Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur, the longest-serving woman in the House of Representatives, was hospitalized following a car crash in Toledo on Sunday. The incident occurred just before 11 a.m. local time on Detroit Avenue and Central Avenue. Police responded to the scene and determined it to be a hit-skip crash.
