The answer from an intelligent alien who was context-naive might be something like so:

Aunt Minnie is a human being living in the 21st century Western culture of Earth. When humans in this region and time period become sick or injured, relatives and friends, or medical workers working on their behalf, will transport them to a hospital for treatment. Aunt Minnie was injured on a sidewalk made slippery by seasonal ice. Such injuries aren't uncommon but are treatable with various surgical and therapeutic techniques. This demonstrates the humans vulnerability and heralds our inevitable victory to harvest them as a source of food.
