(UPDATED) Kerry breaks his right femur in the accident in Scionzier near Chamonix in the French Alps

GENEVA, Switzerland (UPDATED) – US Secretary of State John Kerry broke his leg in a cycling accident in France on Sunday, May 31, his spokesman said, adding that he was in “stable condition” and will return to the United States for treatment.

Kerry, 71, broke his right femur in the accident in Scionzier near Chamonix in the French Alps, and has had to cancel a scheduled trip to Spain, spokesman John Kirby said.

“The secretary is stable and never lost consciousness, his injury is not life-threatening, and he is expected to make a full recovery,” he said in a statement.

“Given the injury is near the site of his prior hip surgery, he will return to Boston today to seek treatment at Massachusetts General Hospital with his doctor who did the prior surgery.”

Kerry held talks Saturday in Geneva with his Iranian counterpart Mohammad Javad Zarif in efforts to secure a nuclear deal ahead of a June 30 deadline.

The talks did not go into a second day as planned after Tehran rejected a key Western demand for site inspections. – Rappler.com
