A Seattle, Wash. woman has pled guilty to filing a false claim in an insurance case after allegedly smashing her van into two parked cars.

According to investigators, Luom Vo, 38, was driving on Beacon Ave. just before 2 a.m. on Nov. 27, 2009, when she ran her van into two parked vehicles. Her van caused some serious damage to the unfortunate vehicles in its wake before she made a break for it.

Seeing as her van was disabled due to the crash, Vo hitched a ride away from the scene with a friend. Later that same day, she called her insurer, PEMCO, to report her ride stolen and file a claim. When asked by PEMCO investigators about the crash, she insisted that she was not driving the van when it happened.
