Traffic On The N7 Has Slowed To A Crawl After A Minor Incident – Because People Are So Bloody Nosey

As if a crash on one of the country's main roads wasn't bad enough on a Sunday evening, you can always count on Irish drivers to make it that little bit worse.

The incident took place just before Junction 7 on the M7 in towards Dublin

It's before junction 7 - Kill. Right lane blocked just opposite petrol station at Goffs!

But what was otherwise a minor incident was made a whole lot worse...

Thanks to the inherent nosiness of Irish people.

Collision at side of road on #m7 and yet there's a backlog of 10 mins because people are nosey. This country ???? @aaroadwatch

Again, people, as if it needs saying: rubbernecking really doesn't help anyone.

Thankfully, no injuries have been reported – and the incident has since been cleared from the roadway.
