SHERWOOD, Ore. (AP) - The Tualatin-Sherwood Highway was paved with $100 bills Tuesday night.

The Oregon State Police says a Sherwood man forgot he placed an envelope containing $5,000 cash on the back of his vehicle while at a gas station. The man drove off and later realized he had lost the money.

Two Oregon State Police troopers found nearly half the cash blowing along the highway. The agency is trying to help the owner recover the rest.

Anyone who found cash along the highway is asked to call OSP Northern Command Center dispatch at (800) 452-7888.
