Thousands of gallons of milk spill onto Mass. Pike after tanker rollover

AUBURN, Mass — There’s no use crying over spilled milk.

That is, unless thousands of gallons of it are impacting your Saturday plans.

Officials say 10,000 gallons of milk spilled onto the Massachusetts Turnpike when a dairy tanker rollover on the Route 12 on-ramp in Auburn.
