Ohio Representative Marcy Kaptur, the longest-serving woman in House history, is receiving treatment for non-life threatening injuries sustained in a car accident in Toledo on Sunday morning. Kaptur, 80, was a passenger in a vehicle that was struck by another car. She was a passenger heading to a church service. The House is currently on its summer recess, so Kaptur was not in Washington this week.
Her office confirmed that she is active, alert and anticipates returning to her regular schedule soon. Kaptur is currently running for re-election in a race that has drawn significant attention, notably against former state Representative Derek Merrin. In the 2024 election, Kaptur won by a margin of just over 0.5%, with a libertarian candidate securing around 4% of the vote.
Emergency responders from the Toledo police and fire departments responded to the scene promptly and ensured that those involved received necessary medical attention. The Toledo Police Department's traffic division has not yet provided additional information regarding the investigation.
