Four people were hospitalised after a lorry overturned in a horror crash with a car this afternoon.
The shocking smash took place on the Platin Road in Duleek near Drogheda at 3:30pm today.
Pictures from the scene show the vehicle tipped on its side with a grey Ford car wedged under the cab of the lorry.
A number of other vehicles, including other lorries can be seen stopped nearby.
It's understood the fuel was leaking from the lorry following the incident.
The front of the lorry was flipped open with the engine on display.
AA Roadwatch say the road was partially blocked earlier today between the roundabouts at J8 Duleek and J9 Drogheda following a collision. Traffic is slowing in the area.
At least two ambulances attended the scene, a source said.
A garda spokesperson said: "Gardaí are investigating a road traffic collision involving a lorry and car that occurred in the Platin Road area of Duleek on 15/06/2020 at 3:30pm.
