Cash Grab On 10 Freeway Creates Hazardous Situation

LOS ANGELES -- An unexpected shower of money rained down on a Southern California freeway when a motorcyclist dropped a canvas bag with $2,000 on Interstate 10 in the Monterey Park area east of Los Angeles.

According to CHP Officer Anthony Martin, a motorcyclist dropped a computer bag full of cash on the eastbound freeway at Garfield Avenue, about five miles east of the Los Angeles Civic Center.

The money scattered on the freeway at about 11 a.m. Sunday and passing motorists couldn't resist a grab for cash.

Several vehicles simply stopped in 65 mph traffic to pick up the loose bills and drove away.

The Harley-Davidson driver said he got back only about $100.
