EAST CLEVELAND, Ohio — U.S. Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones, one of Hillary Clinton's biggest supporters during the primaries, remained unconscious Wednesday in a Cleveland area hospital after suffering an aneurysm while driving her car the day before.

Tubbs Jones' car veered off the side of the road Tuesday night. Police found her unconscious behind the wheel.

The congresswoman's condition has since been stabilized at a hospital in East Cleveland, spokeswoman Nicole Williams said.

But there was a report Wednesday that Tubbs Jones, in grave condition, may soon be taken off life support. Aides in the congresswoman's Ohio and Washington, D.C., offices could not confirm the report when contacted by FOXNews.com.

According to a police report, an officer was driving behind Tubbs Jones' car at about 9 p.m.ET and observed her weaving.

After a couple of turns, the officer turned on his lights to stop the congresswoman. When she pulled to the side, her car then started to roll across the lanes of oncoming traffic. The officer then pulled his cruiser in front of her car to block it from oncoming traffic, the report said.

When the officer walked up to her sedan, he noticed she was in "medical distress" and called for an ambulance.

The 58-year-old Tubbs Jones became the first black woman to represent Ohio in Congress when she was elected in 1998. She is serving her fifth term in Congress.

Tubbs Jones is the chairwoman of the House Ethics Committee. That panel is currently probing the DUI arrest and potential abuse of taxpayer funds by Republican Rep. Vito Fossella.

Tubbs Jones is set to be a superdelegate at next week's Democratic National Convention in Denver. The congresswoman threw her support to Barack Obama in June after Clinton dropped out of the race.

At the 2004 Democratic National Convention in Boston, she delivered the main address on the first night of the event.
