HONOLULU, Dec. 10 (UPI) -- A spokesman for the Gap said eight boxes of women's undergarments bound for the store apparently fell off of a truck and covered a Hawaiian highway.

The ladies' undergarments were first reported by motorists on the H-1 Freeway in Honolulu during commuting hours Monday morning, KITV-Honolulu reported Wednesday.

A Gap store manager at the Pearlridge shopping center initially speculated the items might be related to a theft two weeks ago at the location. However, company officials said they later discovered eight boxes of merchandise were missing from a Monday morning shipment and may have fallen from the delivery truck.

A spokesman for the delivery company employed by the store said the matter is being investigated.
