DRIVERS CHASE CASH SPILLED BY ARMOURED TRUCK
An armoured truck spilled cash on a New Jersey highway Thursday, leading to two crashes as drivers “went a little bit crazy,” stopping their cars and scrambling to grab the swirling money. The frenzy happened during morning rush hour in East Rutherford.
In online videos, a man in uniform is seen running through traffic trying to collect money, while others exited their cars to do the same. “People went a little bit crazy when they saw the money,” said Danielle Shah, 29, who saw the incident from a bus. “I mean, it seemed like the people who got out of the car — they just didn’t care. They parked their cars in the middle of the highway.”
Police didn’t know how much money spilled and urged people to give it back without consequences.
