Pennsylvania Woman Tried to Get Policy After Child’s Crash
Forty-two-year-old Heidi Schmidt, of Cecil Township, was ordered to trial after waiving her right to a preliminary hearing Wednesday.
Authorities say Schmidt’s daughter crashed at 12:48 a.m. on Christmas Day, 2010 after falling asleep at the wheel. Authorities say Schmidt applied for Geico insurance online about a half hour later and paid for it using an online check. Schmidt then allegedly had her daughter lie that the crash happened about 2 a.m.
The Observer-Reporter of Washington, Pa. reports Friday that claim was denied. Police say the woman’s car insurance had lapsed about a month earlier due to nonpayment.
