Police were soon called to a second collision on 80th Avenue/University Drive, just east of 216th Street.
A Nissan Pathfinder was travelling east on University Drive followed by an Audi. Just after crossing 216th Street, the Nissan slowed and made a U-turn to head back west on University Drive.
The Audi then collided with the rear driver side of the Nissan when it was halfway through its turn.
7:55 a.m.
The third collision occurred just south of Highway 1 on 216th Street at approximately 7:55 a.m.
A Chevrolet Volt facing south was waiting to turn left onto the eastbound on-ramp to Highway 1. Northbound traffic on 216th Street was heavily congested due to the first collision.
The Volt attempted to make its left turn and a Toyota Rav4 travelling north on 216th Street in the right lane collided with the Volt as it turned.
鈥淎t this point, investigation has determined these to be three separate collisions,鈥� van Herk said.
However, he noted that congested traffic may have played a part in the third collision but it was not the cause.
Traffic flow was reduced to an alternating single lane while crews cleared the scene.
No injuries were reported.
