Governor Cuomo signed legislation creating a Class E felony for staged motor vehicle accidents when a person intentionally causes a motor vehicle collision with the intent to commit a fraudulent insurance act. This measure also creates a class D felony for when a person commits the same crime and causes serious physical injury to another individual who was not a participant in the crime.  The legislation is named after Alice Ross, who was killed when her vehicle was struck by another vehicle, which was the result of an intentional attempt to commit auto insurance fraud by the other driver who planned to file insurance claims and receive a substantial settlement as a result of the crash.
