From Times Wire Services
PALO ALTO — Interstate 280 was awash with baseball cards Monday, but motorists with a love of the game couldn’t take advantage of the windfall.
Boxes containing 20,000 of the cards--owner unknown--fell from a truck and were hit by cars scattering them on the freeway. The California Highway Patrol showed up, and officers kept drivers from stopping to pick them up.
Caltrans crews cleaned up the mess.
“Whoever the (truck) driver was, he didn’t stop,” CHP Officer Andy Anderson said.
