The scene of the road traffic incident on the N21
EMERGENCY services are at the scene of a road traffic incident on the N21 between Newcastle West and Rathkeale this Monday afternoon.
A lorry left the road in the single vehicle incident. Garda and Limerick Fire and Rescue Service have responded.
A garda spokesperson said no injuries have been reported at this time.
"Both lanes remain open at this time. Gardaí are assisting with traffic management.
"As this is an ongoing incident no further information is available at this time," said a garda spokesperson.
There are long tailbacks on the N21 and motorists are advised to avoid the area where possible.

Status Yellow weather warning remains in place for the entire country. A Status Yellow Snow-Ice warning remains valid until noon on Tuesday, and a Status Yellow Low Temperature/Ice warning is in place until 00:00 on Friday.
The ongoing wintry conditions and low temperatures will mean snow may be very slow to clear, and will continue to cause hazardous travelling conditions and potential travel disruption.
Keith Leonard, National Director of the National Directorate for Fire and Emergency Management, continued to emphasise the public safety advice: “We will continue to see wintry showers and extremely cold temperatures over the coming hours and days, and hazardous travel conditions will continue for much of the week.
"Given the prevalence of extremely low temperatures throughout the country over the next few days, road and path surfaces will present a hazard to drivers, cyclists and pedestrians. Even where there has been no snow, icy conditions will prevail and surfaces may look deceptively safe.
"Furthermore, it’s important to emphasise again that even where roads have been salted, people should slow down, drive with caution and allow extra time for their journey. Drivers travelling longer journeys should be aware of conditions right along their route, as conditions are differing widely across different parts of the country.
“As well as looking after yourself, we are also asking you to look out for others.
