QUIRKY WORLD ... ‘That’s something that happens in spy movies...’

USA: A Utah man got a surprise when he stopped to pull a large orange bag off the road, fearing it would become a traffic hazard.

The 34kg bag tumbled out of a truck driving in front of Dan Kennedy on Interstate 80. When he looked inside, he found stacks of cash. “I thought it was going to be light. I reached down to grab it, and I couldn’t move it,” Kennedy said.

Approximately 1.2m tall and 60cm wide, the sack was filled with smaller bags packed with currency, including $50 and $100 bills. Kennedy estimated each of the small bags contained $22,000 (€20,000). It was unclear how much money the entire bag contained.
