German Chancellor Angela Merkel suffers pelvic injury on ski holiday

German Chancellor Angela Merkel cracked her pelvis during a skiing accident in the Swiss Alps and will have to cut back on her work schedule for the next three weeks, her spokesman said Monday Jan 06,2014

Angela Merkel’s spokesman Steffen Seibert said the chancellor suffered what she first thought was just a bruise to her left rear pelvic area while cross-country skiing in southeast Switzerland last month. But doctors later determined it was a “incomplete” bone fracture that will require her to rest for three weeks
