1,000 Gallons Of Milk Spills Onto NY Thruway
HILLBURN, N.Y. (AP) ―
New York state police say that they're not crying -- or issuing tickets -- over a tractor-trailer crash that spilled more than 1,000 gallons of milk onto a highway ramp.
Milk and diesel fuel spilled onto the road and into the Mahwah River in Hillburn when the tanker overturned Sunday afternoon on a state thruway ramp heading toward Interstate 87. The driver suffered a minor concussion and was treated at a hospital.
Crews trained to handle hazardous materials cleaned up the spill, and the ramp was closed for about eight hours. State police say no tickets will be issued.
