Reports of a collision between a car and truck on the N7 as traffic grinds to a halt

An accident on the N7 Outbound has brought traffic leaving Dublin to a halt this evening.

As rush hour traffic begins to build, the N7 has been reduced to just two lanes at the most near J2 Kingswood following a reported collision between a truck and a car.

Traffic is at a near standstill on approach to the incident and delays are being felt as far back as the M50 where cars are now queuing to get onto the ramp up to J9 to get onto the N7.

The middle lane on the N7 in that area is currently blocked, though it hasn't been confirmed if the other two lanes are fully opened at the minute.
