“They said they’d handle it through insurance” ... Driver hits a car in a parking lot, then changes tune hours later

[Financial News]  A story has emerged about a driver who hit another vehicle in a parking lot, promised to handle the matter through insurance, and then denied the accident a few hours later. The other driver is also alleged to be refusing requests to have the vehicle inspected, despite CCTV footage of the incident having been obtained.
The account was shared on the 5th through a social media account run by the online community Bobaedream.
A, the vehicle’s owner, recounted what happened, saying, “I found the vehicle damaged and checked the CCTV footage.”
The released footage shows a vehicle attempting to park striking the rear fender on the driver’s side and the bumper of A’s vehicle. The other driver reportedly got out, looked over the damaged area, and left without taking any further action.
A claimed to have reported the incident to police and confirmed the other driver’s identity. A said, “I reported it to the police and identified the person responsible.”
The other driver proposed a cash settlement, citing the possibility that their insurance premiums could rise. However, after A asked to handle the matter through insurance, the driver reportedly promised to file a property-damage claim that same day.
But the situation changed when, just a few hours after promising to handle it through insurance, the other driver denied that the accident had happened at all.
A said, “The driver at fault suddenly denied that the accident happened,” and complained, “They are refusing to comply with the police’s request to inspect the vehicle, saying they are in another area.”
People who saw the footage criticized the other driver’s actions. They reacted by saying, “You shouldn’t park like that,” and “The footage itself is evidence, so I wonder why they’re denying the accident.”
