According to the media, the accident occurred on Interstate 5 in Carlsbad shortly before 9:15 a.m. Friday while the truck was traveling from San Diego to a Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.

As Sgt. Curtis Martin of the California Highway Patrol (CHP) claimed, “One of the doors popped open and bags of cash fell out,” Several bags burst apart, scattering wads of cash, chiefly $1 and $20 notes, over the road, causing havoc.

The California Highway Patrol advised everyone to return the money, “If you stop to pick up money, as many people have videoed the scene, you can possibly be facing charges,” Officer Jim Bettencourt told the media.

CHP Officer Mary Bailey praised people who had already returned the money they had collected in a statement released Friday night.

Also, the warning issued by the agency, “Multiple pictures and videos were posted on social media (that) captured faces and license plates at the scene of this incident. The CHP is working with the FBI to identify those who participated in the theft of money.”

The Media network which broadcast the subsequently captured two persons in San Diego, and investigators are still on the lookout for more. According to a CHP spokesman, a man and woman were detained on suspicion of stealing money, and “the pair’s car was blocking traffic after they got locked out of their vehicle.”

A similar event occurred in New Jersey in 2018, when the back door of an armored vehicle malfunctioned, spilling a cache of cash on the roadway.
