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.

At least Lurch looked like a leader before he fell off his bicycle.

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

Broke a leg in nuclear talks with Iran. Prophetic.

A broken femur can be an extremely painful and inconvenient occurrence.

A leader from some distant planet, perhaps.

This is going to be devastating to the success of the Iran nuclear talks.

Almost as devastating as the weather and GlowBull warming is to the .7% decrease in last quarter's GDP.

Yes. It’s prophetic. And Beau Biden, who prevented Larry Sinclair’s press conference & secured his dad’s present position, has been called to his reward. Eventful weekend.

He served in Vietnam.

He fought in Cambodia also. Then he went to Paris for unofficial negotiations with the N. Viet Namese which was treason.

“Paramedics and a physician were in Kerry’s motorcade at the time of the accident, Kirby said.”

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

Femur is the hardest bone in your body - not a good one to break. My father spent 6 weeks in traction when he broke his back in the 1970’s.

Lurch will be out of action for awhile. Haven’t heard if the bike survived or needed o be shot.

The imams will send Benedict Kerry a get-well card so he can get back to giving them the nuclear bomb, a fond wish of this president.

Right out of an MST3K movie.

Hope the bike survived.
