HOLLAND, Mich. — There was plenty of spilled milk on a Michigan interstate Friday.

Milk spilled out of a semitrailer when it overturned on Interstate 196 in western Michigan, shutting down traffic for several hours, The Detroit News reported.

The driver of the truck drifted from the road at about 9:30 a.m. in Holland Township, the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office said.

A hazmat crew responded to assist in cleaning up the spill, MLive reported. The tanker was righted after milk was transferred to a different truck, according to the website.

The sheriff’s office did not report how much milk was in the semitrailer, or how much was spilled, the News reported.
