Secretary of State John Kerry headed to a Boston hospital Sunday after breaking his leg in a bicycling accident in Switzerland and cutting short a diplomatic trip focused on nuclear negotiations with Iran.
Kerry, 71, broke his right femur in the accident early Sunday, said John Kirby, a State Department spokesman. The break is near the site of a prior hip replacement surgery, Kirby said.
Kerry's injury is “not life threatening, and he is expected to make a full recovery,” Kirby said in a statement. He said Kerry was in “good spirits.”

Dubai: US Secretary of State John Kerry cut short a trip to Europe to return home to Boston after breaking his right thigh bone in a bicycling accident yesterday in eastern France.
The accident came as the US, led by Kerry, five other world powers and Iran have resumed efforts to reach a nuclear accord before a June 30 deadline.
The prospect of a lengthy rehabilitation could hamper the nuclear talks and other diplomatic endeavours.
