Britain's biggest single 'crash for cash' scam foiled by police

Eight men tried to claim insurance payouts for a bogus bus crash but were undone when video evidence emerged of their delayed reactions. Ringleader Merrick Williams drove a rented car into the back of the bus carrying seven accomplices – one of whom was filmed falling to the floor. The eight were prosecuted in the biggest single case investigated by the Insurance Fraud Enforcement Department.
