GARDAÍ have called for people to show respect after images of a fatal Dublin collision were shared online.
A woman in her 30s died in the collision at around 11.30am today on the M50 northbound slip road at Junction 5 at Finglas.
The driver of a second car, a male in his 50s, was taken to Connolly Hospital with non life-threatening injuries.
A third car and a lorry also sustained minor damage.
While the slip road was closed for a forensic investigation, gardaí repeatedly urged motorists via social media to remain focused on their driving and not to slow down unnecessarily when passing the scene.
