EAST CLEVELAND, Ohio — A local congresswoman was taken to the hospital on Tuesday.

Cleveland Heights police said officers were called to her car before 10 p.m. for an emergency. No other information was immediately released. The 58-year-old Democrat became the first black woman to represent Ohio in congress when she was elected in 1998. Tubbs Jones is set to be a superdelegate at next week’s Democratic National Convention in Denver. She was one of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s biggest supporters during the primaries. She threw her support to Barack Obama in June. NewsChannel5 is hoping Wednesday to get more information about her condition.

UPDATE

Other reports saying she was found “collapsed”  in her car, another says she was seen “moving fast” in traffic.

A stroke or heart attack perhaps?
