Ohio Rep. Marcy Kaptur was hospitalized after she was involved in a car crash on Sunday in Toledo, according to police and her office.
Toledo police said officers responded to the area of Detroit Avenue and Central Avenue "for a hit-skip crash" just before 11 a.m. local time. Two people, including Kaptur, were taken to the hospital with injuries that are not life-threatening, police said.
"She is active, alert, and being treated for non-life threatening injuries," the Democrat's office said in a statement to CBS News. "She expressed her deep gratitude to the hundreds of constituents who have reached out and looks forward to returning to a full schedule soon."
A witness told CBS affiliate WTOL 11 that the other driver was picked up by another vehicle and fled the scene shortly after the crash.
