Staged Truck Crashes Could Bring 20 Years in Federal Prison Under New Bill Introduced by Sen. Moody

Sen. Ashley Moody introduced the Staged Accident Fraud Prevention Act, which would make staged crashes with commercial motor vehicles a federal crime punishable by up to 20 years in prison. The bill also targets organizers and co-conspirators, with minimum 20-year sentences for serious injury or death. Industry groups including OOIDA and ATA support the measure, citing rising insurance premiums from fraud.
