A gang of crooks caused a crash on a busy road to claim the insurance cash. The incident saw an innocent driver plough into the back of another car at 50mph.
The accident was part of a 'crash for cash' scam that was worth almost £50,000. It saw the fraudsters falsely claiming the insurance pay-out for the incident.
The unsuspecting driver caught up in the scam was left injured after the premediated crash on the A1 in Hertfordshire on May 22, 2016. Zahid Hairan, 31, from Edgware, north London, was jailed for 15 months after being found guilty by a jury at a trial in his absence after he fled the country to avoid prosecution.
