Rescue operations had been going on throughout the day and the section of the motor way has been closed to traffic.

The decision to go ahead of the strike was announced by a union spokesman at the end of a meeting earlier this afternoon, during which government representatives failed to persuade the union and the employers to agree on a new wage plan.
