Queen St in Dublin has reopened following an earlier crash between a vehicle and a Luas tram.

However, Luas Red Line services are still running only between Tallaght and Blackhorse.

The Luas operator, Veolia Transport, had said it expected to resume a full service later this evening .

The accident happened on the Red Line at the Queen Street junction just after 3.30pm when a van collided with a tram.

The tram driver was taken to hospital as a precaution but all passengers escaped unhurt.

Queen Street, which is in Dublin's north inner city, was closed off after the collision.
