New problems have arisen as a video of attempted insurance fraud on the Belt Parkway in Queens went viral.

Police have begun to investigate the incident that was staged by three individuals.

A woman by the name of Ashpia Natasha uploaded a video via TikTok two days after the accident occurred on Oct. 16.

After viewers encouraged her in the comment section to bring this video to the police, it became clear that Natasha was a victim of attempted insurance fraud.

The video showed Natasha driving in the left lane on the Belt Parkway when a silver Honda switched lanes abruptly in front of her, causing her to break hard.

Afterward, the Honda is seen in her dashcam purposely backing into her front bumper, creating an accident.

In the video, Natasha was on the phone with her husband expressing her fear and anxiety after getting hit.

The driver and two other passengers accelerated forward and instantly exited the Honda, beginning to take photos of Natasha’s car and license plate.

The passengers and driver were two women and a man who were shown to be pretending to have injuries from the accident.

The man continued to appear injured until he noticed the dash camera inside of the car.

Along with the silver Honda, it seemed that other cars driving on the Belt Parkway near Natasha’s vehicle were also in on the incident.

She claimed in the caption of her TikTok video that another car— a red kia, moved out of the way after originally being in front of her so that the Honda would have space to suddenly merge into her lane.

According to the New York Post, cases like Natasha’s are becoming more and more common in New York City.

Mark Friedlander, a spokesperson for the Insurance Information Institute, said that stage accidents like the one on the Belt Parkway cost insurers about $20 billion every year, and make insurance rates higher for everyone else.

“Until they’re caught and put behind bars, the schemes are not going to slow down,” Friedlander told the New York Post.

According to the New York Senate, Bill S2508 which was sponsored by Sen. Anna Kaplan in 2019, makes staging a motor vehicle accident a crime that is punishable by law.
