Vehicle Transporting Money in Crash

May 30, 2011 - PRLog -- A vehicle transporting money was involved in an accident on Friday, May 27, 2011. The vehicle was an SUV, specifically a 1998 Ford. The accident occurred on I-95 in Volusia County, Florida. The location was close to mile marker 250, close to New Smyrna Beach. The accident happened a little after 4pm on Friday.

The SUV had been transporting around $1,000,000 in currency. The currency included both coins and bills. The money was spilled out onto the street and next to the street after the accident. The driver of the vehicle called people he knew in the area to help him collect the money. The driver and the people he knew used metal detectors to help locate the money, and police officers helped as well. The area had many bushes along the side of the road, which made it especially difficult to locate the money. The great majority of the money was eventually recovered.

The accident caused traffic jams on I-95. The traffic occurred in the northbound lanes of I-95. One lane was closed, and this caused major traffic jams.

The driver of the vehicle was a Boca Raton man. He was 47-years-old, and he was a coin dealer. The driver was travelling to a coin show in Jacksonville, Florida. He was bringing the rare coins and currency to the show in Jacksonville.

The accident was caused when there was a problem with the vehicle’s tire. As a result of the problem, the vehicle toppled over onto the median of I-95. The driver’s wife was in the vehicle as well. She was 47-years-old. She was injured in the accident, and she was brought to the hospital with minor injuries.

The driver of the SUV was injured as well. He declined treatment on the scene until the money had been recovered. Both the driver and his wife were expected to be okay.
