Description
An overturned 18-wheeler hauling hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of loose change -- dimes to be specific -- closed part of U.S. 81/287 in Alvord for hours Tuesday, officials confirm.
The 18-wheeler overturned in the southbound lanes of U.S. 81/287 near Farm Road 1655 around 5:30 a.m. Tuesday, scattering millions of dimes across the roadway and closing the highway, the Wise County Messenger first reported and Alvord Fire officials confirm.
If you're doing the math in your head, we'll save you some time. That's 8,000,000 dimes in the road!
