Narrative:
On 8/17/2020 at 1550 hrs, while on patrol, I was flagged down by a passerby stating a man had just fallen off his "Bike" in front of 1680 Washington St. Upon arrival, I observed a motorcycle parked on the side of the road with the operator standing next to it. The motorcycle had several scratches on its side and a cracked plastic window, consistent with a collision. The operator stated as he was traveling eastbound on Washington St. his motorcycle began to "skid" on the road's surface as he changed lanes. This "skid" caused the operator to loose control resulting in a collision with the road's surface. The operator had minor lacerations to the knee and elbow and was transported to Newton-Wellesley Hospital. The Motorcycle was placed in the adjacent parking lot, to be picked up later in the evening. It should be noted the roadway in front of 1680 Washington St. had recently been paved over and was smooth and free of debris or defect. There were yaw marks for approx 100 yards in both lanes. There was no indication from the marks of a lane change.

Narrative:
Reporting party states he is a garbage collector and was standing on the outside of vehicle #1 (trash truck) in the normal position used to jump off the truck, when he was struck by the opening door of vehicle #2. RP was on the rear passenger side ramp, and the trash truck was driving southbound on Westwood St right at Webster St. Vehicle #2 was reported to be parked on the side of the road when the reporting party was struck in the right arm. Medical attention was declined. I spoke with the operator of vehicle #2 who told me that he was parked on the side of the road and saw the garbage truck approaching from the rear. Operator #2 states he did not open the door, and believes that the other involved party may have had his arm extended as it made contact with his vehicle. Parties had already exchanged information prior to my arrival. Waste Management manager John Fogdiok ( 508-261-7228) is aware of the incident. No damage was sustained to either vehicle, and it is believed that the trash truck itself was not struck at all. Due to the conflicting statements, this report is for documentation and insurance purposes only at this time. All parties were advised and are satisfied.

Narrative:
On Thursday, October 15, 2020, while assigned to Traffic unit N525, I responded to the Whole Foods parking lot entrance located at 916 Walnut Street, Newton for a report of a motor vehicle/bicycle crash. Walnut Street is a public way maintained by the City of Newton. The weather at the time of the crash was clear and sunny. The road surface was dry. I spoke with the operator of MV1, Tyrone Powell. Powell stated he was operating his 2016 Toyota Highlander (MA: VTT188) while traveling across Walnut Street (E) from Carthay Circle. Powell stated there was a strong sun glare at this time on his passenger side. Powell stated as he entered the Whole Foods parking lot entrance, the passenger side of his vehicle collided with a passing bicyclist that was traveling northbound on Walnut Street. Powell reported no injuries. I observed damage to the passenger side hood/fender of MV1. I spoke with the bicyclist involved in the crash, Scott Chamberlain. Chamberlain stated he was operating his bicycle on Walnut Street (N) in the marked bicycle lane near the entrance to the Whole Foods located at 916 Walnut Street. Chamberlain stated he had a bicycle helmet on at this time. Chamberlain stated that he observed a vehicle to his left travel across Walnut Street in front of him into the Whole Foods parking lot. Chamberlain stated he was unable to avoid crashing into him. Chamberlain reported minor injuries and signed a patient refusal with Newton Medics. I observed no substantial damage to his red Specialized bicycle. Photos were taken and submitted to the IT Bureau. While on scene, Officers did notice a strong sun glare coming from the Southeast direction of Walnut Street. This glare would have shined on the passenger side area of MV1 as it crossed Walnut Street.
