If you can avoid travelling on the M50 this afternoon, you’d be well advised to do so – two separate incidents have brought traffic to an absolute standstill, causing huge delays.
Both incidents occurred between junctions 5 (Finglas/Phibsboro) and 6 (Cabra, city centre), and emergency services are shortly expected on the scene to clear the route.
