Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi was hospitalized on Friday after being injured while traveling abroad on a bipartisan delegation to Luxembourg, a spokesman said on Friday.
Ms. Pelosi, 84, “sustained an injury during an official engagement,” the spokesman, Ian Krager, said in a brief statement that provided no details on the nature of the injury. She was admitted to a hospital for evaluation.
Ms. Pelosi tripped going down marble stairs at the Grand Ducal Palace and took a hard fall, according to a person familiar with the incident who was not authorized to comment and spoke on condition of anonymity.
Ms. Pelosi was traveling with colleagues in both the House and the Senate to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge.
After her injury, she was set to miss the remainder of her official engagements, according to Mr. Krager.
The statement said that Ms. Pelosi was working from the hospital and “currently receiving excellent treatment from doctors and medical professionals” and that she “looks forward to returning home to the U.S. soon.”
