The scene of the collision on the M7
Traffic is returning to normal following a road accident on the M7 motorway this lunchtime.
The single-vehicle accident happened at around 1.15pm on the southbound carriageway between junction 29 (Ballysimon) and junction 30 (Dooradoyle).
While there are no reports of any serious injuries, the road remains was closed for several hours with some motorists reporting long delays.
