Phantom vehicle

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Phantom vehicles)

In vehicle insurance, a phantom vehicle is one that causes injury, death, or damage without making physical contact.[1] For example, a run-off-road accident can be caused by a car in the opposing direction drifting partly over the center line of a highway, then veering away. In some such cases, the driver of the phantom vehicle, much like a hit and run driver, leaves the scene, and thus in the subsequent accident investigation, the presence of the vehicle is known only through eyewitness testimony, unless a dashcam records video evidence.
