A 47-year-old woman is in a serious condition in hospital following a crash on Dublin's M50 in the early hours of this morning.
A section of the motorway was closed for seven hours after the early-morning crash.
The collision, involving two trucks and a car, at around 5.30am led to the closure of the Lucan exit and caused widespread traffic congestion across the capital.
The M50 southbound was closed for a time but has now fully reopened.
The woman driving the car was taken to hospital where she is in critical condition. The two male truck drivers, aged 33 and 47 were uninjured.
Gardaí are appealing for witnesses, particularly those who were travelling on the M50 Southbound between junctions 6, Blanchardstown and 9, Red Cow to contact them at Lucan Garda Station on 01-6667300, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666111 or any garda station.
They are also appealing to people who may have merged onto the M50 Southbound at the junction 7, Lucan via the N4 Eastbound/Westbound between 5am and 5.45am to contact them.
