Ohio Rep. Kaptur treated for non-life threatening injuries after a car accident in Toledo

Ohio Representative Marcy Kaptur, 80, is being treated for non-life-threatening injuries following a car accident in Toledo on Sunday morning. Her office stated she was a passenger in a vehicle that was struck while en route to a church service. Kaptur is reported to be active and alert and anticipates a swift return to her full schedule. The House is currently in summer recess, so her presence in Washington was not expected this week. First responders from the Toledo police and fire departments were on the scene, and medical professionals provided care. Kaptur's office is awaiting further information from the Toledo Police Department as they investigate the incident.
