M50 closed southbound at J7 this morning after serious crash

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.
