Ireland coaches Martin O'Neill and Roy Keane OK following car accident

Republic of Ireland boss Martin O'Neill and assistant Roy Keane were involved in a road traffic accident but not seriously hurt on Tuesday.

The Football Association of Ireland announced the incident in a post on its Twitter feed, and a team spokesperson confirmed all involved avoided serious injury and were able to return to the team hotel.

The FAI stated on Twitter: 

A spokesperson said O'Neill and Keane were accompanied by coaches Seamus McDonagh, Steve Guppy and Steve Walford at the time of the accident.

The worst any of the five suffered were minor injuries, the FAI confirmed, with the team doctor able to look after their scrapes.

The accident comes ahead of the Republic's Euro 2016 qualifying match against Scotland at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin.

The M50 motorway in Ireland runs in a C shape around much of Dublin.
