Officers responded to a report of a collision involving multiple vehicles on northbound Highway 880 north of state Highway 237 around 9:10 p.m. Tuesday night, California Highway Patrol officials said.

Arriving officers learned two separate accidents occurred in the area, CHP Officer Damian Cistaro said.
