Secretary of State John Kerry suffered a broken leg in a bike accident in France early Sunday, and will return to the U.S. for treatment, the State Department said.
The cycling accident occurred near Scionzier, France, about 25 miles from Geneva, where Kerry had been holding nuclear talks with Iran's foreign minister, Javad Zarif.
Kerry was flown by helicopter to a hospital in Geneva in a stable condition, and is said to be in good spirits.
State Department spokesman John Kirby said Kerry had suffered a broken femur, but is expected to make a full recovery.

Our boy Lurch ... taken last week from a different angle ...
He looks like Syndrome from The Incredibles.
John ‘Swift Bike’ Kerry. LOL
The actual ‘cycling accident’ remains undescribed. That makes me wonder if Kerry ran into a stationary object, something like a fire hydrant, a vegetable stand or an old oak tree.
Somebody over there has it on their cell.
I wonder who has my old Schwinn Varsity from 1970 ?
Hit a curb according to a later article
Wonder if they dropped him at the top of one of those mountains and he missed a turn. What an idiot.
Pray America is waking
I think it was broken when he tried to put the other foot in his mouth. There is a G_D and thank you for striking down a fool.
These are the types of injuries/photo ops our girlie administration has. I don’t ever remember reading...”General Patton suffers broken leg while riding his bike”. “Reagan suffers tummy ache eating too much ice cream”. “Rumsfeld falls off ladder hanging curtains”. “Bush wears creased Mom jeans as he throws out 1st pitch”.
Yeah, it’s a bad bone to break. Complications like a fat embolism can occur which it quite dangerous.
This should be good for an MOH. After all he is “in service” to his country.
I heard before he went, 0 told him ‘good luck and break a leg’.
Was he riding the cobbles?
Something I would love to try!
OK that would be on my cross bike and hopefully dry.
The big guys RACE them in snow and rain!
Note that Lance NEVER rode them, Eddy Merckx three times winner Paris to Roubaix!
The cobbles can hurt you; bad.
Ironic ... this won't get him a Purple Heart but will be far more painful than the three slight wounds he allegedly received in Vietnam that got him three Purple Hearts, a Silver Star and an early out.
Speaking of sailing season - does Kerry still spend time in Nantucket? Is that where Ter-ay-za is hiding out? And what really is going on with Ter-ay-za? Is the administration Martha Mitcheling her?
IIRC?
Oliver North broke something doing P L F’s off his garage roof?
I think we had a sand(?) pit for that.
Breaking a femur usually involves hitting an object or a fall from a great height...unless his bones are brittle.
Anybody know more about this?
