Rep. Marcy Kaptur to undergo physical rehab after hit-and-run crash

Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D‑Ohio) announced on Sunday that she will begin a physical rehabilitation program after sustaining injuries in a hit‑and‑run crash that first responders in Toledo reported occurred earlier that day. The incident left Kaptur with injuries that require ongoing treatment, prompting her to step away from her congressional duties for a period of recovery.

Kaptur posted a short video on the social‑media platform X in which she expressed gratitude for the thousands of well‑wishes she received from constituents and community members. In the clip she thanked people for their support and noted that the outpouring of concern has helped her maintain a positive outlook during the healing process. First‑responding police and emergency crews confirmed that the vehicle involved was not identified at the time of the report.

The representative’s team has confirmed that she will be in a rehabilitation facility for the next several weeks, with a gradual return to her official duties once her medical team deems her condition stable. The incident underscores the ongoing risk of hit‑and‑run accidents in the area, and local authorities have urged drivers to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity.
