Telematics data helped convict five perpetrators of a £1.1m ($1.4m) "cash for crash" scam in the UK. The data from a telematics box in the main car of the scam was used in the trial of five individuals, part of a network of 19, who conspired to engineer crashes to make personal injury claims. The ringleader was convicted of fraud at Harrow Crown Court and jailed for between 16 months to 4.5 years. Four others were jailed for five years.
