On Twitter they were described by one witness as "shaken" but "doing well".

On Saturday evening, traffic was being diverted off at J12 - with the AA telling people avoid this section of the M50. "There are heavy delays on approach in both directions," it added.
One motorist added that "Northbound heavy from Sandyford with rubbernecking. Once past accident, traffic is flowing." Emergency services remain at the scene. The stretch of road will be closed until a crane arrives to move the truck.#DUBLIN Photo of the overturned truck on the M50.
