A tragic head-on collision involving two cars on the M9 highway in Ireland has resulted in multiple fatalities and serious injuries. Commissioner Justin Kelly described the incident as "horrific," warning that some drivers are recklessly traveling on the wrong side of highways for likes on social media. The crash occurred around 3am on Sunday at junction 3, with one car traveling southbound on the northbound carriageway.
The wreck was visible on the motorway early Sunday morning. The female driver and front-seat passenger of the second car, both in their 30s, remain in critical condition at Tallaght University Hospital. The rear-seat female passenger, in her 20s, is in serious condition at St Luke’s General Hospital, while the third passenger, a child, is in serious condition at Children’s Health Ireland in Crumlin.
Police are investigating the circumstances and have appealed for witnesses. Commissioner Kelly expressed sympathy for the injured families, emphasizing the dangers of wrong-way driving, especially when motivated by social media attention.
