Gardai at scene of single vehicle collision at Kilbeggan bridge
A ROAD has been closed this morning in Tullamore after a single vehicle accident.


A Toyota hatchback crashed into a sign at the top of Clontarf Road beside the bridge.
The vehicle sustained significant damage at its front and remains turned on its side at the scene.


Gardai are on duty at both Kilbeggan bridge and further down Clontarf Road, close to the pedestrian bridge across the Grand Canal, turning approaching traffic away.
A garda photographer has also been taking pictures of the scene.
One resident of Clontarf Road said they heard a loud bang at about 6am. The fire service then went to the scene.
