Is Our Diversities Learing?

CTV Regina;

Officers arrived at the intersection of Ninth Avenue and Pinkie Road, finding the vehicles that appeared to be involved in a head-on collision.

Four people in total were there, with a driver and passenger in each vehicle. They all remained at the scene and were later transported to hospital for what seemed to be serious, but non-life-threatening injuries.

In a Thursday news release, police say both vehicles involved sustained “significant” damage.

Police say SGI notified them several months later, noting the collision may have been intentionally staged.

That prompted an investigation involving the SGI Special Investigators Unit, members from RPS’s Investigative Collision Analysis Reconstruction Team, and Forensic Identification Unit and Technological Crime Unit.

The investigation determined the collision had been deliberately staged.

As a result, 23-year-old Sukhveer Kaur, 24-year-old Akashdeep Singh and 26-year-old Gagandeep Singh have all been charged with fraud over $5,000.

  1. Question: Is it possible to have any meaningful automobile insurance when an entire section of the population stages car accidents as a means of income?

    Answer: Shut up and get back to work.

  2. You have to appreciate their commitment to selling it. If they just could have been going a weee bit faster…

    1. “If they just could have been going a weee bit faster…”

      It appears to me that drunks and criminals never seem to d1e in these sorts of things. Innocent bystanders or some lady taking her kids to daycare are the ones.

      Or a bus full of hockey players.

      1. my understanding is the nerve dulling effect of the alcohol. lessens the physical pain impulses and thus the medical shock effect. basically they get so drunk as to be for the most part unawares of ‘what just happened’. sitting around with a stunned expression, ‘feeling no pain’ and what have you.
        iow if the injury in itself is insufficient to knock them out then watch out for them for instance wandering off bleeding from an injury.
        (p.s. personally l FURIOUSLY detest drunk drivers. l haven’t been harmed by any but have been in a vehicle with the beer getting passed around, and have also seen what drunk driving can lead to.)

      2. Indeed, but in this situation it seems a group of four had an agreed upon scenario involving them staging what sounds like a head on between two vehicles with two conspirators in each vehicle. In which case an additional 50 km/h closing speed would have done the world a favor. I certainly wouldn’t give more than a shrug about it. Maybe they’d have been reincarnated as something useful. Perhaps doctors.

  3. Jeez, I’m having some difficulty in recalling the last time I heard of Bob Smith and Jim Jones pulling off something like this.

    Something something turd world

      1. And even the poorest Smith and Jones have something to lose … the Singh family? Nothing to lose.

    They knew it was fraud from the onset. This happens a lot. Likely, the perps used two clunkers for the collision, and the ACV (actual cash value) of the vehicles didn’t tip the Saskatchewan insurance fraud threshold of $5,000. But, if you wait a little while as the perps run up their medical bills for bodily injury liability to document a “pain and suffering claim”, then file said claim(s), the fraud goes over the threshold set in Saskatchewan.

    Under $5,000 the judge can let them off with a wrist slap. The maximum potential prison sentence is 2 years, and you know the judiciary isn’t going to hand that out voluntarily. BUT, over $5,000 makes it the equivalent of a felony with a potential 14 year prison sentence and big fines.

    Give your law enforcement a pat on the back for this one. They know what they face with judges letting immigrants off the hook…so they made a bigger hook, and much more difficult for the legal system to let them off.

    1. What are the odds that the Singh bros. race was listed as “non-hispanic white” … for government statistical purposes?

  5. The flipflop gang aren’t the sharpest tools in the drawer.
    They crash their cars to receive payouts for the purchased value, not depreciated value.
    But, they risk life altering injuries, for $$$ payouts on the insurance.
    That’s just Nucking Futs.

    1. Nine out ten times the passengers will exit the vehicle before the collision. Only the drivers will be inside when the collision occurs. Also, the standard format is to rent a U-Haul truck and get the insurance option. Then, the truck backs into an empty car on the road. The occupants of the car get back in, and wait for the police (who they call). All parties will state that the truck slammed on the breaks and the car had no time to stop. Then, all parties in the car file a liability claim against U-Haul. U-Haul doesn’t have a defense because the driver (who, of course, in on it) will back up the occupants of the car.

      This is standard procedure in India, and is very organized. Just substitute Tata Ace (Chota Hathi) for U-Haul. Same MO….same attempt at insurance fraud.

      On the story above, they said the parties were transported to the hospital with “serious” injuries. I can fake a neck injury too. It’s not hard.

  6. A similar thing happened to me a few years ago. I was southbound on highway 400 in Ontario when a car passed me then abruptly pulled over in front of me and slammed on the brakes. Needless to say I ran into the back of them and a car full of (ahem) recent immigrants got out rubbing their necks and holding their backs in obvious pain.
    The OPP showed up I sat quietly in my car and waited while he interview them. He then came over to me and asked me what my story was. I said I don’t have a story but I do have a dashcam. Some times crime doesn’t pay.

  7. I’m surprised that this is still going on anywhere. They were doing this in BC 40 years ago.

    At that time I had a friend whose father was an ICBC executive. He told his son (who was sworn to secrecy but told us anyway) that the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia had a special branch that did nothing but investigate East Indian fraud. This would have been a *huge scandal* had it been widely known, but it was completely necessary because of the sheer scale of the fraud. These people would not only stage accidents: they had body shops, parts suppliers, physiotherapists and even some ICBC adjusters in on the fraud…exaggerating injuries, damages and repair prices.

    Every once in a while you would read in the newspaper about a mass arrest of people for ICBC fruad, almost all of them of East Indian descent. At the time I was puzzled about their brazenness, but knowing what I know now about India I have understand it completely. When you come from a culture where the police, the institutions and the government itself are shamelessly corrupt, you learn to work the system to your benefit…because *everyone else* does too. Routinely.

    Just another reason why “Import third world, become third world” still holds true today…only now we are doing it with Muslims as well.

    1. EXACTLY! This is old news and I’m surprised it’s still going on, but I guess this is new to SK.
      It was happening in Surrey back in the 90’s. EVERYBODY knew it was one ethnic group doing it, to a point where ICBC stopped giving out insurance money to soft-tissue injuries unless there was actual vehicle damage.
      Scamming runs in Indian culture. They will tell you that straight up.

  8. Another scam: a staged or for-real accident, and passersby (or fellow conspirators) jump into one or both cars, claiming they were injured in the crash.

  9. soooooooooooooo this diversity thing, l gather it includes aspects of language, forms of entertainment, cultural norms, and criminal scams? the latter a MOST MOST rich ‘vein’ to be plumbed until the yokels get wind?

    oh, oh, oh and are we on track for the newest 15,000,000?
    f&%&$?! of LIEberals. anybody, feel free to do a charlie kirk on p.m. Carnage. the previous one was merely an inept prettyboy, but THIS one vastly more *willfully* damaging. for a host of reasons and motives.
    (pssst: congrats elbozos, ya finally got what ya wanted and voted for since 1968)

  10. That’s nothing, the Calgary Police Service actively facilitates insurance fraud.

    Got a call from my insurance in February, they wanted a statement from me about an “accident” I was involved in in August of the previous year, exactly six months prior to the day. I said “what accident?”. You struck and injured a pedestrian in a crosswalk and then left the scene. “The hell I did!”

    Got the accident report, the location was fictional. In the crosswalk in front of a certain business on 64th avenue. Problem is the business was on the 6800 block of 40th street, and there are no crosswalks or even sidewalks in the area.

    I emailed the cop and challenged the report and why am I only finding out about this six months later? He tried to call me on both numbers and I did not pick up. Check my phone, no missed calls in that date range. So basically he was intentionally keeping me in the dark for as long as possible.

  11. I grew up 1 kilometre east of 9th Ave N. and Pinkie Rd. (there is no “9th and Pinkie Rd)
    When Kelvin (best friend who died of leukemia about 2007) and I were riding around the neighborhood when we were 6, about a month after we met, and we found 2 dead cats.
    We thought the best thing to do would be to take them out of the city and bury them in a ditch, so we got some string from his house, rode back to where the cats were, tied the cats tails to the string and to the seat stems of our bikes and we each proceeded to ride west on 9th N to Pinkie Rd, dragging the dead cats on the gravel road.
    When we got there, a City of Regina cop pulled up and said, “what are you guys doing” and Kelvin said “we found these dead cats and we’re taking them out of the city to bury them in the ditch”
    And the cops said, “where do you guys live?” and Kelvin said, “over there” and I said “number” Ritchie Cr. and then the cops asked “what are your names and who are your parents?” and Kelvin said “my name’s Kelvin and my parents are “mom and dad” and I said “my name is Marc (and last name too…) and my parents are “both their names coughed right up like they threatened my life” and the cops shook their heads and said just leave the dead cats there and we’ll have someone come pick them up”

    Kelvin reminded me of how I coughed up the details about 1000 times in the next 40 years that we knew each other, and I promised it was a “once only event” many of those times, usually we just laughed.

    So we did. And I don’t ever recall going out to 9th Ave N and Pinkie Rd again. I’m certain. It’s desolate, no trees, no bushes, no nothing, simply an intersection of roads which “had to meet somewhere” and so did.

    Maybe it’s more popular with the new Canadians, someone should send a drone over the area with pattern detecting software to see how many bodies are buried out there.

  12. They should have a tea room on Pinkie Road. Even better, extend the road. Put the tea room on Pinkie Extension.
