Secretary of State John Kerry broke his leg in a bike accident in France, the State Department said today.

“Given the injury is near the site of his prior hip surgery, he will return to Boston today to seek treatment at Massachusetts General Hospital with his doctor who did the prior surgery,” a state department spokesman said in a statement.

Kerry is stable and never lost consciousness. He is expected to make a full recovery.

The State Department says the incident happened this morning while Kerry was bicycling near Scionzier, France. Paramedics and a physician were on the scene with the secretary’s motorcade at the time of the accident.

Kerry was transported via medical helicopter to Hospital University Geneva. “Secretary Kerry is in good spirits and is grateful to the French and Swiss authorities, doctors, and nurses who assisted him after the accident,” the department spokesman said.
