All 10,000 gallons of milk in the truck spilled into the roadway, along with diesel fuel from the truck, according to the Auburn Fire Department
A tanker truck full of milk has rolled over in Auburn, Massachusetts, causing major traffic delays.
The crash occurred on Route 12 westbound at Interstate 90, the Massachusetts Department of Transportation said.
The ramp from Route 12 to I-90/I-290 was closed.
All 10,000 gallons of milk in the truck spilled into the roadway, along with diesel fuel from the truck, according to the Auburn Fire Department.
Drivers are urged to seek alternate routes.
No use crying over spilled milk.
In a few days the highway will smell putrid.
New England’s cats celebrate.
Will you be there to verify that? No it will not, it will be beneficial to all greenery in the area.
An udder waste.
Lol!
those cats will adopt truck driver next.
the news media will milk this story for all its worth
I see what you did there. ;-)
I hope those involved in the crash are okay. They left the most important detail out, so hopefully all is well.
“… it will be beneficial to all greenery in the area.”
Does that include the local fungi?
I have seen much spilled milk in the past as a dairy farm worker and driver (lots of stories), and just one cup can look like a gallon if you try to was it down.
Milk plus diesel fluid? I’m guessing they will need to throw several bales of hay on the street surface, along with sand then scoop it all up with snow plows
.
Literally it is costly. The worst was when a worker was unloading a small tanker of cream (and their is lots of $ in the cream), and used a piece of hose to keep a horizontal diverter valve in the correct position to unload while he went upstairs for coffee, only to come back later to discover the hose slipped off and the diverter valve sent the cream went down the drain. Along with the profits.
Yes, unfortunately, I will not be there............
Someone suggested that tons of Special K would sop it right up, and some addled locals brought out all their ketamine.
Don’t cry for me Auburn.....
Stop! Some of us are lactose joke intolerant.
