= Direction = Vehicle =Vehicle = Pedestrian and Lowell Avenue are both public ways maintained by the City of Newton. I observed a red Nissan Versa parked in the middle of Lowell Avenue at Washington Street with heavy front end damage.

There was contact damage in the area of the front right bumper, fender, and hood. The vehicles bumper had been removed from the roadway by the Newton Fire Department prior to my arrival and stored in the back seat of the vehicle. I performed a field test of the vehicles directionals, headlights, steering, and brake system. They all appeared to be in proper working order. The registration for the vehicle is active. The vehicles position was marked in the roadway. I observed a silver BMW motorcycle resting on its side on the ground on Washington Street facing Westbound 40 4 4 Placard Material digit # Material Name Material 4 digit # Release code MICHAEL R GAUDET NEWTON POLICE DEPARTM 07/03/07 CDP. 4. 00

The motorcycle also had damage from an apparent skid on its right side after it fell to the roadway. I was informed by the officers on scene that the motorcycle had not been moved from its final rest location. There was debris surrounding the motorcycle on the roadway and roadside, including its license plate and rear storage compartment. The motorcycles position on the roadway was marked. As part of the investigation, measurements were taken at the accident scene by myself and Sgt. Babcock.

MV travelled 78ft inch on Washington Street (Westbound) from the original point of impact before a secondary collision with a fixed street light pole. The distance for MV from the point of impact to final rest is 79ft in. I observed skid marks (front and rear tire) and fresh scrapes in the roadway from MV. As a result of the MV crashing into the fixed light pole, the impact caused the operator to become separated from MV. The operator impacted the fixed pedestrian signal on the light pole and travelled 33ft 5in until he came to a final rest on Washington Street (Westbound) along the curb area of a crosswalk. Both vehicles were removed from the roadway by Todys towing. Pictures of both vehicles, along with pictures from the scene were taken and submitted to the IT Bureau.
