GENEVA (AP) -- U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry broke his leg in a bicycle crash Sunday, apparently after hitting a curb, and scrapped the rest of a four-nation trip that included an international conference on combating the Islamic State group.
Kerry was in stable condition and in good spirits as he prepared to return to Boston for further treatment with the doctor who previously operated on his hip, U.S. State Department spokesman John Kirby said. He said X-rays at a Swiss hospital confirmed that Kerry fractured his right femur.
"The secretary is stable and never lost consciousness, his injury is not life-threatening and he is expected to make a full recovery," Kirby said in a statement.
Kerry, 71, was taken by helicopter to Geneva's main medical center, HUG, after apparently hitting a curb with his bike near Scionzier, France, about 40 kilometers southeast of the Swiss border.
Paramedics and a physician were on the scene with his motorcade at the time and provided him immediate attention. They quickly decided to order the 10-minute-long helicopter transport.
The Dauphine Libere, a local newspaper, said Kerry fell near the beginning of his ride to the famed mountain pass called the Col de la Colombiere, which has been a route for the Tour de France more than a dozen times.

Are there pictures or video of Kerry’s actual fall?
The idiot has the road to himself and yet hits a curb? Something wrong there.
(Me, that could happen. Haven’t been on bike in years and have to share the road with an assortment of other vehicles)
Maybe he hit a Kurd.
He probably thought he was above gravity! If I were on the obamacare Death Panel after a stunt like that I would give him a big thumbs down.
Pray America is waking
That idiot didn’t have a steady hand (brain) to begin with!
“That idiot didn’t have a steady hand (brain) to begin with!”
No argument over that, but my point is that pain meds could be even worse.
A news story said he intended to participate Monday in negotiations, remotely from back here in the states.
From my own experience with pain meds, judgment suffers. Ask my wife.
He deliberately took a fall at the beginning of the ride so nobody could see him fail the ride that figures in the Tour de France.
“God works in mysterious ways”
Not really.
You rang???
where did you find John Boys First Self Portrait ???
Guccifer had it?
He took his health needs business to the Swiss because that James Taylor and ‘you’ve got a friend’ tunes moment went over like a lead ballon. What a doofus. Oh. Bless his heart.

Dorky elitist idiot. This is why the peons like us must pay taxes.
