John Kerry hospitalized after bike accident

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry was hospitalized in Geneva with a broken leg Sunday after hitting a curb on his bike, the Associated Press reports. He was in stable condition and never lost consciousness.

Kerry will return to Boston for further treatment, a State Department spokesman said. The secretary was in Geneva for nuclear talks with Iran's foreign minister Saturday. He's cutting short what was supposed to be a four-country trip that was to include meetings with Spain officials and an international conference in Paris on combating ISIS. Kerry will attend the Paris conference remotely.
