Conman feigned neck injury after his car was shunted, despite not being in the vehicle

Updated



A man who claimed to have been injured when his vehicle was involved in a minor collision has been handed a suspended jail sentence, after surveillance footage showed him running to his car after the shunt.

James Young, 33, from Deeside, Wales, claimed to have been injured when another vehicle reversed into his in a Co-op car park in February. He said that he had been in the vehicle with his partner and three children at the time of the collision and made personal injury claims for each of them.
