Spilled Milk

Some milk spilled when a semi and trailer overturned in Stearns County Wednesday morning.

The Sheriff’s Office says at just before 9am, they received a call of an over-turned semi and trailer on Mapleview Road, just north of the T-intersection of County Road 40.

The truck was registered to Krain Transportation out of Freeport and had was hauling about 6400 gallons of milk, some of which leaked out the top hatch.

Twenty-four-year-old Joshua Kulzer of Melrose said he was driving southbound on Mapleview Road when the tires of the tanker trailer got too close to the shoulder of the road and the tires caught the softer portion of the shoulder and pulled the rest of the truck off the roadway.

Kulzer was not injured.
