELD.

On Tuesday 7/6/21 at approx 1254 hrs, while assigned to N494, I responded to the intersection of Hartman Rd and Brookline St for a 2 car MVA. Operator of MV1 states she was coming from Boston heading SB on Brookline St when MV1 abruptly pulled out in front of her from Hartman Rd. Operator of MV2 states he stopped at the STOP sign at the end of Hartman Rd (Note Brookline St has no STOP signs at this intersection). He said he saw traffic on the NB side of Brookline St stopped and then attempted to take a left. He states that MV1 was going at a high rate of speed and did not have time to avoid the accident.

On 08/09/2021 at 13:56 hours I responded to the intersection of California St at Adams St for a crash involving a motor vehicle and a bike. California St and Adams St are both public ways in the City of Newton. Upon my arrival I was informed the bicyclist , Joshua Cohen was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital for treatment . I spoke with Marco Diaz who stated that he was driving his 2004 Honda Pilot ( MA reg 1YEM63 ) east bound on California St near Adams St. Diaz stated that as his vehicle passed Adams St he heard a loud bump coming from the rear passenger side of his vehicle. Diaz stated that he looked into his rearview mirror and realized that something had crashed into his vehicle. Diaz stated that he stopped his vehicle had saw a male on a bike had crash into his vehicle. Diaz stated that he was not injured in the crash and his vehicle did not require a tow. I observed small scrape marks on the rear passenger side quarter panel of Diaz's vehicle. Cohen's bike was a Metakoo 26'' electric bike, that has a top speed of 20 MPH. Cohen's bike did not appear to have any damage on it and was secured at Cohen's residence. I spoke with Cohen at the ER at Newton Wellesley Hospital were he was waiting treatment for a laceration to his forehead and a possible concussion. Cohen stated that he "was going to fast and took a too wide of a turn" from the north bound lane of Adams St onto the east bound lane of California St. Cohen stated "I hit into him " ( Diaz ) . Based upon statements made to me by Diaz and Cohen and my observations of the crash area I belive that Cohen is at fault for this crash. I took photos of Diaz's vehicle and Cohen's bike, the disk was downloaded by the NPD IT Bureau.

The operator of MV1 (MA REG 1GGH16) stated she was traveling NB on Hammond Street when she approached the intersection of Hammondswood Rd.

On 10/06/2021 while assigned to marked cruiser N491 at approximately 15:26 hours I responded to 527 Washington Street for a report of 2 car MVA. Newton FD requested EMS for evaluation of Driver 1 because she was "feeling dizzy and shaky" after the accident. Medic 1 cleared with a patient refusal. Upon arrival on scene, I spoke to Ms. Marcia Ruth Drector (Driver 1 of MV1), who stated that she was at intersection of Washington Street and Adams St waiting for green traffic light to continue driving straight forward / eastbound on Washington Street. She said that when the traffic light turned green she started going forward, when all of a sudden a light blue sedan (MV3) cut her way driving southbound from Adams St to Lewis Ter. Ms. Drector stated that she had to slam on the brakes to avoid collision with MV3, which was traveling at high rate of speed and drove just a few inches away from the front of her car after she stopped. At the same moment, another car (MV2), which was behind her car (MV1), crashed into the rear end of her car (MV1). Ms. Drector could not recall any specific details about MV3 or its driver/occupants, other than it was a light blue sedan. I then spoke to Mr. Stephen Achille (Driver 2 of MV2), who stated that he was facing eastbound in the left lane on Washington Street. Mr. Achille said that he started changing lanes because a car (MV4) in front of him was waiting for a left turn to Adams St. He stated that when he was getting into the right lane, MV1 suddenly stopped in front of him and he crashed into it. I advised all parties that there will be an accident report on file for insurance purposes.

On November 21st, 2021 at approximately 07:56 hours while working N491 I along with Officer Mike Boudreau responded with NFD and Medic One to a report of a MV crash with injuries in the area of Centre St @ Franklin St. On my arrival the Medics were evaluating two adult males who standing outside one of the involved vehicle from this crash. There appeared to be several involved vehicles to this crash however two of them had been parked prior to the crash. The vehicle which the two unidentified males were standing by was MA reg. 9HY939, a 1988 Black Ford F150 PU, listed registered owner was a Peter J. Jara-Castro, #28 Ridge Ave, Lynn Ma. Mr Castro was one of the two males standing by that truck. The above vehicle appeared to have been travelling N/B on Centre St when it skidded off the road, jumping the curb striking a 1 foot slate retaining wall to the property to #573 Centre St. It continued onto that property driving over shrubs, small trees, then onto the driveway(same address) which is actually on Newtonville Ave, hitting the homeowners 2007 Nissan Versa, Ma reg. 6BH269, forcing it into more shrubbery. The Truck continued across Newtonville Ave where it struck another parked vehicle, a Grey 2019 Volkswagon, Ma reg. 1NFC27 on the rear passenger side pushing it forward. The truck finally came to a stop after driving into a wooden fence to the property of #559 Centre St.(Fence is on Newtonville Ave.) I spoke with the owner of the truck after he was evaluated by the Medics, who spoke limited English. The owner of the truck Peter Jara-Castro finally said he was driving the truck prior to the crash. His statement was he was travelling N/B down Centre St when another vehicle came out from Newtonville Ave causing him to slam on his brakes. Mr Castro doesn't remember much after that, possibly from hitting his head. At this time I couldn't determine who the actual driver was. Both Mr Castro and the passenger, sustained injuries but both declined to go to the hospital. Both were later picked up by an UBER driver. A Firefighter heading to work reported seeing the truck pass him on Centre St N/B at high rate of speed but never saw the driver or the actual crash. Both property owners that sustained damage were given Trucks insurance info. Pictures were taken by both property owners. Vehicle #1 and vehicle #2 were towed from scene. Both sustained heavy damage. Vehicle #3 sustained minor damage I was unable to make contact with that owner at this time. However later in the day I was able to make contact with owner of vehicle #3. She was given all vehicle #1 information along with his insurance. A citation for speeding was later issued after investigation was completed and witness statement. Citation#t1444076 was later sent VIA mail.

Operator #1 stated he was travelling northbound on Centre St crossing Sargent St when MV#2 ran the red light and they collided. His passengers stated their light was green. MV#1 suffered moderate damage to the front left side of the vehicle. Operator #2 stated he was travelling eastbound on Sargent St across Centre St where he had a green light when MV#1 ran through a red light at a high rate of speed.

On Wednesday 12/1/21 at approximately 0800 hours while assigned to marked unit n498 I was dispatched to 336 Winchester Street for a report of a single vehicle crash with no injuries. Upon arrival I observed a white BMW X3 partially off the road with heavy front end damage on the Northbound side of Winchester Street in front of 336. I spoke with the operator, PHILLIPS Illana, who states she was travelling Northbound on Winchester Street at approximately 30 MPH when she heard a pop and the car pulled immediately to the right and she felt an impact and the air bags deployed. It appears as though the impact she felt was the Utility Pole in front of 336 Winchester Street. Pole sustained significant damage, but still appeared to be safe. Verizon was notified to respond as soon as possible. Also on scene was STOLYAR Polina, who states that she was walking on the sidewalk toward her house at 345 Winchester Street. Polina states she observed the white BMW travelling at a normal speed Northbound and she also heard a pop and saw a quick flash that she described as a flame come from the passenger side tire of the vehicle causing it to swerve off the road and strike the Utility Pole. Polina stayed on scene to make sure PHILLIPS was ok and to speak with me. After speaking with the operator, PHILLIPS, and the witness, STOLYAR, it appears to me that the passenger side tire of the BMW blew causing the vehicle to veer off the road striking the Utility Pole. I walked Southbound down the Northbound side of Winchester Street to see if I could locate any sort of road defect that could have caused the tire to suffer a catastrophic malfunction. I was unable to locate any such defect. PHILLIPS mentioned to me that recently the light on her dashboard illuminated indicating low tire pressure and she brought the vehicle to have the air pressure refilled. She expressed a concern in hindsight that whomever added air may have over inflated the tire. Exact cause of tire malfunction is unknown at this time.

MV1 was traveling WESTBOUND on Washington St when MV2 collided with her. MV1 operator stated that she was driving straight through the four-way intersection at Lowell Ave with a green light when MV2 collided with her while they were taking a left turn onto Lowell Ave from Washington St. MV2 operator stated that she was traveling EASTBOUND on Washington St, signaled to turn left onto Lowell Ave and proceeded through the intersection when she felt it was safe. MV2 operator believed that MV1 swerved around the vehicle in front of her signaling to turn left and sped through the intersection at a high rate of speed. MV2 stated that she did not see MV1 coming. MV1 damage was to the driver's side fender and MV2 had minimal damage to its driver side fender as well. No injuries reported and both vehicles were safely operable from the scene.

On 03/20/222, I responded to Washington Street @ Hovey St for a 2 car MV accident. Upon arrival I spoke with the operator of MV 1, who stated that she was on the left lane on Washington St waiting to turn left onto Hovey street. She stated that the oncoming vehicles stopped for her to turn left on Hovey St when MV2 swerved around the vehicles and crashed into her causing major damage to the center front and right side of the MV. The operator of MV1 stated that she had a dash cam that caught the whole accident on video and they she would provide the video so I can view it. I then spoke to the operator of MV2, who stated that he was driving in far right lane Westbound on Washington St when the operator of MV1 turned left and hit him causing major damage to the center front and left side of the vehicle. He stated that he had the right of way and that there were no cars in front him which is why he continued driving straight. He also stated that he did nothing wrong and that he was following the speed limit. The operator of MV1 was able to send the dash cam footage from the accident. Based on my observations the video was consistent with the statement that operator of MV1 gave. In the video it is clear that MV1 had the right of way to make the left turn onto Hovey St. The operator of MV2 was mailed Mass Uniform Citation T1445888 fir M.G.L 89 4A Marked Lanes violation. I am mailing the citation due to the fact the that operator of MV2 had left the scene already. Medics arrived on scene and a patient refusal was signed. Todys arrived on scene and took possession of both motor vehicles.

At approximately 1840HRs on Wednesday, June 08, 2022, I was dispatched to 125 Parker St. for a road rage incident. Upon arrival, I spoke with Derek Eggleton, who stated that he was walking from his truck on Glenwood Ave. to 125 Parker St. with building supplies in hand. As he crossed Parker St., he noticed a Maserati bearing MA Plate: SUGAR approaching him, southbound, at a high rate of speed. Derek then threw said building supplies and moved out of the way of the vehicle because he believed it was not going to stop. He then approached the vehicle which had slowed down and Derek states it "tapped" him in the leg. Heated words were exchanged between Derek and the operator of the vehicle, identified as Sidney Gersh, who ultimately drove off. While I was on scene, Officer Hatfield spoke with Sidney, who stated we was indeed involved in the incident, but states he did not hit Derek. Officer Hatfield observed no damage to the vehicle and I observed no marks on Derek, who signed a patient refusal. I advised Derek that I would be documenting this incident and explained to him that if he so chooses, he may seek charges through Newton District Court. He stated that he understood and would take that into consideration.
