Two-Hour Tailback Due To Overturned Car On The M50

Dublin traffic has ground to a halt as an overturned car at the Red Cow exit – the busiest junction on the city’s ring road – has caused serious tailbacks.

To add insult to injury, in the last hour a truck broke down, too, on the Navan Rd outbound to the M50, causing further delays on to the motorway.

If you’re already on the M50? Bad news – while Google maps are predicting a 41-minutes-longer-than-usual journey, reports on social media (from passengers, we hope #donttextanddrivekids) suggest that some poor feckers have been sitting in their steel boxes for up to two hours on the way to work.
