CARLSBAD, Calif.—Bags of cash fell out of an armored truck and burst open on Interstate 5 in northern San Diego County Nov. 19, sending currency blowing across the roadway and halting traffic in the area while authorities—and opportunistic commuters—collected the scattered money.
Two of those who allegedly helped themselves to some of the spilled greenbacks were taken into custody at the scene of the spectacular mishap, which happened about 9:15 a.m. on the northbound lanes of the freeway at Cannon Road in Carlsbad, according to the California Highway Patrol.
