Emergency services rushed to the scene of a collision this afternoon which saw a large HGV truck roll over onto its side in north Dublin.
Dublin Fire Brigade was alerted to the scene earlier this afternoon, with firefighters from Phibsborough and North Strand responding to the collision. Pictures shared by DFB shows the huge truck flipped over onto its side on the road.
Taking to social media, Dublin Fire Brigade said that due to their size HGvs can require specialised equipment to remove them from a scene. They said: "Firefighters from Phibsborough and North Strand fire stations responded to a roll over HGV collision today.
