BLURB:
Fraudulent
car accidents is a multi-million dollar racket, involving unscrupulous medical
providers, personal injury attorneys, and the cooperating passengers involved
in the accidents and who also receive a portion of the illegal proceeds. Such
is the fate of newly engaged, Nathan and Shari, whose joy is tempered by the
dark cloud of mounting debt. A chance encounter with a stranger in whom Shari
confides her troubles, proves fortuitous: he tells her of a get-rich-quick
scheme that will put her and her fiance on easy street. Seduced by the chance
to move from hard times to good times in no time, she finds herself acting as a
stuffed passenger the victim in a staged auto accident. Shari gets her payday,
but getting out and breaking free of the insurance fraud underworld will take
nothing short of a miracle. A modern day cautionary tale that uncovers how the
innocent get lured into the scheme of cappers and hammers.

For KXXX TV and KXXX AM Radio News, this is Katie Carlson
with your mid-morning eye-in-the-sky traffic report, and it’s an easy one: It’s
messed up EVERYWHERE! So far, the 405 South is backed up all the way to the
101. So, if you are going into Hollywood this morning, you are going to be late
for that audition. Also, there is an injury crash on the Eastbound 10. So, if
you are heading into downtown LA, you might want to bring a magazine or get some
knitting done. If you are going to LAX, forget it, call mom back east and tell
her you will be driving out instead. Just Kidding! Any way, this is Katie
Carlson with the Los Angeles mid-morning traffic report. Enjoy your commute
everybody, NOT!
