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.

So, from now on, when Lurch leaves to rub elbows with other world leaders to throw the US under the bus, please, no one tell him to break a leg. Just wish him luck. Ok?

“He served in Vietnam.”

Had not heard that before. He should have mentioned it when campaigning for president.

No conspiracy theories?

I’ll make up a quicky .....

I think it was self-inflicted for dubious purposes. He didn’t mean to break his femur, but like everything else he’s done since Secretary of State, has failed.

Speaking of sailing season - does Kerry still spend time in Nantucket?

He has his home in Boston, a summer home on Nantucket and his pricey sailing yacht ... that he kept in Newport, RI ... until it went public in local Boston papers that his boat was registered in RI to avoid MA taxes. Ter-ay-za is probably residing for the summer on Nantucket ... typically Memorial Day or the first of June kickoff the summer season.

He will have a memory which is seared — seared — in him.

Did they do a blood alcohol test?

Good thing they didn’t mistake him for a horse; he might have gotten shot.

I have to disagree with your assessment. The failure of the Swiss healthcare workers to recognize Jean-Francois Carre's noble equine pedigree has dashed my already dim hopes.

The leg was probably weakened by all the contortions he’s going to in an effort to get Iran to sign The Deal.

As much as I dislike Kerry’s policies, I do not wish that kind of pain upon someone of his age. This may be a game changer for him, unless, he can commandeer most aspects of his job via skype. Maybe Obama will send Sargeant Glum aka Susan Rice, in Kerry’s place.

Sometimes called a high side fall.

Rider is leaning inward while turning,a wheel is sometimes ‘tripped’ causing the rider to be whipped to the side over the bike.

Much or your momentum goes into the whipping action.

Not good.

If he fell to the inside and broke the largest and heaviest bone... very bad luck.
