KAMLOOPS — UPDATE: RCMP say a three-vehicle crash on the Trans Canada Highway this morning was caused by a package of styrofoam.

Cpl. Jodi Shelkie says the styrofoam fell off a vehicle onto the eastbound travel lanes, and drivers swerved to avoid hitting it.

As they maneuvered around it, three vehicles collided.

Shelkie says ambulance transported two people to Royal Inland Hospital, but they were found to be uninjured.

She notes the highway was never completely closed, but was tied up for a short time.
