The same group of persons attacked two women on the Belt Parkway who claim to have been victims of insurance fraud while driving.
The red Kia and the silver Honda
Ashpia Natasha’s Wednesday morning journey took a terrible turn. On the Belt Parkway, a driver in a silver automobile suddenly stopped and backed up into her SUV, as captured on her front dash cam footage.
“The guy in the silver Honda, he just went from the middle lane and cut me off,” Natasha stated.
Shortly after the collision, a red Kia was observed pulling up in front of the vehicle, as filmed by her back camera. One of the four people exiting the car gets into the Kia.
“That’s when they started saying that they needed to leave and they had to go pick up their baby. So they’re kind of rushing to leave,” Natasha stated.
Natasha claims that after exchanging information, the gang was more than willing to go on after persuading her that she had been involved in insurance fraud.
It turns out that Alyssa Attanasio experienced the same event only two months prior. She claimed that when the silver car suddenly stopped on the Belt, her dash cam captured her ramming into it. Additionally, Attanasio’s back camera caught a red Kia, precisely like it did with Natasha.
Attanasio didn’t begin to suspect that the same individuals were targeting her until she was shown Natasha’s dash cam footage by her insurance inspector.
“It’s disgusting. You know? Everybody’s looking for like a, like a quick payday. It’s much harder to get up and go to a job, report to a job daily,” Attanasio stated.

Because drivers in wealthy localities are thought to have better insurance companies, fraudulent auto accidents are more likely to occur in places with a higher vehicle volume, according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau. Furthermore, according to the FBI, thieves target women who drive alone.
“It’s traumatic, even though we’re all still here to talk about it. It is very taxing. It is very taxing because you worry about yourself. You worry about, you know, people suing you and everything like that,” Attanasio stated.
