An entire section of the M50 motorway was shut this morning after a massive crash left debris scattered across the major road.
A truck overturned at Junction 9 Northbound at the Red Cow, but the damage done meant that the road was closed all the way back to Junction 11 Tallaght.
The AA say that a number of routes are experiencing delays as a result:
- Traffic is very heavy from before J12 Firhouse through to J11, where traffic is being diverted via the N81.
- The on-ramp from the Naas Rd outbound onto the M50 at J9 is also closed, but traffic can join the motorway at J9 via the on-ramp from the N7 inbound.
Garda reduced the road to just one lane at the Red Cow as a result of the incident but it remains closed between Junction 9 and Junction 11.
A garda spokesperson said: "Gardai are currently at the scene of a collision at Junction 9 Northbound on the M50.
"A vehicle overturned on the N7 slip road and moved onto the M50.
"One lane of traffic is currently in operation at Junction 9."
AA Roadwatch have said that currently slow on the J6 Blanchardstown off-ramp towards the collision.
