N7 crash

fulmer1984 · 24-10-2013 06:47PM #1

apparently it was fatal?

Anyone caught up in the traffic madness?

Menas · 24-10-2013 06:48PM

I drove past it in the opposite direction at about five. Looked messy. Traffic backed up to the canal and going nowhere fast.

what stretch of the n7 did it take place?

a fatal accident on that road in rush hour is surprising

Aotearoa · 24-10-2013 06:50PM

About 2 miles past the redcow outbound. Not sure of the name of the stretch as not familiar with that road.

Yeah possibly. You don't see many cyclists on that road once the dark evenings come in though.

The road is closed so you could be stuck there a while.

Menas · 24-10-2013 06:56PM

Getting reported now.

They would want to seriously sort out this mess fast. I've been sitting here an hour and only moved about 500m.

RIP to anyone that died but the Gardai would seriously want to sort this out. They should be able to relieve this congestion much quicker.

Absolutely useless

Aye, come on guards, this fella needs to get home for his tea.

Aotearoa · 24-10-2013 07:00PM

I've always found that road dodgy at rush hour. in the morning i could drive in to work at 0500 at a good clip(in excess of the limit). i always found the road much more dangerous when as a collective we have to drive slower. people brake and then an accordion effect takes place of everyone jamming on.

SimonQuinlank · 24-10-2013 07:03PM

Live beside Newlands X and the traffic is stil crap outbound.

If it's a fatal crash the road will be closed for a good few hours more I'd say for the crash investigators etc.

Thought it was just the road works slowing things down

Get a grip. Would you be saying that if it was a relative of yours that just lost their life?

What's dangerous on that road are the terribly placed petrol stations.

Not long ago there was a guy killed at the petrol station at rathcoole, which is on a bend. Think it's an Esso.

As for the Apple Green, it's placed after a small uphill section on the road so once people see it they end up driving dangerously in order to make the exit.

anncoates · 24-10-2013 07:05PM

Not meaning to soapbox on the back of but I drive that road a lot. Always tons of muppets driving top speed a few feet behind the car in front.

It's a wonder there isn't
more crashes.

Agree about the petrol station near rathcoole. The slip is too short makes people brake.

It's not just a case of moving the cars and sweeping the road ffs. Someone died and they need to properly investigate what happened at the scene

Red_Dwarf · 24-10-2013 07:07PM

Im stuck in citywest. RIP to the person who died

:rolleyes: they have no propper redirection plan in place at all.

Apparently it was somebody trying to cross the road. RIP

Do you plan a protest at the deceased's funeral?

Someone died, there are loads of gardai and firebrigade at the scene.

Let them do their job properly, identify what happened and perhaps even help prevent it happening again.

RIP to the family of the victim.

Yes they do.

Traffic is being diverted to Tallaght and N4.

Not much you can do with the cars currently stuck on the red cow/citywest stretch.

SimonQuinlank · 24-10-2013 07:13PM

Southbound side between J2 and J3 could be closed til 11pm tonight according to the Gardai.

Gone Drinking · 24-10-2013 07:15PM

I feel desperately for someones family and friends tonight.

131spanner · 24-10-2013 07:18PM

Traveled that road two or three times recently enough for the All Ireland and dropping herself up to UCD. The rain and so many cars so close together makes visibility poor enough I thought.

RIP.

No rain this evening. Traffic was mayhem. I passed in the opposite direction and there was a hole in the windscreen of one of the cars, A3 I think. Figured it was pretty serious at that stage.
