The M9 is closed both ways between Carlow and Athy exits due to "an incident", - strange its closed both ways. Anyone know what happened?

Gardai say they will re-open the M9 fully as soon as it is safe to do so.

An articulated lorry jack-knifed across the centre of the motorway early this morning, leading to disruption across both sides of the road.

The driver escaped uninjured and the road is currently closed from junction 3 Athy/Ballitore to junction 6 Leighlinbridge, north and southbound.

The clean up of an oil spillage is currently underway and diversions are in place.

Thanks Rameire, lucky that no-one was killed or injured.
