Papers litters Interstate 15 between Sahara Avenue and Charleston Boulevard after a box fell from a truck and was hit by a bus Tuesday, July 24, 2012.

Motorists driving on Interstate 15 Tuesday afternoon ran into a storm of blowing paper that slowed traffic near Sahara Avenue, just west of the Las Vegas Strip.

A box of paper fell off a truck and was hit by a Regional Transportation Commission bus, scattering the paper along the I-15 between the Sahara Avenue and Charleston Boulevard exits, Nevada Highway Patrol Trooper Jeremie Elliott said.

Police were helping clean up the mess, Elliott said.
