Motorists have been sharing pictures on social media of the animals lined up on the side of the road. https://twitter.com/kwheartbreakkid/status/1020730296243834881 It appears that all the horses survived and are well, although one photographed shared by the Dublin M50 Twitter account showed blood on the road. 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.
