A semitrailer driver lost control of his vehicle after attempting a turn on a roundabout in Coopersville, which caused the tanker to roll over and spill its contents: 6,100 gallons of milk, WZZM reported.

The area was closed to traffic for approximately three hours while a crew cleaned up the mess, WZZM reported.

Editor's note: After the story's original publication, WZZM issued a correction regarding the amount of milk spilled. It was 6,100 gallons, not 61,000 gallons.
