LAKE WORTH BEACH, Fla. (WFLA) — Traffic is moo-ving again after a crash caused thousands of gallons of milk to spill on a Florida highway.
A Borden milk truck crashed on Interstate 95 near Lake Worth Beach just after midnight on Jan. 28.
Photos posted to social media by Palm Beach County Fire Rescue showed an estimated 4,160 gallons of milk strewn across the northbound lanes.

11 people were looked over by paramedics after the crash, but none required hospitalization.
The mess required a legen-dairy cleanup. It took three hours to remove the mess from the busy highway.
“All puns aside, We are glad that nobody was hurt, and the roadway was ready for this morning’s commute,” the fire department wrote.
I was sitting in my favorite watering hole sucking up a beer a man came in and said “Does anybody want wanted to make $20 an hour?” One other guy and I raised our hands and said sure. Twenty bucks an hour was pretty good money then. He wrote on an address on a napkin and said meet me here in a half an hour and I said okay, I was up for it. So I drove to the spot and there was a beer delivery truck that had crashed and spilled all the bottles. Turns out the job was counting beer caps and trying not to get cut. Made a hundred bucks cash in the ‘70s, which was pretty good money.
😜
At-2:20 am my dad got home from work and dragged me outta bed on a school night so I could help him salvage fire bricks in the pouring sleet because a tractor trailer fell over on top of the mountain.
I got paid nothing.

* it was marginally better than going to the orchard to catch night crawlers in the rain to start a worm farm in the basement.
I had an interesting childhood.
It seems we’ve rumemnated enough to cover most of the jokes now.

Take the ordeal by the horns.
