US Senator Richard Blumenthal is expected to undergo surgery after he fractured his femur during a victory parade for the UConn Men’s Basketball team in Hartford.
March Madness was so wild this year that it hospitalized a US Senator well into April.
The Connecticut Democrat was among tens of thousands of fans celebrating UConn’s claim to the NCAA basketball title on Saturday when a fellow parade attendee tripped and fell on top of him, causing him to fracture his femur. The 77-year-old will undergo routine surgery on Sunday “just to make sure everything heals properly,” he noted on Twitter, adding that he anticipates making a full recovery.
