News from all over - Altamont

Money flying from a camper traveling down a stretch of I-90 caused a stir Sunday afternoon as people slammed their brakes for a chance to grab some cash. The driver of the camper didn't even know the money was there. His boss stashed about $14,000 in the vents of the trailer. "He had stashed it...forgot about it."

For responding troopers the scenario was something of a nightmare. "When we got to the scene there was still money blowing all around." Most people returned the money, but of course others decided to keep it. So far troopers have recovered about $7,000 of the $14,000. Much of cash just... flew away.
