PICS: This Truck Caught Fire On The M50 Earlier Today

A truck caught fire on the M50 northbound this afternoon.

Emergency services rushed to the scene where the truck had managed to park on a hard shoulder between J5 (Finglas) and J6 (Blanchardstown).

The smoke that issued from the flaming vehicle reduced visibility for drivers using the motorway.
