Emergency services were called to the scene with Dublin Fire Brigade saying it had sent units from both Tallaght and Dolphin’s Barn.

Two lanes were blocked following the crash but the area has now been cleared.

A second collision, however, on the same side of the motorway near junction 6 occurred shortly afterwards and delays from both crashes should be expected.
