July 15 (UPI) -- A tractor-trailer hauling a load of milk overturned in New York's Columbia County, resulting in what the local sheriff's office described as a "significant spill."
Columbia County Sheriff Donald J. Krapf said in a social media post that investigators are probing the cause of the single-vehicle crash at the intersection of Gahbauer Road and State Route 217 in Claverack.
"The tractor-trailer, which was hauling milk, overturned on its side, resulting in a significant spill," the sheriff's office said.
The clean-up operation involved New York State Police, the Columbia County Haz-Mat Team, a Department of Environmental Conservation Response Team and the Mellenville and Ghent Fire Companies.
The milk truck's driver was taken to Albany Medical Center for evaluation.
Well....there’s no use crying.
“.....and there is hamburger all over the road in Mystic Connecticut.....”
That’s not kosher!.................
How can you be in two places at once when you’re not anywhere at all?
It was so deep it was past your eyes!”
Anyone who lives around dairy country knows how this happened.
Send in the EPA to burn the spill.
One of the classics
That soured it for me.
I had seen this picture before & it was the first thing that popped into my mind when I read the story.
As doorgunner69 said, it's a classic.
I once came upon a wreck of a tanker truck full of pancake syrup.
It was a real sticky situation.......................
