Since then, a 29-year-old woman has been accused of illegally taking a motor vehicle, was unable to stop and drive recklessly.
She will appear at the Manukau District Court on Monday.
Rozaay Rose was shopping at the Velmar dairy when she heard the truck driver yell at her truck, which was being driven by a woman.
“I just saw the milk fall out of the back of the truck,” he said.
“It was all over the road and all over the parking lot. People were just pumping milk instead of helping the truck driver.”
The owner of Velmar Dairy said he still had milk in stock and that he had arranged a delivery from another location.
He believed the trucker was fine.
