Truckin’, got my chips cashed in…

I’m seriously tempted to steal borrow Jay G.’s “Play Stupid Games, Win Stupid Prizes” tag.

In addition to the Satan worshiping Mr. Davis, we have a story out of Houston today. It appears that a truck driver jumped out of the cab of his truck on a major local freeway. The initial reports were rather mysterious; how and why did he get out of the cab and onto the freeway, anyway?

According to the gentleman’s business partner, it appears the gentleman in question intended to crash his truck into an overpass column, and then planned to file a fraudulent claim on his insurance for the truck. The business partner appears to have been aware of this, as he was following behind the truck in a SUV, and stopped the truck after the driver jumped out.

And what of the driver? “The man died when he slammed onto the pavement…

Question: I believe insurance fraud is a felony. Since the business partner was aware of, and from what the article says, an active participant in the plan, could he be charged under the felony murder rule?
