Bono’s wife breaks ribs in quad bike holiday accident

Bono’s wife Ali Hewson has sustained broken ribs in a quad bike accident on a beach in Costa Rica, where the celebrity couple and some of their children are holidaying.

Initial reports claimed Ali, who works as a fundraiser for several organisations including one helping the children of Chernobyl, had broken a leg when the quad bike toppled over. That was later denied.

The accident made the front page of the Inside Costa Rica newspaper, which said she had been airlifted to the CIMA hospital in Escazu after she took a tumble on the beach. Bono reportedly accompanied her to the hospital.
