'Compensation scammer' runs into car, caught on camera

A suspected compensation hunter ran towards a taxi and hurled herself on the bonnet before playing dead in the middle of the road in Blackpool, Lancashire.

Her furious male companion could be seen racing towards the baffled cab driver before throwing abuse at him.

Cab driver Christopher Stewart believes her actions are an attempted 'crash for cash' scam and is thankful he had a dashboard camera to prove he did not hit her.
