'Crash for cash' fraudster caught on dash cam footage
It's sad to see the lengths that people go to for money - which includes putting their own lives at risk!
If this is not the most bizarre footage captured by a dash cam, then I don't know what is?!

There has been a recent surge on social media showing videos of 'crash for cash' schemes which see people trying to intentionally injure themselves in the hopes of claiming some sort of compensation.
This 33-year-old driver from the UK said that he saw a man and a woman run across the road and didn't think too much of it. It was only when he saw the woman running towards his car that he was aware of what was going on. The woman can be seen throwing herself onto the bonnet of the car and even 'playing dead' on the ground.

'Play dead', they said. 'No one will know', they said. Unfortunately for this woman, everything was captured on camera and the footage is cringe-worthy, to say the least.
