Gardaí have lifted restrictions that were imposed on the M50 motorway this morning after a crash that left four teenagers injured.

A car carrying three men and a woman, all of whom are in their late teens, went out of control at around 2.00am.

All four were taken to Tallaght hospital; none of their injuries are thought to be life-threatening.

The northbound carriage of the motorway was closed for several hours between the Sandyford-Dundrum junction and the Firhouse exit. The situation has now returned to normal.
