[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Seryeong] A man in his 20s driving a Mercedes-Benz who deliberately caused traffic accidents to claim tens of millions of won in insurance money was caught by the police.

According to the Changwon Jungbu Police Station in Gyeongnam on the 15th, Mr. A in his 20s deliberately caused accidents between September 5 and the end of last month at locations including Changwon City Hall Intersection, illegally receiving 60 million won in insurance money over 25 cases.

He used a method of following vehicles making a normal left turn in the first lane from the second lane and colliding with them.

The police noticed that similar accidents occurred up to three times a day or every other day and, finding this suspicious, conducted an investigation into Mr. A.

Mr. A was arrested on charges of violating the Special Act on the Prevention of Insurance Fraud and causing special injury to some of the victim drivers.

During the investigation, seven additional intentional accidents caused by Mr. A were confirmed, and although he initially denied the charges, he later admitted to some of them.

A police official stated, “Despite causing multiple accidents, he did not repair his Mercedes-Benz vehicle,” and added, “We are investigating additional crimes beyond the revealed offenses.”
