A traffic accident on Slievenamon Road (N62), Thurles this afternoon (August 10th 2023), close to the entrance to Liberty Square town centre, which occurred at approximately 4:00pm, once again brought the town to a standstill.

The accident involved two cars, both travelling in the same direction, with one vehicle being overturned.
Two ambulances together with Gardaí and three sections of Thurles fire brigade quickly attended the scene.
Thankfully, no injuries were reported and in the past half hour the overturned vehicle has been righted.
The road still remains closed, however, and traffic remains congested, particularly with vehicles coming from their places of work, from south of the town.
Drivers are advised to avoid the Thurles area until the roadway is reopened to normal traffic.
UPDATE: N62 Slievenamon Road Road has reopened to traffic.
VERY SAD
Thank God no one was seriously hurt.
