Major delays were experienced for a time on Dublin's M50 this morning after a truck overturned.

Traffic is returning to normal after the incident at the Lucan exit on the southbound lane at about 1.30am.

Traffic was reduced to one lane between the toll plaza and the Lucan exit, and at one stage traffic was backed up to the J5 Finglas exit.

The truck was taken away, but a major diesel spill had to be treated afterwards.
