The accident Thursday when the armored truck stopped at an intersection in northern Kansas City was hit from behind by a truck.

The force of the collision dumped about $25,000 in coins onto Missouri Highway 152. The highway was closed for about four hours as employees from the armored car company used shovels, brooms, leaf blowers, and then vacuums to clean it all up.

The driver of the truck was critically injured. The armored truck driver was not injured.
