Emergency services are in attendance and gardai are warning motorists to expect delays in the area for several hours as a crane will be required to removed the articulated truck which partially crossed the central median of the motorway.
Five units of Limerick Fire and Rescue were initially deployed to the scene but three have since returned to Limerick Fire Station, Mulgrave Street.
Truck jacknifed on M7 #limerick Utter chaos. Is there any traffic management plan for this? No guards at the Tipperary road to direct traffic. Feel sorry for those stuck in it.
