Le Reboot de Vendredi 13 refait encore surface

December 1, 2019 | News | No Comments

Après avoir perdu l’an dernier sa date de sortie puis purement et simplement annulé, le Reboot de l’increvable franchise “Vendredi 13” refait surface. Le carton au BO d’Halloween n’est sans doute pas étranger dans cette idée…

La saga des Vendredi 13 est vraiment increvable; à l’image de son boogeyman de légende au fond, Jason Voorhees. En 2017, le Reboot de la saga, dont on parle depuis un moment, avait d’abord perdu sa date de sortie, avant de se voir carrément annulé purement et simplement. Il se murmurait alors que le mauvais départ au Box Office de Rings avait précipité la décision d’annuler le Reboot.

Mais, à la faveur du carton au Box Office américain d’Halloween, qui vient de récolter ce week end plus de 77 millions $, l’idée du Reboot de Vendredi 13 refait surface… Toujours est-il que le site Deadline révèle que Vertigo Entertainment et SpringHill Entertainement sont actuellement en discussion pour faire revenir une énième fois Jason Voorhees d’entre les (non) morts. Victor Miller, scénariste du dernier opus de Marcus Nispel (et aussi derrière le script de Freddy contre Jason), sera à nouveau à la barre du scénario du futur opus.

DENVER — 

He has seen all the clips, watched the games from 2018 and shared the same practice field.

On Sunday, though, Thomas Davis — a 15-year veteran, past Super Bowl participant and Walter Payton Man of the Year winner — is going to experience a career first.

He’s going to line up in an NFL game and have Derwin James out there with him.

“The guy is a 100-mph guy, 100% of the time,” Davis said. “I’ve seen the tapes from last year. He’s always going to bring high energy.”

As a group, the Chargers could be in unusually lofty spirits against Denver, particularly for a team that has lost two in a row and is 4-7 and barely breathing as a playoff hopeful.

They’re about to welcome back James, their All-Pro strong safety who turned his rookie season a year ago into a crusade of highlights.

James last appeared for the Chargers in early August, during their 2019 preseason opener, playing 11 forgettable snaps in a mostly meaningless loss at Arizona.

A week later, he suffered a stress fracture in his right foot during practice, had surgery and began the season on injured reserve.

The Chargers on Saturday activated James, meaning he’ll make his much-anticipated, more-belated 2019 debut in Week 13 against the Broncos.

It took until the first day of December, but the Chargers defense finally has its full swagger back.

“He’s always going to be where he’s supposed to be,” Davis said of James. “He’s a sure tackler. He makes plays when the ball is in the air. He’s all that you would want in a safety.”

The Chargers also activated Adrian Phillips from IR on Saturday, bringing back another key member of their defensive backfield and a 2018 All-Pro on special teams.

Phillips had been out since breaking his right arm in a Week 2 loss at Detroit. He replaced James at strong safety to start the season but played only 111 snaps before getting hurt.

Now, the Chargers defense is as complete as it has been all season, even with starting cornerback Michael Davis beginning a two-game suspension because of a substance abuse violation.

On offense, the Chargers also are close to having their starting tackles return. Russell Okung (groin) and Sam Tevi (knee) both practiced to some degree last week and are listed as questionable for Sunday.

With James and Phillips back, the only full-time starter still on IR is center Mike Pouncey.

It might be too late to salvage their season, but the Chargers are at least in position to now go down with most of their pieces finally in place.

“We kind of know the odds are stacked against us,” coach Anthony Lynn said. “But this group’s gonna fight, I can tell you that. … We’re gonna figure out a way to win some of these close games that we’ve been losing.”

With the team’s physical health at a season high, the next question is the health of Philip Rivers’ game.

The veteran quarterback is coming off a two-week stretch in which he threw seven interceptions, a glaring, career-worst performance that has brought rampant speculation that Rivers’ abilities are dwindling.

This game against the 3-8 Broncos is not one that will capture the interest of the rest of the country or even notable chunks of the NFL.

But that doesn’t mean it lacks significance to a franchise icon who is unsigned beyond this season and wants to remain with the franchise.

“I’ve been through rough stretches before,” Rivers said. “It’s by no means any fun. But I think you can find something [in] it. You grow from it, and you keep going.

“I’m not the first person who’s dealt with some tough things in this sport. You hate it from our team standpoint … [but] there are a lot of worse things that could be going on than a rough two-game stretch in a football season.”

Rivers has 14 interceptions and two lost fumbles, his 16 turnovers the second-most in the NFL. The opposition has scored on seven of those miscues, with six touchdowns and a field goal.

As a team, the Chargers have 15 turnovers since Week 5. Only Tampa Bay has more during that stretch.

“Guys know what we have to do,” Lynn said. “We’re turning the ball over and not taking it away enough. They know I’m not going to keep talking about it, too. We’re gonna take care of the football or else.”

He didn’t specify what “or else” could entail. But it’s clear that the 4-7 Chargers, as a whole, have reached a point of “or else,” the return of someone as important as James perhaps coming too late.

Asked what he expects to see from Rivers on Sunday, Lynn said: “Most great athletes respond well. I believe Philip’s going to respond well.”

Responding otherwise will only further advance a story that threatens to eclipse a season that’s already quickly setting.

Etc.

The Chargers placed wide receiver Geremy Davis (hamstring) on injured reserve Saturday and promoted wide receiver Jalen Guyton to the active roster.

Defensive tackle T.Y. McGill and safety Shalom Luani were waived.

Breaking down how the Chargers (4-7) and Denver Broncos (3-8) match up on the field heading into Sunday’s game at Empower Field at Mile High:

When the Chargers have the ball

Philip Rivers has spent the last two weeks being told he’s fast approaching the conclusion of a career that figures to send him into the Hall of Fame. Rivers, however, insists he hasn’t heard — or, at least, listened to — the chatter regarding his sudden decline. Asked about the critiques, he said talk of his career crash landing “makes me laugh really.” All of this has come as the result of back-to-back losses during which Rivers’ accuracy and decision-making have been sharply dissected. He threw seven interceptions in those two games, half of his total for the season. Including his two lost fumbles, Rivers has 16 turnovers, the second-highest total among quarterbacks behind Tampa Bay’s Jameis Winston. With the Chargers alive for a playoff berth only mathematically, Rivers should have plenty of motivation Sunday. When these teams met in Week 5, Denver won 20-13 after severely limiting Rivers’ deep options. That was the game in which running back Austin Ekeler caught 15 passes. Rivers threw 48 times, completing 32, and the Chargers somehow didn’t score a touchdown on offense. The veteran quarterback has a ton of reasons to want to play well and be productive this time around.

When the Broncos have the ball

The Chargers have faced running back Phillip Lindsay twice, and he has averaged 7.4 yards in 26 carries and scored three touchdowns against them. Undrafted in 2018 out of Colorado, Lindsay is the Denver edition of the Austin Ekeler story. “When he breaks through the line,” Chargers defensive coordinator Gus Bradley said, “he runs like he knows he’s fast.” Free safety Rayshawn Jenkins, coming off a stellar game against Kansas City’s speed, again will be counted on to take the proper angles and approaches to limit Lindsay. The Broncos rushedfor 191 yards and averaged six yards per carry against the Chargers in the teams’ first meeting. On the plus side, the Broncos are expected to start rookie quarterback Drew Lock, a second-round draft pick in April. Lock, who has been sidelined by a thumb injury, has yet to make his NFL debut. On the negative side, the Chargers already lost to a rookie quarterback, one making his first NFL start, during Week 6. Pittsburgh’s Devlin Hodges finished 15 for 20for 132 yards and one touchdown on a night when Steelers fans hijacked Dignity Health Sports Park.

When they kick

When these teams played each other in October, the Chargers’ only touchdown came on a 68-yard punt return by Desmond King. That play and a 43-yard kickoff return by King are about the only notable moments for the Chargers’ special teams when returning kicks this season. And King is coming off a game in which he struggled just to catch punts, an issue coach Anthony Lynn blamed on the Aztec Stadium lighting in Mexico City. Punting in the thin air of Denver hasn’t been an advantage for the Broncos’ Colby Wadman, who ranks 28th in the league in average (43.8 yards) and 32nd in net average (38.4).

Jeff Miller’s prediction

Picking the Chargers in this spot is difficult because they’ve lost five of the last six games in which they’ve been favored. That includes the first meeting between these two, when the Broncos’ defense stifled the Chargers. But, at some point, the Chargers should more closely resemble the team so many people thought they’d be this season. And now they’re matched up against a 3-8 Denver bunch dealing with a variety of injuries, turning to a rookie quarterback and lacking anything significant for which to play.

CHARGERS 20, BRONCOS 10


Have a question about the NFL? Ask Times NFL writer Sam Farmer, and he will answer as many as he can online and in the Sunday editions of the newspaper throughout the season. Email questions to: [email protected]

New England’s Matthew Slater, an All-Pro special teams captain, has changed several games with blocked kicks, open-field tackles and balls downed near the opponent’s goal line. We don’t often hear much about special teams. I was wondering, is a guy like Slater, a career special teams star, unique now or even in NFL history?

John Thompson, Downey

Farmer: No question, Matthew Slater is phenomenal, both as a player and an influence in the locker room. His dad, longtime Rams tackle Jackie Slater, is in the Hall of Fame, and Matthew is assembling a convincing case for Canton on his own. He’s a rare player, but not a unique one. Every relatively recent era seems to have a handful of special teams stars, beyond kickers and punters, who routinely affect games.

To get more insight on the topic, I reached out to Steve Tasker, a Hall of Fame semifinalist, to get his thoughts on what kind of players are built to succeed on special teams, on the fringes of the spotlight. Tasker, who spent most of his career with the Buffalo Bills, was a seven-time All-Pro selection — Slater is a four-time first-teamer — and made his biggest impact as a sure-tackling gunner on kick and punt teams.

“You get kids nowadays who will say when they’re in high school or college that they’ll do anything to play in the National Football League,” Tasker said. “But when they get to an NFL training camp, they decide that they won’t cover kicks to make an NFL team.

“They won’t try and block kicks, they won’t block for a kick returner, there’s a ton of things they won’t do to play in the NFL. That was always really puzzling to me because I did anything they would ask me to to play in the NFL.

“There’s a ton of guys out there who literally turned their backs on an NFL career because they didn’t want to cover kicks.”

Outstanding special teamers didn’t always have the status they do now. From 1964 to 1973, teams had a game-day roster limit of 40 players — six fewer than now — and special teams was more of an afterthought, often a way for second-stringers to get playing time. But when the rosters expanded, teams had the luxury of signing or developing some special-teams aces, and in a league so competitively balanced, strength in those areas often made the difference between winning and losing.

“Marv Levy used to tell us there was a difference of about 2% between the best and worst teams in the league,” Tasker said, referring to the Hall of Fame Bills coach.

“It’s not very much. They all draft their players from the same pool, sign their free agents from the same pool. It’s hard to get an edge. He made a point to us: ‘Listen, that 2% is 100% of the difference. So you’ve got to get it whenever you can.’

“And for us at the time, particularly when I got to Buffalo, special teams was the big difference maker.”

If booth reviews are decided in New York, why does the referee watch on a monitor?

Corey Ellyn, Long Beach

Farmer: If the on-field officials are out of the loop on a play that’s being challenged and/or reviewed, it might be faster to exclude them completely and let the officials on the fifth floor at the league’s Park Avenue headquarters quickly make their decision.

I asked league spokesman Michael Signora about that, and he said the referee watches the replay “for consultation purposes” while officials in New York make the call.

All games are monitored by league personnel in the Art McNally Gameday Central nerve center at NFL headquarters.

When a coach throws a red challenge flag, Al Riveron, the league’s head of officiating, is patched through to that game’s referee. Riveron has a wall of touch-screen monitors and looks for the best angle to judge the play.

Those video feeds are limited to what the networks provide, so Riveron does not have access to any coaches tape or in-house cameras.

Riveron is looking for “clear and obvious visual evidence” that would warrant changing a call. Absent that, the league won’t change it. And while he will listen to the opinion of the on-field official, who is also looking at the video, Riveron has the final say.

It was a dreary ending to another sad UCLA season, drizzle slickening a mostly empty Rose Bowl on a night the game-time temperature was 49 degrees.

Cold reality continued to envelope the Bruins on Saturday.

The developments on the field weren’t any more uplifting, UCLA suffering a 28-18 setback against California to complete its fourth straight losing season and second in a row under coach Chip Kelly.

Kelly’s team finished with a 4-8 record one year after going 3-9, hardly the results UCLA’s fan base expected from a coach who had once taken Oregon to four major bowl games in as many seasons.

Kelly said he was not discouraged by the results, describing his commitment to the Bruins as “the same since I’ve been here; it’s been 100%.” He also rebutted media reports that he might head back to the NFL as an offensive coordinator.

“I don’t know where they came from and I have not had any discussions with anybody,” Kelly said of the reports. “We have a banquet tomorrow at 1 o’clock and we’ll see our seniors off in a manner that they should be seen off and then we hit the ground recruiting, so that’s kind of our plan.”

The Bruins (4-8, 4-5) started and ended the season with three-game losing streaks, failing to replicate their late-season surge from a year ago. UCLA’s defense was the primary culprit during the latter skid, giving up an average of 43 points over that span and raising questions about whether defensive coordinator Jerry Azzinaro should be allowed to return in 2020.

Kelly would not discuss whether he was contemplating any changes on his defensive staff.

“You’ve got to look at everything that goes on and we always assess everything after the season — scheme, personnel, everything,” Kelly said. “We’ll look at everything. We’re always trying to improve and trying to make ourselves better. This isn’t the time to talk about anything like that.”

UCLA quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson returned from the injury that had knocked him out of the game against USC last week only to absorb more blows and leave after getting hurt again with about four minutes left.

He was constantly on the run, getting sacked five times for 39 yards in losses, while completing 23 of 39 passes for 278 yards with one touchdown and one interception.

The Bruins suffered one final humiliation in the final minute when running back Demetric Felton Jr. was stuffed for a three-yard loss on fourth and one at the Cal two-yard line.

Cal entered the game with the worst offense in the Pac-12 but appeared plenty capable against the Bruins. Golden Bears quarterback Chase Garbers passed for 230 yards and one touchdown against an overmatched secondary and running back Christopher Brown Jr. ran for 111 yards and two touchdowns.

Brown’s spinning 10-yard touchdown run on the first play of the fourth quarter gave the Golden Bears (7-5, 4-5) a 28-18 lead that provided more than enough cushion on a night the Bruins’ injury-plagued offense reverted to its bad early season form.

Highlights from UCLA’s loss to California on Saturday.

It was an unhappy sendoff for Bruins senior running back Joshua Kelley, who ran for 76 yards and a touchdown in 19 carries in his final college game. Kelley made the game’s first memorable play when he hurdled Cal safety Jaylinn Hawkins near the end of a 20-yard run that pushed him over 1,000 yards for the second consecutive season.

That play ended up being more than a footnote when Thompson-Robinson capped the drive by throwing a 19-yard touchdown pass to Jaylen Erwin for the game’s first points.

“It feels pretty cool because there have been so many incredible running backs here,” Kelley said of being the eighth UCLA player to reach that milestone in back-to-back seasons. “You’ve got coach [DeShaun] Foster and Maurice Jones-Drew, you have just so many incredible backs here. And maybe something I’m gonna reflect about it, you know, I know I didn’t win as much as those guys and that’s something I really wish I could do, just contribute to more wins for this program but I think it’s pretty cool that someday I’m gonna see my name listed with some of those guys.”

UCLA’s beleaguered defense held firm until Cal receiver Makai Polk took a screen pass from Garbers late in the first quarter and picked up a couple of nice blocks on the way to a 44-yard touchdown catch that tied the score.

Cal surged ahead 14-7 early in the second quarter when Garbers crossed the goal line on a one-yard quarterback sneak and the Golden Bears never relinquished the lead.

Predictably, there were large expanses of open seats on a night the conditions were less than ideal and the outcome held no real significance.

The announced crowd of 38,102 gave the Bruins a record low for average attendance at the stadium they have called home since 1982. Their average of 43,848 fans for games at the Rose Bowl broke the previous low of 49,107 set in 1995.

Those who did come cheered the 15 Bruins who were introduced beforehand as part of their final college game.

The departing players were flanked by two lines of teammates as they walked to embrace Kelly. Senior linebacker Krys Barnes did not play after suffering a knee injury against USC.

Thompson-Robinson had to play behind two second-string offensive linemen after center Boss Tagaloa went down in the first quarter and left guard Duke Clemens limped off the field in the third quarter. Sam Marrazzo took over at center and Jon Gaines II at left guard.

Another Bruin went down late in the third quarter when receiver Chase Cota caught the ball at Cal’s one-yard line and had to be helped off the field. On the next play, Kelley ran for a one-yard touchdown and the Bruins pulled within 21-18 after Delon Hurt caught a pass in the back of the end zone on the two-point conversion.

There wouldn’t be anything else to celebrate besides the end of the misery.

But Kelly maintained he had seen growth in a team that could return as many as nine starters on offense and seven on defense. Their ranks will be bolstered by a recruiting class that’s currently ranked No. 31 nationally and fifth in the Pac-12, according to 247 Sports.

“I’ve seen young players that played a lot of football for us this year that grew and took advantage of the opportunities they had,” Kelly said, “and you’re excited to come back when we get a chance to get to spring ball and coach these guys up. And I know through the experience they had and how they really progressed during the season that I’m excited about what the future is, to be honest with you.”

The chilly rain that fell most of the afternoon tapered off early in UCLA’s season finale against Cal, but the gloomy atmosphere that had settled over the Rose Bowl never lifted. Even the music played during the pregame recognition of the Bruins’ seniors had a somber tone. It was an odd note to strike during a supposed celebration but a sadly accurate reflection of the state of the program two years into Chip Kelly’s tenure as coach.

The Bruins’ 28-18 loss to Cal on Saturday meant Kelly’s second season ended much as the first one did, with a few details altered. It ended with a losing record (4-8 overall and 4-5 in Pac-12 play) and no bowl game invitation. Not that the Bruins deserved a bowl bid. It had become impossible, anyway, before they produced another disjointed performance against the bowl-bound Bears before an announced crowd of 38,102 diehards.

Consider this: Cal (7-5, 4-5) had scored more points in only one other game this season. And consider this, too: In the Bruins’ last three games they gave up 129 points — 49 to Utah, 52 to USC and then 28 to the Bears.

Earlier this season, Kelly had said a team was what its record said it was. Reminded of that on Saturday — and of his 7-17 record as UCLA’s coach — he sidestepped the question of who and where the Bruins were after a season that was bracketed by a three-game losing streak at the beginning and another at the saggy, soggy end.

“I think this team is growing. I’ve watched all these guys that have responded to everything that they’ve faced during the season,” he said. “We knew going in the challenges we had. It was going to be a real young team and a lot of kids were going to have to get experience on the run, and I think the guys did that. I watched them … grow as a group, and I think that’s part of what this process is all about.

“It’s obviously not what we want it to be, but I’ve seen improvement with these guys. There’s some young guys here that you’re really excited about what their future is.”

That improvement wasn’t obvious. The Bruins’ offense was slow to get going this season but picked up when conference play began, yet they scored only three points at Utah and only 18 against the Bears. After the Bruins went 3-9 last season, hitting .500 this season would have been considered a success, but they were 1-5 before a sudden surge carried them to three straight wins over Stanford, Arizona State and Colorado. At 4-5, with hopes of a division title still alive, they promptly fell apart defensively and took themselves out of the running for anything but another disappointing season.

Highlights from UCLA’s loss to California on Saturday.

The end of the season was too recent for Kelly to say on Saturday what changes he would implement defensively. “I think you’ve got to look at everything that goes on,” he said, “and we always assess everything after the season — scheme, personnel, everything.”

He plans to be part of that assessment, quashing reports that he would leave for an NFL job. “I don’t know where they came from and I have not had any discussions with anybody,” he said. “We have a banquet [Sunday] at 1 o’clock and we’ll see our seniors off in a manner that they should be seen off and then we hit the ground recruiting, so that’s kind of our plan.”

How long it will take to implement his plans remains unclear, but he must find a way to bring about dramatic improvement next season or the Chip Kelly Era will be brief. “I don’t know what scale you’re looking for,” he said. “I just think I’ve seen young players that played a lot of football for us this year that grew and took advantage of the opportunities they had, and you’re excited to come back when we get a chance to get to spring ball and coach these guys up. And I know through the experience they had and how they really progressed during the season that I’m excited about what the future is, to be honest with you.”

Senior running back Joshua Kelley, who had 76 rushing yards and passed the 1,000-yard mark for the second straight season, also says he sees better days ahead for the Bruins. Sitting beside fellow senior Josh Woods in a postgame interview session, Kelley said he wouldn’t take back anything about his time at UCLA and that being a Bruin helped him grow “as a man, as a person.” He added, “I think it’s gonna be special for the young men coming up the next few years. There’s so many play makers here. It’s gonna be awesome to see. I think it’s great that me and Josh [Woods] were a part of this and that we contributed to something special that’s coming.”

Kelley also said he believed Chip Kelly could turn the program around. “I’ve got a lot of confidence in coach Kelly and what he’s gonna do,” Kelley said. “Defense is gonna be great, there’s a lot of young guys and now they’re gonna be older, they’re gonna be more experienced. “So I have no doubt in my mind…. UCLA’s gonna be great these next two years, I just know it for sure, without a doubt.”

Kelley and Woods left the interview room with their arms resting on each other’s shoulders, a poignant sight that was repeated often Saturday night. After the game ended, many players stayed on the field to pose for photos with friends and embrace one last time this season, or one last time as Bruins. It was a somber ending, one we’ve seen before. It’s up to Kelly to make sure that ending changes next season.


ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates — 

World champion Lewis Hamilton cruised to victory from pole position at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on Sunday, capping another stellar season with an 11th win and 84th overall.

The six-time Formula One champion is now only seven wins behind seven-time F1 champion Michael Schumacher’s all-time record of 91, which he could realistically overtake next season.

After he made a clean start from a record-extending 88th career pole, Hamilton was untroubled as he won on the Yas Marina circuit for the fifth time – four with Mercedes and once when driving for McLaren in 2011.

He finished about 17 seconds ahead of Red Bull’s Max Verstappen in a race bereft of overtaking, except for Verstappen’s clean move on Charles Leclerc’s Ferrari on Lap 33.

Leclerc was third for a 10th podium in a strong first season with Ferrari, which included an F1-leading seven poles – two more than Hamilton and Bottas – and two wins. However, Leclerc was summoned for a post-race investigation because there was a difference between the amount of fuel in the car as declared by the team and the amount actually inside the car.

Leclerc only just held off Hamilton’s teammate Valtteri Bottas, who climbed 16 places to fourth after starting last. Sebastian Vettel started fourth and finished fifth in a disappointing end to a season where the four-time F1 champion has won only one race.

Hamilton made a clean start, but Verstappen was overtaken by Leclerc and just held off Vettel behind him on the first lap, which saw Pierre Gasly’s Toro Rosso sandwiched between both Racing Point cars and forced to pit for a new front wing.

After just 10 of 55 laps on the desert circuit, Hamilton had pulled five seconds clear of Leclerc.

Ferrari pitted both drivers for new tires on the 13th lap, but while Leclerc’s tire switch was relatively good, Vettel’s took several seconds too long because the mechanics struggled to fit his front left tire on.

It was the latest basic mistake from Ferrari in yet another season marred by errors following similar blunders in the past two seasons.

Ferrari replaced Maurizio Arrivabene with Mattia Binotto as team principal, but Binotto has not managed to stem the flow of mistakes.

Hamilton pitted about halfway through the race and such was his on-track advantage that he still came out six seconds clear of Leclerc, while Verstappen was in third place and complaining about engine, braking and throttle issues.

Still, the audacious Dutchman then found some extra speed to overtake Leclerc and held the Monegasque driver off as he tried to overtake him back down the right.

Ferrari pitted both drivers simultaneously again on Lap 39, and this time the tire changes were both fairly smooth.

Leclerc finished a massive 43 seconds behind Hamilton but had built up just enough of a lead to hold off Bottas by .9 seconds.


SAN DIEGO — 

A woman armed with a box cutter slashed the neck of a shopper at a Walgreens in San Diego on Saturday, leaving the victim with a life-threatening injury, police said.

The attack occurred about 9:15 a.m. as the victim was browsing the cosmetics aisle at the drugstore on Camino Ruiz north of Mira Mesa Boulevard, said San Diego police Officer Tony Martinez.

The alleged assailant, a 55-year-old woman, first threatened to hurt the victim, Martinez said. She then grabbed the customer by her hair, pulled her head back and sliced her neck, he said.

Employees and customers inside the store witnessed the attack and disarmed the assailant, detaining her for officers. The woman was arrested on an attempted murder charge. Her name was not immediately released.

The victim, 59, was taken to a hospital. Her condition was not immediately available.
