Driver tosses $100 bills out the window on interstate, causing ‘significant traffic hazard’

司机在州际公路上撒出大量的100美元钞票,引发“重大交通危险”

Drivers on Interstate 5 in Oregon got a chance for a cash grab when a driver tossed hordes of bills out of his window.

一男子在俄勒冈州5号州际公路上把钱撒出车窗外,给路过的司机们一个捡钱的机会。

Oregon State Police and other local authorities received multiple calls reporting money “floating” along Interstate 5 in Eugene, Oregon State Police Kyle Kennedy confirmed in an email statement.

俄勒冈州警察局和其他当地政府机构接到了多个举报电话,说钞票“飘荡”在俄勒冈尤金市的5号公路上,俄勒冈州警察凯尔·肯尼迪在一封电子邮件声明中证实了这一情况。

According to Kennedy, multiple cars had stopped along the highway’s north and south lanes so people could hunt for what appeared to be loose $100 bills.

据肯尼迪说,多辆车停在高速公路的北、南车道上,因为人们在寻找那些看起来像是散落的100美元钞票。

Eventually, police located the source of the highway hullabaloo: 38-year-old Colin Davis McCarthy, who said he wanted to gift the money, which he claimed amounted to $200,000.

最终,警察找到了这场公路闹剧的源头:38岁的科林·戴维斯·麦卡锡。他声称自己想给大家送钱,金额达到了20万美元。

Concerned that the cash drop was causing a "significant traffic hazard" (in the words of Kennedy), troopers asked McCarthy to stop his giveaway. 

考虑到这场现金雨可能会造成“重大交通危险”(用肯尼迪的话说),警察要求麦卡锡停止他撒钱的行为。

“McCarthy was cooperative and agreed to stop leaving money on the roadway,” stated Kennedy, who also confirmed that no criminal charges are currently being considered.

“麦卡锡很配合,同意停止在公路上撒钱。”肯尼迪表示,并确认目前没有考虑对他提出任何刑事指控。
