Toppled tanker spills milk in Miami County

Somebody's crying over spilled milk

FLETCHER, Ohio (WDTN) - A semi pulling from a driveway with a load of milk ended up on its side in a ditch north of Fletcher in Miami County on Wednesday.

A tractor-trailer filled to near its 8000 gallon capacity tipped over when the driver got too close to a steep ditch as he pulled from a driveway after a pickup on Burr Oak-New Hope.

The driver was uninjured but the truck was leaking both diesel fuel and raw milk into the ditch close to a soy bean field.

Another milk truck was called in order to pump as much of the tanker contents as possible before a tow truck can put the tanker back onto its wheels.
