423	1900000429	2019-04-27T18:39	2019-04-27	18:39	COMMONWEALTH AVE & LOWELL AVE	On 04/27/2019, while assigned to N494, I, Officer Conary, responded to Commonwealth Ave at Lowell Ave for a MVA. Upon arrival, I observed two sedans in the middle of Commonwealth, facing opposite directions. I told both operators to pull to the side of the road. Operator of MV1 stated that he was traveling Southbound on Lowell Ave and took a left turn onto Commonwealth Ave going Eastbound. When he took the turn, he said he took it too sharp and got distracted with a lip balm in his car. He looked down because it fell on the side of the driver's side door. When he looked down he entered the Westbound lane of traffic and hit MV2. Operator of MV2 stated that she was traveling Westbound on Commonwealth Ave when she saw MV1 swerving into her lane. She attempted to avoid MV2 hitting her, but MV1 hit her head on. Both operators were offered and declined medical attention. Both vehicles were driven from scene. No further incident to report.
