Chaotic dashcam video captured the moment suspected insurance fraudsters crashed into a motorist and seemingly faked injuries before noticing a dashcam on the Belt Parkway in Queens.

Ashpia Natasha was driving on the three-lane parkway at 11 a.m. Wednesday when a silver Honda Civic merged from the center lane into the left, cutting her off, before the erratic driver slammed on his brakes, according to a video of the crash posted to TikTok.

Natasha’s quick reaction saved her from crashing into the Honda.

The unpredictable operator turns on the hazards before stomping on the gas and flooring the car into Natasha’s front bumper.

“I just got into an accident, I don’t know what’s happening,” Natasha told her husband through the car’s speakerphone. “This guy just reversed into me, what the hell is going on.”

Natasha claims two backseat passengers used a “tarp” to cover the back window so the male driver could switch seats with a female passenger.

Four occupants exited the Honda, seemingly acting as if they were injured, while they inspected the damage to the bumper.

“I believe the intention was to say I hit their car for insurance fraud purposes,” Natasha said.
