The guy told them, "When the police arrive you are going to tell them MY version of the accident" (lie lie lie). He then paid each willing accomplice $20. When the police arrived, the "witnesses" told the police the "story". As a result the police wrote the elderly woman a ticket.
Unfortunately, she accepted the ticket and as a result her insurance company blamed her for the wreck. So now this crap is on her driving AND her insurance record. PLUS, she was out $$$$ to get her car repaired.
How would you feel about the insurance company using this scenario (unwarranted ticket and accident) against your elderly mother or grandmother?

What's your point? The insurance still had to pay because she would have been determined at fault, regardless of what actually happened and thus justifying increased rates. Its her fault for accepting it and sitting back assuming that story is true (somehow I think it is probably exaggerated when it was told to you). The police would have charged the perp with obstructing an investigation, insurance fraud, and tampering with evidence if she lifted a finger.
