ALVORD, Texas - Crews are working to clean up a truckload of dimes that spilled onto U.S. Highway 287 in Wise County.
What we know:
The Alvord Fire Department confirmed the dimes spilled from an 18-wheeler that overturned on Hwy. 287 near Alvord High School early Tuesday morning.

The highway has been shut down since then so that crews can recover all the loose change.

Images from SKY 4 showed some workers scooping up piles of dirt and coins with a shovel. Other workers used a vacuum cleaner to suck up the coins. One person appeared to be picking up dimes by hand.

What we don't know:
It’s not yet clear why the 18-wheeler was carrying so many loose dimes.

The cause of the crash is still unknown.

There’s no timeline for when the highway will reopen.

The Source: The information in this story comes from the Alvord Fire Department and SKY 4 video.

We have an update: It was carrying 8 million loose dimes or $800,000 which would weigh 39,996 pounds.
