Ohio's first black U.S. Representative is in stable condition at a local hospital. Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones suffered an aneurysm while driving her car on Tuesday.

No word on the specifics of her position.

According to a statement from police, Tubbs Jones had been driving erratically and her vehicle crossed from the northbound lanes across the southbound lanes.

An officer pulled a cruiser across the roadway to warn oncoming traffic. The officer reached her vehicle and found Tubbs Jones in medical distress, the statement said.

Tubbs Jones was one of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's biggest boosters during the primaries but decided to back Obama after Clinton quit the race. She is a superdelegate at next week's Democratic National Convention in Denver.

Tubbs Jones represents the heavily Democratic 11th District and chairs the ethics committee in the House. She was also the first black woman to serve on the powerful Ways and Means Committee.

UPDATE: CNN is reporting that Stephanie Tubbs Jones has died, but her family representative says she remains in critical condition in an Ohio hospital. We will keep you posted.
