Gardaí have issued a statement asking people to refrain from sharing pictures and video of yesterday afternoon's fatal M50 accident on social media.

A woman in her thirties died and a man was injured.

Since then, graphic pictures and videos of the accident have been circulating, taken by people on their phones.
