US Secretary of State, John Kerry has broken his leg in a bicycle crash in France two days after attending Muhammadu Buhari’s inauguration in Nigeria, on Friday, May 29, 2015.
According to BBC, a spokesperson, John Kirby said the 71-year old is in a stable condition in hospital in nearby Geneva, Switzerland and he’s expected to make a full recovery after breaking his right femur and is in good spirits.
The accident took place in Scionzier, France, some 40km (25 miles) south-east of the Swiss border before he was then flown by helicopter to a hospital in Geneva.
Kerry, who was in Switzerland for talks on Iran’s nuclear programme, was due in Madrid on Monday to sign a defence deal and in Paris on Tuesday for talks on combating Islamic State militants but will now fly to Boston in the US for treatment.
