A Boston Globe reporter masquerading as a Hub taxi driver gave a disputed version of a two-car crash that sent him and his two passengers to the hospital in a front-page story yesterday that’s raising questions about liability and whether he misrepresented himself.

The one-sided account of the crash, included in a report about Boston’s cab industry, also came after the reporter appeared to conceal his Globe employment in an application to the cab company that hired him.

In the application, Spotlight Team reporter Bob Hohler stated to Boston Cab Co. that his occupation was “sports” and he worked for “NYT Company,” but he did not disclose his role as a Globe investigative reporter on assignment. The New York Times Co. is the Globe’s parent company.

Brett Barenholtz, CEO of Boston Cab, said he’s “sure” the company is now in the cross hairs of a potential lawsuit from the passengers “because they got injured in one of our cabs and he was working with the Globe at the time.

“We feel if he’s a guy that is not a cab driver and then he goes out, wrecks a cab because he’s probably busy — who knows what he’s doing — while he’s out there, he’s not a professional cab driver,” Barenholtz said.
