Narrative:
On Monday 2/22/2021 at approx 0849hrs, while assigned to N491, I responded to 33 Austin St in Newton for a MVA hit and run. There I was met by the owner of MV1 who states that his car was parked in the Austin St lot while getting coffee at Starbucks. He states that a witness to the accident gave him their information. Witness statement: Schreiner states that she had just left Starbucks and heard a crash. When she looked into the Austin St parking lot she could see MV2 make contact with MV1. She said that MV2 then scrapped the side of MV1 with the front passenger side of the vehicle. When MV2 left the parking lot she said that she was able to read the MA plate of 1NTE29. Schreiner said that MV2 was white and looked like a Toyota Highlander operated by a white female w/ blonde hair in her 40's. It is unclear at this time who was operating MV2(MA# 1NTE29). Dracut PD was contacted about the registered owner and I was able to get a phone number. However, the number was to a business she hasn't worked at in five years. Traffic Bureau update (Officer Gaudet): On Monday, February 22, 2021 I was able to make contact with the registered owner of MV2, Ms. Melinda Russo (S29162725). Ms. Russo stated that she was operating her white 2019 Toyota Highlander (MA: 1NTE29) in the Austin Street municipal parking lot this morning. Ms. Russo stated she was backing out of a parking spot when she observed her passenger side mirror collapse in. Ms. Russo stated after she exited the parking spot she pulled her vehicle over and observed no damage to the passenger door mirror area. Ms. Russo stated she fixed her mirror and then left the area. Ms. Russo stated she did not think there would be damage to any other vehicle because she did not have damage on her vehicle. Ms. Russo was advised that if she believes she was involved in a crash, she should make every effort to contact the owner of the other vehicle. Ms. Russo was also advised she can contact the police department for assistance. Ms. Russo will be mailled Massachusetts Uniform Citation T1446762 for Newton City Ordinance Chapter 19, Section 75 (Fail to Use Care). Austin Street is a public way maintained by the City of Newton.

Narrative:
The operator of MV#1 stated he was travelling southbound on Walnut St making a right turn onto Beacon St when he went over the curb (Snow mound) and struck a utility pole. The operator of MV#1 stated he suffers from a neurological medical condition and typically walks with a folding walker. He was evaluated by Newton Paramedics and signed a patient refusal of treatment. While he was speaking to the Paramedics, it was apparent that he was unstable on his feet but was able to walk on his own will. His portable walker was located in the back seat of his vehicle. He appeared to be of sound mind. His daughter in-law picked him up and drove him home. MV#1 sustained damages to its passenger side front wheel area. MV#1 was towed by Tody's Towing. The utility pole (Boston Edison pole #31/107) that was struck is located on Walnut St southbound at the intersection of Beacon St westbound. The pole sustained minor damages to its base. Traffic Officer took pictures of the damaged pole and Boston Edison was notified. Based on the statements made to me and the health condition of the operator of MV#1, I believe his continued operation would constitute an immediate threat to the public safety. A request for immediate threat of license suspension/ revocation form was completed and emailed to the R.M.V.
