CHAMPAIGN COUNTY, Ill. (WHDH) — Here’s something you don’t see every day: a highway covered in cash! Illinois State Troopers closed I-74 for about an hour so they could scoop up spilled money from the roadway, after a car carrying video gambling machines lost control and crashed.
The driver hit a guard rail before spinning into another car, while a third vehicle attempting to avoid the crash drove into a ditch.
The accident sent $20s, $5s and $1s from the machine flying across the highway.
Police said all of the drivers involved in the crash are expected to be OK.
