The crash occurred around 10:45 a.m. local time, and two people were taken to the hospital for evaluation. Kaptur, 80, was one of them. Reports thus far have not indicated whether Kaptur was driving the vehicle at the time or was a passenger.<\/p>\n

The crash was classified by local authorities as a \u201chit-skip,\u201d meaning that someone who was involved in the incident had fled the scene.<\/p>\n

A representative from the Toledo Police Department told reporters that the investigation into Sunday morning\u2019s accident was still in the preliminary stages, and that more information would be made available as they were able to piece things together. Police did not indicate whether or not the driver who fled the scene had been located.<\/p>\n
