Rep. Marcy Kaptur was treated for non-life-threatening injuries after the vehicle she was riding in was struck in Toledo, her office said. The office said she was alert and hoped to return to her full schedule soon.
Kaptur was a passenger in a vehicle headed to a church service when it was struck Sunday morning, according to a statement from her office. The office said she was active and alert, and that medical professionals were helping those involved. Toledo police were investigating, but the department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The House was on summer recess, so Kaptur was not expected in Washington that week. She is running in a rematch against former state Rep. Derek Merrin for her closely watched seat; the article notes that she narrowly avoided an automatic recount in 2024.
