HAGERSTOWN, Md. – In a scene that one witness described as like a movie, dozens of motorists driving on a highway in Maryland stopped their cars to grab fistfuls from a “snow globe of cash” lost from an armored truck Friday morning.

Attorney Heather Kelly said she was driving on Interstate 270 to her office in Frederick when she passed through the surreal scene about 35 miles northwest of Washington.

Kelly didn’t recall seeing an armored truck, but she did see two clear plastic bags of currency along the road and about 30 cars parked on both shoulders by people frantically trying to collect the money.
