Poultry lorry overturns on N55
Crash happened on N55 near the Cavan-Longford border.
A clean up operation is currently under way after a 40 foot lorry carrying poultry overturned on the N55 near the Cavan-Longford border.
Gardaí are at the scene of the truck crash which happened earlier this morning, leaving crates of live chickens strewn on the road.
A crane was subsequently dispatched to the scene, where attempts are underway to right the overturned vehicle.
The road, the main connection between Cavan and Granard, remains open to traffic, however delays are expected with a stop-go system in place as the clean up continues.
Other lorries are now also at the scene to reload the cargo.
