Rep. Suzanne Bonamici, D-Ore., was briefly hospitalized Friday night after she and her husband were hit by a car in Portland, Oregon, her spokesperson said.

Natalie Crofts, Bonamici's communications director, said in a statement on Twitter that the incident occurred as Bonamici and her husband, Michael Simon, were walking across a street after having left an event.

Portland police said a woman turned into Bonamici and her husband "at low speed and knocked them down."

The woman remained at the scene, cooperated with investigators and showed no sign of impairment, a police spokesperson said. No arrests were made and no citations were issued.

Bonamici was treated at a hospital for a concussion and a laceration to her head, and Simon was treated for minor injuries, Crofts said. Bonamici has been released and is recovering at home.

"The Congresswoman is expected to make a full recovery, but will be unable to attend the town hall meetings in Clatsop and Tillamook Counties today and other public events while she heals," Crofts added.

Bonamici was first elected to represent the Oregon's 1st Congressional District — which includes Washington, Yamhill, Clatsop and Columbia counties, as well as parts of Multnomah County — in a 2012 special election. She beat Republican Chris Mann to win re-election in the November midterms.

Bonamici is a leader on the Education and Labor Committee and chair of the subcommittee on civil rights and human services.
