Secretary of State John Kerry broke his leg in a bike crash outside Geneva Sunday, where he had been holding nuclear talks with Iran’s foreign minister.
Kerry called off the rest of his four-nation trip and will fly back to Boston.
State Department Spokesman John Kirby said Kerry is stable and never lost consciousness.
Kerry should make a full recovery and is in good spirits, he said.
The accident occurred near Scionzier, France, outside the Swiss border. Paramedics and a physician were on the scene with his motorcade at the time.
Kerry was transported to Geneva’s main hospital HUG, where he was being evaluated, Kirby said. A paramedic traveling with his motorcade immediately examined Kerry after his bike apparently his a curb, causing the fall, Kirby said.
X-rays at the Swiss hospital confirmed that Kerry fractured his right femur.
Ending the trip means Kerry is skipping meetings with Spanish leaders and a conference in Paris on fighting the Islamic State group.
Kerry’s cycling rides have become a theme of his diplomatic journeys, often taking his bike with him on the plane.
During discussions in late March and early April between world powers and Iran, he took several bike trips during breaks in the negotiations. Those talks were held in Lausanne, Switzerland, and led to a framework agreement.
Kerry met Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif for six hours in a Geneva hotel Saturday as the sides now work to seal a comprehensive accord by June 30.

Big Lou strikes again.
What a pity,it should have been his neck!
ironic if it had been his 33rd vertebrae, but since his head is so far up his ass it has extra crushion from a fall.
I heard it was Cindy Lou Hoo. She’s a sneaky devil. 🙂
Hi Henry,
Hahahahaha Henry,… that was the first thing that popped into my mind when I heard this latest,… “exercise equipment” incident!!!!
Big-Lou-Who,…. kicked the crap of Kerry for a jew, that Little-Cindy-Lou-Who knew was upset with for lack of a new war on behalf of the zionist-jews, and told Big-Lou to go ahead and do the job for Cindy-Lou and other jews who were crying boo-hoo.
I wonder if Big-Lou also gave Kerry a need to go see his poctologist (Ouch!!) also,.. boo-hoo!!!
JD – US Marines – For that treasonous Bag-O-Filth, John Kerry, the cost of failure,… “Priceless !!!”
.
Ha ha ha JD . . . you’re such a poet! 🙂

I’m not sure we can credit “Big Lou” with this one, because apparently “paramedics and a physician were on the scene with his motorcade at the time.”
If that’s true (and of course, it could just as easily be a lie), there would be too many witnesses for Big Lou.
Hopefully he’ll be peddling fast enough to kill himself next time.
Or maybe it was under cover pencil neck poindexter Lou-Hoo who specialized in bicycle sabotage.
That’s it ? His pathetic non working leg muscles couldn’t get him up to speed fast enough for sever head and neck trauma. This c suckers gotta gagaga go.
“X-rays at the Swiss hospital confirmed that Kerry fractured his right femur.

How convenient.
Is it REALLY broken?
Kerry almost had the signatures needed for “Peace without Honor” then ‘Herman Munster decides to go for a bike ride.’ John Kerry, always has been, and always will be, a bumbling buffoon.
I’m guessing “not” broken #1. He’s dodging something at hand.
. . .
When he arrived at the hospital the Doctors thought he was brain dead. When his security staff arrived after dropping off their prostitutes and sobering up, they said “oh that lack of brain activity is normal”.
After Kerry fell off his bike, he looked at the paramedic and said, “Man, did you see that hockey stick? It came out of nowhere!”. lol
Well now first Biden’s son and now Kerry. Is it my imagination or is Divine Providence getting a little earthly help?

Hermann Munster broke his leg?
