No use crying over massive milk spill on Florida highway
The scene of udder madness included 4,160 gallons of spilled milk on the highway.

There was no use crying over it when a truckload of milk spilled onto a highway.
Palm Beach County Fire Rescue (PBCFR) was called to an unusual - and messy - accident on Wednesday (29 Jan).
They found the haulage vehicle's trailer crashed onto a roadside barrier at Lake Worth Beach, Florida, having spilled its load of milk cartons.
Thankfully, no one was injured but crews were left with a significant clean-up operation.
PBCFR shared their tongue-in-cheek report of the incident: "A milk truck had an 'udderly' unfortunate crash on I-95 last night just after midnight. 11 people were evaluated on scene. Thankfully they were uninjured and none of them needed to be 'moo-ved' to the hospital.
"We calculated that 4,160 gallons of milk were spilled across the northbound lanes at MM63! It took almost 3 hours to clean up after this 'Cream-mergency!'
"All puns aside, we are glad that nobody was hurt, and the roadway was ready for this morning's commute."
