One man received serious leg injuries in a three-vehicle pile-up which saw the Curragh Line closed to traffic for four hours on Tuesday.
The accident occurred when a van and an oil lorry were involved in a head-on collision at Carrowbrowne at around 11.30am on Tuesday. A car also became involved in the collision.
