A loaded milk truck<\/strong> belonging to Straus Family Creamery of Marshall overturned along Highway 1 just north of Nicks Cove today. The Highway Patrol reported the accident happened at 8:50 a.m.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The 270-degree rollover occurred when the long tanker-truck, which was southbound, encountered a northbound vehicle on a tight curve, members of the county fire department and Straus family told me. The truck came to a stop with a pair of its dual rear wheels off the pavement, the firefighter said.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The truck was still upright when the driver got out, but it then rolled over, the firefighter added. No one was hurt in the accident.<\/p>\n

The property on which the truck landed is part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, and a small amount of milk spilled out of the tanker’s hatch.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In a serendipitous irony<\/strong>, however, the spilled milk didn’t go very far, let alone down to Tomales Bay a short distance below the curve.<\/p>\n

Straus Creamery uses rice hulls for bedding in the cows’ stalls, and in 2003, a truck heading to the dairy ranch ran off the same curve and spilled a load of hulls. The decision at the time was to leave the hulls on the ground since they weren’t doing any harm.<\/p>\n

When milk began leaking from the overturned tanker-truck today, it was immediately absorbed by the old rice hulls. Here a cleanup worker shovels more hulls under the leak.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
