Road Paved With Money

Piles of cash littered Interstate 40 near Oklahoma City, creating a traffic snafu as motorists abandoned their vehicles to scoop up the money. So far no one’s claimed ownership of the bank bag that burst Monday on the interstate. EMS paramedic Shawn Altebaumer stopped and picked up the bag. He turned it over to police with empty money wrappers and a $20 bill. It is not known how much was lost from the bag or picked up by motorists who stopped. Altebaumer said he thinks there was more than $30,000 lost from the bag and he saw 20 to 30 people scrambled to pick up money before he grabbed the bag. He said he also found four empty wrappers for bundles of $2,000.
