Bank notes ‘rain down’

THE fantasy of seeing bank notes fluttering down from the sky came true for Dutch motorists after a package containing cash fell from a bank transport truck and broke open.

The incident triggered a dangerous scramble for the euro bills on the busy A2 highway near Maastricht, as people parked cars on the road’s shoulder and ran to scoop up loose notes.

It was not clear how much cash was lost in the unusual incident.
