Los Angeles City Councilman Curren Price was taken to a hospital by paramedics Wednesday after experiencing an unspecified health issue while attending a groundbreaking ceremony for the Los Angeles Convention Center expansion project.
Price, 74, was among multiple city officials in attendance at the 7:30 a.m. event at the downtown convention center. He appeared to become dizzy as people were speaking at the event, and Mayor Karen Bass — a former nurse — helped tend to him.
Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics responded to the scene and placed the council member in a wheelchair and took him to a waiting ambulance.
“During today’s groundbreaking for the Los Angeles Convention Center, Councilmember Curren Price experienced a health-related incident,” Price spokeswoman Angelina Valencia-Dumarot said in a statement. “He will undergo evaluation to determine what factors may have contributed to it. At this time, no further information is available, and it is too early to make any determinations.”
The LAFD said only that paramedics responded to the Convention Center and took one person to a hospital. No information was released on Price’s condition, but he appeared to be awake and alert as he was taken to the ambulance.
