Several cars stopped on a highway in Spain to collect banknotes that flew into the window of a car involved in an accident near the city of Marbella, reports El Pais.

Motorists traveling along the A7 near Marbella on Monday were surprised to see €50 notes lying on the road.

The incident occurred after a car carrying a briefcase containing 20,000 euros was involved in an accident, Civil Guard sources said. The impact sent the bag flying out the window, and the money scattered across the road.

Seeing the rain of money, drivers stopped in the middle of the track to collect the scattered notes, thereby contributing to the traffic jam.

The police say that those who took the money committed a crime, but so far no one has been arrested.

Also, the National Police is currently investigating the origin of the money. Owners of €20,000 said they wanted to use it to buy a car.

In Spain, the law allows you to carry up to 100,000 euros in cash. (Photo source: Dreamstime)
