An accident this morning near the corner of Hickory Road and Edison Road in Mishawaka involved seven cars, and put two people in the hospital in critical condition.

Police say a woman was heading north on Hickory Road around 9:30 this morning, traveling at a high rate of speed, when she clipped one car and kept going.

She then hit two more cars, severely damaging one.

The driver continued, hitting two more cars before colliding head-on with a third.

One of the people in the hospital was in the car that caused the damage.

Police think the driver may have been driving fast because she was having a seizure or a heart attack.

Traffic is being re-routed through the Cinemark Movies 14 parking lot and the Family Dollar parking lot.

Police expect the intersection to be closed for several more hours while the accident is cleaned up.
