GADSDEN, Ala. (AP) — It must have made for an unusual 911 call.
Annika Snead of Southside was heading home from work on U.S. 431 Wednesday evening when she had to slam on her brakes to avoid hitting a vehicle stopping to pull off the road just north of Attalla in Etowah County.
She thought the man might have had car trouble, then she saw him get out and pick something that looked like paper up.
As she traveled on, she saw two vehicles stopped one behind the other, and she saw a man standing on the road throwing what looked like a bunch of money in the air. A number of people stopped cars to pick up the money.
Concerned for their safety, Snead called 911 and reported the incident. She estimated it happened about 5:20 p.m.
