TRAFFIC: Delays Grow On The M50 As A Crash Forces All Traffic Into The Hard Shoulder

If you use the M50 to get home from work, and were planning on getting home nice and early this evening, your plans may have been thwarted.

A two-car collision has taken up almost the entire road at the off-ramp on Junction 6 (Blanchardstown/N3) – and only the hard shoulder is currently accessible.

It wasn't the only incident on the M50 today, as Gardaí were earlier on the scene of a single-vehicle collision on the motorway.
