Rep. Marcy Kaptur was treated for non-life-threatening injuries after a car she was riding in was struck in Toledo, according to her office. She was described as alert and expected to return to her schedule.
Kaptur’s office said she was a passenger traveling to a church service when the vehicle was struck Sunday morning. The office said she was active and alert and that medical professionals were helping those involved in the crash.
The House was on summer recess, so Kaptur was not expected in Washington that week. Toledo police had not immediately responded to an Associated Press inquiry; her office said it looked forward to additional information as police investigated.
