The crash occurred Sunday morning in Ohio.
U.S. Representative Marcy Kaptur of Ohio and her driver were hospitalized after their car was struck in a hit-and-run near Toledo on Sunday.
The police department is investigating and stated, “The driver of the at-fault vehicle fled the scene.” Law enforcement is seeking information regarding the identity of the driver who ran from the scene of the crash. Both vehicles involved were impounded as part of the investigation.
Her congressional office stated, “Congresswoman Kaptur was a passenger in a vehicle on her way to a church service when the car she was traveling in was struck. She is active, alert, and being treated for non-life threatening injuries.”
“We look forward to additional information from Toledo Police as they investigate the accident. Congresswoman Kaptur is thankful for the quick actions of first responders from Toledo Police and Fire Departments who arrived promptly on scene, and the medical professionals helping to take care of those involved in the crash,” the statement continued. “She expressed her deep gratitude to the hundreds of constituents who have reached out and looks forward to returning to a full schedule soon.”
The 80-year-old congresswoman has served in the House of Representatives since 1983.

- For healing for Representative Kaptur and her driver, and for wisdom for their physicians.
- For members of law enforcement, fire departments, and other first responders as they seek to protect and serve each day.
