Tyson Breaks Ribs In Motorcycle Mishap

Compiled From Wire Services

Former heavyweight champ Mike Tyson suffered broken ribs Wednesday in a motorcycle accident on Interstate 84 in Manchester and was expected to be hospitalized about two days, a hospital spokesman said.

Tyson is in stable condition, Hartford Hospital spokesman James Battaglio said.

“He’s got some fractured ribs on the right side and any other injuries are still being evaluated,” Battaglio said late Wednesday.

The accident occurred about 5 p.m. when traffic was moving slowly along the highway. Tyson’s motorcycle skidded when it hit some sand as it exited the highway. He was wearing a helmet.
