Milk van loses load at Edgewater
On July 29, at 9:09 a.m., Columbia Valley RCMP was dispatched to a report of a diary van spilling milk on Highway 95 at Edgewater.
Police attended and spoke with the driver, who explained he was driving southbound and swerved to avoid a deer as he was entering the sharp curve at Edgewater.
In doing so, crates of milk pushed against his side door, (which doesn’t have a hold down pin, only a relatively flimsy fridge latch) and forced the door open, dropping the crates that were pushing on the door, reported Columbia Valley RCMP Cpl. Grant Simpson.
Police conducted traffic control to allow the driver to pick up his debris. The Ministry of Transportation and Highways was advised and attended to put something on the road as the milk made that sharp curve slippery.
Weather conditions were good as the sun dried the milk pretty quickly.
There was no damage to the truck and no collision, Simpson noted.
