Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) was hospitalized Saturday after he broke his leg during a parade for the UCONN men’s basketball championship-winning team.

Another parade attendee tripped and fell on top of Blumenthal, breaking the 77-year-old’s femur.

The senator will undergo surgery Sunday.

“What can I say, I love a parade! Thanks to Chris & everyone for the well wishes. I did indeed fracture my femur after a fellow parade goer tripped & fell on me during the parade today. Routine surgery tomorrow just to make sure everything heals properly. I expect a full recovery!” Blumenthal tweeted.
