A tanker truck carrying farm-fresh milk overturned Friday, dumping part of its cargo.

The truck, owned by O'Donnell Brothers Transportation Inc. of Quarryville, was carrying 42,000 pounds of milk when the trailer overturned on Spooky Nook Road at Prospect Road around 9:45 a.m.

About 2,000 pounds of milk and two gallons of Diesel fuel were spilled.

"More than likely speed was a factor," said West Hempfield police Cpl. Douglas Ober.

The driver, Jerry O'Donnell of Drumore, was not injured. Charges are pending while the accident remains under investigation, Ober said.

Spooky Nook Road was closed for about two hours while firefighters from West Hempfield Fire Company and Lancaster County Hazmat crews cleaned up the spill.

That's the 3rd milk truck accident in the last several weeks. A guy was seriously injured in May or June when he rolled a milk truck at Tanglewood Golf Course. Willow Street had one roll a few days ago, and now this one. That's kind of weird, I think...that's an awful lot of spilled milk!

Not really all that strange if they were all D.A. Landis trucks.

Probably because they do not have a very good track record? Or do people have that short of a memory?
