They are also asking anyone who was travelling in either direction on the M50 around that time and who have footage, including dash cam footage, to make it available to gardaí.
Part of the motorway, at Junction 6 Blanchardstown, was closed for around six hours while emergency services attended the incident and Garda Forensic Collision Investigators carried out an examination of the scene.
