A recent milk truck crash in Florida resulted in some "udderly" devastating consequences.

About 4,160 gallons of milk was spilled when a Borden delivery truck collided with three other vehicles on Interstate 95 in Palm Beach County just after midnight on Wednesday, according to a social media post by Palm Beach County Fire Rescue.

Officials told local affiliate WPTV News there was a small diesel fuel leak from a saddle tank that was quickly stopped. Eleven people were evaluated at the crash site, but none appeared to have suffered any serious injury or required medical attention.

Christopher Bookout hit some traffic on his way home from work, telling Ark Media he was stunned by the sight of numerous milk cartons scattered along the roadway.

Bookout captured the unusual aftermath of the crash on video, which you can check out below.

'Cream-mergency'

"All puns aside, We are glad that nobody was hurt, and the roadway was ready for this morning's commute," Palm Beach County Fire Rescue wrote in the post.

It took officials, with the help of a skid-steer, three hours to clean up the roadway after "this "Cream-mergency!" WPTV News reported. The cause of the crash was not immediately available.

The Florida Highway Patrol did not immediately respond to Paste BN's request for comment on Tuesday evening.
