SOUTH BEND — A stretch of Douglas Road that connects South Bend to Mishawaka was closed for approximately two hours Tuesday following a serious accident.

Police officers say two cars collided on Douglas between State Road 23 and Grape Road around 9:30 a.m. because of slick road conditions. One of the cars slammed into a power transformer, knocking it over onto the windshield of the car.

The driver complained of back pain after the accident.

That stretch of Douglas was closed to traffic while the power company fixed the transformer. It was reopened about 11:30 a.m.
