Well this is a first for me. I've heard of the staged auto accident scam but the staged cyclist getting hit by automobile scam is a new one. A very unfortunate one for Mr. Joe Grove of Dillion Colorado and liar friend "Brian" of Phoenix AZ.


I was at a stop light sitting there wating for the light to turn green to carry on straight ahead when a man came barreling down an incline on the sidewalk, into the crosswalk area, and right into the front hood of a Lexus loaner car I was returning to the dealer Bell Lexus of Phoenix, AZ. My car had been recalled, yet again, to "shorten"the accelerator pedal and install an "emergency braking over ride system" even though Toyota and Lexus say it wasn't part of the now famous recall.


So these 3 cyclists, in a nasty part of town see a nice shiny 2011 Lexus and think it's payday. Joe Grove rushed out into the street (which is something you don't do in Phoenix even with an OK walk sign) on a bike from the sidewalk and turned his bike to save it from damage while landing his large body on the car cause $1300 worth of damage.


He startled me to death as I didn't expect to be hit in the right lane at a red light. As any decent person would do, I immediately jumped out of the car while he was screaming at me and cursing me saying "you hit me you stupid *&^%$" . I'll let you use your imagination there.


Suddenly his friend "Brian" ran across the street (he had already pedaled across the street) and told Joe to sit down and shut up. That's when the screaming began. "My back is broken, my leg is broken, my neck is broken". Still I sit by his side saying I'm so sorry this happened, don't move, I called 911 the ambulance is on the way".


I did not say I'm sorry I hit you because I wasn't moving, I was sorry he was so stupid as to ride his bike on the wrong side of the road, not following road rules for cyclists and ran into the car.


Oddly, I didn't see ANY scratches, blood, cuts, scrapes, swelling, or brusing and I checked his over very well. Soon I saw his bike, I had to double take because not even so much as the front tire was bent, the bike was perfect and being wheeled away by a fireman in perfect working order.


Then the ambulance came to take this idiot away when a "witness' said "oh my gosh look at your car". There I saw what would become the biggest problem I've ever had in my life. A nice big dent and a headlight he smashed with his fist after he hit the front side panel.


I was a sitting duck. Little did they know that the Lexus I had in for recall repair was not owned by me nor was it new. I had been given access to drive a family friends spare older car until I could get a job and a place to live again. I'm on foodstamps. I had to borrow the money to insure the car.


So Progressive (my carrier) decided not to wait for a police report, authorized the repairs, and 5 days later I was being asked for thr $1000 deductible-still no police report. Luckily I have wonderful friends who organized a fund raiser and we came up with the $1000. I then sold most of my clothes and my mothers rings she gave me before she died to pay back the people who so kindly donated.


Now comes the report. I spoke to the officer who responded, he said "the cyclists were in the wrong" "they had no business being on the wrong side of the road". "You did nothing wrong, you shouldn't have to pay anything. I listed him as driver #1"


I presented this to Progressive and guess what, THEY DON"T CARE. They will not help me sue this man for the deductible for the damage he caused and said he is suing me for "hitting" him.


Well Joe Grove, I have news for you. Your friend lied to police by not giving your number to them for the intial report, and he urged you to lay down and act hurt. that's fraud in the insurance world.


I have submitted this case to one of the best civil attorney's in the state (who also practices in CO) who takes cases from no-income people like me pro bono when he feels justice is due. They started an investigation into you and into your prior history of colliding with cars while on a bike. They have also tried to phone to request your deposition but you gave your home number not the cell number you have with you here in Phoenix. So now we have people looking for you here in Phoenix.


My car was not moving, not turning, I was stopped. You caused me to lose the few precious things I had left and now I'm going to make sure you pay for all the time I lost and possible jobs I lost because I had no way to get to the interviews I worked 8 months to get! I lost the car I was in due to liability, lost the place I was staying, and I'm not gonna lose anymore!


I will persue you till I get paid. I want that $1000 so I can buy my mom's rings back. I want off welfare and food stamps, I want to get a job and not be worrying about all I lost. You will pay, believe me I will get what's legally and rightfully mine. Including the now $400 every 6 month increase in auto insurance I';ll have to pay because this goes on my insurance record. We need to get it on yours since YOU HIT ME!


This type of scam is unacceptable and I will not rest until you are arrested and charged with insurance fraud. And don't bother going after Progressive, policy gone, couldn't pay the next payment. It was cancelled and they won't pay you if they didn't get paid for the month prior to this incident. I saved for 8 months to pay that premium and it was wiped away by your idiotic actions.


No one gets away from me when I've been wronged. I'll bother you until you pay or die whichever comes first. I am a kind, decent person but I will not be part of an insurance scam. The cops, fire department, and emergenct room people indicated nothing was wrong with you so don't even try to pretend there is.


You can also have "Brian" tape the news for you because they picked up my story and are going to do do an interview with me next week. I'm pushing to get it on the local station there so your friends in CO will know what a scum bag you are.


 Liar, cheater, theif! Everyone needs to know the truth and they will!


Joe, Joeseph, Joseph Grove Dillion Colorado you have not seen the last of the person who was driving the Lexus you ran into on purpose with your bike in Phoenix AZ on May 6, 2010! Never!
