Rep. Marcy Kaptur, a Democratic U.S. congresswoman from Ohio, is hospitalized after a vehicle crash near Toledo that local authorities describe as a hit-and-run. Multiple reports say Kaptur was a passenger in a vehicle traveling to a church service on Sunday morning when the car was struck.
Kaptur’s office states she was not the driver and that she was on her way to the church when the incident occurred. Fox News and The Hill report that her injuries are not life-threatening, and both note that she is conscious and being treated for non-life-threatening injuries. The Hill adds that Kaptur is “active” and “alert” while receiving medical care.
Local police are reported to be investigating the crash, including the circumstances around the “hit-skip” description used by some outlets, and whether the other vehicle fled the scene. Further details about the cause of the crash, the identity of the other driver, and any charges have not been reported in the provided accounts.
