A truck overturned on a slip road to the M50 in Dublin on Saturday morning, resulting in a road closure.

Emergency services attended the scene at the slip road from the Naas Road N7 to the M50 southbound.

The road was closed for a time and reopened at about 10.30am, according to gardaí, after the truck was turned upright and towed.
