On Wednesday at approximately 6:30 p.m., Lethbridge and Picture Butte RCMP, along with Lethbridge fire and emergency services, responded to a two-vehicle collision on Highway 4, approximately three kilometres south of Lethbridge.

Highway 4 was impassible for approximately two hours and traffic was diverted, after a pick-up truck traveling southbound lost its load on the driving lanes of the highway, which resultedin traffic having to slow down. 
A maroon Saturn SL1 decreased its speed and was rear ended by a white Lincoln LS, which caused the Saturn SL1 to roll into the south ditch.  
The male driver of the Saturn was transported to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The female driver and male passenger of the Lincoln LS were also transported to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.  
Alcohol is not believed to be a factor, according to the RCMP.
The collision is still under investigation.
