UPDATE: Emergency services called to three crashes in Limerick in less than an hour

IT IS a busy start to the day for Limerick Fire Service and emergency personnel, as they responded to three separate collisions in the city this Tuesday morning. 

The Mulgrave Street crew are at the scene of a triple vehicle collision on Ballysimon Road, a triple vehicle collision on the M7, and are at the scene of a double vehicle crash in Castletroy, all three occurring within an hour of each other. 

As a result of the M7 crash, the motorway is closed northbound between between J30 Rosbrien and J29 Ballysimon as emergency services deal with two crashes in the area.
