Witnesses: Cash grabbed out of street after wreck
BOSSIER CITY, LA (KSLA) -
Bossier City police are looking for a man who may have snatched a wad of cash that had been thrown from a car moments after it wrecked on Barkdsale Boulevard early Monday afternoon.
Police say the woman had been heading eastbound in her Toyota in the 1600 block of Barksdale near the intersection with Westerfield Street around 1:40 p.m. when it was struck by a Chevy Tahoe that was pulling out of a dentist's office nearby.
The impact sent the Toyota spinning before it flipped and landed upside down on its roof.
Witnesses told police they saw a man snatch the cash out of the street and head east on Barksdale on foot, while the woman remained trapped in her overturned Toyota.
She was taken to LSU Health with injuries that have been described as "non-life-threatening," and no one else was injured.
Bossier Police spokesperson Mark Natale says there are units out trying to find the man who took the cash, but they have been unable to provide a detailed description that could help identify a suspect.
The investigation into the cause of the crash continues. No citations have been issued.
