Man Caught Faking Car Accident to Claim Insurance Money

Finally, a man who intentionally threw himself at a vehicle in an attempt to claim insurance money has been caught.

This incident took place on a road in Guri, Gyeonggi Province, back in April.

The footage shows a man slowly approaching the rear of a reversing vehicle and then throwing his body against it before falling to the ground.

While it might look like a serious accident as he remains on the ground for a while, there was a twist to the story.

The case was initially reported as a standard traffic accident, but police determined that the scene looked overly unnatural.

The man's movements as he fell were excessively exaggerated, and he remained lying on the ground until the police arrived, despite not appearing to be seriously injured.

After reviewing nearby CCTV footage, it was revealed that the man had been loitering in the area for 10 minutes before the incident, attempting to intentionally collide with several other vehicles.

When police confronted him with this evidence, the man initially denied the allegations but eventually admitted that the accident was staged.

The police have referred the man to the prosecution on charges of violating the Special Act on the Prevention of Insurance Fraud.
