Connecticut Sen. Richard Blumenthal says he’s undergoing surgery Sunday to repair a broke leg, the result of someone falling on him while participating in the University of Connecticut men’s basketball team parade.
The Huskies last week won the men’s NCAA basketball title.
The 77-year-old Blumenthal tweeted Saturday that he fractured his femur, but expects to make a full recovery.
“I did indeed fracture my femur after a fellow parade goer tripped & fell on me during the parade today,” he tweeted. “Routine surgery tomorrow just to make sure everything heals properly. I expect a full recovery!”
