Walters, 83, cut her forehead, prompting the ambulance call, but is good condition. ”Out of an abundance of caution, she went to the hospital to have her cut tended to, have a full examination and remains there for observation,” ABC News senior vice president Jeffrey W. Schneider told reporters. “Barbara is alert (and telling everyone what to do), which we all take as a very positive sign.”

The television veteran is in Washington, D.C. to cover President Barack Obama‘s second inauguration, but will be unable to contribute to the event due to her injury.
