A milk tanker carrying 5,000 litres of the white stuff caused traffic chaos when it overturned spilling its load at a roundabout.

The lorry had been on its way to Reinach, Switzerland, on 8th May when the 37-year-old driver lost control as its liquid load sloshed about in the tank while he was making a turn.

The motion pulled the lorry onto its side and as it hit the tarmac its seals burst spilling the entire load onto the road.

Post crash snaps show the entire street covered in milk, which firefighters had to hose away.

The road was closed for hours while police and firefighters cleared the blockage.

Police are investigating the crash.

One social media user laughed: "Imagine the smell."
