Overturned oil tanker closes motorway

23/04/2005 - 17:03:16
An oil tanker has over turned on the M9 in Co Kildare this afternoon after it was involved in a collision with another vehicle.

There are so far no reports of injuries but an oil spill resulting from the crash, which occurred at about 4pm, has forced the gardaí to close the northbound lanes between Kilcullen and the M7.

Traffic is being diverted through Kilcullen to Naas, or through the Curragh and the close section of motorway may not be opened until tomorrow.
