Reporter this is a very sad Christmas Morning for at least several families here in the bay area. We are in front of what has been the scene for hours here on 880 south near southland mall.

M. , Christmas Eve, again, near 880 south near winton by the mall. Investigators arent giving specifics about the injuries or confirming if anyone has passed. I want to mention, however, right before our report we saw a coroners van transporting someone on 880 north passing the scene. It was followed by at least a dozen chp vehicles, lights on, but no sirens. Now, again, the chp is not confirming any deaths but it is clear this is a very solomon morning. Solemn morning.
