US Secretary of State John Kerry broke his leg in an early morning cycling accident in Scionzier, France on Sunday, May 31. State Department spokesman John Kirby said that Kerry, who was flown to a hospital in nearby Geneva, Switzerland for treatment, is stable, his injury is not life-threatening and he is expected to make a full recovery. The injury, however, is near the site of a previous hip surgery, so Kerry will return to Boston for treatment at Massachusetts General Hospital with his doctor who did the prior surgery, according to Kirby. As result of his injury, Kerry will not be able to visit Spain as planned. He also won’t be able to attend the Paris counter-ISIL coalition ministerial meeting on Tuesday. He will participate in the Paris meeting remotely, Kirby said. Kerry’s cycling rides have become a regular occurrence on his trips. He often takes his bike with him on the plane and was riding that bicycle on Sunday.
