On January 1, 2019 at approximately 02:18 hours I, Officer Guarino, responded to 78 Vine St. for a hit and run. I spoke to the operator of MV1, who told me that he was driving Eastbound on Vine St, he turned on his left directional and began to pull into his driveway at 78 Vine St. The operator of MV 2 attempted to pass MV 1 on the left hand side crashing into MV1. MV2 put the vehicle in reverse and left the scene. The operator of MV1 said that the front bumper of MV2 had fallen off in the collision with MA License plate 4KZ917 still attached. The owner of that vehicle lives in Boston, so Boston Police were notified. I attempted to make contact with the owner of MV 2 with negative results. Update January 1, 2019 16:15 hours: I was able to contact the owner of MV2, who admitted that she was the operator of the vehicle and that she was in the vehicle alone. The operator of MV2 said that the operator of MV1 was driving very slow and stopped in the right lane so she attempted to pass the vehicle. MV1 began turning and MV2 struck MV1. The operator of MV 1 said that she was nervous and left the scene because her phone died and attempted to contact the Newton Police in the morning. I am mailing citation T1441275 to Cecelia Spangenberg for MGL90/24C, leaving the scene of property damage. Photographs of the bumper have been submitted to IT to be attached to this report. The license plate was logged into evidence and placed into property and evidence locket #8.

On 01/03/19 at 07:26 hours, I responded to a two car motor vehicle accident at Boylston Street and Ellis Street with one reported minor injury (headache). Operator of MV # 1 states she was exiting the Boylston Street (RT 9EB) off ramp at Ellis Street when she states that she came to a stop for the stop sign. She then inched out and thought it was clear to proceed straight through and struck MV # 2 on both passenger side doors. Operator also stated that she did not think traffic would be allowed to come from the left of her. She was advised that there is a sign below the stop sign that states that the oncoming traffic does not stop. Operator was issued MA Uniform Citation T1441046 for Ch. 89/9 Stop Sign Violation. MV # 1 sustained front end damage to the entire front but was still driveable and the operator reported no injuries. Operator of MV # 2 states she was operating straight through the Boylston Street overpass (SB) on to Ellis Street when she states that MV # 1 never stopped for the stop sign. MV # 1 then proceeded out and struck her vehicle on the passenger side. MV # 2 sustained moderate damage to both passenger side doors and was towed by Tody's towing. The operator complained of a headache but signed a patient refusal with Cataldo Ambulance One.

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 1/5/19 at 1210hrs I was dispatched to the Pelham St Municipal Lot (public way inviting access maintained by the City of Newton) behind CVS for a report of an MVA involving several vehicles. On arrival, I observed Mv#1 MA Reg 5TWS10 with heavy front end damage wedged in between two other vehicles parked in marked spaces. #1 operator, in the driver's seat, was being evaluated by Medics. #1 was identified as Mary Jane Hymanwegscheider (10/14/38). I first made contact with a witness identified as Sharon Corliss. Ms Corliss stated she was sitting in her parked vehicle and observed Mv#1 backing out of the end spot next to CVS. She explained once #1 had came to a stop from backing, #1 then pulled forward, drove over a curb island and continued driving straight into the two parked vehicles. Ms Corliss stated it appeared #1 was travelling about 5mph preceeding the crash. After the medics intial evaluation of Ms Hymanwegscheider, I was able to ask her what happened? She stated she backed out of her space, hit the curb going forward and then put her foot on the gas instead of the brake before the collision. She was deliberate when speaking and appeared confused. She reported to medics she had no medical history and was not using any medications including allergy medication as well. She reported she did not hit her head after the collision. She was then transported to NWH for further evaluation after medics discovered her blood/sugar readings were very low. I advised Ms Hymanwegscheider her vehicle had heavy damage and was being towed by Tody's and to expect paperwork at the conclusion of the crash investigation. It appeared #1 struck Mv#2 first on its driver's side rear before striking Mv#3 parked next to it on the passenger side rear. #1 wedged itself between #2 and #3, #3 was then pushed to the left into the passenger side of Mv#4. #2 and #3 sustained heavy rear end damage. #4 sustained light damage. #1 towed by Tody's with heavy front end damage. #2 arranged for her own tow through her insurance company. A note was left on #3, and #4 was able to be driven from the scene. Ms Hymanwegscheider is showing no MV infraction/no accident history. Based on the totality of all information received as a result of this investigation, I will be issuing a citation (#T0340410) to Ms Hymanwegscheider for Ch90/Sec24, Negligent Operation.

Veh #1 was stopped on Needham St. at Columbia Ave red light, when veh #2 hit her from behind. Operator of veh #1 complained she hit her head on the back rest and wrist on steering wheel. She was evaluated by Amb #1 but signed a patient refusal and declined to go to the hospital. Minor damage to rear of veh #1.

On Sunday January 6, 2019 at approximately 1747hrs, I responded to the intersection of Pleasant Street and Centre Street for a report of a city motor vehicle crash. Upon arrival I located all vehicles pulled off on Pleasant Street about 50 feet from the Centre Street intersection. The City vehicle involved was Newton Police Cruiser N 496 ("MV #2") and it was driven by Officer S. Siegal. Siegal reported that he was directly behind MV #1 and observed the vehicle make a left turn onto Pleasant Street which was against the one way sign. Officer Siegal reports upon seeing this illegal turn he immediately turned his emergency lights and was trying to make a motor vehicle stop. The vehicle immediately stopped and while trying to back up and turn around, the vehicle backed into his cruiser. Officer Siegal reported that the vehicle was backing at just a few miles per hour. MV #1 was MA Reg. 3ZN523 a 2004 Nissan Sentra. This vehicle was operated by Huihui Tang. Tang reported that she was trying to go to CVS at that intersection when she turned onto Pleasant Street. Tang reported when the emergency lights were activated she tried to turn around and made minor contact with the police cruiser. During our conversation there was a bit of a language barrier and Tang appeared confused on why we needed to do a report. There was no injuries or any damage to any vehicle. Centre Street and Pleasant Street are Public ways in the City of Newton. Officer Siegal issued Tang MA Uniform Citation T0646880 for violating 19/85 for operating the wrong way. This citation was mailed to Tang. The initial citation issued on scene was later voided due to an address error. Officer Siegal also took pictures of both vehicles. Tang was advised on the process of what to do following a crash and reported she understood.

Michelle Lee was operating vehicle #2 N/B on Bullough Pk at Mill St. Lee states that she stopped at the stop sign and then attempted to take a left turn onto Mill St. At that time Lee states that vehicle #1 struck her on the left side. Luis Aguilar was operating vehicle #1 E/B on Mill St. Aguilar states that vehicle #2 pulled out in front of him as he was driving straight. A check with the RMV revealed that Aguilars license is supnded. Aguilar was issued citation # T1272109 Ch. 90 Sec 23 Operating after suspension. No injures both vehicles towed.

MV1 was traveling southbound on Walnut St when the operator, Saptarshi Ganguly, stated that he began to feel fatigued, believed he blacked out and then woke up after impact with MV2. Mr. Ganguly stated that he takes Atenolol for vasovagal syncope. I know this to be a condition that makes individuals feel like they are going to faint. He stated he was diagnosed with the disorder about 10 years ago. MV1 crossed over the double yellow lines on Walnut St and collided head-on with MV2 who was traveling northbound on Walnut St. Two witnesses (Kyle Fieleke and Edward Aybar) at the scene corroborated the story and said that MV1, in a 2015 BMW X535I, MA Reg: 668BG5 veered into the opposite lane and hit MV2 head-on, a 2018 Tesla Model3, MA Reg: EV585N. MV1 operator, Saptarshi Ganguly, was issued MA Uniform Citation T1440468 for 89/4a for Marked Lane Violation. A Request for Medical Evaluation form was filled out for Saptarshi Ganguly and faxed to the MA RMV at 857-368-0018 as I am unable to determine his driving ability. Both operators were transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital to be evaluated. Both vehicles had extensive front end damage and were towed by Tody's towing.

On Saturday, January 12th 2019, at approximately 4:12pm, I, Officer Brooks, responded to a single vehicle accident in the area of Cherry street and Derby street, both of which are public ways in the city of Newton. Upon arrival in the area I observed the fire department off with MV1(MA REG 9PAK20), in front of 171 Cherry street. The vehicle had a fire hydrant lodged under the front axle, and front end damage. The fire department was attempting to wake the operator who was unresponsive. The fire department ended up administering 2 doses of Narcan to the operator before he became responsive. The operator was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital by Cataldo for further evaluation. Based on the accident scene, it appears the operator was traveling southbound on Cherry street, crossed over the center line into oncoming traffic, striking the fire hydrant in front of 154 Cherry street, and then crossed back over into the correct lane of traffic before coming to rest in front of 171 Cherry street. The vehicle was towed by Tody's towing, and an inventory form was filled out and filed. The operator was mailed MA Uniform Citations T0648078 and T0648079 charging him with MGL 89/4A Marked Lanes violation, 90/24 OUI Drugs, 90/24(2)(A) Operating to Endanger/Negligent operation, 90/11 No License in Possession, and 90/11 No Registration in Possession. Officer Donahue took pictures of the fire hydrant and crash scene, which have been submitted to the IT Bureau. The fire department was made aware of the broken hydrant.

On the above date/time I responded to Lexington Street / Freeman Street for a two motor vehicle crash with air bag deployment. Upon arrival on scene I checked all parties for injuries. Operator of vehicle one Ms. Farnese complained of head / neck injuries and Fire and Medics responded on scene. All parties in vehicle two did not have any injuries. I spoke with the operator of vehicle one Ms. Farnese in the ambulance she stated she was slowing traveling south on Lexington Street at the intersection of Freeman Street due to the traffic signal for Lexington Street was yellow. She stated as she was slowing she felt a heavy impact from in the rear by vehicle two. I spoke to the operator of two Ms. Heimbrock, she stated she is a pastor for the Salvation Army in New York and she was transporting two children Shamah Lapaix d.o.b. 4-18-14 and Grace Lapaix d.o.b. 1-10-11 to a Christian school in Wayland. She stated that she is staying with the children at 65 Falmouth Road Newton MA with the childrens grandmother due to the fact the parents are in New York doing a continuing education program until Friday January 18, 2019. She stated she is not familiar with the area, she was traveling south on Lexington Street approaching Freeman Street when she glanced at the map on her cell phone. She stated she did not observe the color of the traffic signal and did not observe the rear brake lights in vehicle one. All parties were evaluated in vehilce two by medics with no injury. I spoke with the childrens mother Sarah Lapaix 1-203-685-2809 who confirmed Ms. Heimbrock's statement about the care of the children. I did observe an expired inspection sticker as of 12/18 on vehicle one. Therefore due to operator of vehicle two's statement I checked the rear brake lights. When the brake pedal was pressed the left brake light and top(3rd) brake light was operational but the right rear brake light was not operational. Tody's towing arrived on scene and towed both vehicles top their lot. Ms. Heimbrock made arrangements for transport of herself and the children. Ms. Farnese was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital for non life threatening injuries. I advised all parties of the process and gave them each others information. I checked the traffic signals in the intersection and they were fully functional. Therefore with all the above mentioned I am issuing citations to both parties Operator of vehicle one citation # T1440538 for Chapter 90 Section 20 EXPIRED INSPECTION STICKER $ 55.00 Operator of vehicle two citation # T1440539 for City Ordinance 19-75 FAILURE TO USE CARE IN STOPPING $ 20.00 Both citations were filled out after investigation and will be mailed to their license address.

MA commercial reg M94754 (vehicle #1), a City of Newton pickup/sander truck, was located crashed over the curb in front of 1970 Beacon St. The vehicle was unoccupied, had the keys in the ignition, and was reported stolen just a few minutes prior to discovery. The reporting party of the stolen truck and uninvolved occupant is identified as City DPW worker George Sementelli. The witness/passerby who discovered the collision is also a DPW worker, identified as Donny Brandt. Pursuant to an investigation outlined in incident #19002213, the operator at the time of the crash was determined to be Michael Carter. It is believed that Carter stole the vehicle from 295 Auburn St, fled the area, and ultimately crashed in front of 1970 Beacon St. Corroborating facts outlined in the incident report put Carter as the operator. The vehicle itself was located partially on the sidewalk and partially on the road, therefore Carter is being cited with MGL 89/4A - Marked Lanes Violation (T1268423). Due to the fact it is believed that Carter fled the scene after the crash, MGL 90/24/C - Leaving the Scene of Property Damage was added as well as MGL 90/23/D Operating After a Suspended LIcense, and MGL 90/24/O - Reckless Operation of a Motor Vehicle. The crash occurred during busy weekday commuting about 0.7 miles from Angier Elementary School. The last 3 charges mentioned have been listed on a second citation (T1268422). Officer Brooks also issued T0648082 for OUI Drugs MGL 90/24/G. See the incident report for details about this charge. In total, there are (3) citations issued to Carter. The vehicle sustained heavy front end damage. It should be noted that the utility pole a couple of houses down from the crash site (Beacon/Varick Rd, pole #212) sustained fresh, minor superficial damage, consistent with the vehicle crashing into it before verring onto the sidewalk. Pictures have been taken and submitted to the IT bureau. Tody's responded and towed the vehicle to the police garage for processing due to the pending other criminal charges involved in this accident/incident. Michael Carter was subsequently placed under arrest and his citations have been placed into his property. Carter suffered a hand injury due to the crash an was transported to NWH Hospital for an evaluation after he was booked.

The operator of MV#1 stated that she was waiting to exit NWH at the east exit/entrance. When her light turned green she proceeded to enter Washington St and her MV was struck by MV#2, who was traveling south on Washington St. The operator of MV#2 stated that she was traveling south on Washington St approaching NWH and had a green light to proceed thru the intersection at the east exit/entrance. An independent witness stated that she was in a MV directly behind MV#1 at the east exit when she observed their traffic light turn green and both her and MV#1 proceeded into the intersection. The witness then observed MV#2 traveling south on Washington St enter the intersection crashing into MV#1 while their light was still green. Operator #2 cited for a red light violation.

On 1/19/19 I responded to 25 Normandy Rd for a report of a past hit and run. I spoke with the Operator of MV#1 who stated the accident had taken place in front of Tom's Pizza, 423 Lexington St, at approximately 1830 hrs. Operator of MV#1 stated she parked her vehicle in a parking spot directly in front of the restaurant and went inside. When she returned approximately 5 minutes later she realized her vehicle had been rear ended. Two witnesses provided her with information about the accident and the plate number. (See witness narratives.) MV#1 suffered moderate damage to the rear and was driven from the scene. Waltham PD responded to the address listed for MV#2 and were not able to locate the vehicle. At approximately 2000 hrs, I was contacted at the police station by the owner of MV#2's wife. After further investigation (see incident report #19002425) it was determined that the operator of MV#2 at the time of the accident was the vehicle owner's brother. I spoke with Operator of MV#2 on the phone and he stated that the road was icy and slippery due to snow and he crashed into the back of MV#1. He stated he was nervous and thought he had only hit the sidewalk curb. Operator of MV#2 was issued citation T1440626 by mail for 90/24C Leaving the Scene of Property Damage, 90/10A Unlicensed Operation and 90/24 Use of MV Without Authority. He stated the vehicle suffered minor damage to the front.

On 01/22/19 I responded to a three vehicle crash on Needham St. in front on #241- Marshalls Plaza. The operator of veh #1 stated she was driving due West on Needham St. when she looked right at a car waiting to pull out of the parking lot. When she looked back to Needham St., the traffic was stopped and she hit her brakes and snow slid covered her windshield. Operator of veh #1 never saw the impact, but veh #1 struck stopped veh #2 which was pushed into stopped veh #3. Moderate damage to veh #1 and 2 but no damage at all to veh #3. Operator of veh #2 said she was going "2-3 MPH " when she was pushed into veh #3. Operator of veh #3 claimed she was dizzy from the accident and signed a patient refusal from Ambulance #1. Engine #7 was also on scene assisting. Operator of veh #1 was cited in hand Mass citation #T1441211 for Ch 90/ Sec 13- failure to remove snow from vehicle . All vehicles were driven away from the scene.

The OP. of MV#1 states while travelling westbound on Commonwealth Ave., MV#2 suddenly came out of the side and they collided together. The OP. of MV#2 states he was on Temple Street waiting to cross Commonwealth Ave to continue on Temple Street. He did not see any oncoming vehicles and drove forward, but collided with MV#1. The OP. of MV#2 only had an El Salvador drivers license that expired in 2009. He states he has lived in the U.S. for a long time and is in the process of getting his legal status from marrying a U.S. citizen. Commonwealth Ave and Temple Street are both public ways in the City of Newton.

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 01/26/19 at 09:58 hours, I responded to a two car motor vehicle accident at Chestnut and Elliot Streets with no reported injuries. Both streets are public ways and maintained by the City of Newton. Operator of M/V # 1 (Quinn) states that she was stopped at the intersection of the above mentioned intersection going (EB) on Elliot Street. Once she received the green light signal she proceeded straight through and was struck by M/V # 2 on her passenger side. The vehicle sustained heavy damage to the passenger side front quarter panel area and it was towed by Tody's towing. Operator of M/V # 2 (Sanaguaray) states that he was operating straight ahead (NB) on Chestnut Street. He states that he thought the signal light was yellow when he proceeded through and does not recall what happened next. The vehicle sustained heavy front end damage and it was towed by Tody's towing. There were two witnesses to the accident. The first one, Karen Cherson, stated that she was traveling behind M/V # 2 when she observed him speeding and run through the red light striking M/V # 1. She said that the light was red by at least two seconds when M/V # 2 went through it. The second witness, John Quackenbush, states he was operating behind M/V # 1 when he observed their travel lane receive the green light signal. M/V # 1 then attempted to proceed through the intersection when it was struck on the passenger side by M/V # 2. Based on the two witness statements, it appears that Sanaguaray (M/V # 2) proceeded straight through the above mentioned intersection against the red light signal and struck M/V # 1. Sanaguaray was also operating a motor vehicle without a license and was issued a MA Uniform Citation # T1441052 for Ch. 89/9 and Ch. 90/10/A. He further stated that he has resided in Massachusetts for five years and was assigned a number of #S19552221 through the MA RMV but it shows no license status.

Operator of MV1 (MA reg. 328XVF) states he was driving eastbound on Church Street and stopped at a red light. He realized he was in the left turn only lane and began turning into the right lane to proceed straight through the intersection. Operator of MV1 does not believe there was any contact between the two vehicles. Operator of MV2 (MA taxi reg. TA477C) stated he was in his lane when MV2 turned into him. I did not see any new damage to either vehicle. Operator of MV2 requested to be evaluated by paramedics. Cataldo paramedics responded and transported operator 2 to Saint Elizabeth's Hospital. MV2 was parked in Eaton Mac Kay Funeral Home parking lot and Veterans Taxi was notified. Veterans Taxi was unable to verify weather the damage on MV2 was new or old. They do not have a log of damage to the vehicle.

On Tuesday, January 29, 2019, while assigned to Traffic unit N525, I responded to the intersection of Cherry Street and Webster Street, Newton for a report of a motor vehicle accident involving a City of Newton owned vehicle. Cherry Street and Webster Street are both public ways maintained by the City of Newton. The weather at the time of the accident was overcast. The road surface was dry. The operator of MV1, John Bryant III (MA: S61611545), stated he was operating a City of Newton owned Volvo BL70 (MA MVN: M84236) Eastbound on Webster Street past Cherry Street. Bryant stated as he came to a stop in traffic, MV2 crashed into the rear of the vehicle he was operating. I observed minor damage to the rear bucket area of MV1. Bryant reported no injuries on scene and signed a patient refusal with Newton Medics. Bryant works for the Utilities Department with the DPW. The operator of MV2, Andrew Bell (NJ: B23900426706004), stated he was operating his 2013 Volkswagon (NJ: C54KKJ) Eastbound on Webster Street past Cherry Street. Bell stated he was following MV1 a little too close while they were traveling down Webster Street. Bell stated while traveling down Webster Street he looked down quickly but does not remember why, and when he looked up MV1 had come to a stop. Bell stated he could not avoid crashing into the rear of MV1. I observed significant damage to the front hood/windshield area of MV1. Bell was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital with a minor injury. Bell was provided with Massachusetts Uniform Citation T1272991 in hand for Newton City Ordinance Chapter 19 Section 71 (Following Too Closely) . Pictures were taken of both vehicles and submitted to the IT Bureau.

Operator of vehicle 1 stated she was traveling westbound on Dedham St when vehicle 2 pulled out of Rachel Rd in front of her suddenly causing her to strike the passenger side of vehicle 2. Vehicle 1 then bounced to the right and went head on with a tree. Operator of vehicle 2 stated he stopped for the stop sign on Rachel Rd and was waived out onto Dedham St by another vehicle that was in front of vehicle 1. He then stated he pulled onto Dedham St and was struck by vehicle 1. A witness, Regina King was traveling westbound on Dedham St two car lengths behind vehicle 1 and saw vehicle 2 pull quickly out of Rachel Rd cutting off vehicle 1. King states that she did not see any other vehicle wave vehicle 2 onto Dedham St. I issued the operator of vehicle 2 MA Uniform Citation #T1272285 for 89/9 failure to comply with a stop sign. Vehicle 1 was towed by todys and operator of vehicle 1 was seen by the medics and signed a patient refusal. Vehicle 2 did not require a tow and the operator reported no injuries.

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.

MV1 stated he was "driving to fast around the corner and hit the pole." MV1 actually hit a curb, took down a street light, went up on the island hitting another street light prior to hitting the curb. The second light he struck fell on MV2. MV1 sustained heavy front end damage and was removed from the scene by Tody's Towing. MV2 stated that MV1 "came flying across the intersection, crashed into 2 poles, one of which hit my car and he crashed over there." I then observed minor damage to MV2, however it did not require a tow. Both parties signed patient refusals with Cataldo Ambulance. Operator of MV1 was arrested and charged with the following: M.G.L. 90/24/J OUI Liquor M.G.L. 90//24/E Negligent Operation M.G.L. 89/4A Marked Lanes Photos of the scene were captured and turned over to the IT Bureau. Daigle Electric notified of the damaged lights.

MV1 was traveling SOUTH on Cherry St through the intersection of Webster St. MV2 was traveling WEST on Webster St through the same intersection. MV2 collided with MV1 inside of the Cherry St/Webster St intersection causing heavy front end damage to MV2 and damage to the rear drivers side wheel and fender. MV1 operator, Leah Wilson, stated that she had a green light and proceeded through the intersection when she was hit by MV2. MV2 operator, Caroline Steiner, and her 12yo daughter (passenger/front seat) Lorelai Steiner, stated that they were proceeding through the green light and observed MV1 going at a high rate of speed through the intersection. No injuries reported. Both vehicles towed by Tody's. MV1 operator, Leah Wilson was issued in hand MA Uniform Citation T1440472 for 89/9 - Red Light/Fail. On scene, I observed debris surrounding the four-way intersection and MV1 laid to rest past the intersection and facing the wrong direction in traffic. The damage to both vehicles was severe and MV1 had air bag deployment. The reporting party was an NPD auxiliary officer who had responded prior to my arrival because he heard the crash from the backyard of the police station which is approximately 350-400ft. Based on my training and experience, I believed Leah Wilson to be traveling through the intersection while failing to yield to the traffic control device.

On Sunday, February 3rd 2019, at approximately 11:45pm, I, Officer Brooks, responded to a single car MVA at the intersection of River street and Auburndale avenue. Upon arrival I observed MV1(MA REG 7TT558) in the travel lane with both tires broken free from the axle. I spoke with the operator who could not recall how the accident happened, or what was struck. After an investigation the operator was placed under arrest for 90/24 OUI Alcohol. Officer Boyle was able to assist in the accident investigation. It appears the operator had been traveling westbound on River street and struck a utility pole on the drivers side front tire. The vehicle continued to the intersection of River street and Auburndale avenue and struck a curb here on the passenger side tire. Both tires were broken free from the axles. The vehicle was towed by Tody's and an inventory form was filed. Eversource was notified about the pole.

Operator of MV1 was driving westbound on Beacon St in the area of 741 Beacon. Operator of MV1 stated his tire blew out and the car swerved into the side of MV2 and then the rear of MV3 which were both parked legally. Witness 1 stated she heard the crash but did not see the impact. She stated she heard the crashing noise first, and then heard a loud popping noise of the tire blowing out shortly after. Witness 1 identified Cesar Ramirez Rodriguez as the Operator of MV1. Operator of MV1 was uninjured, and the other two vehicles were unoccupied. Todys responded and towed MV1 and MV2. Operator of MV1 was issued, in hand, MA citation T1440439 for 90/23 Operating after suspension and 89/4A marked lanes violation. I was eventually able to locate the owners/drivers of the parked vehicles and they were given the report number. Beacon St is a public way in the City of Newton.

The operator of Vehicle #1 stated that his vehicle was struck from behind by Vehicle #2. Operator #2 then stated, "there is no damage", and left the area. Operator #1 then took down the registration of Vehicle #2, and notified the police. I observed significant fresh damage to the rear bumper of Vehicle #1. Vehicle #2 is registered to a Ms. Jessica Gavell. I was later able to learn that the vehicle was being operated by her cousin, a Mr. Michael Gavell. Mr. Gavell was issued a citation for a violation of M.G.L. Ch.90/24-Leaving the Scene of Property Damage, and Ch.90/23-Operating MV after suspension due to OUI. (See Incident#19005785). None of the parties involved complained of injury, when asked.

MV1 was coming down the Rte 9 West off ramp to Chestnut St. Operator was traveling too fast for the snowy road conditions and failed to stop for the stop sign at the bottom of the ramp. A snow storm had started 2 hours prior to the accident and road conditions were slippery. MV1 struck MV2 broadside who was traveling north on Chestnut St with the right of way. MV1 struck MV2 hard enough that MV2 was pushed across the lane and into MV3 that was stopped at the stop sign southbound. According to the operator of MV2, MV1 was traveling "way too fast for conditions" over 30mph. Operator MV1 was cited for 89/9 failed to stop for stop sign and 90/17 speeding too fast for road conditions. Operator was also cited on Citation T1272992 for 90/23 operating after suspended license. Boylston St and Chestnut St are public ways in the city of Newton.

Based on observations and statements made, the following occoured. M/V#1 was traveling north on chestnut st., following the flow of traffic, when M/V#2 pulled out of a parking lot and collided with the left rear of M/V#1. The operator of M/V#2 stated that she just didn't see M/V#1.

At approximately 0110HRs on Sunday February 17, 2019, I was dispatched to the area of Dedham St. and Spiers Rd. (both public ways in the City of Newton), for a report of a motor vehicle vs pole accident with injury, airbag deployment and entrapment. Upon arrival, I exited my cruiser with my medical bag and AED and went to assist the motorist involved in the crash. MV1 (MA Passenger: 255ZA9) was completely off the roadway and on the shoulder of the road (facing Eastbound) with its nose contacting the light pole ( Verizon Pole #:103/80), which was now broken and listing to the side. Attempts to open the doors were unsuccessful and I attempted to communicate with the operator through a partially broken driver's window frame which was bent. The operator was slumped forward with his hand cradling his head and he was unable to speak, but was breathing. Newton Fire arrived and attempted to gain access to the vehicle via several manual tools with no success and instead deployed the Jaws of Life which was successful. Newton Fire also made entry into the rear passenger compartment because we viewed a child's car seat and checked with negative results for any child in the vehicle. Once the operator was cut out of his seatbelt and safely out of MV1 and on board Newton Medic 1, I entered the ambulance where he was identified as Mark Topham. It should be noted that Topham was having difficulty answering basic questions such as his name, date of birth, today's date, Etc. At one point when he was asked what today's date was, he gave his birth date of February 21, 1983 and it took him several attempts to say his last name, I had to run him over the air with a partial name to ascertain who he is. Also of note, in my presence and that of Sgt. Devine, Topham informed the medics that he had been consuming alcoholic beverages prior to the crash. Upon viewing the scene, I noted that the roadway was lit and I did not observe any skid marks on the dry, ice-free payment, indicating that there was unlikely any braking or swerving to avoid the collision. I spoke to the reporting party, Lindsay Giardina, she stated that she was traveling on Dedham St. when she heard what she believed to be a motor vehicle crash. When she came upon said crash, she attempted to assist the operator, as she was an off duty firefighter. She was unable to gain access to the inside of the vehicle, but communicated to the operator in the same manor as I did. She stated that she was able to smell the odor of an alcoholic beverage emanating from the operator. Topham was transported to Beth Israel of Boston, where he was assigned patient record number 3109921. I attempted to speak with him at the hospital, but was unable to do so because of his current state; I noted several injuries on Topham, such as a bloody lip, a wound to his lower left side and a wound to his left leg. Due to Topham's statements onboard of Medic 1 and Lindsay Giardina's observations, I will be charging Topham with one count of violating MGL Ch.90 S. 24 K OUI Liquor 2nd Offence, one count of violating MGL Ch.90 S. 24 E Negligent Operation of a Motor Vehicle and one count of violating MGL Ch. 89 S. 4A Marked Lanes Violation via MA Criminal Citations which I placed in the mail. Additionally, I will be seeking a subpoena for Topham's blood work from the hospital. Note: The crash occurred on the Newton/Boston line, Newton dispatch's GPS indicated that the crash was in Newton. I took several pictures of the scene and have forwarded them to IT to be attached to this report. I completed and filled an NPD Motor Vehicle Tow Inventory Form and Officer Boudrot stood by for the tow.

The operator of Vehicle #1 stated that he stopped, prior to proceeding through the Stop Sign Southbound at Lewis St, and Newtonville Ave prior to colliding with the bicyclist. The bicyclist stated that he was travelling Westbound on Newtonville Ave prior to colliding with Vehicle #1. Vehicle #1 was cited for a violation of M.G.L. Ch.89/S.9-Stop Sign. It should be noted that the bicyclist was wearing a helmet, and a rear flasher, however wore no other bright, or reflective clothing. All parties declined medical attention. Pictures of the scene were taken by me, and placed in the IT box.

On Wednesday, February 27, 2019 while assigned to Traffic unit N525, I responded to the area of 843 Beacon Street, Newton for a report of a 2 car motor vehicle accident. Beacon Street is a public way maintained by the City of Newton. I spoke with the operator of MV1, Omer Chaudhry (NY: 122909834). Chaudhry stated he as operating his 2015 blue Mazda 3 (NY Reg: GVJ1096) Eastbound on Beacon Street towards Centre Street. Chaudhry stated he observed MV2 exiting a parking spot on his right. As MV2 attempted to merge into traffic it's front driver side crashed into the passenger side of his vehicle. I observed damage along the passenger side of Chaudhry's vehicle from the rear passenger tire to the front passenger bumper area. Chaudhry reported no injuries at this time. I spoke with the operator of MV2, Elizabeth Libert (S75526057). Libert stated she was attempting to pulled out of a marked parking spot (E) on Beacon Street when the front driver side of her 2017 gray Mercedes E400 (MA: 1YT269) crashed into the passenger side of MV1. I observed damage to the front driver side tire area of MV2. Libert reported no injuries at this time. Libert's vehicle was removed from the roadway by Tody's towing. Libert was cited with Massachusetts Uniform Citation T1269154 for Newton City Ordinance Chapter 19, Section 75 (Failure to Use Care).

On 3/1/19 while working N493, myself and N492 Officer Selig were sent to the area of 1354 Washington St for a motor vehicle accident with reported injuries. On arrival, I spoke to Matthew Digregorio DOB7/2/74 ( hereby referred to as operator #1) who was standing on the sidewalk next to MA reg 134TR9 (vehicle #1 ). Vehicle #1 had significant damage to the front and right quarter panels. It was straddled between the travel lanes and did not have the keys in the ignition. It was immediately apparent that operator #1 suffered an injury to his head, as there was a moderate amount of blood and small pieces of glass stuck in his forehead area. I observed operator #1 to be unsteady on his feet, have bloodshot eyes and slurred speech. I could detect a moderate odor of alchoholic beverage coming from operator #1 as I was approaching him, which was apparent from about an arms length away (it should be noted that medics were already en route to the scene at this time). Prior to the medics arrival, I asked operator #1 for a brief synopsis of what transpired. Operator #1 stated that he had just left Paddy's Pub and was driving westbound on Hunter St (which is approximately 1/8 mile from our location) when he collided head on with vehicle #2. Vehicle #2 was not immediately visible upon police arrival, however was pointed out as being located at the intersection of Hunter and Putnam St. I asked operator #1 where he was heading, as Hunter St is a back road not directly in the vicinity of Paddy's. Operator #1 could not answer the question and also remained silent when I asked him how much alcohol he had consumed this evening. At this time the medics arrived on scene. I asked operator #1 for the car keys to reliquish to the tow truck operator, which is standard operating practice. Operator #1 reached into his pocket and then provided me with the keys. Due to concern over operator #1's obvious head trauma, he was then transported to NWH to be evaluated while the investigation continued on scene. Two other parties approached myself and Officer Selig. One was the operator of vehicle #2, MA reg 1RD999. Operator #2 is identified as Luke Ferdinands DOB 5/11/80. The other party who approached is identified as Douglas Dasilva-Pimenta DOB 6/2/86 (Dasilva-Pimenta will now be referred to as operator #3). Operator #2 states that he was taking a right onto Hunter St from Putnam St, when he observed vehicle #1 on the wrong side of the road approaching him head on. Operator #2 states vehicle #1 then collided head on with him, took a right onto Putnam St, and continued onto the Washington St overpass near 1354 Washington St. Operator #3 states he was inside of #5 Hunter St when he heard a loud crash coming from outside. He looked out the window and saw vehicle #1 traveling at a high rate of speed on Hunter St towards Putnam St. Operator #3 observed damage to the right side of his parked vehicle (now referred to as vehicle #3) MA reg 7CAK80. He immediately got in his vehicle and proceeded to follow vehicle #1, which then crashed into vehicle #2 head on. Operator #1 did not stop until it was obvious that operator #3 was following close behind. This ultimately landed vehicle #1 at it's final location near 1354 Washington St. Vehicle #1 and vehicle #2 were not driveable and were towed to Tody's. It should be noted that there was a passenger in vehicle #2 at the time of the collision. Airbags were deployed and medics checked out both operator and passenger. Both declined transport. The passenger is identified as Elizabeth Ferdinands DOB 5/22/53.Ferdinands' version of events coincide with that of operator #2. Upon speaking with Officer Selig it was learned that operator #1 dropped his cell phone several times as he was holding it on scene. Both Officer Selig and operators #2 and #3 observed this. Operators #2 and #3 both expressed concern over the obvious odor of alcohol eminating from operator #1, and the fact that he was unsteady on his feet. I responded to NWH to follow up with operator #1 however he did not wish to speak further. He did express concern over the well being of all parties involved. Operator #1 was issued in hand the following citations: T1268426 - 90/24 OUI Alcohol, 90/24 Leaving the Scene (property damage, vehicle #2), and 90/24 Leaving the Scene (property damage, vehicle #3). T1268425 - 89/4a Marked Lanes violation. T1269216 - 90/24 Negligent Operation of a M/V (mailed after consultation with superiors) All streets mentioned are public ways in the City of Newton. 1354 Washington St will be the address used on this report and subsequent citations due to multiple locations being involved. Citations and paperwork have been placed in the prosecutor's mailbox. An immediate threat form has been filled out and faxed to Mass DOT. *Attention Police Prosecutor for blood work subpoena, if applicable*

MV#1 stated while traveling westbound on Commonwealth Ave he closed his eyes for a few moments causing his vehicle to veer to the right. MV#1 drove up on the curb and struck a overhanging street light. MV#1 sustained heavy front end damage as well as uprooting the overhanging street light.

On Monday, March 11, 2019 while assigned to Traffic unit N525, I responded to the area of Watertown Street and Adams Street, Newton for a report of a motor vehicle/pedestrian accident. The accident was reported to Newton Police Dispatch by Newton Police Officer Charles Guarino. Officer Guarino identified the pedestrian involved in the accident as Newton Police Officer James Selig. Watertown Street and Adams Street are both public ways maintained by the City of Newton. After completing my investigation, the operator of MV1, Colleen Butaney (S20012566) was issued Massachusetts Uniform Citation T1272995 for Chapter 90, Section 25 (Fail to Stop for a Police Officer) and Chapter 89, Section 4A (Marked Lanes Violation). Butaney was advised and the citation was placed in her property in Locker #4 in the NPD holding area prior to her release. Officer T. McCarthy completed and submitted a criminal application for Butaney for Chapter 265, Section 15b (Assault with a Dangerous Weapon, MV). Please refer to incident report #19009204 for statements from all parties involved. Photos were taken of the area/vehicle and submitted to the IT Bureau. The vehicle involved, (MA: 531PX6) was removed from the roadway by Tody's towing. Officer Marini completed a towed motor vehicle report form. Surveillance footage of the incident was recovered from a local business and was submitted to the IT Bureau/Support Services. A property and evidence form was completed and submitted to Officer Manouk.

Operator 1 was attempting to parallel park in a parking space in front of 1241 Centre St when she was sideswiped by MV2 who was attempting to pass her. No injuries reported.

NPD located the vehicle at the owners residence which had matching damage and paint transfer on the front passenger side. Multiple attempts were made to contact the owner with negative results, he will be mailed Mass Uniform Citation #T1440739 for leaving the scene ( property damage) and marked lane violation.

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 vehicle #1 stated he was travelling Westbound on Crafts St. and stated he became distracted by a noise coming from the left front wheel or axel. Operator #1 stated he took his eyes off the road and drifted to the right striking a utility pole. Operator # 1 had only a Guatemala ID card. Operator # 1 was cited for Unlicensed operation citation #T1268256.

MV1 was backing out of her parking spot in the parking lot at 916 Walnut St when she stopped to allow a pedestrian to cross in front of her vehicle. While she was waiting for the pedestrian to cross safely a vehicle backing out of the parking space across from hers backed into her vehicle and left the scene. Operator 1 was able to obtain a photo of the license plate. I then was able to contact operator 2 on the phone who stated she was at 916 Walnut St and "tapped" a vehicle when leaving and then left the scene. No injuries and both vehicle driven from the scene. MV1 sustained minor damage to the passenger side. Operator 2 states there is no damage to MV2. Operator 2 issued and mailed MA Uniform Citation T1442192 for leaving the scene property damage.

All operators state MV3 was stopped in traffic, with MV2 stopped in traffic behind it. Both vehicles were heading southbound on Centre St. MV1 failed to stop behind MV2, colliding with the rear of MV2. MV2 was sent forward from the impact and collided with MV3. No injuries were reported on scene and no tows were needed. On my arrival all parties had exchanged information. After further investigation it was determined the operator of MV2 was driving with a suspended license. I spoke to her via phone and she stated she thought it was cleared up. I advised her that I would be mailing a citation to her (Citation #T1441680) for operating after a suspended license. She was driven away from the scene by a neighbor (Michael Manna, S20209078).

Mv#1 operator was travelling through the intersection of Commonwealth Ave westerly at Centre St on a green light. The intersection was under construction. Ofc Coletti was working a detail in the middle of the intersection directing four way traffic, waving Comm Ave westerly traffic safely through. Mv#2 operator was stopped in the intersection on Centre St southerly waiting to proceed through. At that time, #2 nosed out into the intersection without being directed and #1 passenger side front sideswiped #2 driver's side front. No injuries. Both MVs appeared to sustain minor damage. #2 operator was unlicensed. #2 towed by Tody's.

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 owner of MV1 stated that he was working inside Mr. K's Discount Wine and Spirits when a witness came into the store and asked if he owned a white Toyota Camry parked outside and then explained that another car had backed into it and then left the scene. When he came out he observed a large dent in the passengers side rear bumper that was not there before. Officer Selig tracked down the owner of MA Registration 3EF576 at 20 Hale Street and the operator of MV2 admitted to being in the parking lot but denied striking MV1. It should be noted that while at Mr. Wendt's residence both Officer Selig and I observed MA reg 3EF576 parked in driveway of 20 Hale Street with damage to the left rear bumper consistent with how the witnesses stated MV2 struck MV1. Based on the 2 witness statements that express that the operator of the Nissan Pickup knew he struck another vehicle and still left the scene I issued the operator of MV2, Mr. Spencer Wendt, Massachusetts Uniform Citation T1443928, a criminal application to appear in Newton District Court for 90-24 Leaving the Scene of Property Damage. A copy of this report as a well as the criminal application were placed in the court prosecutors mailbox.

MV3 had minor rear end damage. The operator of MV1 was brought to Newton Wellesley Hospital by Cataldo medics. The operator of MV2 stated she was on Pamela Ct attempting to take a left onto Commonwealth Ave. There was heavy traffic headed westbound and a vehicle stopped to let MV2 go. As MV2 was taking a left onto Commonwealth Ave, MV1 was traveling westbound in the eastbound lane around traffic and struck MV2. MV2 then in turn struck MV3s rear end. The operator of MV3 stated that he wasn't sure what occurred because the accident was behind him. The operator of MV1 stated she was traveling westbound on Commonwealth Ave and was planning on taking a left into the Star Market parking lot which was approximately 250 feet down the street. She stated she thought there were two lanes in the westbound direction at that point in the roadway. MV2 then pulled out in front of her and they collided. Two witnesses who were traveling westbound in traffic a few vehicles behind MV3 both stated that MV1 drove erratically into the oncoming lane and around traffic heading westbound. One witness stated "the car was almost completely in the opposite lane" and the other witness agreed. A moment later they stated they heard the crash but did not see it. They also stated that she almost crashed into a car turning eastbound out of the Star Market exit prior to the accident. MV1 and MV2 were towed from the scene by Tody's.

On 05/04/19 at approximately 09:47 a citizen called in a vehicle that was parked on Elinor Rd near Woodcliff Rd with heavy damage. The anonymous caller stated the car had been parked there for at least 4 hours. Upon arrival Mass Reg #4FJ861 a 2004 Grey Honda Accord was spotted parked crooked in the road with its back bumper missing, bent drivers side rim and flat tire and large dent in the middle of the front bumper. Dispatch was able to get in touch with the vehicle owner Jaleh Jalili who stated her son Pouya Jalili was driving her car last night. While canvassing the neighborhood of Elinor Rd , Sgt. O'Connell was able to find a tire marks on a lawn and a downed "Sharp Bend" sign in front of #273 Dedham St. This crash site is approximately 1/4 mile away from where the parked car was found. I went to #273 Dedham St and witnessed fresh tire marks that went up on the curb onto the lawn of #273 Dedham St, over a vacant sign post hole and then a "Sharp Bend" sign that was half bent and then resting in the South brake down lane of Dedham St.. There was also a plastic black part of a car along with two (2) metal parts to the under side heat shield of an exhaust. The owner of #273 Dedham St was not home so I left a message on his door regarding this incident. Tody's was called and David showed up and towed the car from the scene. Officer Hagopian went to the residence of Pouya Jalili and spoke with him. Pouya told Officer Hagopian that he was involved in a spin out somewhere on Rt 9. in Wellesley and his bumper became detached. He then pulled into the CVS in Newton at #978 Boylston St where he pulled his bumper the rest of the way off. He then told Officer Hagopian that he continued down Rt 9 until he realized his car wouldn't make it any further and that's when he pulled off and parked on Elinor Rd. He then called a friend to pick him up and drive him home. On the way back to the station I stopped by #978 Boylston St with Officer Benes. He found a Grey rear bumper which is believed to belong to Pouya Jalili's car. I called David Donahue (Tow Driver) and asked that he look under the Honda to see if it had its heat shield. Donahue responded back that Mass Reg# 4FJ861 was missing its heat shield. I then drove to #93 Waltham St and spoke with Pouya Jalili with his mother Jaleh present. Pouya restated the same story he told Officer Hagopian and that he never struck anything in Newton nor was he drinking. Pouya said he might have been in a rush because he wanted to get home before his junior operator curfew. After finishing my interview with Pouya, I went to my cruiser and wrote Mass Criminal Citation #T1444231 for Ch 90/ Sec 24-Leaving the Scene of Property Damage (lawn and sign damage), Ch 90 / Sec 24-Operating to Endanger(putting the public at risk by driving up on the sidewalk) and Ch 89/ Sec 4a- Marked Lanes Violation (crossing Dedham St marked double yellow lines) and handed it to Pouya. I took pictures of the scene where the car was found, the crash site at #273 Dedham St and the bumper found at CVS and placed the disk in an envelope. The envelope was t.o.t. our I.T. Bureau for attachment to this report. Jaleh said her son was returning to Alabama tomorrow to finish high school and then he would be attending The University of Alabama in the Fall. I advised Jaleh about the Criminal Application process. As of today 05/04/19, Pouya has an active Massachusetts License and no B.O.P..Wellesley P.D. was notified of this incident in case they came across new damage on Rt 9.

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.

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.

On 06/08/2019 at 0150 hours I received a call from Sgt Lee in regard to a head on motor vehicle crash with entrapment that had occurred on Center St at the four way intersection with Cabot St and Sergeant St. Upon my arrival at the crash scene I was advised by Sgt Lee that all occupants of the involved vehicles had been transported to hospitals for treatment. I made the following observations of the crash scene , Center St is a two lane public way in the city of Newton that runs north to south. I observed a city of Newton contracted Cataldo ambulance stopped in the south bound lane of Center St at Cabot St. The ambulance was MA AMN registration AMB 370 a 2017 Ford Econo Line that had heavy damage to the front end and driver's side fender. I observed that the front tire of the ambulance was snapped off and was pushed back towards the driver's side door. I further observed that both of the front and side air bags of the ambulance were deployed. The front of the ambulance's final point of rest was 8'8" from a fixed overhead light pole on the northeast corner of Center St at Cabot St. The ambulance's front passenger side tire was 4'3" front the curb on the Cabot St side. The ambulance's rear passenger side tire was 2'3" from the Cabot St side curb. The ambulance's rear driver side tire was 5'1" from the double yellow line on Center St. The ambulance's front driver side tire was 6'3"from the Center St double yellow line.

I observed a 2011 Mazda 3 with MA PAN registration 6KJ783 facing south bound in the north bound lane. The Mazda had heavy damage to it's front end, and I observed that it's front tires had snapped off. The Mazda's roof had been removed by Newton Fire to extract the occupant.

The Mazda's rear passenger side tire was 1'2" from the Center St double yellow line. The Mazda's front driver's side tire was on the curb on the Sergeant St side of Center St. There were no skid marks from the Mazda which indicates that no braking occurred. At the time of the crash, the Cataldo Ambulance was being operated by Paramedic Corey Bohan and Paramedic Tom White was in the front passenger seat. Bohan stated that he was operating his vehicle southbound on Center St towards Cabot St after clearing a medical call. There were no patients in the ambulance at the time of the crash, and Bohan estimated he was travelling 25 MPH . Bohan stated within less than two seconds he observed a vehicle traveling towards him northbound on Center St in the southbound lane and estimated it's speed to be approximately 80 to 100 MPH.Bohan stated he was able to slow to a near stop and had moved his vehicle towards the right shoulder on Center St before the Mazda struck his vehicle head on. Bohan stated that after forcing his way out of the driver's seat of his vehicle, he rendered medical aid to the operator and only occupant of the Mazda, Jessica Pondish. Bohan stated that Pondish speech was slurred and he detected an odor of an alcoholic beverage emanating from her breath and person. Bohan was later transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital for evaluation. The passenger in the ambulance, Tom White stated to officers that he was working on the ambulance's laptop computer and did not see anything leading up to the impact from the crash. White stated that he was able to force himself free of the passenger side of the ambulance, and rendered medical aid to Pondish. White stated that Pondish was " in and out of it " and did not appear coherent.White stated that he asked Pondish if she had consumed any alcoholic beverage and she nodded in the affirmative. White Stated that he was unsure if Pondish understood his questions. White stated that he did not detect any odor of an alcohol beverage emanating from Pondish's breath or person. White was transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital for evaluation. Pondish was freed from her vehicle after approximately 22 minutes by Newton Fire Department units by utilizing special extraction tools. Pondish was transported by Newton Medic Unit Two to the Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston for treatment. From 06/08/2019 to 06/10/2019 Pondish had two surgeries and was unable to speak due to her condition. On 06/10/2019 myself and Officer Gaudet were able to speak with Pondish in her hospital ICU room at the Brigham and Women's Hospital. Pondish's parents Lorena and John Pondish were present while we spoke with her. Officer Gaudet asked Pondish about the events that led up to the crash. Pondish stated that on 06/07/2019 she was at a friend's residence in Norton, MA. Pondish stated that while at her friend's residence she consumed a bottle and a half of Riesling wine. After Pondish's admission myself and Officer Gaudet stopped our conversation with her. I read Pondish her rights directly from a Miranda card and explained them in full before allowing her to continue speaking with myself and Officer Gaudet about the events of that led to the crash. Pondish stated that she understood her rights. Officer Gaudet asked Pondish if she had consumed any alcoholic beverages prior to driving home to her residence in Newton.
