Owner of MV1 said she was standing in front of her house, 135 Randlett Park when she heard a loud bang. Owner of MV1 saw a landscaping company truck and trailer speeding away from her car. Owner of MV1 noted that there was a vehicle parked directly across the street making the street narrow but said trucks have been going up and down the street all day without any issues. Owner of MV1 said she could not make out the lettering on the truck but got the license plate which is 459567. Owner of MV1 said she's certain that this was the license plate but there is a chance she missed a number. I ran the license plate and it comes back cancelled to a 1988 American Command Pick Up truck and there is no contact information for the owner of the vehicle. It shows that the registration has been expired since 12/31/1989. Owner of MV1 showed me the damage that was done to the vehicle which was a flat tire on the rear direr side. Owner of MV1 made arrangements for AAA to come and take care of the vehicle. I provided Owner of MV1 with this accident report number.

Owner of MV1 emailed me the picture and I forwarded the picture to IT to be attached to this report. It should be noted you can not make out the lettering of the company in the photo.

On Sunday, May 22nd 2022, at approximately 17:41, I, Sgt. Roche, was dispatched to a two car MVA, involving Newton cruiser 504. Upon arrival, I spoke with the operator of vehicle 1, who stated that he was driving northbound on Walnut St, when vehicle 2 suddenly slammed on the brakes. He tried to slam on the brakes, and turn out of the way. He ended up striking the back of vehicle 2. He exited the vehicle apologized for bumping her, and asked if she was injured. The operator of vehicle 2 stated that a group of geese were crossing the street, and she had to suddenly stop to avoid hitting them. She stated that we needed to understand that the geese cross the street in this area, and that turkeys cross the street in a certain area of Beacon St. She wanted us to be more careful in these particular areas, and that we should know that these are the specific areas that these animals cross. I advised her that the Officers in the City of Newton are always very careful while driving, and that today was an accident that occurred. I asked her to supply her license, and registration. She said she was not comfortable doing that, and that she did not trust police, and that "it was not going to go in her favor." I advised her that I am on scene to take statements and facts from both parties, and that all of it would be included in the report. At this point she handed me the license and registration. Vehicle 2 had a small dent to the center rear bumper. Vehicle 1 had minor damage to the front push bar. Both vehicles were able to drive away from the scene. No injuries occurred due to the accident.
