It is understood the bus had departed Letterkenny in Co Donegal at around 9.20am this morning.

There are believed to have been around 30 people on board the bus.

Gardaí and emergency services attended the scene and a section of the road was closed for a short time.

The road has since reopened in both directions and AA Roadwatch is advising motorists that traffic delays are improving in the area.
