Stephanie Tubbs Jones, the congressional representative for Ohio's 11th district, was hospitalized Tuesday evening and remained unconscious Wednesday at Huron Hospital in the Cleveland area. Her car veered off the road Tuesday evening, where police found her unconscious behind the wheel.

A spokesman for the hospital said that family members requested that no other information on Tubbs Jones be released, and a spokesman for the Democrat said that she has "no information" about the accident "at this time."

Tubbs Jones, 58, was the first black woman to represent Ohio in Congress when she was elected in 1998. She is currently serving in her fifth term in Congress, where she is the chairwoman of the House Ethics Committee.

Tubbs Jones was also one of Hillary Clinton's biggest supporters during the Democratic primaries. She is set to be a superdelegate at the Democratic national Convention in Denver next week. She shifted her support to Barack Obama after Clinton dropped out of the race.
