Multi vehicle crash on R188

Motorists urged to drive safely.

Gardaí and other emergency services attended the scene of a multi vehicle accident that occurred on the R188 Cavan to Cootehill Road this morning.

The accident between two vehicles happened at Cavanrainey, Drung sometime before 9am.

The road has now fully reopened to traffic.

With a sharp drop in temperatures overnight and heavy frost motorists are being asked to take care whilst driving.

Cavan County Council and other local authorities use a cold weather alert system, Ice Cast, to predict when roads may become icy.

The council uses about 90 tonnes of salt in a night’s salting, which covers about 500km of the county’s national and regional road network.
