Narrative:
On 09/30/2020 I responded to the area of Waverley Ave and Brackett Rd for a single vehicle motor vehicle crash involving a utility pole. Both Waverley Ave and Brackett Rd are public ways in the City of Newton. Vehicle 1 described as a 2011 Kenworth commercial box truck (RI Con Reg 80859). Vehicle 1 was traveling southbound on Waverley Ave when it struck overhanging utility wires (Eversource Pole #44) located over the roadway near the intersection of Brackett Rd. As a result of the impact Vehicle 1 sustained major damage to the roof of the cargo area. The force of the impact caused the utility pole #44 to break in half. It should be noted that at the time of the crash the weather was steady rain with high winds. No injuries were reported on scene. The operator of Vehicle 1 stated that he was traveling southbound on Waverly Ave and did not see the power lines until it was too late. After further investigation it was determined that a tree(private) located on Brackett Rd had come down due to the high winds and landed on power lines. These power lines were also attached to utility pole #44. The force caused the power lines from utility pole #44 to sag over Waverley Ave. As result Vehicle 1 did not have enough clearance under the power lines. Vehicle 1 was towed from the scene by Tody's Towing. Towed MV inventory completed. Due to the live wires in the roadway, Newton Fire responded and secured the scene. Eversource was also notified and responded to the scene. Pictures were taken and submitted to the IT Bureau.

Narrative:
On 09/30/2020 at approximately 19:32hrs members of the Newton Police Patrol Bureau responded to a motor vehicle crash near the intersection of Washington St and Eddy St. After an initial investigation of the crash the Patrol Bureau secured the crash scene and called in the Newton Police Traffic Bureau to investigate. At approximately 19:45hrs Sgt. Devine, Ofc Wilson and I (Ofc Schlegel) from the NPD Traffic Bureau responded to the scene to investigate. Upon arrival to the scene I was met by Ofc Kane of the NPD Patrol Bureau. Ofc Kane stated that the crash was located in the driveway of 74 Eddy St and that it involved a Ford F350 pickup striking two parked cars. Ofc Kane stated that the operator identified as Kyle Butler had already been taken to Newton Wellesley Hospital by Cataldo EMS for injuries. . Upon approaching the crash scene I observed the following: The crash occurred at night time hours at approximately 19:32EST near the intersection of Washington St and Eddy St. Both Washington St and Eddy St are public ways in the City of Newton. The weather conditions at the time of the crash were a dark and clear with a temperature of approximately 60 degrees F. Washington St is a four lane undivided roadway (2 westbound travel lanes and 2 eastbound travel lanes). Washington St lighted roadway which has concrete light poles on both the westbound and eastbound sides. Washington St was under construction at the time and had a base coat of asphalt applied. At the time of the crash Washington St did not have any painted lane markings due to ongoing construction. Washington St is separated from the road sides on both the eastbound edge and the westbound edge with fixed granite curbing. The roadway also had several orange traffic barrels and traffic cones located edges of the eastbound and westbound lanes. Affixed to the light poles and the traffic barrels were temporary no parking signs for the ongoing road construction. At the time of the crash no road construction activities were taking place. No major debris or other obstructions were observed in the roadway. Washington St is a major roadway in the City of Newton and travels west to East across the entire City of Newton. This area of Washington St where the crash occurred is in between West Newton Square and Newtonville Square, this area has a posted 35 MPH speed limit. Both West Newton Square and Newtonville Square are densely populated with several businesses and residential areas. The section of Washington St where the crash occurred is also traveled frequently by pedestrian, bicycle and motor vehicle traffic. At the time the crash occurred 19:32hrs This area of Washington St is still a heavily travelled roadway. I observed Vehicle 1 described as a 2003 Ford F350 color white (MA Reg 5DT664) located in the driveway of 74 Eddy St. 74 Eddy St is a multi-family dwelling house located on the corner of Washington St and Eddy St. The driveway of 74 Eddy St is on the Washington St side. Vehicle was faced easterly across the driveway. I observed Vehicle 1to have extensive damage to the entire vehicle including but not limited to the enclosed cab area, cab roof and all windows, front end, rear end, along with both driver and passenger side. I also observed city of Newton owned concrete traffic light resting on top of the cab area of Vehicle 1. Upon further observation of Vehicle 1 it appears that both front tires and rims were flat, heavily damaged and had little to no tread left. Both front tires were worn down to the interior steel belt. I also observed that Vehicle 1 did not have a valid inspection sticker. Located to the immediate front of Vehicle 1 and resting on the front end was a white fence which had damage consistent with the impact of a motor vehicle. Immediately to the driver's side of Vehicle 1 was Vehicle 2 described as a 2007 gray Subaru Forester (MA Reg 45D610. Vehicle 2 was facing westerly across the driveway. Vehicle 2 had extensive damage to the driver's side front end, rear end, in addition to the entire driver and passenger sides. At this time Vehicle 2's drivers door was in contact with Vehicle 1's drivers door. Both drivers doors could not be opened.The damage to Vehicle 2 appeared to be consistent with impact from another motor vehicle. To immediate passenger side of the Vehicle 2 I observed Vehicle 3 described as a 2011 Toyota Rav4 color black (MA Reg 47XB99). Vehicle was facing in an easterly direction across the driveway. I observed the Vehicle 3 to have extensive damage to driver's side rear quarter panel, passenger side front quarter panel and front end. Also observed was damage to south east corner of the dwelling of 74 Eddy St. This area of the dwelling is located adjacent to the drive way. The damage appeared consistent with the impact caused by a motor vehicle. Also observed were large amounts of debris located in the area of the crash which included the sidewalk, yard and the driveway of 74 Eddy St. The debris included pieces of concrete which appeared to have been dislodged from the concrete light pole. A city of Newton no parking sign was lying in the yard of 74 Eddy St. This parking sign would have been attached to the concrete light pole due to ongoing road construction on Washington St. I also observed two tire marks on a curb stone located next the westbound lane of Washington St. These tire marks were in front of the residence of 74 Eddy St and were to the immediate left of a storm drain. The tire marks were consistent with being struck by a motor vehicle. In between the tire marks and just after the curb there was a hole in the ground with wires sticking out of it. This hole appears to be the location the concrete light pole was located prior to impact. Tire marks were located on Washington St traveling from the east bound lane easterly across the westbound lane and ending at the tire marks on the curb. The total length of the tire marks was approximately 190 feet. After conducting an on scene investigation it appears that Vehicle 1 from the start of the tire mark in eastbound travel lane of Washington St traveled 190 feet in the easterly direct across the westbound lane of Washington St and impacted the curb in front of 74 Eddy St. The tire marks had lateral striations almost the entire length indicating that the front tires were rolling and sliding with little to no braking prior to impact with the curb. After impact with the curb Vehicle 1 exited the roadway, struck a concrete light pole. Vehicle 1 then traveled over a sidewalk, across the yard of 74 Eddy St and into the driveway of 74 Eddy St. Located in the driveway of 74 Eddy St were Vehicle 2 and Vehicle 3. Vehicle 2 was parked facing toward the rear of 74 Eddy St. Vehicle 3 located to the passenger side of Vehicle 2 and was parked facing towards Washington St. When Vehicle 1 entered the driveway it struck Vehicle 2. The force of the impact of Vehicle 1 striking Vehicle 2 caused Vehicle 2 to strike Vehicle 3. The force of the impact of Vehicle 2 striking Vehicle 3 caused Vehicle 3 to strike the southeast corner of the dwelling located at 74 Elliot St. Vehicle 1 continued across the drive way and struck a white fence before coming to final rest. Vehicle traveled a approximately 55 feet from when it initially struck to the curb till final rest. No other injuries were reported on scene. All involved vehicles were towed from the scene by Tody's Towing. After the investigation the operator of Vehicle 1 Kyle Butler was issued Citations T2015882 and T2015883 for: Mgl 90/24/O Recklass Operation of a Motor Vehicle Mgl 89/4B/A Failure to Operate in the Right Lane Mgl 90/20 Failure to Submit a Motor Vehicle for Inspection Mgl 90/7 Defective Equipment (worn front tire treads) Mgl 90/13A Failure to wear a seatbelt An immediate threat form was also filed with the MA RMV.

Narrative:
On Tuesday, October 6, 2020, I received a call at approximately 2158 hours from Sgt. Devine of the Newton Police Traffic Bureau. Sgt. Devine stated there was a motor vehicle crash with serious injury that had just occurred at the intersection of Crafts Street and Waltham Street in Newton. Sgt. Devine stated that one of the parties involved had suffered life threatening injuries and was transported to Brigham and Women's Hospital. I responded to the scene and conducted an investigation of the crash with the assistance of Sgt. Devine and Captain Boudreau. Upon arrival it was reported to me by officers on scene that a party operating a motorized scooter on Crafts Street (E) had been struck by a 2007 Chrysler Town and Country (MA: 5EE316). The Chrysler was attempting to make a left turn from Crafts Street (W) onto Waltham Street (S). The operator of the motorized scooter, identified as Nadhir Tchikou (DOB: 11/23/1993), had suffered serious injuries to his head and left leg area and was transported to Brigham and Women's Hospital. It was reported to me that Officers Conary, Boyle, and Donovan were the first to arrive at the crash and provided life-saving care to Mr. Tchikou prior to being transported to Brigham and Women's Hospital. Officer Donovan responded to Brigham and Women's to keep us updated on Mr. Tchikou's status. The update provided to me while on scene was that Mr. Tchikou was in critical condition and in surgery. Due to the seriousness of the crash and potential fatal injury, Sgt. Devine contacted the Massachusetts State Police to assist in the investigation. Sgt. Mahoney and Trooper Paul responded as part of the Massachusetts State Police Crash Reconstruction team and conducted a supplemental investigation of the crash (MSP report 2020-CAR-000285). The location where the crash took place is Crafts Street and Waltham Street. Crafts Street and Waltham Street are public ways maintained by the City of Newton. Crafts Street and Waltham Street are municipal roadways that support two way travel for motor vehicles and bicycles with an unprotected median in the middle of both roadways to separate the direction of travel. This intersection was recently re-paved within the last month and has newly painted street markings including crosswalks, dedicated bicycle lanes, and stops lines at the intersections. Crafts Street at this intersection features two travels lanes. I observed the road surface to be dry at the time of my arrival on scene. The north lane in the westbound direction of Crafts Street permits travel straight ahead and also permits motorists/bicyclist to take a right turn onto Harding Street. The south lane in the westbound direction of Crafts Street is a dedicated left turn only lane that coincides with a left turn only arrow on the traffic signal in the middle of the intersection. The opposite side of Crafts Street permits traffic traveling in the eastbound lane to travel straight or take a left turn onto Harding Street from is a single lane travel lane. The area is well lit featuring street lights bright enough to illuminate the intersection for motorist traveling through the area. The weather at the time of the crash appeared to be clear. In the intersection where the crash took place, I observed a large debris field comprised of parts from a 2020 Tao Tao motorized scooter (49CC) and a 2007 Chrysler Town and Country (MA: 5EE316). I observed the motorized scooter (VIN: L9NTCBAG1L1010287) resting on its side facing North in the northbound lane of Crafts Street in the intersection. The motorized scooter has significant damage to its front, right, and left side and was inoperable. The area in the immediate vicinity of the motorized scooter was saturated with gasoline. The rear lights and dash of the motorized scooter were illuminated while I was observing the crash scene. The headlights were not intact due to the impact from the crash and I was unable to determine if they were functioning. The motorized scooter was removed from the roadway by Tody's Towing. The intersection where the crash took place had numerous first responders present immediately after the crash rendering aid to Mr. Tchikou prior to his transport to the hospital. It was reported by officers on scene that some of the items and debris in the intersection had been moved from their initial place of rest after the crash took place. A black MMG helmet was observed resting on the ground outside the debris field from the crash before the westbound left turn only lane of Crafts Street. It is unknown if it was moved from its initial place of rest by a first responder. I observed the strap on the helmet that would be used to secure it to the operator to be in good operable condition. I did not observe it to be defected and the securing feature of the strap was in working order. I did not observe any blood, hair, or other apparent physical evidence inside the helmet that would be consistent with the head injury reported to the operator of the motorized scooter. I observed what appeared to be fresh markings on the front mouth/nose area of the helmet. I observed a white Iphone with a red phone case lying on the roadway a short distance away from the impact area. The Iphone was on and displaying travel directions from the Iphone application Waze. The Iphone and the helmet were seized pending the status of the operator of MV2. A property/evidence form was completed and the Iphone and helmet were secured in property locker number 9. I spoke with the operator of MV1, William Moran (S34946215). Moran stated he was operating his white 2007 Chrysler Town and Country (MA: 5EE316) on Crafts Street (N) as he approached Waltham Street. Moran stated he had a green light and activated his left blinker as he approached the intersection with the intention of taking a left turn onto Waltham Street. Moran stated as he proceeded to take his left turn he saw "orange" and was unable to avoid hitting the object in front of him. Moran stated the object came out of nowhere and he swerved to the left in an attempt to avoid the crash. Moran stated after the collision he accelerated away from the impact area and came to a controlled stop on Waltham Street (S) just past the intersection. Moran stated he exited his vehicle and looked back at the intersection he had just travelled through. Moran stated as he began walking towards the intersection he observed a party laying on the roadway in the intersection. Moran stated the party was not wearing a helmet at this time. Moran also added that he believes the moped involved in the crash did not have its headlights on prior to impact. Moran stayed on scene and cooperated fully with officers during the investigation. A query of Moran's license and registration status through Newton Police Dispatched showed they are both active. I asked Moran if he was using a cell phone, GPS, or any other type of hand held device prior to the crash. Moran stated he was not. I asked Moran if he was distracted by anything either inside the vehicle or something on the roadway prior to the crash. Moran stated he was not. I asked Moran if he was currently impaired in any way that would impede his ability to operate a vehicle safely. Moran stated he was not. I asked Moran if he takes any medications or has a medical condition that would impede his ability to operate a vehicle safely. Moran stated he does not. Moran reported no injuries as a result of the crash. I observed Moran's vehicle at its controlled rest location. The vehicle was parked on Waltham Street (S) in the southbound lane just past the intersection of Crafts Street. The 2007 Chrysler Town and Country (MA: 5EE316) had substantial damage to the front passenger side bumper, hood, fender, windshield, and passenger door area. There was physical evidence of what appeared to be hair, blood, and tissue presumed to be from the operator of MV2 present in the cracked windshield, and on the passenger side door/mirror area. I observed a blue Commonwealth of Massachusetts "R" inspection sticker with a date of 05/28/2020 affixed to the windshield. Moran stated the rejection sticker was a result of an emissions failure. The inspection sticker expires in 2021. I asked Moran if there were any other mechanical issues with the vehicle. Moran stated there were no issues to his knowledge. I observed no objects present inside the vehicle during my investigation that would have potentially impeded the operators ability to see clearly through the windshield. I observed glass debris from the windshield inside the passenger and driver area of the vehicle. There was no air bag deployment inside the vehicle. Subsequent to my investigation, the vehicle was seized pending the status of the operator of MV2. The vehicle was towed from the scene by Tody's towing and secured in the Newton Police Department garage. The vehicle was escorted to the garage by Officer Donovan. A towed motor vehicle form was completed by Officer Donovan and the key for the vehicle was secured in property locker number 9. A property/evidence form was completed. Subsequent to my investigation Moran's black Alcatel cell phone was seized pending the status of the operator of MV2. A property/evidence form was completed and the phone was secured in property locker number 9. Officer Conary stated to me that prior to my arrival on scene she interviewed a witness to the crash and provided me with the following information. Joshua Hamel was operating his vehicle (W) in the right lane of Crafts Street towards Waltham Street. Hamel stated that MV1 (MA: 5EE136) was in the left turn lane on Crafts Street (W) towards Waltham. Hamel stated the scooter was headed eastbound on Crafts Street from Waltham. Hamel stated MV1 began to take a left turn and there was a head on collision with the scooter. Hamel stated he believed the traffic light at the time of the crash was green. On Friday, October 9, 2020, I spoke with Hamel via telephone. Hamel corroberated the statement he gave to Officer Conary. I asked Hamel if he believed the headlights on the motorized scooter were activated at the time of the crash. Hamel stated he believes the headlights on the motorized scooter were on as it approached the intersection but was not postive. On Wednesday, October 7, 2020, I spoke with Mr. Tchikou in his ICU room at Brigham and Women's Hospital. Tchikou's wife, Yami Carrajza, was present in the room while I spoke with him. Tchikou stated he had a significant head injury, injuries to his nasal cavity, his back, and a significant injury to his left leg. I asked Tchikou about his recollection of the crash. Tchikou stated he had just left his friend's home on Hazelhurt Avenue in Newton and was traveling home to Brighton to bring his wife dinner. Tchikou stated he was traveling Eastbound on Crafts Street as he approached the intersection of Crafts Street and Waltham Street. Tchikou stated he had a green light and as he entered the intersection a white vehicle took a turn from the opposite side of the road in front of him. Tchikou stated he does not remember anything after that. I asked Tchikou if he was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash. Tchikou stated he was. I explained to Tchikou that I recovered a white Iphone with a red case at the scene of the crash. Tchikou identified the Iphone as his. I explained that the phone was displaying travel directions when I found it and I asked Tchikou if he was distracted by his phone prior to the crash. Tchikou stated he was not distracted by the phone and the phone was in a holder on the motorized scooter. I asked Tchikou if he remembers if his headlights were activated on his motorized scooter at the time of the crash. Tchikou stated they were on. I asked Tchikou if he could produce paperwork for the motorized scooter to prove he was the owner. Tchikou stated he had recently purchased the scooter and the paperwork for it was at his residence. Tchkou's wife e-mailed me a picture of the Certificate of Origin for the motorized scooter. I asked Tchikou if he could produce a license or permit that would allow him to operate the motorized scooter. Tchikou stated he did not have a Massachusetts license or permit, but had an Algerian license at this residence. I was able to observe a picture of the license on his wife's cell phone. The written text on the license was in Arabic. Tchikou did not have a translation of the license in English and did not possess an International Driver's Permit. As a result of my investigation, Mr. William Moran while operating MV1 (MA: 5EE316) entered the travel lane of MV2 (Tchikou) as he was making a left turn onto Waltham Street from Crafts Street. MV2 had the right of way and MV1 failed to yield to MV2's right of way causing the collision to take place. Moran was advised of my investigation and issued Massachusetts Uniform Citation T0115914 via mail by request for Chapter 90, Section 8 (Fail To Yield To The Right Of Way At An Intersection.) Mr. Nadhir Tchikou operated his motor scooter at the time of the crash without a valid license/permit. Tchikou is also in violation of operation of a motor scooter after dark (prohibited). The crash occurred at 2147 hours. Tchikou will be issued Massachusetts Uniform Citation T0115915 in hand at Brigham and Women's Hospital for Chapter 90, Section 1E (Unlicensed Operation Of A Motor Scooter) and Chapter 90, Section 1E (Operation Of A Motor Scooter After Sunset - Hours Restriction.)

Narrative:
On Tuesday October 13, 2020 at approx 1323 hours I went to the area of Anthony Rd at Anthony Cir for a report of a past hit/run that occurred at approx. 1215 hours in the westbound lane of 697 Washington Street. Upon arrival I met the operator of v1 Ms. OLGA KHOLODENKO, she stated she was traveling westbound in the left lane of Washington Street around the Whole foods area which is 697 Washington Street. She stated while traveling a red truck with a red trailer was on her right side traveling along side her, and while traveling the trailer had "swung" into her passenger side of her vehicle. She stated the truck/trailer kept traveling and she followed the trailer and took pictures while driving. She then went home and called her insurance company with the picture of the registration plate and they gave her the information which brought them at Anthony Rd at Anthony Cir, where the registered owner lived. The truck / trailer was not at the location. The trailer is MA trailer reg # C39390 a 2013 Brav trailer color red registered to CIRO CARBONE AND SONS INC 12 ANTHONY CIR NEWTON MA. Her vehicle is a 2020 Kia utility color white MA reg. 6ZG351. I observed some red transferred paint on her passenger side from the rear door to the front door. I advised them of process and I would look into the trailer. I was able to find the truck/trailer on California St at Dalby Street. I looked around the trailer and observed a minor scratch on the driver side of the trailer near the front of the trailer. I contacted the owner who due to the heavy rain all day sent home his employees. I will update oper 2 statement when I talk to him. At this time it appears with the trailer scratch being minor a reasonable person would have not known. Update: Monday October 19, 2020 I spoke with the oper of v2 via phone, he stated he was on Washington Street near Whole Foods traveling westbound with the truck/trailer. He stated he was traveling in the right travel lane. He stated the truck/ trailer was always in the proper slow lane and didn't know about the contact until I notified him. I advised him of the crash process.

Narrative:
Operator #1 was driving northbound on Lexington St behind a white box truck (vehicle #2) when she observed the truck strike a large branch from a city tree in front of 450 Lexington St. The branch fell onto the hood of vehicle #1, and the truck continued north without stopping. I observed slight damage to the front of vehicle #1 however a tow was not needed. Medics responded and documented a patient refusal from operator #1. This incident was called in by detail Officer B. Keefe, who was working a National Grid detail at this location (one lane was blocked off by cones but there was still a full travel lane being utilized for northbound traffic). A plate could not be obtained by anybody on scene due to the crash occurring so quickly. It is believed that there was black lettering on the truck, however what it said is unknown. Forestry was notified to remove the branch from the roadway.

It should be noted that I did not observe and parts on the ground or any debris indicating that the accident occurred in that location. The headlight was totally shattered out and there were missing parts from vehicle. There was also a fluid trail that appeared to be leaking from the front passenger side. This trail indicated that the vehicle was driven and backed in to the parking space after the collision took place. Based on my training and experience I do not believe that vehicle was struck in that location as a hit and run. There were no cameras in the area. The owner requested her own tow for the vehicle. I submitted a photo of the claimed hit and run scene to the IT bureau and it was attached to this accident report.

Upon arrival myself and n496(Ofc. Howes) observed a white SUV on its roof facing westbound in the eastbound lane of Vine Street (a public way owned, operated and maintained by the City of Newton). Upon our arrival Newton Firefighters had extracated the operator, (FOSTER Isabelle), who was sitting on a large rock in the front yard of 130 Vine Street. FOSTER was visibly upset, but didnt appear to have any major injuries. I asked FOSTER what happened and she stated she was travelling from Westgate Rd in Boston on her way home to Wellesley. She took a right turn onto Vine Street from LaGrange Street and began travelling westbound. FOSTER stated that she was travelling too fast and didnt realize how the road curved causing her to veer off the road and strike a large tree in the front of 130 Vine Street. FOSTER was travelling at a speed fast enough to cause the vehicle to flip onto its roof in the opposite lane of traffic. FOSTER admitted to me she was travelling too fast on the road. Vine street is a winding road that is not very well lit. Speed limit on the road is 20mph and its estimated FOSTER was travelling at least 30-45mph. The speed coupled with FOSTER's lack of familiarity with the area and her inexperience driving were all contributing factors to the crash. FOSTER was issued Massachusetts Uniform Citation T2012909 with the following civil motor vehicle infractions; C90 s18 SPEEDING (Posted) C89 s4a Marked Lanes Violation. FOSTER was transported to Beth Israel hospital by the medics and I was unable to issue the citation in hand at the time of the crash. Due to FOSTER's age (17) I also wanted to notify her parents and meet with them and FOSTER upon her release from the hospital. At approximately 1700 Hours I met with Scott Foster(Father) in person, Jodi Foster (Mother) and Isabelle foster via cell phone (speaker phone). I discussed the charges with all parties and explained the citation to Isabelle. Citation was given in hand to her father, Scott Foster and brough the citation to Isabelle.

Narrative:
On November 1st, 2020 at approximately 14:02 hours while assigned to N491 I responded along with Newton Fire and Medic One to the intersection of Pearl St @ Jackson Rd for a MV crash with minor injuries. On my arrival I first observed in the intersection a green colored Volkswagon with Vermont tag,HPK270 with extensive damage. The other involved vehicle a white Jeep Wrangler, bearing Ma tag, 8WK846 was located on the property of the Lincoln Elliot School, 191 Pearl St, also with extensive damage. The operator of the green Volkswagon was identified as Viorel Marin. He stated he was going E/B on Pearl St and was approaching the intersection of Jackson Rd when the light had turned green. As he was entered the intersection vehicle #2 came from his right side(N/B) on Jackson Rd at, according to him, a high rate of speed causing his vehicle to collide with the Jeep. He doesn't remember much after that. I observed a small cut to his right knee and later he showed me a small abrasion to his forehead. All his air bags had deployed on contact with vehicle #2 . I located the operator of the Jeep who was sitting on the ground being assisted by an unidentified women(not a passenger). She appeared shaken but had no visible signs of any serious injury from the crash. She identified herself as Tara Feeley. According to Ms Feeley she had been travelling N/B on Jackson Rd and was attempting to continue straight across the intersection of Pearl St when she was struck by vehicle #1 in the intersection. The impact caused her vehicle to flip over unknown amount of times finally landing on the property to the Lincoln Eliot School. Based on operator #2's statements, my observations of the scene, damage to her MV, it appeared her vehicle after contact with vehicle #1, flipped over N/B across the intersection first hitting the traffic light on the northeast corner, additionally making contact with the utility pole just east of the traffic light before finally landing right side up on the property of the Lincoln Eliot School. She reported climbing out her passenger side window when her vehicle finally stopped. She said,"she was lucky she had her seat belt on". I agreed. Ms Feeley also reported that she was sure that her light was green as she entered the intersection. I attempted to locate any possible witnesses from the crowd that were gathered near the crash site. There were two that heard the crash but none that actually saw what happened. I couldn't locate any cameras near the intersection. Both vehicles were towed from the scene due to the extensive damage/both totaled. Both operators had minor injuries and both declined to be transported to the hospital. They signed patient refusals. Officer Danny Anderson later took several pictures of the crash scene and the all the property damage. Both utility companies were notified. The camera disc was placed in the technology bureau mailbox.

On todays date 11/01/2020 both parties returned home to notice their vehicles to be damaged. Over the weekend there was snow that needed to be removed and due to my training experience and the bright yellow paint transfer and how high the damage was to both vehicles, it is believed to be a plow. Vehicle one had significant damage to the front passenger side wheel well and passenger door. Vehicle two had a long deep scratch from the passenger side front door to the rear door. Both vehicles showed bright yellow paint transfer onto the cars.

On Tuesday, November 3, 2020, while assigned to Traffic unit 525, I responded to the intersection of Langley Road and Union Street, Newton for a report of a motor vehicle crash with injury. The weather at the time of the crash was clear and sunny. The road surface was dry. Langley Road and Union Street are both public ways maintained by the City of Newton. I spoke with the operator of MV1, Victor Vayntraub (S86665758). Vayntraub stated they were operating their Volkswagen Touareg (MA: 7HP137) North on Langley Road towards Beacon Street. Vayntraub stated as he passed through the Union Street intersection of Langley Road, MV2 exited Union Street traveling East across the intersection and he was unable to avoid the collision. MV1's front end crashed into the passenger side of MV2. I observed significant damage to the front end of MV1. Tody's towing responded and removed MV1 from the roadway. The operator of MV1 was evaluated by Newton Medics on scene and signed a patient refusal. I spoke with the operator of MV2, Jean Scribner (S17093056). Scribner stated she as operating her 2016 Ford Explorer (MA: 274XPY) East on Union Street. Scribner stated she came to a stop at the stop sign on Union Street at Langley Road. Scribner stated she looked to her left and right, saw no vehicles, and proceeded to enter the intersection to cross over Langley road and continue straight. Scribner stated once in the intersection a white vehicle came out of nowhere and crashed into the passenger side of her vehicle. I observed significant damage to the passenger side of MV2. Tody's towing responded and removed MV2 from the roadway. The operator of MV2 was evaluated by Newton Medics on scene and signed a patient refusal. After speaking with both operators, the operator of MV2 (Scribner) failed to yield to MV1's right of way when she attempted to cross Langley Road from Union Street. Scribner was issued Massachusetts Uniform Citation T1442404 in hand for Chapter 89, Section 8 (Fail to Yield to the Right of Way at an Intersection). As a result of the crash, the municpal street sign at the intersection of Langley Road at Union Street (E) was damaged. Photos were taken and submitted to the IT Bureau.

During canvass for any possible witnesses, I spoke to a day care worker Ms Tiarra Taylor working outdoors in the playground next door at the church, approximately 848 Beacon St. She stated she observed at 1015hrs a beer truck driving E/B when the passenger side refrigerator door swung open and struck #1 as it drove by it.

After swapping papers with the unknown van operator, the beer truck operator left the scene. The beer truck operator was described as a Hispanic male, 5'7'' wearing a Budweiser hat. The beer truck was described as a taller large heavy-duty-box truck type, not a shorter roll up-door-type. Further described with truck body mostly color blue with white, with Budweiser, Sam Adams and Boston Red Sox logos. Unknown plates and unknown Distributor names. No video cameras seen in this area. Further canvass was negative results. Epstien satisfied with investigation and was advised to furnish all information to insurance company.

While he was on scene and loading up the pick up truck on the rear of the flat bed of MV1, operator of MV2 was attempting to drive around the tow truck. MV2 struck the driver side wheel area of the flat bed tow truck. Operator of MV2 stated he was unaware his steering wheel was turned all the way to the right when he stepped on the gas. This caused him to turn into the tow truck. MV1 had damage to the drivers side and wheel and MV2 had sustained damage to his passenger side. It should be noted that it appears that MV2 already had previous damage to the same area as duct tape was observed in the area that struck MV1. Neither party was injured and neither required a tow from the scene.

Both Tremont St and Waverly Ave are public ways in the City of Newton. Qualter stated that she was driving into solar glare and did not see any traffic in the intersection as she proceeded into it. Qualter stated that she believed that she still had the right of way and that traffic on Tremont St had a red light. Qualter stated that she did not see vehicle two until the time of impact . Qualter stated that she was not injured in the crash. Qualter's vehicle had major damage to the front driver's side windshield and front driver's side quarter panel. Operator of vehicle two Keith Ward stated that he was riding his Itraxx Cruze motor scooter west bound on Tremont St near Waverley Ave on 11/05/2020 at 10:28 hours. Ward stated that west bound traffic had a green light and he proceeded into the intersection. Ward stated that as he was approximately halfway into the intersection when vehicle one crashed into the right front of his vehicle. Ward stated that he was ejected from his motorcycle and onto the hood of vehicle one. Ward was wearing a helmet and his head had contact with vehicle one's driver side windshield causing substantial damage. Ward was evaluated by Newton Medic Unit 3 and refused medical treatment. Ward signed a patient refusal form provided by the medics. Ward had visible head lacerations that caused minor blood loss. Witness Jose David stated that he was riding on a motor scooter behind Ward. David stated that west bond traffic on Tremont St had a green light and that vehicle one did not stop at a red light. Based upon statements made to me and my observations of the involved vehicles, I issued Qualter MA Citation T2016100 and cited her for a violation of MGL 89/9 , failure to stop at a red light. I took photos of both vehicles and the disk was downloaded by the NPD's IT Bureau. Both vehicles were towed by Tody's Towing, and I filled out towed motor vehicle forms. During my investigation of this crash I discovered that the motor scooter that Ward was operating is classified as a motorcycle, because it's cylinder capacity exceeded 50cc. Ward's vehicle speedometer indicted that it's top speed was 50 MPH, and it's VIN tag stated it was a motorcycle. I observed that there was no license plate on Ward's vehicle and he stated to me that it was unregistered. A check of the MA RMV had no record of Ward's vehicle and also revealed that Ward's driver's license was suspended on 12/04/2018. It was also revealed from a of the MA RMV data base that witness Jose David's driver's license statue is expired non renewable as of 01/23/2017. David stated to me that he did not have a driver's license. I also discovered that David's motor scooter was classified as a motorcycle, because as with Ward's vehicle it also had a cylinder capacity exceeding 50cc. David stated to me that his vehicle was unregistered. I issued David MA Criminal Application T2015901 and cited him for violations of MGLs 90/10, operation of a motor vehicle with out a license, 90/34j uninsured motor vehicle and 90/9 , unregistered motor vehicle. I issued Ward MA Criminal Application T2015902 and cited him for violations of MGLs 90/23 , operating a motor vehicle after suspension, 90/34j, uninsured motor vehicle and 90/9 unregistered motor vehicle. I filled out an Operating After Suspension Affidavit and faxed it to the MA RMV Driver Control Unit.

According to the owners manual that I found on line the top speed for the Lectric XP is 20 MPH. Ahmed stated that he believed that north bound traffic on Lexington St had a green light but he could not be sure. Ahmed also stated that he was unfamiliar with the area and it traffic patterns. Ahmed stated that he saw Robidoux vehicle and thought it would stop. Ahmed stated that at the time of crash be estimated that he was travailing approximately 12 MPH. Ahmed was transported via EMS to Newton Wellesley Hospital form treatment of lacerations to his hands, legs and possible internal injuries. During the investigation of this crash I discovered via the MA RMV data base that Ahmed's driver's licenses was suspend on 10/05/2020 as a part of a CWOF for 90/24 OUI . Ahmed is on active probation of out Natick Distinct Court until 09/24/2021. Under Comm v. Lopez 91 Mass App. Ct. 485 ( 2017 ) the charge for operating a moped with a suspended license should be charged as 90/10 , operating with out a license as opposed to 90/23 operating with a suspended licenses. Under MGL 90/1d moped must have one number plate issued by the MA RMV , and Ahmed's moped did not. I took photos of Robidoux's vehicle and of Ahmed moped and the disk was downloaded by the NPD's IT Bureau. Based upon statements made to me as well as information from the MA RMV data base I issued Ahmed MA Criminal Application T2015903 and cited him for MGL 90/10, operating with out a license, 89/9 failure to stop for a red light and 90/1d, unregistered moped.

Narrative:
On November 6th, 2020 at approximately 14:20 hours while assigned to N491 I responded to Centre St on the bridge over the Mass pike N/B for a report of a multiple MV crash with possible injuries. On my arrival to the scene I observed vehicle #1, a grey Honda civic, ma reg. rs794x resting half on the sidewalk the other half crushed into the rear passenger side of vehicle #2. I was then informed there were two additional vehicles involved. Vehicle #1 apparently first crashed into vehicle #2 after abruptly changing lanes into the lane MV#2 was stopped in. This set of a chain reaction in which MV #2 to was forced into the rear of vehicle(#3) which then forced vehicle #3 into the vehicle(#4). Vehicles 2 thru 4 were all stopped due to the signal light being red at the time of the crash. I located the operator to vehicle #1 sitting on the sidewalk bleeding from several areas to his face which he sustained from the crash. He was identified as Terrence Donnelly. He reported driving N/B over the Centre St Bridge and was changing lanes when he realized the traffic was stopped in that lane. He attempted to avoid hitting the vehicle(#2) now in front of him, by swerving to the right to go onto the sidewalk but he still slammed half his vehicle into the rear passenger side of vehicle #2. I spoke with the operator to vehicle #2 identified as Linda Borque. She stated she was stopped on the bridge N/B near the off ramp to the mass pike(exit17 W/B) when she was rear ended by vehicle #1. The impact forced her M/V into the vehicle stopped in front of her(#3). Operator to vehicle #3 was identified as Sylvie Miskovitch. She stated she was also stopped on the bridge N/B for the signal light when she was rear ended by vehicle #2 which forced her vehicle into the vehicle stopped in front of her(#4). Operator of vehicle #4 was identified as Ronise Dorce. She stated she was stopped on the bridge N/B just at the exit to the Mass pike W/B when she was rear ended by vehicle #3. All drivers sustained minor injuries and all declined to go to the hospital. Patient refusal forms were signed by all parties. Vehicle # 1 was the only MV towed from the scene by Todys.

Operator states that she was driving westbound on River St when she felt her vehicle hit something in the road. She did not see anything, but completely lost control of MA reg 1LFH86. The vehicle ended up hitting a utility pole and sustained heavy damage/airbag deployment. Upon inspecting the scene, a rotor was located on River St near Auburndale Ave. It appears that the vehicle's right front balljoint snapped and caused severe mechanical failure, in turn causing the operator to lose control. Medics documented a patient refusal and Tody's towed the vehicle to their lot. Eversource was notified to check the integrity of pole #25 in front of 169 River St.

The operator of MV#2 was entrapped in her vehicle, but was able to be extracted from the vehicle by Newton Fire personnel. Operator #2 was able to inform me that she was traveling westbound on Commonwealth Ave. She noticed MV#1 cross over the double yellow line at a high rate of speed, and collide into her vehicle. The operator of MV#2 was conscious and alert and transported to Tufts Medical Center Boston for an evaluation. The operator of MV#1 declined medical attention and was given a Massachusetts Uniform Citation (T2014484) for violating MGL. Ch. 89. Sec. 4(a) Marked Lanes Violation. Both vehicles were towed away from the scene by Tody's Towing Service. Photographs of this collision were taken on the (N492) camera and will be attached to this report.

Narrative:
MV1 stated she was on Watertown St heading w/b and "stopped, then turned left onto Adams St when the bicycle hit me." I observed minor damage to the driver's side front bumper, however the operator stated that she "did not know if that was old or new." I asked the operator if the bicycle was coming towards her or was travelling next to her to which both she and a witness stated "alongside on the left by the yellow lines." No tows required or injuries reported. The bicyclist stated he was travelling e/b and not w/b on Watertown St as the witness and operator of MV1 reported. The bicyclist further stated that MV1 was "stopped" in the intersection so "I continued straight and she turned right into me." The bicyclist further stated that he remembers seeing the "headlight and drivers side front hit the back of my bike." The bicycle was heavily damaged and the rear wheel was broken off. The bicyclist was placed in a c-spine collar by Cataldo Ambulance and transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital for abrasions to his head, left hand and right leg." Digital images of the scene were captured and turned over to the IT Bureau by Ofc Durickas. The bicyclist had a helmet, headlight, rear light and was wearing reflective clothing. It should be noted that the Village Bank has a camera which faces this intersection. Due to both MV1 & the bicycle being moved from the scene prior to my arrival, the conflicting stories regarding the direction of travel regarding the bicyclist, it is unknown at this time who is at fault.

Narrative:
Operator of vehicle one Timothy Trencher stated that on 12/01/2020 at 08:36 hours he was driving his vehicle a 2010 Toyota Prius east bound on Linwood Ave near Walnut St. Linwood Ave and Walnut St are public ways in the City of Newton. Techler stated that he came to a stop at the stop sign at Walnut St and then turned left into the north bound lane of Walnut St. Techler stated that he did not see any on coming traffic , bicyclist or pedestrians in the roadway before he turned into the north bound lane of Walnut St. Techler stated that his vehicle's front bumper made contact with a bicycle ridden by Nicolas Le ( DOB 04/05/2006 ) . Techler stated that he was not injured and his vehicle did not require a tow. Le stated that he is a student at Newton North High School and was riding his bike a Giant mountain bike to school. Le stated that he was stopped on his bike on the northeast corner of the intersection of Linwood Ave and Walnut St. Le stated that he saw a pedestrian latter identified as Jason Kaufman walking west bound in the crosswalk from the east side of Walnut St to the west side of Walnut St. Le stated that as Kaufman was crossing over Walnut St he assumed that it was clear to cross over Walnut St while riding his bike. Le stated that he was unsure if the yellow flashing crosswalk lights were activated. Le stated that he rode his bike off of the side walk at the northeast corner of Walnut St at Linwood Ave. Le stated that he did not ride his bike in the marked crosswalk that run from east to west over Walnut St at Linwood Ave. Le stated he rode his bike diagonally into the intersection towards the south west corner of the intersection. Le stated that he did not see Techler's vehicle prior to entering the intersection. It should be noted that at the time of the crash Le was wearing earphones and stated the he was listening to music. Le stated that he was not injured in the crash and signed a patient refusal from in the presence of his father Thanh Le who responded to the crash scene. Le's bike had damage to the front tire and front breaks. Based upon statments made to me by Le, Techler and my observations of the crash area, I believe that they both bear responsibility for the cause of the crash. Le was not in a marked crosswalk and was not sure if the flashing yellow crosswalk lights were activated. Le also was listening to earphones while crossing diagonally into the intersection. I issued Techler MA Unifrom Citation T2015904 and cited him for a violation of MGL 90/14 , failure to yield to a bicyclist while turing left.

Narrative:
The operator of MV#1 stated that she entered Melrose St from Commonwealth Ave and after stopping to let another MV pass south bound, she proceeded north on a very congested Melrose St. The operator of MV#1 then noticed that something was wrong with her MV and pulled to the side of the road. Operator was then approached by the operator of MV#2 and informed that she had struck his MV. The operator of MV#2 stated that he was attempting to pull to the side of Melrose St (#230) because it was very congested with parked MV's on both sides, when his MV was side swiped (same direction) by MV#1. MV#2 was then pushed into MV#3, which was parked and unoccupied at the time of the crash. The operator of MV#2, a witness and an uninvolved resident all stated to me that the operator of MV#1 had attempted to leave the scene and lie about what MV actually struck the damaged MV's. I discussed this with operator #1 who stated she was unaware she had struck another MV until she noticed issues with her car and at first assumed it must have been the MV traveling in front of her. There were no reported injuries and MV#1 was towed due to a front broken axel.

On Tuesday, December 01, 2020, while assigned to Traffic unit N525, I responded to the rear parking lot of 200 Boylston Street, Newton for a report of a motor vehicle crash. I spoke with the reporting party and operator of MV1, Sungmi Lee (S54407875). Ms. Lee stated she was operating her 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe (MA: 6KR971) Eastbound through the second floor of the Wegmans parking garage, a public right of way. The area she was traveling through is designated for one was travel with a vehicle ramp to her right that allows access for vehicle to go up or come down from the third floor. Ms. Lee stated MV2 (2018 Jeep Compass, CT: AR52330), traveled down the ramp from the third floor and did not stop at the stop sign at the entrance to the second floor. Ms. Lee stated the front end of MV2 crashed into the passenger side of her vehicle. I observed damage to the passenger side area of MV1. Ms. Lee stated her neck was sore from the crash but declined having EMS respond to evaluate her. Ms. Lee stated both vehicles pulled over to exchange information after the crash. Ms. Lee stated the operator of the other vehicle, Avery Adams, stated to her she was at fault for the crash. Ms. Lee stated she noticed the license Ms. Adams showed her was expired. Ms. Adams left the area after they exchanged information and Ms. Lee contacted Newton PD about Ms. Adams' license status. I queried Ms. Adams' license and registration status through Newton PD Dispatch who informed me both were suspended. I spoke with Ms. Adams via telephone. Ms. Adams stated she was traveling down the ramp to the second floor of the parking garage and came to stop at the stop sign. Ms. Adams stated she began making her turn onto the second floor when MV1 sped up to go around her. Ms. Adams stated the front driver side of her vehicle crashed into the rear passenger side of MV2. Ms. Adams was advised of her license and registration status and was mailed Massachusetts Uniform Citation T0115918 for Chapter 90, Section 23 (Operate MV with a Suspended License) and Chapter 90, Section 23 (Operate MV with a Suspended Registration).
