Sherrod Brown involved in minor car crash; was uninjured

Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, and one of his staffers were treated for minor injuries and released from a suburban Cleveland hospital Thursday after Brown’s Jeep Cherokee was hit by a car which apparently ran a stop sign.

Brown and his staffer were returning from Columbus to the senator’s Cleveland home when the accident occurred at 4 p.m. The Jeep’s airbags deployed and Brown and the aide were taken by ambulance to University Hospitals Parma Medical Center.

There was no word on the condition of the driver of the other car, although it is believed he was not seriously injured.

In a statement, Brown thanked physicians and nurses at the hospitals, adding “without a doubt that my Jeep Cherokee, made with American steel by union workers in Toledo, made all the difference in allowing us to walk away from this crash, a little stiff, but unharmed.”

Brown’s dog was also uninjured in the crash.
