There were LARGE TRAFFIC DELAYS on the M7 after a truck with bales of straw collided with an overpass bridge.
After the incident at junction 10 Naas Ost this afternoon at around 2:20 p.m., traffic jams quickly on the northbound motorway a long traffic jam.
The traffic caused the GAA to postpone the All-Ireland Hurling semi-final between Limerick and Waterford by 30 minutes.
Rescue workers were on site and cleared the highway of straw. The road is now fully open again.
As you can see from the video, there are still delays in the direction of Dublin on the M7 Naas after a truck with bales of straw drives onto the bridge in front of J9a. The traffic behind Newbridge is delayed but it is now being cleared and traffic is moving again. # M7 Kaytlin pic.twitter.com/gMxlvdaDEn

The freeway is the main route to Croke Park for the Waterford and Limerick hurling fans traveling to the All Ireland semi-finals this afternoon.
Be careful as you get on # N7 before the new exit Kerry Group ride in Naas. A truck of hay hit the bridge and hay and parts of the bridge fell all over the road as well. Traffic is mental pic.twitter.com/nqMsVg6Kaj
