Toledo Police Make Progress Identifying Driver in Crash That Hospitalized 80-Year-Old Marcy Kaptur

Q: What crucial piece of evidence from the impounded vehicles helped Toledo police track down the fleeing driver?

Police have not publicly identified a specific piece of evidence from the impounded vehicles that led them to the fleeing driver. What is known from the reporting is that both vehicles were impounded and processed for evidence, and investigators said they had made “significant progress” and were following “strong leads.” Witness reporting also indicated the fleeing driver may have been picked up by another vehicle, which could have helped investigators alongside the forensic work on the cars. Unless Toledo police release more detail, the exact evidence item from the impounded vehicles remains undisclosed.

Toledo police said Sunday evening they had made “significant” progress identifying the driver who fled after a 10:45 a.m. hit-and-skip crash involving Rep. Marcy Kaptur.
Kaptur, 80, and her 26-year-old campaign manager Kegan Zimmerman suffered non-life-threatening injuries after another vehicle entered their path on North Detroit near Central Avenue.
Kaptur’s office said she was a passenger heading to a church service, is active and alert, and expects to return to a full schedule soon.
A witness said one vehicle’s engine was thrown across the street and another landed in a neighbor’s yard, underscoring the force of the collision as investigators work to hold the driver accountable.
