On a quiet Sunday morning in Toledo, Ohio, a routine drive to church became an unexpected crisis when U.S. Representative Marcy Kaptur and her campaign manager were struck by another vehicle whose driver fled the scene. Kaptur, who has served her congressional district for decades, was hospitalized but remained conscious and responsive — a measure of relief amid unsettling circumstances. The incident now rests in the hands of law enforcement, who must pursue both justice and accountability in the absence of the one person who could have offered both.
