TWO SEPARATE traffic incidents have occurred on a major Limerick motorway this Saturday afternoon, as the county is still under a Status Yellow rain warning.

Both occurred at approximately 3.30pm this Saturday, October 5, on the M20 southbound on the outskirts of Limerick city.

The first incident, involving just one vehicle, took place between Junction 3 Raheen and Junction 4 Patrickswell.

This incident was attended by two fire appliances from Limerick City Fire Station and one from Foynes, with only the hard shoulder affected.

The second incident, which was a collision between two vehicles, took place at Junction 05 Ballybronoge on the slip road from the M20 to the M21.
