Staged Crash Captured By Dashcam Footage

If at first you don’t succeed at getting a truck to rear-end you, do it yourself. That’s what investigators say a Delray Beach man did after slamming his brakes in an effort to have a crash with the tow truck behind him so he could collect insurance money. It was all part of a staged crash in which Mauril Aldophe filed an insurance claim, blaming the other driver, according to a Florida Department of Financial Services arrest report. What Aldophe, 65, didn’t know is that the tow truck driver’s dashcam recorded his actions which helped lead to the arrest that landed him in jail Friday.
