Leg broken, Kerry calls off Europe trip
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleUS Secretary of State John Kerry has called off his diplomatic swing through Europe after breaking his leg in a bike crash, AP reports.
Kerry had been in Geneva for talks with his Iranian counterpart over an emerging nuclear deal when he got into the accident and had to be airlifted to a local hospital.
He will now fly back to Boston instead of continuing his diplomatic mission.
Kerry had planned to travel later Sunday to Madrid for meetings with Spain’s king and prime minister, before spending two days in Paris for an international conference on combating the Islamic State group.
Kerry’s cycling rides have become a theme of his diplomatic journeys. He often takes his bike with him on the plane.
