The video released by Mr. A shows a vehicle on a two-lane road avoiding an illegally parked car, turning right after seeing a grandmother who had fallen alone from the sidewalk toward the road. The grandmother lost her balance while walking on the sidewalk and fell onto the road, and the vehicle recorded on the black box was moving slowly.

Mr. A explained the situation, saying, "The grandmother walking on the sidewalk fell toward the road regardless of the car, so I was worried and helped her up. However, the grandmother confronted the driver, saying, 'The car came fast and that's why I fell.'" He added, "(Fortunately) someone there said they saw us going slowly because there was a speed bump ahead."

He continued, "After the police came and reviewed the video, they told our employee, 'You can just leave,' but as they were leaving, the grandmother shouted and caused a commotion," lamenting, "It's scary how people sell their conscience for a few bucks."

Netizens who read the story responded with comments such as, "The grandmother is too much. It’s obvious," "This is outrageous. I’m scared to drive," "Thank goodness for the black box," and "Illegal parking is also a problem."

According to the National Police Agency, traffic accident insurance fraud damages have been steadily increasing over the past three years. The Financial Supervisory Service estimates that the damage amount increased by 16.8% from 359.3 billion KRW in 2019 to 419.9 billion KRW in 2021, and the number of detected cases rose by 9.1% from 53,501 to 58,367 during the same period.

In response, the police have classified traffic accident insurance fraud as a malicious crime that causes economic burdens by increasing insurance premiums for ordinary insured citizens and threatens the lives and physical safety of the public through intentional traffic accidents. Since around April, they have formed a dedicated task force.

The police plan to strictly crack down by designating a dedicated team of 587 personnel across 157 teams nationwide. They will also promptly freeze the insurance payout accounts used by fraudsters and simultaneously recover insurance money by confiscating and seizing criminal proceeds.
