Nancy Pelosi rushed to hospital after sudden fall in Europe

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi might be 84 years old, but she still thought it was a good idea to represent an American bipartisan congressional delegation on a recent trip to Luxembourg.

During the trip, she was rushed to the hospital after suffering a nasty fall down a marble staircase.

Reports indicate that the lawmaker was rushed to the hospital and treated for a broken hip.

Just moments before the fall, Pelosi was seen looking relatively unsteady in a photograph where she needed to hold onto Rep. Michael McCaul, a Republican from Texas.

Despite the photo being a still frame, you can tell that Pelosi was looking more than a little wobbly.

She is clutching onto McCaul for support, but no other people in the photo are holding hands or leaning on each other. Pelosi was doing it out of necessity so that she wouldn't fall down.

A few minutes later, she did.

The former speaker of the House was rushed to a hospital for treatment and, hopefully, her eventual recovery.
