Sen. Richard Blumenthal breaks leg celebrating UConn victory

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.
