MV1 (MA Reg: 51JD62, 2007 green Toyota Pruis) operated by Marcia Gittes (DOB 11/29/1948) was traveling Southbound on Walnut St when it collided with a pedestrian in the crosswalk at Walnut St/Foster St. MV1 collided with a man, later identified as Jerome Shectman (DOB 10/7/1964). He had an injury to the back of his head, right hand, left shoulder and lower spine and was transported to Beth Israel Hospital. Witness, Patrick Clare-O'Brien saw the crash take place. He stated that the pedestrian, Jerome was crossing in the crosswalk traveling Westbound towards Foster St, successfully passed through the lane where vehicles were traveling Northbound on Walnut St and was then hit by the Toyota Prudish in the lane going Southbound. Jerome was already halfway through the crosswalk at this point. It was dark, but there was a streetlight directly over this crosswalk on Walnut St creating a semi-lit area for visibility. Mrs. Gittes stated that she didn't see him because he was wearing dark clothing and it was dark outside. She saw him when it was too late. There was no damage to her vehicle. Mrs. Gittes was given a monetary citation (T0646789) for 89/11 Crosswalk Violation. pictures were taken at the scene and the photo SD card was sent to IT. Traffic Bureau update (Officer Gaudet): I was asked to follow up with the injured pedestrian involved in this accident, Jerome Schectman (S77606276). Schectman stated he was attempting to cross Walnut Street east to west towards Foster Street. Schectman stated he entered the crosswalk after observing no cars traveling towards him in the Northbound lane of Walnut Street. Schectman stated he began walking across the street and stopped in the middle of Walnut Street after observing 2 vehicles traveling towards him in the Southbound lane. Schectman stated as the first vehicle went by, he stared at it as it traveled past him and down the street. Schectman stated as he looked back at the second car it was traveling right at him and he was unable to get out of the way. Schectman stated the vehicle hit him on his right side. Schectman listed his injuries as follows: fractured vertebrae, laceration to the back of his head, neck pain, and left shoulder/arm pain.

On 01/04/19 I responded outside of #54 Needham St for a two vehicle crash. Veh #1 was a delivery box van who was driving due North on Needham St. The operator of veh #1 stated he was attempting to take a left into #55 Needham St. when veh #2 came from behind him on his left and he struck veh #2 as he turned. The operator of veh # 1 was taken by Ambulance #1 to Newton-Wellesley Hospital for an evaluation after complaining of pain in his chest area. The passenger of veh #1 stated everything happened "so fast" he didn't see what transpired. Moderate damage to veh #1. The operator of veh #2 stated he was traveling due North on Needham St. and was behind veh #1 for a long stretch of the road. The operator of veh # 2 stated veh #1 put his right directional on three different times but didn't turn. He stated veh #1 had his right directional on and was in the right lane when he went to pass him. Veh #1 then turned into his rear passenger side as he passed. Moderate damage to veh # 2. The operator of veh #2 stated the operator of veh #1 was walking around and yelling about the accident for a period of time and then eventually grabbed his chest and fell to the ground complaining of pain. From the result of my investigation it appears as if veh # 1 attempted to turn from the wrong lane and veh # 2 was passing in the "suicide lane", also wrong lane. There will be no citations issued at this time as both operators were given verbal warnings.

On Wednesday, January 9, 2019, while assigned to Traffic unit N525, I responded to 457 Walnut Street, Newton for a report of a past motor vehicle/pedestrian accident involving a student at Newton North High School. I met with the pedestrian involved in the accident, Ellie McBride, in the Riley House admin office. McBride is a Freshman at Newton North High School. McBride's mother, Linda Hanusaik, was also present while I spoke with her. McBride stated at approximately 0740 hours, she was attempting to cross Lowell Avenue in a marked crosswalk at Highland Street (E). McBride stated she observed a newer model gray Acura SUV traveling towards her Southbound on Lowell Avenue while she was standing in the crosswalk. McBride stated she thought the vehicle was going to slow down for her. McBride stated as the vehicle got closer it appeared to be slowing down but was unable to avoid making contact with her. The front end of MV1 made contact with McBride's left side. The impact caused McBride to fall down onto the roadway. McBride stated the vehicle pulled over and the operator exited the vehicle to check on her. McBride stated the operator was a white female with long brown hair, possibly high school aged. McBride stated after she told the operator that she wasn't hurt, the operator returned to her vehicle and left the area, possibly towards Commonwealth Avenue. McBride could not provide any additional information about the operator of the vehicle involved. McBride stated she then walked to Newton North High School. McBride stated she went to her morning class but left and texted her mother to tell her she was involved in an accident. McBride stated she was shaken up by the accident, but reported no injuries. Newton Medics evaluated McBride and obtained a patient refusal. McBride was advised that due to the reported age of operator, they may be a student at the high school. McBride was advised that if she sees the operator to obtain her information/contact NPD. I checked the area of Lowell Avenue and Highland Street for the vehicle involved/witnesses with a negative result. A portion of Newton North's athletic fields are next to this intersection. Newton North stated there are no surveillance cameras in this area. Lowell Avenue and Highland Street are both public ways maintained by the City of Newton.

On Wednesday, January 16th 2019, at approximately 3:30pm, I, Officer Brooks, responded to a single car MVA in the area of 611 Watertown street. Upon my arrival Cataldo medics were treating the operator of MV1(MA REG 159EF6) for a diabetic issue. I spoke with a witness to the accident who did not wish to leave their information. The witness stated they were traveling westbound on Watertown street behind MV1, when it suddenly left the roadway to the right, striking the curb, before returning to the roadway and stopping. The witness stated that MV1 nearly missed a fire hydrant and a utility pole on the sidewalk. MV1 had a flat front passenger side tire, and minor scrapes on the body. I spoke with the medics who were still treating the operator for her diabetic issue. I observed the operator was in and out of consciousness, and unable to speak about the accident. It took several minutes for the operator to regain her consciousness, however she was still not able to answer simple questions coherently and was transported to Newton Wellesley hospital for further evaluation. MV1 was towed from the scene by Tody's, and an inventory form was filed and submitted. The area the crash occured was a high pedestrian traffic area, and both an elementary and middle school are within walking distance of the accident. An immediate threat form was filled out and filed for the operator of MV1.

On the above date and time I responded to the area of St.James St at Washington Street for a report of a past hit/run with City traffic signal knocked over. Upon arrival I observed the the traffic signal on St. James Street westbound just before the Washington Street bridge on the roadway. I did observe what appeared to be a sidewalk plow tire impressions on the sidewalk to the traffic signal. I cnanvassed the area with negative results and I am waiting to hear back from Public works who may have been assigned the area to plow the side walks. I also checked for any cameras in the area with negative results. I took pictures of the crash site area and I will have them downloaded at th I.T. Bureau.

On 1/14/2019 at approx 1406Hrs while assigned to 497 I responded to the area of 2150 Washington St for a report of a 2 car collision. Upon arrival I met with the operators of Ma Reg 5NG581 Jeff LONDON and Ma Reg RT35K2 Lori GANS. LONDON was signing a refusal with Cataldo Ambulance and stated he had already exchanged all his information with the other operator. I spoke with GANS who stated LONDON stopped suddenly for a turkey that walked into the roadway, GANS was able to brake but lightly tapped LONDON.

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

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

On 02/08/2019, I, Officer Conary, responded to 309 Tremont Street for a past hit and run involving a pedestrian. Upon arrival, I was met by FEBLOWITZ, Colleen, who stated at approximately 1745 hours, she was crossing in the crosswalk at Tremont at Hibbard when her foot was hit by a car. FEBLOWITZ explained to me that she was in the crosswalk and she saw a silver sedan, MV1, traveling Eastbound on Tremont Street approaching her but it was far away where she felt safe to walk across the street. She said she also raised her hand to draw attention to herself. FEBLOWITZ was halfway in the crosswalk when she felt severe pain in her right foot. She looked behind her and saw MV1 was very close to her. MV1 continued to drive down Tremont Street and not stop. There were no witnesses. FEBLOWITZ went to Partner's Urgent Care to be treated for minor injuries. The crosswalk is in a lighted roadway. FEBLOWITZ was unable to gain any other information on MV1.

ONCE MV 1 CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP THEY WERE STRUCK IN THE REAR BY MV 2. MV 1 WAS UNABLE TO GET A LICENSE PLATE OR A DESCRIPTION DUE TO THE WEATHER (HEAVY SNOW) AND THE FACT THAT THEY JUST PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE AND ASSUMED MV 2 WOULD DO THE SAME. MV 2 NEVER PULLED OVER TO EXCHANGE INFORMATION AND CONTINUED GOING SOUTH ON CENTRE STREET. MV 1 SUSTAINED MODERATE REAR END DAMAGE AND NO INJURIES REPORTED.

Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus - Pass One Leg Stand - Pass Walk And Turn - Pass Operator of MV#1 showed no signs of impairment. Through my training and experience I calculated MV#1 had speeds of approximately +50MPH. Tody's towed the MV, a towed MV inventory form was completed. Pictures taken on scene submitted to IT.

On Tuesday, March 5th 2019, at 7pm, I, Officer Brooks, responded to 33 Walker street for a past hit and run. On my arrival I spoke with the operator of MV1(MA REG 28DG82), who stated his vehicle was struck at 3pm this afternoon in front of 1296 Washington street. His vehicle was alledgedly struck by a bus, unknown plate or company, that was traveling eastbound on Washington street. The bus casued the front drivers side quarter panel to be ripped from the vehicle. MV1 was towed by AAA.

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

Operator of MV1 states she parked MV1 on Walker Street, while she was visiting a friend and when she came out to her vehicle she found damage to the drivers side door,left front corner panel and left front tire rim. Operator of MV1 states two people witnessed the hit and run who were both on scene. The first witness, Aaron Creecit, was making deliveries for UPS when he saw MV2, which was a motor cycle with a side car attached to it, take a left from Proctor Street onto Walker Street and struck MV1 with the side car portion of the motor cycle and left the scene. The second witness, Jeanette Even, who lives at 30 Walker Street witnessed the hit and run and stated she saw MV2 take a left from Proctor Street onto Walker Street and struck MV1 and left the scene. The first and second witness took down the registration plate (MA Reg: 2H7713) which came back to 27 Brooks Ave. I responded and found the motor cycle in the driveway covered by a blue tarp. I lifted the tarp and found damage on the right side portion of the side car, which would be consistent with the hit and run. I spoke with the operator of MV2, who states the motorcycle is new and she didn't realize she hit MV1. I issued the operator of MV2 in hand Massachusetts Uniform Citation #T1441458 for MGL Ch. 90 Sec. 24 (2) Leaving the scene of property damage (crash)

The operator of Vehicle #1 returned to her vehicle to a note from a witness that stated that she witnessed a vehicle strike her front bumper, as it was reversing to park. I also observed a small dent and a scratch consistent with a collision of this type on Vehicle #1's bumper. All attempts to contact Vehicle #2 have been negative, of yet. I will follow up on my next tour. The witness, identified as Ms. Michelle Temple, stated that she observed the collision, and added that it was with enough force to cause damage to the bumper. She then stated to the operator, "you just hit that car", to which the operator replied, "I know", and then walked away towards Newtonville Square. I was later able to speak with Ms. Rogovin. She stated that she didn't believe any damage was caused, thus she didn't notify anyone.

On April 19, 2019 at approximately 15:45 Operator of MV1 walked into the Newton Police Station to file a motor vehicle crash report. Operator of MV1 said that the operator of MV2 had left the scene after the crash. Operator of MV1 said that she was on Cabot St driving westbound, turning right onto Harvard St northbound at the stop sign. She said that the operator of MV2 was turning left onto Cabot St from Harvard St and the vehicle's trailer struck front driver's side of her vehicle. Witness, Mike Horner (508)930-7375 followed MV2 and got the license plate information. I contacted the operator of MV2, who said that he was turning left on Cabot St and the operator of MV2 started to turn before he was done. He saw the operator of MV1 hit a wire of the vehicle's trailer, but did not believe that there was any damage done and thought that MV1 drove away.The operator of MV2 was compliant in the investigation and did not believe he left the scene of an accident.

On April 24, 2019, while assigned to N496, I was called by Dispatch to respond to the area Beacon Street and Hammond Street for a motor vehicle crash. This was called in by Boston College Police Department. Upon arrival MV #1 was on Beacon Street just past Hammond Street at the Island with considerable vehicle damage. MV#1 stated while traveling westbound on Beacon St, while approaching the intersection of Hammond he stated he started to feel strange and not like himself. MV#1 stated he then struck the curb with his front right tire, not believing his accident was very serious at this time. He reversed his vehicle off the sidewalk and proceeded to travel westbound on Beacon St. After passing through the intersection he stated his car felt very off at which point he initiated his hazards and pulled over to the right. MV#1 stated he has a history of epilepsy and currently takes Oxcarbazepine twice a day for his condition. He stated he did not believe he had a seizure or lost consciousness but did not recall the incident very well. Boston College Ofc. Cadogan witnessed the incident, and stated the following, while conducting a directed patrol at the intersection of Beacon and Hammond St he saw MV#1 traveling westbound on Beacon St. Ofc. Cadogan stated MV#1 then took a sudden tight turn on to the curb striking the metal fence surrounding the BC facility. MV#1 was then seen / heard revving his engine while still in drive before reversing his vehicle off the curb and attempting to continue on Beacon St westbound. The fence surrounding the BC Facility sustained moderate damage. Tire marks in the grass show the path of MV#1 in direct line to the damaged property. While on scene, I spoke at length with Vanhorne. I did not detect or any alcohol from his breath as he spoke. Vanhorne reported he only consumed one beer tonight at roughly 2030hrs and smoked a little marijuana at 2200hrs. Vanhorne's eyes did not detect any signs of alcohol and he walked with no signs of any impairment. Sgt. Devine administered a horizontal nystagmus test which revealed no signs of impairment. Vanhorne reported he was at a work event and then visited a friend in Brookline. Vanhorne reported his last seizure from epilepsy occurred a little over two years ago. Pictures of the scene were taken and submitted to IT to be attached to this report. MV#1 operator stated he was not injured at this time. MV#1 was towed from the scene by Todys's due to heavy front end damage. Vanhorne was picked up from the scene by Paul Miller his step father. A towed MV form was filled out and placed in the traffic box. Witnesses Cassandra Williams and Bill Peirce observed the crash and stated identical narratives to Ofc. Cadogan's. An Immediate Threat form was filed with the RMV (via Fax and E-mail at approximately 0650hrs 4/24/19)due to his medical history and his explanation with this crash. All streets mentioned are public ways in the City of Newton. It should be noted that the road was wet from rain on this night. Update: on 4/27/19 Sgt.Devine was able to watch the video of the incident from Boston College Police. The video confirmed the statements given by BCPD and witnesses's. Due to the aforementioned statements and the video surveillance of the incident, MV#1 Operator will be cited with Marked Lanes Ch89/4a (MA Uniform Citation #T1441792. Vanhorne will be notified via phone he will be receiving the ticket in the mail.

Vehicle 1 was parked unoccupied in the employee parking lot of Newton Wellesley Hospital when it was hit by Vehicle 2. The operator of vehicle 2 stated she was correcting her parking job and tried to back up, but the car was actually in drive and not reverse. the car drove forward hitting vehicle 1 going over a curb and hit a tree a few feet past the curb. This caused minor damage to Vehicle 1 and major front end damage to Vehicle 2 as well as front air bag deployment.

I responded to the area 107 Dartmouth St. at approx. 0345 on 04/28/9019 along with N493 Officer Kelly Donahue and N508 Sgt. Devine for a report of an MVA. The MVA was reported to be single vehicle crash. The vehicle left the roadway and was on the front lawn of 107 Dartmouth St. I arrived on location (first on scene ). I observed tire tread marks across the front lawn of 107 Dartmouth St. I then observed a vehicle in the bushes toward the left front side of the house. The vehicle; NY Reg. JHE8252, Porsche color blue. The RMV info on the plate came back registered to Porsche;of ;South. Registration plate type: Dealer Assignment. 185 W Sunrise HWY; Freeport,NY (no further info). The vehicle was unoccupied and secured. I felt the hood of the car which was still warm from the engine. I checked the immediate area surrounding the crash scene for an operator but found no one. I radioed to other responding units to canvas the neighborhood and surrounding area for the operator on foot. I spoke to the homeowners at 107 Dartmouth St., identified as Anthony and June Limberis. Mrs. Limberis stated she heard a load noise and a car engine revving. She stated when she looked out the window she observed a W/M tall, thin, wearing tan khakis and a light colored plaid shirt walking across the front lawn. He proceeded up Dartmouth St. (northbound) toward Commonwealth Ave. Newton Fire Dept arrived on location to check the crash scene and vehicle for possible leaking fluids and any other hazards. As I was talking with the firefighters we were approached by two men. One of the men was intoxicated. He was unsteady on his feet, had glassy bloodshot eyes, and was slurring his speech. The man was a W/M tall/thin approx. 6'2" and was wearing tan khakis and a light colored plaid shirt. He was identified as Eric Adams DOB 09/18/1969. The second man with him was identified as John Adams DOB 02/07/1936; An elderly W/M approx. 5'6" also wearing tan khakis and a light colored plaid shirt. Eric Adams stated his father John was the operator of the vehicle. Eric Adams had a strong odor of Alcoholic beverage emanating from his person and breath. He continued to slur his speech and was unsteady on his feet as he spoke. He was swaying back and forth and side to side as he spoke to me. Officer K. Donahue and Sgt. Devine were on scene at this time and also made the same observations. Multiple times we had to grab hold of Eric Adams to keep him from losing balance and falling. We spoke with Eric and John Adams for several minutes as their accounts of what took place were not consistent. I asked Eric Adams where the keys to the vehicle were. Eric Adams immediately pulled the starter key to the vehicle from his front right pocket. Eric Adams became defensive and belligerent when questioned about who was operating the vehicle. John Adams appeared tired (as if he just woke up) and confused as to the situation. Sgt Devine and I both spoke with Eric Adams and John Adams. Although both men claim John Adams was the operator of the vehicle, a clear determination was uncertain. A query of both mens driver's license status on NY Licenses came back active. Eric Adams has two prior DUI's on his RMV record. Officer Donahue and Sgt. Devine escorted the two men to 93 Dartmouth St. Eric Adams stated they were staying at that residence which is his sister's house. I stayed at the crash scene to document information and assist with clearing the MV from the property with Tody's Towing Service. As they were walking away I observed Officer Donahue and Sgt. Devine continue to have to assist Eric Adams with staying on his feet. Approximately ten minutes later as I was speaking with the aforementioned homeowners Mr.&Mrs. Limberis. Officer Donahue and Sgt. Devine returned to the crash scene. As they were updating me we observed Eric Adams returning to the crash scene. He was stumbling and swaying as he walked and repeatedly almost fell. Officer Donahue and Sgt. Devine immediately intercepted and assisted him before he fell. As they were assisting him again I continued speaking with the homeowners. Suddenly I heard Officer Donahue and Sgt. Devine struggling with Eric Adams who was now on the ground and resisting being handcuffed. I ran to assist them. Eric Adams continued to resist and be uncooperative until he was appropriately restrained in handcuffs. Eric Adams was placed under arrest by officer Donahue for Disorderly Conduct and Resisting Arrest. Reference Officer Donahues Newton Police Incident Report #19016484. The vehicle NY Reg. JHE8252 was removed from the property of 107 Dartmouth St. and towed from the crash scene by Tody's Towing Service.

MV1 was traveling east on Madison Ave from Walnut St approaching #80. There were 2 landscape vehicles parked on left side of the street. The operator, Sarah Ruth Loper-Sengupta, stated that she never saw the pedestrian that was in the roadway (N) due to solar glare. Loper-Sengupta stated she heard a thump coming from the passenger side of her vehicle. Loper-Sengupta stated she looked over to her right and saw a trash barrel in the air. Loper-Sengupta stated she then saw a male party lying on the roadway on her passenger side. Immediately after striking the pedestrian, Loper-Sengupta, stopped to check on him. There was a golden doodle dog in the back seat of the MV at the time of the accident, unrestrained. There were no obstructions hanging from the mirror or windshield area. The front drivers visor was down. There was no airbag deployment. I observed significat damage to the front passenger side windshield area. There was also damage to the front passenger side hood area. See Sgt. Lee update for victim statement Numerous pictures were taken by Ofc. Gaudet of the MV and scene. They were TOT IT. The MV was towed by Tody's due to its shattered windshield. No citation will be issued to Loper-Sengupta. The solar glare caused her to not able to see the pedestrian. The Sgt. and I dont believe the pedestrian looked before crossing with the barell on his left shoulder because he would have been able to see the MV coming as this is straight away section of Madison Ave. It should be noted, that when I arrived on scene I immediately noticed the seolar glare as I walked east on Madison Ave.

On Sunday, May 5th, 2019 at approximately 1315 hours while working the City of Newton detail for the Walk for Hunger I was standing at my assigned post at the intersection of Centre Street and Willow Street. At the time, the road surface was dry and the weather was cloudy. Traffic was particulary heavy as there were several streets in the area still blocked off for the Walk for Hunger and there were participants still walking the route in the area. My attention was drawn to the intersection of Centre Street and Bowen Street as there was a motor vehicle travelling southbound on Centre Street with their left turn signal on attempting to take a left turn on to Gibbs Street. Gibbs Street was temporarily blocked to non-residential motorists as there were several pedestrians in the road crossing over Gibbs Street. As the motor vehicle attempted to turn, there were several pedestrians in the crosswalk crossing over Gibbs Street. The vehicle had stopped halfway into the northbound lane on Centre Street blocking on coming traffic. The operator appeared to realize Gibbs Street was blocked and attemped to turn the vehicle back into the southbound lane to continue southbound on Centre Street. As the vehicle turned back into the southbound traffic lane, the vehicles rear end collided with Officer Richard Clements, who was operating NPD motorcycle unit 533. Officer Clements was traveling southbound on Centre Street and was passing the vehicles in the southbound traffic lane which were currently all at a standstill. Officer Clements had his emergency lights activated as he was on his way to remove traffic cones from the street to open up all the traffic lanes along the event route. Officer Clements was working the City of Newton detail for the Walk for Hunger assigned to the motorcycle to assist with traffic. Officer Clements front wheel, left side of the motorcycle and left leg collided with the rear end of the motor vehicle. The impact of the crash caused him to fall off the left side of the motorcycle and land on the street face first. At this time I immediately ran from my post to Officer Clements location and radioed dispatch that a motorcycle officer was down and that I needed assistance. As I approached Officer Clements he was face down, unconcious and breathing. I was able to roll Officer Clements into the recovery position and at this time Officer Clements regained conciousness and was able to speak and stated " What happened? What was that lady doing she turned right into me". I advised Officer Clements that he had just been involved in an accident and to stay still and that help was on the way. The operator of the motor vehicle identified as Helen Leibner (S52717988) stopped her vehicle immediatley after the crash and got out of her vehicle to offer her assistance. I advised Helen and several other witnesses and bystanders who were now crowding around Officer Clements and I to back away from the scene and to not move any of the vehicles involved. Officer Selig arrived on scene and was able to help crowd control until further help arrived. Helen and all witnesses were advised to stand by for police to take their statements. While tending to Officer Clements he was disoriented and made several attempts to move his body to which I had to physically hold him still to prevent possible further injuries. While speaking with Officer Clements I noticed blood coming from the inside of his mouth. Officer Clements was in a noticeable amount of pain. He complained of head, back and left leg pain. Officer Clements was wearing a yellow ANSI certified Newton Police reflective jacket and a Newton Police issued motorcycle helmet. Once the paramedics and fire personnel arrived I was able to speak to the operator of the motor vehicle and several other witnesses. Helen stated she was traveling southbound on Centre Street operating her blue 2014 Audi A4 (MA REG 213BC9). Helen states she was attempting to take a left turn onto Gibbs Street and activated her left turn signal. Helen states she had stopped halfway into the northbound lane as several pedestrians were crossing Gibbs Street in the crosswalk at the time. Helen states after the pedestrians cleared she saw the traffic cones blocking the street and realized the street was closed. Helen states she turned her vehicle back into the southbound traffic lane and did not see Officer Clements or the motorcycle until impact. Helen was not injured and her motor vehicle sustained moderate rear end damage. Her motor vehicle was able to drive away from the scene. Witness Adron Gordon (S90357161) stated he was participating in the Walk for Hunger and had just crossed over Gibbs Street when the crash occured. He stated he witnessed the Officer on the motorcycle with the emergency lights on traveling southbound on Centre Street behind the motor vehicle. The motor vehicle stopped in traffic attempting to turn left onto Gibbs Street. He states then the vehicle made a slight turn back into the southbound traffic lane and the motorcycle collided with the rear end of the motor vehicle. He states the Officer then fell off the motorcycle landing in the middle of Centre Street. Witness Elizabeth McCarthy (S00242346) and Katherine Regan (S43486601) stated they both were in the same vehicle together stopped in traffic in the northbound lane of Centre Street just before the set of lights at Centre Street and Bowen Street. Both witnesses stated they do not remember if the driver of the motor vehicle had the turn signal on but they did see her attempt to turn onto Gibbs Street. They stated they also saw the motorcycle with emergency lights activated travel southbound on Centre Street approaching behind the vehicle. Witnesses state the motor vehicle then suddenly turned back into the southbound lane and the motorcycle collided with the passenger side tailight of the motor vehicle. Both witnesses state the motorcycle attemped to turn away from the vehicle to avoid the crash but was unable to do so. Witness Nina Wang (S39460985) stated she was parked on the southbound lane of Centre Street just prior to the crash scene. Nina states she was in her City of Newton DPW marked vehicle with the hazards on as she was working to assist with traffic safety for the Walk for Hunger. Nina states she witnessed the motorcycle travel southbound on Centre Street and pass the vehicles stopped in the traffic lane. Nina states the motorcycle passed the traffic using the left side and had the emergency lights activated. Nina states the motorcycle was just passing through the green light at Centre Street and Bowen Street when the motor vehicle that was stopped at the lights attempting to take a left turn onto Gibbs Street. Nina states the vehicle then abruptly jerked her car to the right and collided with the motorcycles left side. Nina states she heard a loud crash and witnessed the Officer fall off the motorcycle and land face first onto the street. The motorcycle's final resting place was on its left side approximately two feet away from where Officer Clements was located. The motorcycle sustained moderate damage to its left side, including the front wheel well and undercarriage. The motorcycle left scuff marks on the street which were measured and photographed. Several photographs of the scene and damage to both vehicles were taken and submitted to the IT Bureau. The motorcycle was towed by Todys. Centre Street and Bowen Street are both public ways maintained by the City of Newton. The injured motorcyclist, Officer Clements, was transported to Saint Elizabeth Hospital with fire fighters on board. I was able to follow up with Officer Clements on the phone the next day who was admitted over night at the hospital. Officer Clements stated he has no recollection of the accident and can only remember driving down Centre Street to begin to pick up cones to open up all lanes of traffic. Officer Clements stated he suffered a brain bleed, head, back, left foot and right thumb injuries. A Massachusetts Uniform Citation was issued and mailed to Helen for Chapter 89 Section 7A, failure to yield to emergency vehicle, police motorcycle.

On Tuesday May 7th, 2019 at approximately 13:15 hours I responded to the area of 30 Langley Road for an auto vs. pedestrian accident. At the time of the accident the weather was sunny and the road conditions were dry. Langley Road is a public way maintained by the City of Newton. Upon arrival I first spoke to the pedestrian who was inside the ambulance getting medical attention. The pedestrian identified as Donna Kalikow (S24151638) stated she was standing in an open parking space for a few seconds, attempting to walk across the street to enter J.P. Licks. Donna stated she was standing in the marked parking space waiting for traffic to stop to safely cross the street. Donna states the cars stopped to let her cross and she proceeded into the roadway. She states MV1 was attempting to back into the parking space that she was standing in and struck her right side and knocked her to the ground. Donna states the operator of MV1 stopped the vehicle when he realized he had struck her and got out to contact 911. Donna appeared to have minor injuries and complained of head pain. Medics transported Donna to NWH to be further evaluated. The operator of MV1 identified as Christopher Moos (S24090966) stated he was attempting to parallel park into an empty parking space and never saw the pedestrian standing in the space. Christopher stated as he was backing up into the space he was notified by a bystander that he just struck a pedestrian. Christopher stated he immediately stopped the vehicle and got out to assist the pedestrian and contact 911. Christopher stated he was not travelling no more than 5mph at the time of the accident. MV1 did not have any damage to the vehicle and was able to leave the scene. Christopher reported no injuries. Several photographs were taken of the scene and submitted to the IT Bureau. I mailed the operator a Massachussetts Uniform Citation for a City of Newton Ordinance violation for Section 19-75 Failure to use care when backing.

Lisa Pattison was operating vehicle #2. Pattison states that she was struck from behind while at the stop sign on Mill St. at Walnut St. Lisa Lundwall was operating vehicle #1. Lundwall was unable to answer any questions. Lundwall appeared to be suffering from a medical emergency. I called Lundwalls father with her cell phone, who stated that he lives in Utah and Lisa has no medical issues. Lundwall is a dog walker and had 3 dogs in her vehicle. Cataldo responded and took Lundwall to NWH. Tody's transported the vehicle and dogs to Rotherwood Animal Hospital on Winchester St. The staff at Rotherwood and Sgt. O'Connell called the dog owners to make arrangements for their return. Tody's towed Lundwalls vehicle.

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

On 5/20/19 at about 1510hrs I was dispatched to 136 Evelyn Rd for an MVA. En route to the location with Ofc Gourdeau, it was determined by first arriving Ofc Gourdeau that a vehicle had crashed through a fence at the end of Troy Lane and came to rest in the backyard of 126 Evelyn Rd. On arrival, I located the vehicle operator, identified as Mr Stuart Phillips who was operating MA Reg 8VVP40, an '03 Jaguar S Type model. Mr Phillips was walking around the backyard after the collision and appeared coherent as to what had transpired. He sustained a laceration to the top of his head and was bleeding heavily. We sat him down in a lawn chair prior to medics arrival to evaluate. When asked what happened, he stated he "hit the gas instead of the brakes". I asked him where did the accident begin? He stated he was turning around at the end of Troy Lane (a dead end cul de sac) and crashed through the fence there. Mr Phillips was alert and speaking clearly. I asked him if he was on any medication? He stated he was taking Plavix only, a blood thinner. I asked about his medical history and he stated he was released from Spalding Rehab today for treatment from a stroke and was receiving occupational therapy. Medics arrived to evaluate and he was transported to NWH for treatment. An investigation of the crash path of the vehicle revealed the following based on tire tracks and damage left behind: The vehicle crashed through the fence at the end of the cul de sac belonging to 41A Helene Rd; Vehicle drove over that back lawn, clipped the back deck attached to the rear of the house; damaging the base of the deck and lattice below; Vehicle travelled over the patio, then crashed through shrubbery down an embankment leading to the backyard of 132 Evelyn Rd; Vehicle drove through backyard of 132 Evelyn, then continued along the side of the house where it drove over damaging three retaining walls and clipped a large tree; After driving over the third retaining wall, vehicle continued through the backyard of 126 Evelyn, causing significant lawn damage; Vehicle continued until it hit the back of the house at 126 Evelyn; there, it drove over the rear patio before it struck a ground level basement window and window well; It came to a rest there where the vehicle caught on fire under the hood.

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.

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.

Dean Olszewski and Ryan Poras stated they were at the picnic benches and left their bikes there and walked in the crosswalk to Dunkin Donuts to get some food. Dean and Ryan stated they then left the store and crossed back to the picnic benches where Deans sister Morgan was waiting. Dean gave Morgan some money so she could go to Dunkin Donuts and Morgan went and crossed the street alone and the next thing they saw was Morgan in front of Dunkin Donuts with an unknown woman with her arms around Morgan. Dean and Ryan stated Morgan crossed back to the picnic benches and when they asked Morgan what had happened she stated "nothing". Later Morgan then told Dean she was hit by a car. I spoke with an employee of Dunkin Donuts who stated he witnessed the entire incident. Kelvin Matovu stated he had groups of kids coming inside to get donuts around 12:25pm. Kelvin stated he witnessed Morgan with other children at the picnic benches in front of Starbucks. Kelvin stated he saw Morgan attempting to cross Commonwealth Ave with her helmet on and no bicycle with her. Kelvin stated Morgan pressed the crosswalk button on the traffic light at the intersection but stated she did not cross in the crosswalk and crossed directly in front of the stores windows which are not in line with the crosswalk. Kelvin stated he did not notice if she had the walk sign or not. Kelving stated as Morgan crossed into traffic she was rushing and stopped in the middle of the road where the two yellow medium stripes are and looked confused. Kelvin stated it seemed she was confused because cars were going past her in both directions and so she stopped in the middle of the road. Kelvin stated a female customer who was inside the store went out and made contact with Morgan when she finally crossed the street and made it to the front door of Dunkin Donuts. Kelvin stated he did not see a car make contact with Morgan or hear anything related to a crash. Kelving stated Morgan seemed confused and did not appear injured. Kelvin stated the female customer put her arms around Morgan to make sure she was okay. After the incident, Kelvin stated Morgan did not enter the store and went back to the picnic benches where the other children were located and they left northbound on Lexington Street. Kelvin stated the female customer came into the store and Kelvin gave the woman a free coffee for assisting Morgan. The unidentified female customer then left the area. Dunkin Donuts has no cameras that face the street. Officer G. Claflin spoke with the employees at Keys Drugstore and they stated they did have cameras facing the street and will contact the store manager who will contact the Traffic Bureau if the incident was caught on the camera. I advised Tamika that a report will be filed and if there is any development regarding the possible car involved I will contact her. Medic 2 was on scene and Tamika signed a patient refusal for Morgan. Morgan is a student at Burr Elementary School. While writing this report Tamika called and stated that Morgan remembered that the woman who assisted her after the collision walked her inside Dunkin Donuts.

On 09/21/20 at 14:46 hours, I (Traffic Unit # 523) responded to the parking lot of 88 Chestnut Street for a motor vehicle accident involving a pedestrian. The weather at the time was 60 degrees ( localconditions.com) and the sky was clear and sunny. The road surface was dry. The parking lot is a thru way that the public use to enter/exit the lot or park there. On arrival at the same time with the Fire and Medics, I observed a female laying in the middle of the lot facing down on her back. A small red and gray CVS like type shopping carriage was knocked over and resting on it's side in front of the victim's head. The carriage was moved to the side in order to tend to the victim I also observed a black Honda Civic bearing MA reg.# 3741TW that was involved in the accident. The Honda was out of the parking spot resting approximately two feet away from the pedestrian's legs. I then spoke to the pedestrian identified as Darla Gipson in the rear of the ambulance. She sustained an abrasion to her front left shoulder and arm area which I observed. She also complained of left knee and elbow pain. She stated that she walking through the middle of the parking lot pushing the carriage by the door entrance in a westerly direction towards Chestnut Street. She states that she never saw a vehicle backing up and then she was suddenly struck and believes she was pushed underneath the vehicle. She was then transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital by Cataldo Ambulance. I then spoke to the operator of the Honda Civic identified as Linda Burke (MA S70320414). Ms. Burke was parked in the first spot to the right of the walkway that leads to the entrance/exit doorway. I asked her what occurred and she stated that she was backing her vehicle up to exit the parking lot when she looked behind her not seeing anything in sight. She then started backing up and struck the pedestrian without realizing it. She says the driver of a green cab and his female customer who were no longer on scene were yelling at her to stop her vehicle because the pedestrian was underneath it. She then stopped her vehicle. I observed minor scrapes to the entire rear bumper of the vehicle so it is unknown where it actually struck the pedestrian/carriage. I observed no obvious signs of damage to the carriage. It should be noted that Ms. Burke's Honda does not have a back up camera or back up sensors. There are no surveillance cameras to the apartment complex and no witnesses came forward for the accident. As a result of the investigation, Ms. Burke will be issued Uniform Citation # T1271069 for Newton City Ordinance 19-75 Failure To Use Care in Backing. Digital photos were taken by me of the scene.
