A group of people from Louisiana staged car wrecks in which a driver would intentionally collide with semitractor-trailer trucks in order to collect settlement money, authorities said.
The group scammed thousands of dollars from insurance companies, commercial carriers and trucking companies over the years, court documents show.
Now, a woman involved in the scheme faces up to five years in prison, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Eastern District of Louisiana.
