QuoteA 24-year-old man has been jailed for four-and-a-half years after admitting his part in a £1.6m "crash for cash" conspiracy in Greater Manchester.

Mohammed Patel deliberately caused at least 93 car crashes in three years, each costing insurers about £17,000.

Patel, of Nottingham Drive, Bolton, admitted a number of charges at Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court.

He charged £500 a time to stage accidents, which enabled car owners to claim for bogus damages from insurers.
