Michael Schumacher Skiing Accident Leads To Coma

Retired seven-time Formula One champion, Michael Schumacher, had a serious skiing accident that led to him in a coma, doctors said.

Schumacher had been skiing off-piste in the French Alps with his 14-year-old son in the upmarket Meribel resort, where he reportedly has a property, when he fell and hit his head on a rock.

Schumacher was “suffering a serious brain trauma with coma on his arrival, which required an immediate neurosurgical operation”, the hospital in the southeastern French city of Grenoble said in a brief statement.

“He remains in a critical condition.”
