Cash-for-crash schemes are a form of insurance fraud where drivers stage collisions to get financial compensation. One man is then seen getting out of the vehicle and lying down on the road, pretending to be injured, while the other calls 999. Admiral Insurance received a claim from the 'cyclist' soon after via a letter, alleging damage to the bicycle and personal injury. The Insurance Fraud Enforcement Department (IFED) investigated the case and found the claims to be fraudulent and found misuse of emergency services. The blatant crime comes as police issued a warning to the public over new tactics being used by criminals amid a rise in cases of staged insurance crashes.
