New York car insurance fraudsters crash into driver on Queens Beltway Parkway in chaotic footage

Chaotic dashcam video captured the moment suspected insurance fraudsters crashed into a motorist and apparently faked their injuries before noticing a dashcam on Belt Parkway in Queens.

Ashpia Natasha was driving on the three-lane parkway at 11 a.m. Wednesday when a silver Honda Accord merged from the center lane to the left, cutting her off, before the erratic driver slammed on its brakes, according to a video of the accident published on Tik Tok.

Natasha’s quick reaction prevented her from crashing into the Honda.

The unpredictable operator activates the hazards before stomping on the accelerator and causing the car to hit Natasha’s front bumper.

“Oh my God, what is he doing,” Natasha screamed.

“I just had an accident, I don’t know what’s happening,” Natasha told her husband through the car speaker. “This guy just turned on me, what’s going on.”

Natasha claims two rear passengers used a “tarp” to cover the rear windshield so the driver could change seats with a female passenger.

Four occupants got out of the Honda apparently acting as if they were injured while inspecting the damage to the bumper.

“I believe the intention was to say that I hit their car for the purpose of insurance fraud,” Natasha said.

Attempted Insurance Fraud in Queens, NY 10/16/2024 PART 1 I was driving in the left lane of the Belt Parkway eastbound toward the Southern State Parkway. The silver Honda (LBB 8917) was in the middle lane, and they cut me off and slammed on the brakes to a complete stop hoping I would hit them. I did not hit their car and because of that they reversed my car into a collision and acted like they were injured getting out of their vehicle. I believe the intention was to say that I hit their car for the purpose of insurance fraud. They had a tarp covering the back windshield that fell off once they hit my car. You can see the driver is a man wearing a hat and you can see him move to the passenger seat as well as the movement of the car before anyone gets out. The first three passengers get out of the car pretending to be injured, while the fourth passenger who was driving slides out of the passenger seat and gets into a second vehicle. This second vehicle was a red KIA SUV (KJH 3340) which followed me from behind and kept a certain distance so as not to hit me. The red KIA drove around and picked up the driver to flee. The behavior of the other three people changed once one of them noticed the dashcam. They only got out of the car with their phones, ready to record the damage to both cars. They were quick to ask for my insurance and quickly left after the exchange. I called the police at the time of the incident and reported it as an accident. The police told me they wouldn’t have any more accidents if no one was hurt and that they were willing to exchange information. I didn’t realize at the time that the driver had changed cars and left in another car or that it was a set up because I was driving alone and it all happened so quickly. #queensny #car #caraccident #exposed #newyork #brooklynny @nbcnews @abcnews @nypd @geico @allstate @pix11ny

A passenger, who exited the driver’s door, had her phone out, appearing to record both vehicles.

A red Kia, which had been following Natasha, approached the side of the accident and picked up the suspected driver before driving off.

Natasha remembers that the behavior of the three other passengers changed after spotting her dash cam.

“They just got out of the car with their phones, ready to record the damage to both cars. They were quick to ask for my insurance and quickly left after the exchange.

The passenger spoke with Natasha and explained that his wife was driving and did not speak English.

“They were very quick to exchange my license and my insurance and my registration and everything, so I didn’t think anything of it,” she said in a follow-up video.

Natasha had asked the remaining passengers if they could wait for her husband to arrive, but they said they had to leave “right away to pick up their baby.”

When a tow truck came to check on Natasha’s car, the other passengers took the opportunity to get back into theirs and drive away.

“I’m not really sure if they targeted me because of my car or if they saw that I was driving alone,” Natasha said. “They didn’t really follow me for a long time. It seemed like everything happened very quickly. It really seemed like this had been planned for a while. It’s definitely not their first time.

Frustrated driver says she only noticed the driver change or it was a ‘set-up’ after she rewatched the video while driving alone and ‘everything went wrong’ so quickly.”

Natasha says she called the New York Police Department to report the accident, but was told that the police would not show up to accidents if there were no injuries and that both parties were willing to exchange information.

The Post contacted the NYPD.

In 2020, insurance companies reported 24,238 incidents of suspected auto insurance fraud, according to the New York State Motor Vehicle Theft and Insurance Fraud Prevention Council.

More than 18,000 incidents were classified as no-fault insurance fraud, an increase of 23% from 2019.
