Major delays on Limerick-Clare road after collision

The collision caused delays back to Junction 4 Cratloemoyle and back to the Limerick Tunnel.

One eyewitness said cars were "parked" on the road back to the Radisson Blu Hotel.

While the scene of the accident has been cleared, crews from Clare County Council are working to clear the flood water. Units from Shannon Fire Station are also in attendance. 

AA Roadwatch said: "One lane reopened n/bound between J5 Cratloe and J6 Bunratty following a collision. Delays are back to J4 Cratloemoyle."
