Dash for cash as $2M spills onto HK highway

HONG KONG: Boxes filled with more than US$2 million in cash spilled out of an armored van onto a major Hong Kong highway on Wednesday, sparking a frenzy as drivers and passers-by tried to get their hands on the notes.

Traffic ground to a halt on Gloucester Road in central Hong Kong as taxi drivers rushed out of their cars to make a grab for the hundreds of banknotes scattered over the busy multi-lane highway.
