SNOW was causing havoc on Limerick’s roads this Wednesday with overnight falls making driving treacherous.
The icy conditions are being blamed for a number of early morning incidents. Emergency services were called to a collision on the M7 near the Tipperary exit, where a
truck and two cars collided around 7.30am.
In Barna, just outside Newcastle West had some of the worst conditions, with two trucks having to be abandoned.
There was a minor collision involving a truck on the Killarney side of Abbeyfeale around 6am on Wednesday morning. The driver was not seriously injured.
A car was involved in a crash around 7am on the road between Boher and Cappamore. There were no serious injuries.
Many areas of neighbouring Clare were under a heavy blanket of snow also, making driving conditions treacherous.
And the town of Killaloe, Sixmilebridge, Tulla and Lahinch and surrounding areas were with power from late on Tuesday night. There were up to 800 homes affected.
