Tanker truck wreck spills milk in Murray

North Fourth Street in Murray was closed for a lengthy amount of time after a tanker truck carrying milk overturned, spilling the milk.

According to the Murray Police Department, the single-vehicle crash happened just before 11:30 p.m. on Sunday, when the back end of the tanker truck slid out to the side, causing a portion of the truck to travel into the northbound lane and up an embankment before rolling.

No injuries were reported in the collision, but milk did spill into the roadway, closing it until nearly 11:30 a.m. the next morning as crews worked to clean the spill. 

The Murray Police Department was assisted on scene by Calloway County Emergency Management and Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District 1 State Highway Department.
