At approximately 12.55pm, a car travelling northbound flipped over the central barrier around 300m from J27 onto the southbound stretch of road.
The M7 is closed southbound between J26 Nenagh West and J27 Birdhill due to a collision involving said vehicle.
The northbound carriageway is down to one lane due to a separate collision at J27.
