Brooklyn Men Staged Crashes for Insurance Fraud | New York City News

from New York City News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Two Brooklyn men are behind a shocking insurance fraud ring that staged car crashes across NYC highways, earning them prison time—Huiracocha gets 1-3 years, Murillo two years. They recruited drivers to fake accidents, promising cash payouts, with Murillo often slamming into cars from behind while Huiracocha directed the chaos from a second vehicle. Victims pretended to be hurt and were sent to clinics, while claims ballooned to over $79K. One dashcam video cracked the case, and authorities warn these reckless stunts endanger lives and drive up insurance costs for all.
