A garda vehicle has been involved in a six vehicle collision in Dublin.

It happened on the Cromwellsfort Road, Walkinstown, Dublin 12, at around 11.20am on Sunday, February 1st, and involved five cars and a van.

One of the cars involved was an official garda vehicle.

A number of people were taken to hospital from the scene to be treated for non life threatening injuries.

In cases where serious injury or loss of life occurs in crashes, or any other incidents, involving Garda members the cases must be referred to Fiosrú, formerly the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission, for investigation.

However, it was not immediately clear whether the crash in Walkinstown on Sunday was serious enough to warrant a referral to the Garda oversight agency for independent review, The Irish Times reported.
