Don't cry over spilt milk...right?

A Welsh river has turned white after a milk tanker overturns and spilled the dairy contents into the water.

The River Dulais in Llanwrda, Carmarthenshire has turned white after the incident.

Images and videos posted on Twitter show the milky water cascading over a small waterfall.

According to SkyNews, the Natural Resources Wales said:

"An unknown quantity of milk has entered the River Dulais today following a RTC (road traffic accident) that involved a milk tanker which had left the road."

They have also said that the event has caused "significant discoloration".

The incident happened on Wednesday and the NRW have said that the river is now clear.

They said:

"The river is now clear. There is no evidence of dead fish to date & NRW officers are continuing to assess & monitor the impact."
