If you usually use the M50 for your commute or school run, we’re afraid you’ll have to steer clear this morning after a serious accident. The road is closed southbound at J7 Lucan and will remain so for a number of hours, possibly until midday. Traffic is extremely heavy on the M50, affecting both the N4 and M1, after a collision involving a car and two trucks.
