Friday the 13th often brings bad luck, and today is no different for former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, 84, who was taken to the hospital after sustaining an injury in Luxembourg.

Pelosi was present for a photo uploaded by the US Embassy in Luxembourg that was posted around three hours ago. She is seen in the front row on the right, holding the hands of the gentleman to her left.

The California Congresswoman was visiting to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge from World War II. The group included U.S. government officials and family members of World War II veterans.

No details on the type of injury sustained

Pelosi’s spokesperson, Ina Krager, said the 84-year-old Democratic representative “is currently receiving excellent treatment from doctors and medical professionals.” However, the injury has impacted her agenda, with her team stating that she will not be able to join the delegation for the remaining activities.

This is a breaking news story and will be updated.
