Money Flying Free on the Freeway


Occurred on July 9, 2019 / Atlanta, Georgia, USA

Info from Licensor: "It was around 7:45 pm here in Atlanta and I was heading home for the day. I saw a lot of debris on the road and a number of cars pulled over so I slowed down. There were over a dozen cars pulled off to the right and to my left, a large semi truck and other vehicles were driving across all of the lanes to get to the shoulder. I saw that it was money and immediately pulled out my phone to film the scene. I have read before that picking up found money is 'Theft by Finding' so I did not consider stopping to pick any up. It just didn't seem worth it. There were definitely people running out into the highway. I-285 is the busiest road in Atlanta with speeds averaging over 75MPH and 6 lanes in each direction. It was especially dangerous with the cars and trucks cutting across many lanes of traffic to get to the side."
