A semi truck overturned on U.S. 287 in Wise County, spilling tens of thousands of dollars in dimes and triggering a massive recovery effort. 온라인카지노사이트 5’s Candace Sweat has the story.

A crash Tuesday morning left millions of dimes scattered across the highway in Wise County and closed down southbound lanes of U.S. 287 for most of the day.

The driver of an 18-wheeler hauling freshly minted dimes veered off the roadway, overcorrected and overturned just after 5:30 a.m. near Alvord High School according to the Texas Department of Public Safety.

Texas Sky Ranger flew over the area and saw crews using vacuums to suck up the loose change from the muddy ditch.

Street sweepers were also used to collect the shiny new dimes on the road. Texas DPS said about $80,000 worth of dimes were found on the highway.

The road will remain closed as coin collection continues; there's no estimate when the road will reopen.
