(Belknap Springs, OR) -- A tanker carrying milk on Highway 126 crashed near Belknap Springs and sent a thousand gallons of milk into a creek that flows into the Upper McKenzie River. Nearly 300 gallons of diesel also spilled. Containment booms were set up and officials don't believe the diesel or milk made it into the drinking water treatment plant for Eugene Water and Electric.
