A spillage of milk bottles led to the closure of a section of one of the major routes into Southampton city centre.
Hampshire fire service said about 1,000 litres of milk came off the lorry on the A3024 at Bursledon.
The service said it had sent its Hazard Area Response Team to the scene to prevent the milk from getting into nearby watercourses.
The road has since reopened between the Windhover Roundabout and the B3033.
Drains were blocked to contain the milk on the road and vacuum tankers were used to remove the milk from ditches to stop it getting into the watercourse.
Mike O’Neill, from the Environment Agency said: "Milk has a big environmental impact because its so high in nutrients.
"Bugs in the water use the oxygen to break those down and then there’s no oxygen for the fish.
“If the milk had got into the river, it would have been a really significant incident.”
The driver of the 44-tonne lorry is not believed to be injured.

I bet the firemen will milk that for a bit of overtime.

No need to cry about it. :unamused:

I bet they had a cup of tea after

Should have breathalyserd the driver I suspect he’d had a few pints,
When firemen were asked how deep the milk was in the ditch they said it was
Just pasturised (past your eyes)
Most probably an agency driver, semi skimmed

I bet the local cats will be lapping it up.
