It is not known at this time how many vehicles were involved, or the extent of injuries suffered, if any, by those travelling in the vehicles.
One local told Limerick Live that traffic is being diverted from the motorway through Patrickswell village.
"It's bumper to bumper - traffic chaos. Traffic is backed up all the way to the Croom turn-off. It is absolutely rotten driving conditions," they said.
TII advises: "When approaching the collision location, reduce your speed and drive with caution."
An Garda Siochana have been contacted for comment.
