Avoid the M50: Multiple lanes closed after two separate incidents
If you're about to travel home, avoid the M50 at all costs.
On a good day it's like a car park, but this evening, two separate incidents have taken place, blocking several lanes on the motorway.
On the M50 Northbound, traffic is down to one lane following a car crash.
The collision happened just after the J6 Blanchardstown turn off. Major delays have also been reported as tailbacks occur towards the J7 Lucan turn-off and J9 Red Cow turn-off.
