The crash occurred on the M7.N7 eastbound between J9 Naas (North) and J8 Johnstown (Johnstown).

Lane one and two has been affected.

And traffic bosses posted an update on social media warning that the hard shoulder is also closed.

Posting on X, they said: “Incident Update: Collision on M7 between J09 – NAAS and J08 – JOHNSTOWN (Eastbound) Lanes affected: Hard Shoulder.”

Drivers were told that delays will occur and that they should consider a different route.

But they should be warned that alternative routes can also become congested due to the heavy volume of diverted traffic.

Traffic bosses warned: “Delays to your journey will occur. Consider a different journey route or start time.

“When approaching the collision location, drive with caution, reduce your speed and obey instructions from emergency services.”

Elsewhere in the country, road users have been warned of delays on a busy motorway.

The M1 is a continuation of the busy M50 motorway and connects parts of Dublin city centre to areas further afield.


This morning, the thousands of commuters who use the road ever day have been urged caution following a breakdown.

Traffic bosses reported the breakdown of a heavy goods vehicle at the roundabout at junction two.

Lane two is affected.

They said: “When approaching the breakdown location, reduce your speed and drive with caution.

“Minor delays to your journey may occur.”

CLEAN UP

But the rest of the road is clearer than usual this morning following the clear up of two earlier incidents.

Hours ago, a vehicle breakdown was reported on the M1 near Junction Two at Dublin Airport.

Lane two was affected by the incident.

And in a separate location, there was debris on the road causing delays to traffic.

This occurred on the red M50 southbound slip to N7.

Both incidents have been cleared up, leaving the motorway mostly quiet and with mo major delays.

There are no reports of major incidents on roads elsewhere in the country.
