staged accidents
Deliberate fraudulent crashes
Staged accidents are collisions or mishaps deliberately orchestrated to appear genuine, typically for insurance fraud.

The scheme often involves multiple conspirators—drivers, passengers claiming whiplash, corrupt medical providers documenting phantom injuries.
