A driver was struck and killed while getting out of his car to cross a Rhode Island highway where people were seen scrambling to pick up loose cash, according to reports.
Kevin Elliot McCourt stopped his car on I-95 in Providence around 5:40 a.m. Wednesday and had already walked across the southbound lanes when he was fatally struck by a Volkswagen SUV on the northbound side, WJAR reported .
The deadly accident came as civilians and cops were filmed chasing down dollar bills that were flying around on the same highway, NBC News said.
However, police have not yet confirmed if McCourt was killed while trying to grab the loose cash. It was also not clear where the money came from.
Locals were shocked to see money flying around the busy highway, but not surprised people risked their lives to get it.
