Drivers scramble for cash after bank truck crash leaves it 'raining money'

Commuters in New Jersey were treated to an early Christmas present as cash rained down from the sky across a busdy road.



Dollar bills of different denominations floated through the air between the snow in East Rutherford, near New York, after what appeared to be a traffic accident between a car and an armoured vehicle carrying the money.



A video posted to Twitter at roughly 8.30am local time showed dozens of drivers risking their lives to leave their cars and scoop up the cash.



Bus passengers in the video can be heard laughing as one exclaimed: "This is super dangerous, everyone's just out of their car picking up money."
