A Pennsylvania woman faces charges of insurance fraud after an investigation proved that she faked an injury at a car wash to collect a settlement.
Authorities charged Diane Ann Sherupski, 58, of Coal Township, Pa., with one count each of insurance fraud and criminal attempt of theft by deception on December 7, 2010. Those allegations stem from Sherupski's claim that she was injured in a fall at the Mid-Towne Car Wash in Shamokin on Jan. 4, 2008.
According to her initial story, Sherupski was on her way to the change machine with a handful of cash when she fell, and dropped the money. After picking up the dollar bills, she got back into her car and drove away without washing the vehicle. During her fall, she suffered a cut on her hand, and a lower back injury. Apparently the alleged injuries were not so severe that Sherupski needed immediate treatment, as she waited until Jan. 12 to go to the emergency room.
