There were delays at Ennis Road this Thursday morning I PICTURE: Nathan Keane
THERE were heavy delays on one of the key approaches into Limerick city centre this Thursday.
It came as a truck caught fire, with black smoke billowing high into the air above Ennis Road on the city's northside.
The incident took place at Union Cross, a crossroads where roads towards Ballynanty, the Sarsfield Bridge, Clare and the city centre converge.
