A lorry tipped over following a crash today requiring specialised equipment from the fire brigade to clear the scene.
Emergency services rushed to the collision in north Dublin this afternoon which saw a large HGV truck roll over onto its side.
Dublin Fire Brigade was alerted to the scene, with firefighters from Phibsborough and North Strand responding to the collision.
Pictures shared by Dublin Fire Brigade show 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.
"Due to their mass and height, HGVs can require specialised equipment in the event of a collision. Our emergency tenders carry platforms to enable access at height for HGVs," they added.
Earlier this morning, Dublin Fire Brigade rushed to the scene of a car flipped onto its roof in south Dublin. The collision happened on Boherboy Road in Saggart this morning.
Pictures shared by Dublin Fire Brigade on social media show a wrecked car on its roof with broken glass scattered on the ground.
A spokesperson said: "The Boherboy Road in Saggart is currently closed following a roll over road traffic collision. The temporary closure will be lifted once recovery has taken place."
