Secretary of State Kerry 'stable' after cycling accident
GENEVA U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry
is in a stable condition in a Geneva hospital after being injured in an accident
while cycling near Scionzier, France, on Sunday, his spokesman
said.
Kerry was out riding the day after meeting with his Iranian counterpart
Mohammad Javad Zarif in Geneva to try to overcome obstacles in negotiations on
curbing Tehran's nuclear program.
Kerry was transported via medical helicopter to a hospital in Geneva, where he is being examined, spokesman John Kirby said.
"Secretary Kerry is stable and likely suffered a leg injury. He did not lose consciousness," Kirby said, adding that paramedics and a doctor were on the scene with Kerry's motorcade at the time of the accident.
The 71-year-old secretary of state is an avid cyclist and often takes his own bike on official trips abroad.
