Cork city centre traffic jams as lorry is wedged on Richmond Hill

City centre traffic in Cork is reported to be heavy this morning as a lorry is currently blocking Richmond Hill and Hardwicke Street.
The cab and trailer came down Richmond Hill and have been unable to clear the close corner of Hardwicke St or reverse back up the hill, meaning both streets are now blocked, with traffic jammed in the city centre as a result.
It is not the first time that a truck or lorry has become wedged at the tight junction, with some locals blaming Google Maps for sending unwitting drivers of heavy vehicles down the narrow Richmond Hill.
Gardai are directing traffic at the scene and diversions are in place.
The vehicle is not expected to be cleared for at least an hour, meaning drivers are advised to avoid the area.
