Authorities say a Pennsylvania man known as an insurance coverage company from a crash scene to purchase auto coverage and later claimed his wreck happened after he got the policy.
The Altoona Mirror reports that the insurance fraud charges filed this week against 33-year-old Michael Traveny stem from an Aug. 21 crash in Duncansville, Pennsylvania.
State prosecutors say Traveny didn’t have insurance coverage when he crashed that evening so he known as Secure Auto Insurance from the scene and bought coverage with out mentioning the wreck.
Prosecutors say Traveny filed a $ 3,900 claim the subsequent day claiming the crash happened soon after the policy took impact.
On the web court records do not list an attorney for Traveny. He faces a preliminary hearing March 17.
