N65 closed outside Killimor due to overturned truck

Update: The road has since completely re-opened.

The N65 outside Killimor on the Loughrea side is closed this afternoon as emergency services remove an overturned truck.

AA Roadwatch reports that the accident took place on a bend three km from Killimor on the Loughrea side of the village just after 11am.

Gardaí are attending the scene of the accident and diversions are in place.

Traffic was flowing in one lane earlier, but the N65 has closed entirely to facilitate the removal of the truck.

Emergency services attended the scene but fortunately the driver of the truck was not seriously injured.
