BREAKING: Freak Kildare road crash leads to major traffic hold-ups

There were significant delays along at least one major traffic route following a road accident at around noon in County Kildare.

It happened in the middle of the ring road, which connects Kilcullen Road with Newbridge Road in Naas and appeared to involve a car and a caravan.

Traffic was diverted away from the ring road causing significant congestion elsewhere with traffic being backed up from the town centre to the Kilcullen Road roundabout.

A section of the ring road was closed for a period as work began to clear the route of wreckage. It appears that the car was extensively damaged.

It was not immediately known if there were any injuries as a result of the collision.
