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

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.

Toledo Police Chief Michael Troendle said Sunday evening that the suspect remains at large but that detectives have made “significant progress” and are following several strong leads.

“I had a chance to speak with Representative Marcy Kaptur today, and we’re glad to hear she’s doing well. Our thoughts remain with her and Mr. Zimmermann as they recover,” Troendle stated.

“Our investigators continue to make progress on this case. I appreciate the work our investigators have put in today, as well as the cooperation we’ve received from members of the community. We’re committed to identifying the person responsible and ensuring they are held accountable,” Troendle added.

Troendle noted the fleeing driver is believed to be at fault and faces charges for causing the accident and leaving the scene.
