Democratic Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur of Ohio was hospitalised on Sunday morning after being involved in a car crash while travelling to a church service near Toledo. Her office confirmed she suffered injuries described as non-life-threatening, and she remains active and alert while receiving treatment. The incident briefly drew national attention given her status as a long-serving member of Congress.

Kaptur was a passenger in a vehicle that was struck en route to church, according to a statement from her office. She has represented Ohio's 9th Congressional District for decades, making her one of the longest-serving women in the history of the US House of Representatives. Her office did not provide further details on the cause of the crash or the extent of her injuries beyond confirming they were not life-threatening.
