House Democrat Taken to Hospital After Hit-and-Run Car Crash

Kaptur’s office confirmed she remained “active, alert, and being treated for non-life-threatening injuries.” Zimmermann was also listed in stable condition.

“This morning 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,” her office said in a statement.

“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. She expressed her deep gratitude to the hundreds of constituents who have reached out and looks forward to returning to a full schedule soon,” Kaptur’s office added.

Police classified the incident as a “hit-skip” crash after the at-fault driver fled.

A witness told local media that the other driver was quickly picked up by a second vehicle and left the scene.

Both vehicles involved were impounded as evidence while investigators collected and processed information.
