Jimmy Carter hospitalised after fall

Former US President Jimmy Carter has been hospitalised after a fall at his home in Plains, Georgia.

A statement from The Carter Center says the 95-year-old suffered "a minor pelvic fracture" on Monday but remains in good spirits and looks forward to recovering at home.

Spokeswoman Deanne Congileo told The Associated Press she had nothing more to add to the statement.

Carter already fell once at his home earlier this month, leaving him with 14 stitches and bruising around his left eye.

Despite that, he still showed up to help build a home with Habitat for Humanity the next day in Nashville, Tennessee.

He used a cane when he rallied volunteers that morning.
