Firefighters attended a two car collision on the Kildare/Carlow border this morning.
Crews from Baltinglass Fire Station and Carlow Fire Station worked to remove a casualty from one car.
The incident took place on the Castledermot to Carlow Road (R448) near Barnhill.
The route between Castledermot and Junction 4 on the M9 was closed to traffic but later reopened.
Icy conditions remain in many parts of the country. AA Roadwatch said that if making an essential journey, keep in mind that it can take up to ten times longer to stop a vehicle in snow or ice, so reduce your speed and keep manoeuvres gentle.
