Big accident and fire at the junction of the M1 and M50 6 lanes down to 1 so I guess big traffic jams

Accidents plural (couldn't count how many) and what looked like a Garda chase with a forced stop. One car which was not involved in the main crash was smoking when I passed earlier - seems this went up in flames shortly after.

Maybe a bit more then just the crash as alluded to as there were Garda cars bombing into the long term car park beside ALSAA when I was leaving work this evening and the chopper was subsequently hoovering above the Airways Industrial Estate minutes afterwards... The chopper is currently circling around Finglas, Ballymun and Glasnevin North and has been for a bit...

Cars just parked on the centre reservation to watch.

I dunno what the hell has been going on today. Our house and few others got broken into this morning. I live just on the border outside Dundalk. The police phoned about two hours ago saying they detained two men South of the border. Haven't heard anything since.

Not saying it was related to the Dublin chase but who knows!

On the 06:35 flight to Bristol in the morning out of Dublin. Better get to sleep!

Sorry to hear that DOR.

It's probably related. They pursued it towards Dublin coming from the North. You'll find out soon enough.

wonder if people missed their flights due to this?

Anyone know why the Air Corps 135 and 139 are both circling around Charlestown?
