The American Airlines flight was diverted to Las Vegas where the woman, who had regained consciousness by that time, was met by paramedics and transported to a hospital. There were no further details on her condition.
The Airbus 321, which took off from L.A. International Airport at 9:20 a.m., was over Utah about an hour into its journey when Oka Nikolov, a Galaxy coach, noticed the woman was unconscious and unresponsive. When the flight attendant who came to check on the woman yelled out, "Code red," signifying a medical emergency, Pierra, the Galaxy's director of sports science, came to her aid.
