Crane called in to remove overturned truck causing lane blockages in both directions on the N7

A crane is being called in to remove an overturned truck on the N7 that is causing major traffic delays this afternoon.

The truck collided with a barrier in the middle of the road and landed on its left side shortly before 2.30pm this afternoon on the N7 Inbound near J5 Athgoe.

The truck has caused blockages on both sides of the N7, with both the central and right lane on the inbound stretch being closed, along with the right lane on the N7 Outbound.
